Mambo Italian Street Food

Service was ok could’ve been more attentive since only one other table had patrons. We waited very long in between server visits. They never asked if we wanted any drinks!! Not once! Food was average at best. The salads are very good though. Pricing was also good for this quality of food. It is comfortable and cozy for sure. Dessert was a disaster! Molded with green on the inside of the cannoli and weird tasting tiramisu & crem brûlée. The restroom needs a deep cleaning. Trash was overflowing and faucet & floor was filthy. We’ve been here twice and I’d say based on extremely slow service & just ok food both times, we just can not recommend it. Spend your money elsewhere. It was very disappointing because we really wanted to love this place. Would’ve liked to make it our go to with family and friends.

Mambo Italian Street Food has become one of our go-to spots in the Sandy Springs / Smyrna area. My wife, in-laws, and I have been coming here for about a year and a half, and every visit has been consistently great. The ambience is warm and relaxed, and the food is always delicious—especially the pastas, pizzas, calzones, and their hearty lasagna. Portions are generous, prices are very reasonable, and the drinks are strong in the best way. It’s a solid place for a casual dinner with family, and we’ll definitely keep coming back.

What keeps us returning is how consistent everything is—the food always comes out hot, flavorful, and well-seasoned, and you can tell they really care about what they’re serving. The lasagna is rich and comforting, the pizzas have great texture and toppings, and the pasta dishes are super satisfying without feeling overpriced. The staff has always been friendly and attentive, whether we’ve come in as a small group or with family.

Overall, it’s one of those places that feels reliable and welcoming every time you go. If you’re in the area and craving Italian comfort food with good vibes and solid drinks, Mambo Italian Street Food is definitely worth a visit.

Waitress was less than friendly. She made us feel like asking questions was an inconvenience. Yet we observed her actually smiling with others that looked like her.

Place and food was good, but we may or may not go back. We don't want her serving us.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Ecstatic!

I am beyond impressed with my delivery experience from Mambo Italian Street Food! Everything from the speed (only 30 minutes!) to the quality and temperature of the food was exceptional — as if I were dining in the restaurant itself.

We ordered a variety of items, and every single one was fresh, flavorful, and piping hot:
• Fritto Misto
• Fried Ravioli
• Penne alla Vodka
• Focaccia (house-made!)
• Pistachio Kale Caesar Salad
• Neapolitan Flatbread Sandwich with prosciutto, arugula, and tomatoes (the tomatoes were so fresh and sweet!)
• Parmesan French Fries
• Cannoli for a sweet finish

Every dish was spot on. The portions are generous, the pasta is under $20, and the flavor rivals some of the top Italian restaurants in Marietta. If you’re looking for a reliable, high-quality Italian spot that won’t break the bank — and delivers like a dream — Mambo is it.

This place holds a special place in my heart. I used to go to their original location in Johns Creek (near The Forum) where it was a family staple. We loved the calamari fritti, carpaccio, and the pizzas — and I can honestly say they’ve only gotten better. We were sad when they closed there, but thrilled to discover them again in Marietta.

I’ve been meaning to try this new location for five years — and now that I have, I’ll definitely be making an in-person visit soon. Don’t sleep on Mambo!

I’m also Italian descent and I can say that this is great food!
