Mandola's Italian Kitchen

We have been to Mandolas at least three times. The first time I ordered the eggplant sandwich but the eggplant was not well done. They gave me a free meal for it. The next time the eggplant was excellent. The last time, yesterday, I ordered spaghetti, gluten-free, well done. It was not well done so I returned it and they offered chicken with vegetables. The chicken was tasty but dry and tough. When I told one manager, he disappeared. The other manager was kind enough to give us our entire meals for free, however I only wanted consideration for my meal, not for my husband's meal. He was happy with his. The place is always full during lunch and dinner so I'm sure a lot of people are happy with their food. Being gluten free, it's more challenging for me to get a good meal.

Although the atmosphere was cute and Italianesque, the food was good, until they gave me regular pasta, instead of the clearly requested pasta. The manager came and seemed to disregard the potential worry one may have for an allergic reaction. There was a mix up somewhere between the person I ordered from and the people who made it, and it was given to me full of gluten. The food tasted good, except for the gluten free pasta- which was overcooked and gummy. I don’t recommend this place at all for those with allergies.

Been here multiple times because of the gluten free options. The hero and the salad are fantastic. My kids love the ice cream. Highly recommend
