Mondo's Ristorante Italian

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!

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.

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!

Only been going over 35 years! Love the beautiful new building ( no more moving locations!) and really appreciate the free parking! Best salad in town! Best Italian garlic bread! Best Manicotti meat sauce in USA Family owned 40 years! They are always there watching to insure they're up to their reputation . Very nice private room for 30 people or rent the upstairs bar for a fabulous party location! The flavors make this our #1 favorite! Call and get reservations!

Spent a week in Tulsa working with the amazing school nurse at Collinsville High School, Brandi Glasscock who wanted to share an authentic meal that was unique to this area. We ordered the salmon piccata and the lemon drop cocktail. This was one of the best meals that I've ever had! I chose the Caesar salad as my side which was simple but a large portion and well dressed. The portions are huge! There's warm Italian bread and that cocktail was straight from heaven! Our server was attentive and friendly. My only complaint would be the seating for two are these tiny wobbly tables but it's a small thing compared to the experience! It was so good I ordered it again before I left! Do yourself a favor and visit this restaurant if you're ever in the area!

Just moved here from out state and tried this restaurant for the first time… this was the best Italian I’ve ever had! Brought family visiting and they absolutely loved it as well. Amazing service from Chris, great portions and really nice atmosphere! We will definitely be back!

The absolute best Italian in Tulsa. So many great Italian dish options to choose from and meals big enough for leftovers. The dessert was also even more delicious with one of the best tiramisu I’ve ever eaten. Staff was friendly and very attentive. I do recommend reservations as this is a popular place and can usually be very busy.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Food was great. Service was great. Ambience was great. Zero complaints. I would definitely go back!

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.

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.

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.

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

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

The food is excellent with a wide variety of menu items. The service was wonderful our server was attentive and knowledgeable. I love the new location right in the heart of Brookside

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.

Food was great. One thing, the chicken Alfredo is AMAZING. The salad was not my favorite, but other people liked theirs. The chicken Alfredo is creamy and smooth. Very cheesy. Service could've been better. But a very nice and quiet restaurant.

Food: exceptional, service: great, ambience: excellent! We've never had anything but a first rate experience here! It feels like an authentic Italian Restaurant you'd in Italy, New York or Chicago!

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.

Food was great! Italian sausage does have some spice to it but it's amazing if you like spicy! Portions are great for the price our meal was only $57 and that also includes a soup or salad with our entrees highly recommend this place! Pasta was cooked perfectly

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.

Service was good, but the food was subpar. The sauce did not have much flavor. The atmosphere was really nice.

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!!

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!

Minestrone soup here is not minestrone. It's just a vegetable soup. Kind of disappointing. Other than that everything was yummy!!

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.

First time I've eaten at Mando's. I was pleasantly surprised. The prices were great! The food was absolutely awesome!

Stopped by for some lunch today. We were greeted at the door and sat at the bar immediately. We both had the barrel aged margarita which were delicious. We both ordered sandwiches, me the historic Hero and the wife a chicken parm. Both were seriously good. I highly recommend Mondo's for a great lunch or a casual dinner.

I love the chicken piccata!! It is my absolute favorite go-to. I always order for pick up the service is fast and I never have to wait for my food for more than 2 minutes. They also have the best garlic bread yummy and mouth watering!!

Service was good, food was mid. Step above Olive Garden which is disappointing, the decor made it seem like you were about to eat some authentic Italian. Mozzarella sticks were good. Got the chicken parmigiana, sauce was watery and lacked flavor or spice and the Chicken was dry .

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.

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

Just wanted to post an update about all of the deliciousness!!! The Bolognese was amazing!!! The Shrimp Limone was everything I wanted it to be! No one really uses artichoke hearts to cook with anymore and I love them!!

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!

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.

Knocks the pants off Olive Garden. If you are looking for some pretty good food with a nice atmosphere, maybe a date night, this might be the place. Several great menu options and fantastic service all around. We had a private party of 25 in the grotto, I would say that is the max amount of people you want to squeeze in that room. They do have parking in the back.

Zio's for millennials. . . standard American interp of Italian food served big, rich and salty.

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!

I came with my girlfriends for a Friday night out. First, I like the location, it's a very cute restaurant, however, parking is terrible. Our waiter was very unprofessional. He took our orders then someone brought out our salads and appetizers. I never got mine. They realized they brought it to the wrong table. The waiter got mad and said to a coworker, "those girls took someone else's salads", like it was our fault. They came back and told us there was a mix up and I got my salad, which was the worst Caesar salad I've ever had. The waiter came back and apologized to my girlfriend while I and another friend were in the bathroom. The food was okay. It was a very disappointing experience and I would not recommend.

We love Mondos!! Food and service always great! Best spaghetti and meatballs in town!

We came here for a birthday dinner with 8 family and friends. Mondo's has been a staple for us throughout the years. We were put into a small room with a young kids birthday party and could barely hear each other speaking. I went to the host stand to ask to kindly be seated elsewhere so we could hear each other during our celebration. The hostess stand could not have been more rude telling us "you realize you're in a restaurant?" Just thought a good night out was something to value from a customer service perspective. Food has suffered as they have grown but I'm pretty disappointed in the staffs approach to this

My wife, son, and mother-in-law love this place. Personally, I have had a five star and two star experience here. I don't like that level of variability, but everyone I know has had a great experience there. I, literally, am the only person I know that has had a bad experience at this location, and the experience that I had that was good was excellent. In spite of my experience, the preponderance of experience of everyone that I know suggests that it is at least four stars. The clam chowder was consistently amazing. Once the lasagna was really good, once it was 2 starred at best. As far as ambiance goes, I would give it 4 stars for that and say that it was an above-average venue for a nice date night.

This was our first trip to Mondo's, we were excited to try it because we've heard such great things. We went on Friday night without reservations so we expected a wait. We checked in and were told the wait time and that we should come back in that time, which I found a little odd. I checked the bar downstairs but it was full; a nice server mentioned they had another bar upstairs so we checked it out and were seated right away. There were 3 bartenders servicing the entire upstairs so the service was so-so. We ordered the calamari appetizer, it was well seasoned and cooked well. We ordered our entrees and soups. The clam chowder was good but thick and not as seafood forward as you would expect. My husband enjoyed the minestrone. The linguini in the Abruzzo by the Sea was cooked perfectly but there was a lot of it. The tortellini was overly tender and the sauce was extremely thick, but it tasted good. We finished it with the limoncello cake which was delicious but a small serving for the price. The upstairs had a nice vibe with a good bar top, the downstairs seemed fairly cramped. All in all, it was good and we'd go back but it's not something we'd crave.

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.

When I tell you I haven't been to Olive Garden ever since I tasted Mondo's I mean it! Not only do they have bread and butter but they offer a house or Cesar salad We had the Hot Asiago spinach artichoke dip as an appetizer and it was 10/10! So cheesy and perfect amount of veggies with great crunchy toasted Italian crostinis also the bowl they bring it out in? So cute and so deep definitely worth every penny My boyfriend ordered the Fettuccine carbonara Mondo's style and he loved it , he's a big fan of mushrooms and Alfredo pasta so it was a big hit for him also the Italian spiced Capocollo ham was delicious 10/10 I ordered the creamy pesto pasta and it is amazing I love how fresh it tastes and the creamy sauce is always a win in my book 10/10 We also went another time got the same exact stuff except my boyfriend this time ordered the Pasta pomodoro and he said it was great, but he did say he enjoyed the Fettuccine carbonara Mondo's style more although he was trying something different for the experience and it was still very delightful 7.8/10 Overall service is nice food comes out at a reasonable time and the place is so nice, we've been multiple times and sat at complete different tables and somehow it always seems like a new experience based on where we sit. I definitely suggest you give it a try if you're a Italian lover looking for better alternatives to basic Olive Garden

It was incredible, the food was absolutely amazing and we had great service. Just had to wait an hour because we didn't make a reservation.
