First time visit it was really good. With live music and great food options and good portions. The house salad wasn’t very good. But the Philly cheese steak pizza was really good. Great friendly service.

Mad Italian used to be great. Now it is so inconsistent. Got 3 sandwiches to the tune of $60 + tip. The 10 in cheesesteak had plenty of steak but beef barely cooked. Blood inside bun. The two chicken cheese (10 in) had no chicken to speak of. Come in MI. I’ve been a patron since you opened the doors. You can do better. ☹️

Best cheesesteaks in town! Fun and casual. Take out is pretty quick too. Monday is trivia night. Never stayed for it but when picking up food people seem to like it. Gets crowded for trivia.

Growing up in the Atlanta area, I never made it to The Mad Italian. Until twice recently. Once a few months back with a friend. Another with a large group. On a weeknight, we were able to get in no problem and get our food delivered on time and on the taste scale, mighty darn tasty. On a Sunday afternoon, I had booked a group of us and had spoken to the manager. For whatever reason, when we arrived at the time we said we would, the table was not quite available. Apparently there was some miscommunication in which private area we were to sit in. There was fairly quick turnaround in getting us into the room. Then there was the wait. Mind you, we were competing with football and the Sunday lunch crowds. To our waitress’s credit, she had a lot to handle. We had 30+ people. Most of us fared pretty well in enjoying our drinks and company. Some of us were hungrier than others. I did try at one point to get a second server to help. But then once our server finished up her larger tables, she swooped in fast as she could like a superhero and did a power speed order to keep some of us who were getting a little hangry still happy and those of us who were already happy, happier. We still waited. And just when it felt like we couldn’t wait anymore? The food came out. We saw. We ate. We conquered our appetites. And our party enjoyed each other’s company. People all seemed not mad at all, only quite glad at the Italian food they had ordered and eaten. There was hardly a leftover left over. Everyone was truly full and then some. I cannot speak for everyone’s orders, but we had a scrumptious lasagna that would do Garfield proud. If you want my honest review, I rank it 4.5 Stars. Google does not allow half stars. The math for the Mad Italian rounds that up to a 5. I suppose if you have to have problems, being busy isn’t a bad one. And maybe they were a little short-staffed that Sunday? Anyhoo, Maybe between my 4.5 and the Google 5, it’s really a 4.75? That’s not something to be mad about at all…
Most of you have passed this place without know how much of a jewel it is. You have to try the cheesesteak and pasta lasagna. While you are there… ask for IslandJon Vodka.

Very good vibe in this place! They're so friendly and make you feel comfortable. I had the cheese steak. The meat and cheese are just okay, but the bread is underwhelming. Their special dipping sauce that came with the chips was delicious though! I would recommend the place but just know the cheese steak is a little over hyped

Mad Italian has always been a favorite spot for me. The Philly Cheese Steak is always my go to option. Parking is limited which is the only bad side. Overall great place for some grub.

We went here for the first time while in Atlanta for a doctors appointment and it was by far the best experience. They were very child friendly and the food was amazing. The waitress actually engaged conversation with my kids (ages 1-2). Would recommend to anyone in a heartbeat.
I don’t go there often—maybe once a year—but every time I’ve been, the service has been terrible. Today I went to pick up an order and wasn’t even greeted. The person at the door was eating and didn’t acknowledge me at all. When I got to the counter, no one was there to help, and when I asked a staff member, he was extremely rude. The management clearly doesn’t care, and the whole place feels poorly run. Honestly, I’m not sure how they’re still in business other than people coming for the food. The service is awful, and some of the staff have no manners. I’d strongly recommend spending your money somewhere else where at least you’ll be treated with respect and your business will be appreciated.
