Mambo Italiano

Had a fantastic meal here, and the server was very knowledgeable about cross contact. They have a separate dedicated fryer and pasta boiler for gf pasta. I had calamari fried in the gf fryer, and my parents (not gf) agreed it was some of the best they’d ever had. The chicken Marsala was huge and super tasty, although a tad rich.

I have eaten here several times. Always stuck to salads and items cooked in the dedicated fryer and never got sick, but who wants to eat salad all the time? Recently ordered GF pasta and was told they'd absolutely use dedicated, clean water for cooking. Got halfway through my OK dish and discovered a wayward spaghetti noodle (NOT GF). Got sick two hours later and spent the next 24 hours in the bathroom.

Menu was marked and gluten free pasta could be substituted in. Most of the sauces are gluten free as well. One of the better Italian places I’ve eaten at!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

So disappointed. Dropped $150 for supper with our family and our 11-yr-old daughter (Celiac) had a bowl of terrible rice pasta. We were told they make "everything to order" but item after item we were told they couldn't make GF. Neither the hostess nor the server was even remotely kind to our daughter as she tried to find something to eat, and she ultimately ended up in tears because she felt so defeated. What a disappointed. And for the record, the food for the rest of us wasn't very good, either.

Celiac friendly?

No

Great experience. Waiter very knowledgeable about cross contamination. Had the gf calamari appetizer, fried in dedicated fryer. Ordered mixed green salad with shrimp for main course. Very filing and nice big shrimp on salad. Would definitely come back again.

our waitress Karen was phenomenal. She comes from a family of celiac disease and was very knowledgeable. there are so many gf options and the fried calamari was outstanding!

We had a great meal here. The waitress was knowledgeable about what a celiac could and couldn't eat, and there were lots of gluten free choices. They have a dedicated gluten free fryer for certain items, so my daughter was able to have fried calamari for the first time. She also had gluten free pasta with grilled chicken. The rest of the family isn't gluten free and our food was delicious too. One of the best meals we have had in a while.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We had a wonderful meal here. I always enjoy being able to order Italian food. My favorite part was the beet ricotta appetizer we ordered.

Very good! A lot of GF options. My son had GF Alfredo. He could have had other pastas and pizza. GF Items clearly marked. We loved the Brussel Sprouts!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

All pasta dishes are available GF plus a number of appetizers and other entrees. Great food and service! We've had several different waiters and they are all knowledgable on GF.
