About Mondo's Italian Restaurant

Mondo's Italian Restaurant is a popular spot for delicious Italian cuisine. The service is great, and the food is hot and generous in portion. The restaurant can get busy, even on weeknights, but the wait is worth it. The menu is being revamped, adding new items and changing some favorites, but the dishes remain tasty. Standout items include the fried artichoke goat cheese appetizer and the manicotti with a meatball add-on. The atmosphere is lively and crowded, but the food always shines, making it a great place for a satisfying meal. Customers enjoy the authentic Italian dishes, especially the Northern Italian offerings, which transport them back to Italy. The portions are plentiful, and the oil and bread are consistently great. While parking can be challenging during busy hours, the overall experience remains highly recommended. The attentive service and flavorful food make Mondo's a favorite for those seeking top-quality Italian food prepared with care. Recent reviews highlight that it is considered the best Italian on James Island, if not Charleston, with a lively atmosphere even during renovations. Visitors often find the bread with lemony olive oil and parm scrumptious and enjoy dishes like penne picatta with scallops, cooked al dente with capers, lemon, sun-dried tomatoes, and served with excellent cocktails and wine. The generous portions and friendly staff contribute to an incredible dining experience.

We are James Island natives, born and bred South Carolinans. All about supporting local business. Have never been treated as poorly as we were by the hostess/manager at this establishment. She really created a scene and was incredibly rude to us, all because we thought we were being called for our table. We will stick to peninsula Italian from now on.

The moment we stepped into the restaurant our dining experience was ruined. The two women seating guests were extremely rude.
They separated our group so we didn't get to sit together. When being taken back to our seat the woman walking us to our table slammed the menu's down and turned and walked away without saying a word. Me being the person I am yelled "Thank you!" There is no excuse for someone to be that rude. The entire interaction from walking through to doors to being...read full review
