Tremendous time at Mambo’s. Great service from our bartender Tyler. Good drinks and good times! House made Limoncello was awesome.

A very unique and relaxing place to have dinner. We have been here a few times and each time we enjoyed it very much. We usually sit outside at the patio, a singer was singing soft Jazz and old songs around us. So relaxing and wonderful. Like went back to the good old times! All the dishes were delicious. The staffs were very friendly and accommodating.

We saw Mambo's when we were looking for lunch in John's Creek area. The waitress Hannah greeted us when we came in she was extremely nice. We ordered the pepperoni pizza which was based on the stone, which is the best. The waitress brought a cut up ciabatta bread with olive oil. The bread and oil seemed a little plain but was perfect for snacking between pizza slices for a different flavor. The pizza sauce was just the right amount of spicy and the whole pizza was awesome. The restaurant was a little sticky on the floor and menus were a little beat up and the tables had brown packing paper over them for greasy food I guess, which was a little odd. Besides that the food taste and service was five star! Will be coming back to try more menu items!

I love their curry pasta! The chicken isn't dry and is cooked perfectly. I also really love the bread they serve at the beginning. The atmosphere is romantic at night, with lit candles and live singing on Fridays!

Good food, nice outdoor seating. This visit was unlike others where we just didn't have good service. (May, 2018)

A manager is needed at this restaurant. Great location at the Forum with outside seating, and the food was good, with good prices, but the floors were dirty, the bakery cabinet had leftover cake from days before with few pieces to choose from, and crumbs everywhere. There were fingerprints all over the door, old menus that needed to be washed with ragged edges, and a more than broken umbrella which needed to be tossed.

So we came here after the Glow Run in downtown Peachtree Corners. We sat at the bar with two other couples. It took 30 minutes for the bartender to finally come back to the bar to take out order. After they took out I order it took another 15 minutes for him to actually pour the beer into the glass and puts it on the bar so we could drink it. Did I mention that we were sitting at the bar. Then we wanted to order food. I had to get up and go ask someone to come take our order for the food. After they took a order for the food it only took like 15 minutes for the food to come out and an additional five minutes for them to get us silverware. It was a complete and total fustercluck. We will not be coming back here anytime soon for beer or pizza.

Horrible! Starving and was going to get something to go and had three employees just standing around looking at me but not asking me anything. I have worked in the restaurant industries for year and this is not worth going to. If you are paying to get some sort of service. Stay away!

I have been going to Mambo for years and the only good thing about this place was the food. And now, the last two times I have been I have become ill from something I ate. I gave them the benefit of the doubt the first time, but I will not be going back. The service has never been good but I liked it bc the food was affordable and really good. I know they have had problems with the health department in the past and I have a feeling that is why I am getting sick from the food. Their April health and food safety report was a "C" and reported they don't clean their vegetables before preparing. As I usually get the caprese salad, I am pretty sure this is what happened to me. I'm really bummed bc I used to love this restaurant but I won't be going back.

Why I did not look at yelp before coming here is beyond me. This Resturant is in the Forum which I imagine has pretty high rent so I expected that the Resturant would be pretty good. I WAS WRONG It was dead on a Friday night (2nd hint that this was not going to be good). Let give them credit for the things that were right: My Server was great. She did everything right!!! The food came out quick. Actually my salad, the bread and my entree all came out within 60 seconds of each other. They need to spread that out. Resturant 101 The Pasta, vodka sauce and meatballs were all good. Ok that the end of the good it goodish stuff. The Cesar salad was boring, no croutons just lettuce, cheese (that needed to be much smaller) and dressing that had very little taste. Remember this is an Italian Resturant. They have this large desert display when you walk in the front door. The deserts looked great so I decided to try one. OH MY GOD, the carrot cake was disgustingly old. Seriously.... come on people. One bite and that was it. I asked to server to try it and she agreed that it needed to go into the trash. So don't make my mistake of eating here. It's as bad as Buca de Bepo which is one of the worse Italian restaurants in all of Atlanta.
Wow how do I start. I really enjoyed my meal. I ordered the Salsicia Pizza & added Pepperoni. The pizzas are wood fired and was so delicious. Also the give you bead with EVOO mixed with Vinegar which was also delicious. One pizza and salad will feed two people. I was impressed with Yonka's (waitress) service. When a waitress anticipates your needs before you can ask that's excellent service. This restaurant has that old fashioned excellent customer service. I live about 50 miles one way from Mambo's and it was so worth the drive. I'll definitely return

My go to local casual Italian restaurant. Great patio, good drink prices, a reliably good starters and entres. I would have given a 5 star, but service can be hit or miss depending on staffing and crowd size, but it's good 80% of the time.

The food was excellent. We ordered pizza, pesto pasta and the pear salad. I was highly pleased with the quality of the food and the price. I will say the service was slow. It appeared they only had one waitress hi was quite pleasant. We will return when we are in the area.

Absolutely the most terrible experience I've ever had at a restaurant. We waited at the door for 5 minutes until someone greeted us. We started to seat ourselves when the hostess finally came to seat us. Then we sat, waited five more minutes for the server to come over and awknoledge us, she forgot to bring our drinks to the table, took 15 minutes to get our food, she didn't speak English, didn't bring the sauce we asked for, I had to get up from my table to ask for the check and she still didn't come to our table for another 10 minutes to bring the check. The restaurant was extremely understaffed. I work in the service industry, I get it. But they need better management something like this shouldn't happen. The manager and hostess did nothing to help her and just watched while she flailed around. This was a terrible experience.

Could not believe how lazy the staff was. First, sat at a both and then asked to move after receiving water. Which is fine, but we had to pickup our own menus, silverware, and drinks. Took awhile but finally had the server come back and ask for our order, food came out in a timely manner. I've had better marinara out a can from the store, nothing had flavor or seasoning. Which still isn't bad. But then it took nearly an hour to leave between the server disappearingredients, me having to go and find her, her finishing cleaning the bar long enough to bring it, and then finally having to walk up to the bar and call her out for disappearing with my card for 10 minutes. Not interested in having my identity stolen, or ever coming back to this restaurant again. Save yourself the trouble and just go to Olive Garden next time.
