First of all, they have a great atmosphere here. Some soft live music and a good menu with options for everyone. I was there with a party of eight and the service was excellent. Everyone in my party enjoyed the music, food and staff. The food was great and I would recommend this restaurant for any occasion.

The service and the food was very good! The cocktails option was optimal and flavorful. First time here and with a larger party of 12. My husband and I will definitely come again. The charcuterie board was delicious!

Excellent food and service. Lots of gluten free options – never a problem to accommodate with gluten free dishes and never a reaction. We go for lunch or dinner. Hosted a family event for a large group of elderly people and the wait staff was terrific! Atmosphere is great! Parking is ample. Easy to get to. Sal is also very generous with supporting local charities. Keep up the good work!

I was a patron at Mambo Italiano on February 3rd in the evening. We had a wonderful dine in experience. I had an eggplant lasagna that came with a salad and a pasta( fettuccine Alfredo). Everything was delicious! The waitress was friendly. Even though I live 5 hours away, we will be back! The atmosphere, food, and staff were top tier!

Great authentic Italian food and deserts. Amazing wine and drinks. Great servers and wonderful atmosphere. The music playing on the sound system set the right mood to enjoy a great dinner. They have a entertainer that sings and plays a guitar on fridays.

If there is any special occasion, Mambo Italiano is the place I am picking to eat! I’ve been eating here since I was just a child, and it still never fails to impress me. I remember always eating way too much of their delicious bread, devouring the fried calamari, ordering the most delicious pasta, and for some reason I remember my brother would always get the Orange Fanta. The last time I was here, I had a great time celebrating my graduation with my family. The bread and calamari were still to die for; I 100% recommend the fried calamari. I ordered the fettuccini Alfredo, which I’d honestly pass on next time in favor of the ravioli or lasagna. The service is always fantastic, and they even kept the kitchen open a little longer for my graduation dinner. The atmosphere let’s you know that you’re in a fancy Italian restaurant, with nice chandeliers and the waiters all dressed up. The restaurant has expanded in recent years, and I’m happy because Mambo Italiano is the restaurant that deserves it most. Whatever the next occasion may be, I will be back!

I was looking for an easy takeout meal. I stumbled across the Peppers and Egg sandwich. They recommended it on garlic bread with cheese. I know it sounds like something weird to get especially at such a nice establishment with so many options, but it was nuts. So incredibly good. Get it with fries. I highly recommend it as well as everything else on the menu. Great location for large family gatherings. Awesome ownership and staff.

We went here for New Year’s eve dinner, the food and service was fantastic! A large variety of Italian dishes available including seafood, steak, ribs, and chops. Their own hand made pasta, a good selection of wine, and a nice selection of deserts. We had a great time and loved the food and ambiance. My seafood risotto was by far the best in the NW suburbs, we are definitely coming back soon!

Outstanding service and food! The atmosphere has a somewhat upscale without being stuffy vibe but is very comfortable and inviting. I really enjoyed the many types of raviolis and especially enjoyed the vodka sauce rigatoni. I almost made a meal out of that amazing warm crusty Italian bread they start you out with! The soup was delicious and the servings were all very largely portioned as well, good bang for your buck.

First time there. My wife & I, plus a friend visiting from out of state, could not believe how good this place is. Great food, prices & excellent service from Antonio. We will be back.
