Mandola’s Italian Deli was the perfect lunch date spot with my love. Every bite was delicious, savory, and honestly tasted like it was homemade and made with love. The kind of food that feels comforting but still special. Cozy vibes, incredible flavors, and the perfect place to slow down and enjoy good food with your person. We’ll definitely be back. ✨

Don’t let the area or older building deter you from coming here. They are part of the Carrabas/Mandola Dynasty. if you have ever been to their restaurants you know what I’m talking about. Everything is made from scratch and also served piping hot when it comes to your table, no matter the time. The lunch rush is madness with the lunch crowd from UH/ TSU , but orders taken are fast and the wait was not long at all. They definitely have their system down. Food is also available for catering or for when you don’t feel like cooking with family size portions. There is so much history here , both in the family line as well as the city. They truly are a hidden gem. Parking lot (2there are 2, one in front, 2nd in back) is free but fills up quickly, groups should carpool if possible.

A well known Italian restaurant in the neighborhood, although this was my first time eating here.
The food was so good. He had the spaghetti with meatballs and I had the chicken parmesan. It was perfect. Highly recommend.

Love the Pasta Brocato here. It’s made with penne pasta, grilled shrimp, & pesto-alfredo sauce. Taste is always amazing!
Service and atmosphere: 10/10
Use to come here all the time before Covid. Lowkey forgot about them till a friend mentioned their pasta. Went back after a few years and their quality, taste, and presentation of food was still as outstanding as I remembered. Possibly even better. What makes the experience even better is the hospitality, customer service, authenticity, is also still top tier.
It’s a family owned business and you can feel the love they put into their restaurant and food, and the HTX and Coog Spirit goes strong here. Their whole back wall is decorated with UH memorabilia, and they also have family/staff photos all throughout the establishment. Very homey and friendly staff and welcoming environment.
Overall highly recommend!

The service went above and beyond to make sure that I had any questions about the menu explained to me, bc I mentioned it was my first time. Then I ordered a dinner item for lunch which they accommodate, and ordered food to go which I asked to be ready in 20 mins and it was. I had the Chicken Parmesan with Spaghetti and it was perfect, no notes. The meal was very filling and the garlic bread helped soak up all the sauce leftover. Highly recommend

What’s not to say about mandolas deli. An absolutely amazing place with super friendly staff. We travelled from Ireland and just had to try the food. Needless to say it did not disappoint. I got the chicken parm po boy and meatball appetiser. The food was out of this world and the atmosphere was absolutely amazing. If you get to meet James while you’re there he makes a mean latte.

I have been wanting to go for a long time but I dont live close. So glad I went. Old school family run Italian restaurant/deli. Mr Mandola was so gracious and friendly I would go back even if the Food was not great. But the food was GREAT!!! Get the lasagna for sure. I also had a wonderful sausage poorboy. Delicious. I also got the desert called Chocolate Delight. So good.
Next time I am getting two lasagnas and I am definitely going to try the pizza. Also if you are a Houston Cougar fan this place is your fan club go-to.
I went back. The sausage pizza was excellent-a lot smaller than I imagined for the price but it was so, so delicious. Italian beef with cheese was excellent. Lasagnas were ginormous and so tasty. Tried the Italian cream cake and I thought it needed more frosting. The chocolate delight is the dessert to get if you are only getting one.

Visited Mandola’s Deli on a Saturday at 1:30pm. It’s an old school family owned and operated spot with vintage charm; wood paneling and memorabilia on the walls. I thought I would’ve beaten the lunch crowd but ended up waiting in line for 40 minutes to order and receive my food.
The large Deluxe Po-Boy was tasty and filling and the chocolate chip cookies were soft and delicious!
I appreciate that the owner was working front and center at the register, providing great personable service, but he seemed stretched quite thin which slowed the line down. (Only person entering orders in the one register they have, but also attending to multiple things behind the counter.) I will definitely be back but during off peak hours, or phone in my order ahead of time.

A classic deli for old school sandwiches with an Italian twist. How have I not been here before? It’s absolute perfection!! The meatballs and garlic bread are the best in the City. I can’t wait to try everything on the menu.
