    Went for lunch today and it was great. Our server, Antonio was very helpful and on top of refills and came by to see how we were. The food, I had linguini with broccoli, spinach and shrimp - quite good. Will be lunch tomorrow as well. Plenty of tables full for a lunch crowd.

    My wife and I were stopping for appetizers before a show. Being a Saturday I made reservations. We were seated on time, wait staff was attentive and friendly. Appetizers were delicious. Mussels, calamari and lobster Cappellacci were awesome.

    Our waiter, Angel, was professional, warm and welcoming. He made our experience wonderful. The chicken parm and chicken vesuvio were very good and very plentiful! Always a good meal at Mambo.

    Food is always great at Mambo’s. They were definitely very busy on Friday night and a bit understaffed.

    This was our 2nd experience in a short time and we really enjoyed everything. Our server was fantastic, the food was 10 out of 10, can’t recommend enough. Thank you for being there!

    Love Mambo. Exceptional food. Wonderful service. Some of our dishes were priced reasonably, but $50 for 6 scallops as the main was shocking. Highly recommend, just ask prices when ordering specials!
