“My family and I had dinner here for the first time, and I have to say I was very impressed! We were greeted with very cheerful faces. The waiter was very professional, very helpful with the menu and very personable. The dining room was very inviting with nice decor, good lighting, very comfortable seating and extremely clean. The pizza was just incredible. One of the best I've ever had. A nice lady came by to check on us afterwards to see how everything was, and I always love when they do that because it shows they care. I can't wait to come back and try some of the many options on their menu! It all looks pretty amazing....This will definitely be a regular spot going forward. So glad we came in to check them out. I highly recommend, you will not be disappointed.“

“We went this last Friday for their Prime Rib Special, we arrived right at 5:00pm and were seated right away. Service was incredibly quick and our server was a fantastic personable woman (whose name I can’t remember 🤦🏻‍♀️). The fresh bread was sooo good, my husband had the Cajun pasta which was sooo delicious! I got the Prime Rib Special, the smoked mashed potatoes were to die for, and the asparagus was perfectly cooked. My prime rib was a little overcooked, which made it a bit tough but was still so yummy and the seasoning on it was top tier. The cheesecake dessert was one of the best desserts I have ever had! It lasted about five seconds at our table. The cocktails and mocktails were also perfect. Overall a great experience and we will definitely be back!“

“My family stumbled onto Mandola’s ItalianKitchen in Odessa Florida. What a delightful restaurant! From the moment we walked in, the customer service was excellent. We were greeted at the door by the manager, Chris. He explained how the restaurant ordering and seating worked. We ordered at the counter, where the young woman patiently took our order, clarifying along the way. The wine selection for the casual environment was impressive. We were given a table number and we found a seat. Immediately someone brought warm focaccia bread and Italian oil to dip it in. Our food arrived at our table surprisingly quick. The portions were huge (luckily we were provided to-go boxes when we were ready to leave) The servers were friendly and professional. The chefs were visible as they prepared the food. Our used dishes were removed promptly as we finished one course after another. Then Chris, the manager who first greeted us, came to our table to ensure that our experience had been not just satisfactory, but excellent. Which it was! We are putting Mandola’s Odessa on our favorite restaurant list for when we return to Tampa. Thank you!“

“When one is under the weather like I have been, the pasta fagioli is hands down the best! my parents had gotten me some and goodness, I was already waiting more! It's that good, just the right spiciness too. I highly recommend it!“

“Amber was one of the best server/bartender I’ve had the pleasure of being taken care by! She was on point with her menu knowledge, caring attitude, and friendly service!! She was incredible and we for sure will be back. Thank you Amber for such a great night!“

“This is such a great Pizza / Italian eatery. The food is always amazing and the staff are hospitable. Review by Gabriel Culiat“

“Tried the Baked Penne with marinara sauce tonight and it was one of the best things I’ve eaten in the Austin area. The marinara tastes fresh, it was nice and chunky but cooked down well, sodium level was spot on without any sweetness to it, great garlic level - delicious without being overpowering. The pasta was cooked perfectly. Good mouth feel, not mealy, not too hard or soft, held up well to the fork and wasn’t overbaked. Perfect amount of mozzarella - they weren’t stingy with it and it was complimentary to the amount of pasta and sauce. The best thing about it is the large dollops of ricotta on top - it offers a beautiful creaminess against the acidity of the tomatoes that balances really well, and it was a pleasant surprise. I think there are a lot of Italian places around here that wouldn’t think of adding this to a dish, either because of the bottom line or just a lack of desire to update a classic. For the amount of pasta you get and the quality and flavor you get, I would pay twice as much as the current menu price at $6.99 - amazing value. Definitely putting this place on “The List.”“

“We've purchased from Niki's quite a few times and every time the food is fabulous. We are fortunate to have them in Georgetown. The taste of the food is great and the portion size is more than adequate. The food is prepared well and for the quality that it is, the orders are filled quickly. We always take the food home, as we live close.“

“I had the club sandwich and it was great! We also had the seasoned fries with mozzarella cheese, bacon, and jalapeños & they were a great appetizer! Staff was very friendly and our friend was able to bring her very cute and well behaved dog with her. I’ll definitely be back!“
