Mambo Italia

What am excellent meal! Fresh pasta and off the chart meatballs and sauce. The staff are very attentive and helpful.

A great spot in Sewickley with some pretty great dishes. Being BYOB, it's a perfect choice for a gals night out. We enjoyed some apps, several pasta dishes were enjoyed, and a couple salads and pizzas. The Gnocchi alla Sorrentina was delightfully pillowy, and my friends loved their Pasta alla Norcina and pizzas! The dinner was great, but we ended up rushing out when finished. We had a reservation at 6:30, the restaurant closes at 9. At 8:30 they must have shut off the wood burning oven for pizza and the entire place was full of smoke. They eventually opened the garage doors. But will keep this in mind for future to leave before turning the oven off!

I'm thinking I want to say this is some of the best food sewickley has to offer! Came here on a Friday afternoon at 4:30 before the dinner rush. Ordered meatballs, salad and a pizza with sausage. Everything down to the salad dressing was really good, really fresh and made with love. We were roaming around tasting bites from different local eateries on this particular joint, and I'm really happy we stopped here because they topped our list. Can't wait to come back for dinner !

I rarely write a review, but this restaurant has so many amazing ones that I thought I would leave mine. We dined just as the doors open. Party of 6.The ambiance is very comfortable and is entirely what we were expecting for a small but highly rated Italian restaurant. The tables and chairs are sufficient and comfortable.The staff is pleasant and inviting. Our waitress was attentive and friendly. She offered the favorites on the menu and her timing was perfect when we ordered or asked for anything.I wanted to give this review a 4, but the food disappointed. Reviews rave about the pasta with vodka. (We give it a 5) Although it was fresh and pleasing to the eye, it just wasn't creamy or buttery enough like Aviva or even il pizzaiola. We ordered another pasta, the Norwich maybe? That was a 7. It was creamy but just a bit too salty. The main problem for us with the pastas was that the pasta was super al dente. We definitely would've like it cooked a bit more because it was so chewy.The pizzas seam to be the star here for us. We ordered margherita and pepperoni. The cheese and fluffy crust were really good. The focaccia bread appetizer was the best (a 10) on the menu and the calamari was a solid 8.The spinach salad with bacon was very weird and I couldn't really tell what I was supposed to be eating. It was eggs, bacon within a dressing (a ton of it) and spinach. I give it a 4.The chicken Milanese was not good at all. The chicken itself was very bland and the salad on top was extremely salty. You wouldn't want to eat one of them by themselves, which my daughter often did if the salad fell off the chicken. The potatoes were overly seasoned. We gave the meal a 3.The food was not terrible but it just wasn't what we were expecting and for the cost we just didn't see the value.

If you are in Sewickley this is a great place for dinner. They make their pasta fresh daily. The service is amazing and owner regularly ones to the table to chat. Sitting outside is a great touch when weather conditions permit. Overall great food great atmosphere. Added bonus is that it is BYOB.

I loved this place when I first started going about a year ago. It has changed and not for the better! I told everyone they had to try it because the service was amazing. You felt welcome and comfortable. That kind of service where you walked away thinking about how much you loved your waitress. The quality of the food stood out, and there were little extras like the owner stopping by to tell you about how they made a certain dish.My last two experiences were NOT like this.My dining experience was mediocre at best (with a waitress that was pushing me out the door), and food was so-so. The ambiance was not what it used to be. The special is gone, and what is there instead, are extra expenses... a higher corking fee ($12 a bottle) and a $7.50 "caking fee" (on a birthday party of 9 people - nine entres and a 75 year old mother's birthday, it was insulating to see a caking fee! Come on... it was a special birthday cake for an older lady... the style and class are gone!) Such a shame!

Food okay nothing to rave about ambiance good next day ordered pizza ti go it was burnt both crust and toppings could not finish

Quality dining. Filling. Great Service and easy atmosphere. First time of many to come. Go enjoy.

Food is great, service is great, owners are great!Be sure to make a reservation, and it is BYOB. Yum!
