Mandolas Italian Kitchen

This is not rated highly enough on Yelp. The most friendly atmosphere, with kind customer service and real attentiveness. I loved the happy hour appetizers- bruschetta was fresh and delicious, full of garlic. The fried mozzarella was full of flavor and stringy cheese. The minestrone soup was gobbled down in a couple bites. Caesar salad was crunchy and zesty. The main dishes were also a delight. Can't really pick a favorite- enjoyed the lasagna and the pizza! Remember- it is all being served quickly and with family style love! A real gem. For dessert there are incredible options as well. Chocolate dipped strawberries, coconut cake, cheesecake, tiramisu, a multitude of gelato flavors. Great kids options for food. And for all the rest of the stuff that's needed to go to a restaurant with kids, they have you covered there too. Both men and women's bathrooms have fully stocked change tables. It's not often you see that level of care. Hurry, go check them out now. :) you won't regret it.

The decor is ok. Kind of an Italian deli vibe. The service was a bit non existent. You have to order at a counter then seat yourself. We ordered the chicken parmigiana. It came with a sparse amount of pasta, the chicken was a bit rubbery. Kind of like it was frozen then tossed in a fryer then topped with some sauce and cheese.

Food was good. We had misto salad, really good! Luna ravioli was delicious. Caprese salad very good. Eggplant good too. Service was very pleasant and accommodating. Ambiance is pleasant. Our family Sunday go too!

Reliable Italian American spot with large portions and reasonable prices. Great menu options. Always a good experience.

This is definitely a fun restaurant with a different twist. You order your food - get a table number and they bring you your order. I had shrimp scampi which was delicious. Pizzas looked and smelled good too. Staff very friendly.

We went for lunch and loved it! We both got paninos with fries. I will say they skimped a little on the fries (should fill the plate!!) but meal was tasty, decor is cute, nice bar and staff was friendly and helpful. Didn't take pics of our gelato but my dad got the orange creamsicle and I got chocolate & birthday cake and all the flavors were delicious!

I love Mandola's! I love Italian food in all it's many forms and styles, so it's nice that I don't get the same thing everywhere I go. I may love lasagna, but that honor generally goes to Carrabbas when I want it. Here, at Mandola's I love their Mezzeluna Modo Mia along with their Italian Creme cake. So when I found a Mandola's located right here in Oldsmar, I was so excited that I didn't have to go all the way to Carrollwood or even Riverview just to get my fix. The interior is warm, colorful, and inviting, just like the other locations I've been to, so it was nice waiting for my to-go order. It's not as big as Carrollwood, which is okay since I already know what I want anyway. My food came out rather promptly, and when I arrived home, everything tasted perfectly hot and fresh. I love how I got it with a side of the parmesan cheese for the pasta and olive oil for the focaccia bread. For the perfect, finish, none other than their unique, Italian Creme cake! Love how I have a new Mandola's to swing by for my faves!

Disappointed this time. Ordered chicken piccata, my go to meal here and it was not up to par. Some what more salty than usual and the spaghetti was lukewarm warm at best. Other person ordered the same but with Alfredo instead and she also mentioned the temperature.

Had dinner here for the first time. We really liked the cleanliness and ambiance of the place and the service was excellent. But the food was pretty bad. The pizza was paper thin, soggy and cheese was greasy ( I think they use spaghetti sauce on the pizza). The chicken parm was a small flattened chicken tender with little sauce and cheese and the side of spaghetti had no flavor. The only thing we really liked was the complimentary bread and oil. The price was too high for poor quality food and we likely wont be back.

In a crowded food space, Mandola's can hold its own!I heard about Mandola's from a friend but the "chain" aspect threw me a bit. When we moved to Tampa we agreed to stop dining at chains as much as possible. Our visit tonight gave me "Little Italy" vibes in the best possible way. Greeted by a lovely hostess, we were offered full service bar seating or easy counter service. We opted to order at the counter and it gave us time to cruise the dessert case.Our pizzas were perfectly crispy and the fried cheese was a gooey and crispy at the same time. We enjoyed complimentary bread and dipping oil. We tried to save room for dessert but in the end, cried "Uncle". Nah... we just took it "to go".Whether dining in or take away, you will feel like you've just eaten at Mom's house for Sunday dinner.
