The food here is over hyped. I tried their lasagna and it was legit just drenched in their sauce. The seasoning wasn’t even that great. We waited over an hour for a table of two, to be fair though it was on a Saturday night. Considering the size of the line I may have had higher expectations for this place. The sausage was tasty. Everything else was just okay if that.

I enjoy the atmosphere of the place its cozy and warm environment. The staff were quick and helpful. We ordered the mozzarella sticks expecting fresh mozzarella from a place that looks so nice. However ive had the exact mozzarella sticks at Ihop or Sonic premade out of a box and dropped quickly in a fryer. The marinara served with it was good though. The salads were much better than the entrees. The bread served was a nice touch but no olive oil or butter were served with it and it was basically chewy white bread. I really wish they would bring the quality of the food up to par with the vibrancy of the space. I should have taken more pictures. I was hoping for True Italian food but it is very similar to an olive garden.

Very nice restaurant. The atmosphere is so good and also their food and service. I've been there a couple of times . I had pizza, pasta , calamari and they don't disappoint. It's plenti of food and it's delicious. Also have big variety of wines, beers and liquor. Definitely will go back.

I stopped by Mondo’s for lunch and got their lunch special with spaghetti and meatballs and a house salad. Both were absolutely amazing! The spaghetti had that perfect homemade flavor, and the meatballs were tender and full of flavor. The house salad was fresh and a great complement to the meal. The best part? All of this was under $20, which is such a steal for the quality and portion size. On top of the great food, the service was incredible - from the warm welcome by the host to the attentive and friendly care from our server. Mondo’s really makes you feel taken care of. Definitely worth a visit for a delicious and affordable lunch!

My wife and I love this place. The food is always amazing and the service is fantastic. We had the chicken parmesan, lasagna with meat sauce, and the baked rigatoni. Each was delicious and I would highly recommend. For dessert we had the Italian cream cake and the limoncello cake and they were so good we almost ordered seconds. Our server, Stevie, was excellent. She took our order quickly, kept our drinks full, and make great recommendations. Great food and great service is why Mondo’s will continue to be our go to restaurant whenever we crave Italian food.

I don't get to go out to eat often as I have a tbi and it makes restaurants hard. We went on a lunch date to Mondo's and immediately upon entering the hostess asked if we wanted a private room (I didn't ask or expect this). The staff were very attentive even though we were out of the main dining area. The lights were turned down for me so I could actually focus on enjoying my meal! Our food was delicious and the portions were generous. The prices are fair and the service was good. I never had to ask for refills and they were very attentive to my needs. They helped with the menu and made sure that the lights weren't too bright. I wasn't expecting this level of service! We will definitely be returning and my wife and I plan to make this a regular choice for dates once I am better.

Not a big fan of Italian food and I don’t like this sketchy area of Peoria. Too much traffic, too many people, painful parking. All of this has kept Mondo’s off of my list to try. I’m running out of places to try, so I’m here. Good timing today. Light traffic, and to my surprise, Mondo’s has lots of easy to access parking. The restaurant is as attractive on the inside as outside. It looks like and Italian restaurant on the inside. Walls covered with family pictures. If you took the time, you could probably identify pictures of notorious mobsters on the wall. Immediately greeted and seated by Sandy. We had a big comfortable booth. We had already studied the menu. My wife wanted Baked Ziti. Pasta, tomato sauce and cheese. Something I would never order. She loved it. It is a soup and salad day. Minestrone and a house salad with the house Italian dressing, for me. Exceptionally fresh crisp salad and zesty dressing. The soup listed as cup size is a big cup. Very enjoyable meals. The ambiance, food quality and outstanding friendly service from Sandy combine to give Mondo’s a five-star rating. It is such a nice comfortable, attractive restaurant it is cataloged in my favorites file. I like it!

Mando's was just perfect. Great experience! The food was amazing. For Appetizers we tried the Calamari and the Hot spinach artichoke dip and both were prepared and presented beautifly. We also tried the wood fire pizza and that was delicious! We ordered several dishes to try a bit of everything and all i have to say is Mandos did not dissapoint! Great service too. Beautiful restaurant and the atmosphere is not just for a romantic dinner but also great for a family get together. 9.2/10 MUST TRY!

What an awesome place! This Mondos has some of the best service in town. It was incredible!!! Their food didn't disappoint too. Spaghetti was awesome. Also, they had great appetizers. Our garlic bread and cheese sticks tasted so incredibly good. Another thing to note is the inside was super clean. Bathrooms were also very clean too. And, this place had a great ambiance to it. Great place and I highly recommend coming to it.

We've lived in the area for over a year and we've never been to this place. Holy cow, what great food and service. My wife had spaghetti and meatballs with bolognese sauce and she said it was excellent. The portion size was huge and she took half of it home. I had the lasagna with bolognese sauce and the portion was almost twice the size of other Italian restaurants. It was one of the best lasagna dishes I've ever had. The dish also came with soup or salad and delicious garlic bread. We both had the clam chowder which was excellent. A great consistency and plentiful clam pieces. One of my favorites. We only eat Italian every 4-5 months, but this is our new go-to spot. The prices were more than reasonable and I left over full.

Brought my fiance and our families to try Mondo's and they absolutely loved it. I've been a few times already so I'm still getting new things on the menu of course but I had to get them here. The wait was crazy because it was a busy night so that's a positive thing to know it's desired, aside of getting hangry during the wait. When we sat down the service was fast yet patient and orders were very timely. Ambiance was fantastic. I love when Italian restaurants feel as close to an authentic experience as possible.

Had to run an errand to Brookside today with The Kid, and she wanted Mondo's for lunch. She had the spaghetti and meatball with house salad and I went for the lunch tagliatelli and bolognese sauce with a caesar salad. Service was impeccable, as always. I tried a bite of her plate and it was very good all around. The meatball could've used a tad more salt, but that's just my palate. Sauce was out of this world and the noodles cooked just right. It must've been good because she was cleaning up the plate with the last slices of bread. The tagliatelle was also really good. As with the spaghetti, it benefitted from a little more salt, but again, that's just me. Noodles were fresh made and cooked to the right doneness, and the bolognese was well executed. I was a little surprised at how light the bolognese was compared to others I've had. It wasn't overly rich and heavy, and left a really pleasant taste. The caesar salad was probably the best side caesar I've had in a long long time. Not one thing off about it at all. Overall, as good as it all was, it's amusingly just another trip to Mondo's, because they knock it out of the park each and every time.

I need to start this review by discussing the reservation process... I'm from out of town and wanted to take my Italian grandpa here to try it. So I called a week out on a Friday early evening, and kept getting a busy line and then an answer and hang up. When I finally got through to a person, it was a rude guy who said they were too busy to take reservations and to call back in the afternoon. I called back the next day around 3pm and again some rude man tried to say they were too busy to take reservations... I explained that yesterday I got the same message... he then reluctantly made the reservation... quite annoying considering you can't make a reservation on open table or the website. However, fast forward to tonight.. This place was very busy, even for a Thursday. You need a reservation. Good luck getting one. Of course the food was very good. The service once inside was great, we had a reservation for 6 and at first we were sat at a small half circle booth and it was a tight squeeze so they made some arrangements and got us a bigger table. Unfortunately the rosé was one of the worst I have ever had. My cosmo wasn't the best, but the limoncello shots and the Italian margarita were both excellent. Best entree was the seafood by the sea pasta. Very fresh. The tiramisu was very good as well well.

Our family traveled to Oklahoma for the holidays, and on the day after Christmas, we decided to dine at Mondo's in Tulsa. We ordered two appetizers and four dinners, expecting a pleasant holiday meal. However, the experience quickly turned into a health and safety nightmare. When our server, Sandy, brought out the small plates for our appetizers, we were horrified to find roaches running everywhere across them. We had to quickly stack the plates just to contain the insects. When we showed the situation to Sandy, we were met with justifications rather than an appropriate apology or immediate corrective action. The entire situation was gross, awkward, and completely unacceptable. No customer should ever be served roaches alongside their meal, and certainly no one should be expected to pay a bill after such a disgusting experience. We will not be returning.

Family owned and operated this Tulsa staple is one that you need to plan ahead for because there will almost always be a wait. They offer reservations, so you may want to take advantage of those, especially if you have a bigger party. The food here is one of the few truly authentic Italian restaurants in Tulsa, with sauces that are perfectly balanced mixes of sweet and sour. If you leave here hungry, it's your own fault. Their meals are all inclusive and huge so bring an appetite. For the seafood lovers out there, they have several options that will not disappoint. If you're wanting something a little faster and more causal, they do offer pizzas on both levels, but that's all they serve on their second floor.

We celebrated a business dinner at Mondo's and overall I think everyone enjoyed the dinner, drinks & celebration. I had several pics of dishes of those that sat next to me and for the most part they all enjoyed. I didn't get pics of all the appetizers but they were really good! The Calamari once the lemon was squeezed on them were excellent. The Shrimp-Cargot was a pleasant surprise and would definitely order that one again. The Fried Ravioli was okay, again not to my liking. I chose the Seafood Alfredo - definitely not my favorite dish. The shrimp & scallops were cooked perfectly but the Alfredo Sauce I would definitely skip, it just wasn't for me. It seemed as if there was a hint of nutmeg in their sauce or what ever it was I disliked. I did not enjoy the bread with dinner or appetizers it was just too plain and didn't seem authentic. I think the best dish of the night was the Abruzzi by the Sea! If you're a seafood lover then this dish is for you. I've had this before and it really is fantastic. Another told me the Chicken Piccata was spot on! Someone else ordered the Manicotti dish but it seemed to be lost in the sauce. No one complained about the dessert and I think our group tried every one of them. The Tiramisu appeared to be the biggest winner! However, I chose the Limoncello and it was fantastic, light & lemony it was the perfect ending to the meal! Obviously we had several servers attending to our group and they did an excellent job. Of course with a large group the noise level was loud but it was a good time to celebrate with colleagues and business associates!

Lots of people say this place has gone downhill since moving into the new, larger building. I haven't noticed a difference in food quality or quantity. The food seems to have stayed the same, and the pricing seems consistent, maybe with a slight insignificant increase recently. However, the service may not be what it once was, especially upstairs in the bar area. Lots of inexperience and servers in training, and it has taken longer to get food and drinks than it used to. But the food is still great, and I'll keep going back. The garlic bread is probably my favorite table bread in the city.

Lunch on a busy Monday. It was our first time at the "new"' location, and it definitely feels less crammed there, while retaining the charm Of the previous location. Even with a rapidly filling up restaurant, the noise level was low and it was easy to maintain a conversation. The food was pretty good. I didn't necessarily love my Caesar salad with lemon, but it was fresh. The garlic bread was warm and soft and crunchy, and delicious. My husband really loved his dish and the ripe sausage was indeed a bit spicy! He particularly enjoyed the meatball as well. We both had chicken in our dishes, and while he loved his, I thought mine was a bit dry, The pomodoro otherwise was delicious. The tomatoes and the garlic blended well with the linguine, and it felt like a fresh bite. Our waitress was friendly, service overall was pretty slow. Even waiting for the check took longer than I expected. But we definitely will give this place another try.

Mondo's is always a treat. They have such great ambiance. Our waitress was lovely and super helpful. We ordered a bottle of wine that was delicious. She told me that I could order the ravioli and have the garlic pesto cream sauce put on top of it as opposed to just meat sauce so that is what I got. The sauce was good but I was kind of disappointed with the ravioli. I've gotten these many times but these were just thick and kind of doughy and undercooked. I ate two out of three and brought the other one home but I probably won't finish it. I should probably have stuck with my regular tortellini al Forno but I thought I would switch it up. That's what I get! LOL

Visiting from Southern California. What I LOVED about Mondo's was that I felt the great hospitality from the moment I walked in the door. We were greeted with huge smiles and seated immediately. Our server was Nichole. She was personable, knowledgeable about the menu and very accommodating. I ordered the Eggplant parmesan. It came with soup or salad and spaghetti (with a choice of meat sauce or marinara). It also comes with all the garlic bread we could eat. I loved that there were suggested wine parings for most dishes. The clam chowder that came with my meal was simply amazing! It had a hint of nutmeg and was PACKED with clams. Two of us ordered LITs (Long Island Ice Teas). The food was delicious and the portions were HUGE. The cocktails were severely lacking in, well, alcohol. They tasted kinda like watered-down lemonade. That's the only reason for a star being taken away. We were part of the early dinner crowd. I loved the family friendliness of this place and it was obviously packed for a reason. The inside was dimly lit. But that added to the cozy feel of this well established restaurant. I do recommend Mondo's for dinner. But I think I would avoid ordering cocktails and just pick something from their wine list.

We walked in around 7:00 on a Thursday and had no issues getting a seat. I was initially a little sad that we got one of the two tops but we were right by the wine display, so it was a nice setting. Server was great. Kept glasses filled and bread basket full. (I love the bread.) We ordered Caesars, the manicotti with meat sauce and the penne alla vodka with pancetta and mushrooms. I loved that combo. We were stuffed (blame the bread basket) so we ordered Cannoli to go. There were great when we got home.

We took our friend to Mondo's for her birthday. The atmosphere is very fun and clean. Our waitress was very friendly, engaging attentive and helpful. Three of us had the eggplant parmigiana, one had it regular while two others had spaghetti with Alfredo on the side. They said the Alfredo was a bit lacking in flavor this time compared to our last visit: I had the garden pizza with jalapeños instead of green peppers, and our other friend had chicken Marsala pasta. We all enjoyed the complimentary garlic bread. Everyone enjoyed their dinner or salad or minestrone soup. They brought out a bowl of free Spumoni ice cream for the birthday. We had a great time and great meal.

As much as we like Mondo's, today's visit was disappointing. We ordered a cheese & pepperoni pizza and a side salad. Toasted bread was brought to the table followed shortly by the salad. The bread was the only part of the meal that was good. The salad was so disappointing. It was not cold and it had a lot of brown and wilted greens. It should have never left the kitchen. The pizza was undercooked. The cheese was barely melted and the crust was more doughy than crusty. Not a pleasant meal at all. Our server was friendly and courteous.

I travel to Tulsa quite often, and one of my joys is to locate a restaurant that I've never been to and try them out. I had high expectations with Mondo's as the reviews seemed pretty legit. I had the veal parmesan and I was not disappointed. It was the best I have ever had. The only downfall was through most of my meal, a busboy was standing over my shoulder.

Well there's a reason this Italian place is ranked so high in all the magazines and newspapers... because it's simply the very best , yes better, than every other Italian restaurant in the state and it makes me remember my NYC Trips to Little Italy... Homemade Pasta and sauces, best chicken dishes, amazing clam chowder and ceasar salad... epic desserts! I promise you won't leave without a smile on your faces!

The food is great and nothing like those chain restaurants. The prices are a little high, but the servings are more than adequate. I was excited to try the new location but was a little underwhelmed. It feels a little cramped, but I did enjoy being able to see all of the family photos and history while waiting. Unfortunately, the service wasn't the best. Our waitress acted putout to serve us and it took a while to get our food. We went on a Saturday afternoon, so it wasn't busy. Considering the prices and the service, we might return once a year or so for a special occasion since the food was good, but that's probably it.

The pastas are absolutely incredible. Half Alfredo half red sauce is seriously the best thing ever. Service was a little slow, but the bar tender was friendly and drinks were tasty!

Tonite: server condescending to our adult granddaughter for her trying to find a dish similar to one that she likes from another restaurant. My husband prefers angel hair pasta and when he asked if they have it, she informed him that angel hair is not Italian; "All of their recipes came over on the ship". I've been going to Mondo's since the 70's and they have never been bougie until tonite. Food: Bolognese-I like the flavor but it never gets to the table hot. Ravioli are good but best with red or 1/2 Alfredo sauce. Spaghetti and meatballs are nothing special as is the fettuccine Alfredo. All dishes could have used more sauce as they were on the dry side.

You know I went here kicking and screaming as I was told. This was just a generic run of the mill one step above an Olive Garden Italian restaurant.., boy was I wrong. I've been here four times in the last three months and every time the meal has been fantastic authentic by the book traditional Italian rustic cooking, the pasta, the meatballs the lasagna... everything is just killer. The portions are huge. You're going home with lunch for the next day and you will be truly satisfied. They do a great job, the service is amazing and the food is just wonderful authentic Italian food ...can't say enough good things about Mondo's.

There is a small parking lot around the restaurant, some street parking and another parking lot behind the restaurant. We walked in around 6pm mid week and got a table right away. The restaurant was pretty busy with people coming in to get tables. We were seated close to the bar, which was kind of nice because it was quieter back there and had only 3-5 tables. Our server took our order and checked in sporadically. The garlic bread was brought out with our salads. I liked the Caesar salad, the dressing was light but good. While gluten free pasta isn't noted on the menu, there is a gluten free pasta option. I got it with the 3 meat platter. The spicy sausage was good and I did like the meatball, I wasn't a big fan of the chicken. The spaghetti sauce was okay but honestly I had left overs today and I enjoyed my meal more today than I did at the restaurant last night.

I have been wanting to try this place for quite some time! We were basic starting off with calamari - it was the best I've ever had. Then I ordered the manicotti with a house salad. I had enough left over for lunch the next day. The sauce is homemade and I am craving it right now as I am typing this ..the hubbs ordered lasagna and it was amazing he said and of course my son ordered a pepperoni pizza and it was huge for a kids pizza. We will be coming back

Brought my hubby out for an early dinner at Mondo's. We hadn't been in some years and weren't aware they had moved...after going around and passing it twice we happily found the parking lot. We were seated quickly near the door after entering...my hubby has health problems and uses a cane to walk so I was very appreciative the young man that greeted us noticed immediately. The atmosphere is still so warm and welcoming inside...I love the lighting at our table giving us a nice intimate feel as we enjoyed each other's company. Further back is the bar which we could see from our table as well as the beautiful view of family photos, artifacts, wine and spirits along the walls. There was even black and white movie footage across from us of Laurel and Hardy playing while we ate. Our server was the sweetest and kindest young lady named Danielle. She checked on us often...promptly brought us every thing we asked for, and did it all wearing a cast!!! I was so impressed with Miss Danielle that I forgot to take photos of our dinners. We started with yummy cheesy Spinach and Artichoke Dip...Mmm!! My hubby ordered the Minestrone for a starter. He'd never had it before and he loved it!! His main meal was the Seafood Alfredo which looked and tasted amazing...the scallops and shrimp were sooo yummy. I ordered Clam Chowder and a Side Salad. The Clam Chowder was so good my hubby had to have some too. I enjoyed the Pasta Pomodoro with Blackened Chicken...Yes I will have this again!! So simple yet so tasty!!! I was glad I chose to take my hubby to this Italian treasure of a Ristorante...we missed coming to Mondo's and will definitely be back again! Hopefully we'll be able to say hello to Miss Danielle and thank her again for her kindness!!

Mondo's a family owned and operated Italian restaurant since 1969 and has became one of the local favorites of Tulsa through the years. It's actually quite a nice place in Brookside. Parking is a little strange, as there are 2 fragmented parking lots, not connected to each other. The parking on the side is always full so you have to park at the other parking lot. There's an electrical tower separating the two parking lots. Lunch specials are fairly affordable and I prefer going here for lunch rather than dinner. Less entrees to choose from though but I don't mind as it is much cheaper. Service is great with great recommendations. I wanted a quick eat as I have to return to work. Got the manicotti with meat sauce which I've never had before. As you could tell by now, Italian is not something I eat very often. The food came out immediately, and on this particularly weekday, about the same speed as a fast food chain. I am not exaggerating and I have no idea how they're doing it. The dish is tasty and with the price, even better. Thank goodness for the marinara meat sauce, otherwise the cheese can be overwhelming. Each lunch entree comes with garlic bread and a salad. Salad is great, an instant favorite for me. Garlic bread is good as well. I haven't been to too many Italian restaurants in Tulsa but Mondo's is so far my favorite. I have to come back for dinner sometimes. Also, the staffs actually make small talks with you which I don't often see.

My boyfriend and I both got the minestrone and we were Both given what tasted and looked like watered down marinara with one piece of cauliflower and a carrot which both very obviously came out of a bag of frozen mixed veggies. His was the exact same way, just marinara sauce with a couple vegetables. Absolutely no love in that soup, we were very disappointed. It was especially upsetting for me because soup is my favorite food and I could've been okay with it if the broth had at least tasted good but no, just marinara.

We came in for my daughters birthday and it was her choice because she loves Mondo's! My wife and daughter are vegetarian so they were able to find some delicious options on the menu. I had the mushroom fettuccine Alfredo and it was delicious. We love this place my only complaint is the stairs we walk up and down being the same stairs they bring the food up to serve. Maybe a better design someday but other than that the food and atmosphere are lovely. I figured out the owner is from Ohio and I'm from Ohio so I now see why their Italian food tastes so good. If he wasn't a Browns fan everything would be even better

#ThankYouThursday Thanks Mondo's for being a great spot to get some comforting Italian food! Went on a weekend for dinner, so it was a high volume time, and so a little loud inside, but we were able to be seated right away which was great. I like the overall ambiance. The low lighting and glass window details make it feel special. Our waitress was also extremely friendly, as in it really felt like we were talking to a friend! She was super cool. And the food? So good!!! The garlic cheese bread was so flavorful, and great for sharing. It came with their awesome red sauce, which is always a plus! For my meal I got the chicken parmesan.... It's hard to pass up when I see it on the menu! First of all, MASSIVE portion, which always makes me extremely happy. Yay leftovers! And the taste didn't disappoint either. Cheesy, tangy, tender & juicy, well-spiced, and pasta-y... what more could you want? I only wish they offered complimentary bread with olive oil and herb dip.

I went out to eat at Mondo's on Friday night. Had a really great time. Service was great however, I did overhear a Manager threatening to break one of his workers. I don't know if this is normal for their workplace, but it was definitely very disturbing to overhear. There should never be a situation where a manager is threatening harm onto their employee.

Mondo's is hands down some of the best Italian we have ever had! The fried ravioli was delicious! The shrimp limone was one of the best meals I have ever had! Our server was wonderful gave us recommendations on what meals to try. If ever back in Tulsa, we will make it back to eat here!

We arrived on a Friday evening. There was an ungodly long wait and an unbending and unpleasant process of managing both parking and table assignments. We ordered an appetizer of cheese bread and were pleased with taste My wife was given the wrong dish. My manicotti was drowned in sauce. I got a side of meatballs and found tender and mildly flavored. I tried one small piece of my wife's rope sausage and had to drain my water glass because of the spice level. I ordered a NY cheesecake and was pleased by the flavors of both the cheesecake and the cherries. Neither too sweet or too tart the cherries were cooked in and in a mildly sweet sauce that cheesecake aesthetic perfectly.

Staring from parking which was a really bad with two kids. As soon as we walked in we felt very uncomfortable with the way we were being treated. We were seated upstairs and waited for a while for service. When the order was finally taken it almost felt like we were being rushed and he didn't want to give us the take or day. After the food came not a single check in about if we needed anything or if the food was ok. The only time he came back was with our Togo boxes and the check. We had to ask for more boxes it felt like we were not welcomed at the place at all felt a bit racist. Won't be spending a dime in that place ever again. Food was not the best tasting either. Pizza crust was burnt tasted bitter. Pasta had no salt and the soup no way that was soup. The best thing was the bread.

I've been searching for an authentic and incredible Italian restaurant in Tulsa, and this is it! I loved the ambiance with the old photos on the walls and even black and white films being projected onto the walls. The menu was filled with great options, and the food came out very quick and hot. I loved my spaghetti and meatballs with a side of Caesar salad, and the portions were very generous! I'll definitely be going back!
