Different. We were greeted by the manager who quickly explained after we informed him that this was our first time to visit, of how to order and what the specialties of the day were.
The food was really good and it came out quickly, but you do have to get your own drinks and condiments. Overall, we enjoyed our meal.
There is a separate gelato shop, but it’s a bit on the pricey side but in fairness, good gelato is probably worth it.

I really wish I would have taken a picture of the inside the restaurant & my entrée. The problem was being hangry! I ate it all before a picture was a thought!
It is a homey atmosphere with homemade amazing food. Normally I have a problem with pasta, however because they make their pasta in house with no preservatives I had no reaction eating here!
We chose the lunch portion of our entrees and it was plenty to eat! The Focaccia bread served at the table upon seating is so good as well as the minestrone soup! Both so good, you must try! The pasta was cooked perfectly, I can't say anything but Yummy regarding the salmon!
Although we didn't try the espresso bar, the gelato, or desserts, it all looked and smelled phenomenal!
UPDATE: Had to visit again for the Margherita Pizza (my fav). When you think of mozzarella, basil, and tomato sauce, "Margherita" is the quintessential representation. This place does it phenomenal 👏well. Maybe the best I've tasted! The fresh mozzarella made in house daily is the chef's kiss.
I remembered to get pictures this time! You won't be disappointed!!

Light cheery atmosphere, very open interior design and an open kitchen. You order at the back near the kitchen then sit down with an order number post. Free bread when you order, Very friendly staff and everyone working looks like they love their job. The food is very quickly out of the kitchen and to the costumer.

Mandola's Kitchen has become our favorite family dining spot! As a family of seven, we often struggle to find restaurants that can accommodate us, but Mandola's makes it easy with their spacious tables reserved for larger groups. The welcoming atmosphere truly makes us feel like part of their family every time we walk in.
The food is phenomenal—especially the chicken marsala and chicken Alfredo, which are consistently delicious. Even my kids devoured the pizza crust, which speaks volumes!
One feature that stands out is their changing table stocked with diapers for moms, which is a thoughtful touch that shows they really care about families. We can't recommend Mandola's Kitchen enough for anyone looking for great food in a family-friendly environment!

I had dinner 3 times but I waited until today to give my review. The food is amazing, not only the quality but the presentation of the plates. The service is outstanding. By far the best trattoria I've dined in.
It's been years since I had cannellonis, and these ones are just as good as my mom's.
Cannellonis and lasagna by far the best!!
