Service was ok could’ve been more attentive since only one other table had patrons. We waited very long in between server visits. They never asked if we wanted any drinks!! Not once! Food was average at best. The salads are very good though. Pricing was also good for this quality of food. It is comfortable and cozy for sure. Dessert was a disaster! Molded with green on the inside of the cannoli and weird tasting tiramisu & crem brûlée. The restroom needs a deep cleaning. Trash was overflowing and faucet & floor was filthy. We’ve been here twice and I’d say based on extremely slow service & just ok food both times, we just can not recommend it. Spend your money elsewhere. It was very disappointing because we really wanted to love this place. Would’ve liked to make it our go to with family and friends.

Mambo Italian Street Food has become one of our go-to spots in the Sandy Springs / Smyrna area. My wife, in-laws, and I have been coming here for about a year and a half, and every visit has been consistently great. The ambience is warm and relaxed, and the food is always delicious—especially the pastas, pizzas, calzones, and their hearty lasagna. Portions are generous, prices are very reasonable, and the drinks are strong in the best way. It’s a solid place for a casual dinner with family, and we’ll definitely keep coming back.

What keeps us returning is how consistent everything is—the food always comes out hot, flavorful, and well-seasoned, and you can tell they really care about what they’re serving. The lasagna is rich and comforting, the pizzas have great texture and toppings, and the pasta dishes are super satisfying without feeling overpriced. The staff has always been friendly and attentive, whether we’ve come in as a small group or with family.

Overall, it’s one of those places that feels reliable and welcoming every time you go. If you’re in the area and craving Italian comfort food with good vibes and solid drinks, Mambo Italian Street Food is definitely worth a visit.

I have visited Mambo Italian Street Food several times because I truly love the place and the food. The atmosphere is nice, the dishes taste great, and that’s why I will continue coming back and recommending it.

That said, I believe there is room for improvement in customer service. Out of the three times I’ve been there, on two occasions the appetizer was served after the main course, when it should be the other way around. In addition, the attitude of one of the servers was not very pleasant; at one point, she spoke rudely to a friend of mine and even told him to be quiet, which I did not like.

It is an excellent restaurant with great potential, but improving staff training and service would make the overall experience match the quality of the food.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Ecstatic!

I am beyond impressed with my delivery experience from Mambo Italian Street Food! Everything from the speed (only 30 minutes!) to the quality and temperature of the food was exceptional — as if I were dining in the restaurant itself.

We ordered a variety of items, and every single one was fresh, flavorful, and piping hot:
• Fritto Misto
• Fried Ravioli
• Penne alla Vodka
• Focaccia (house-made!)
• Pistachio Kale Caesar Salad
• Neapolitan Flatbread Sandwich with prosciutto, arugula, and tomatoes (the tomatoes were so fresh and sweet!)
• Parmesan French Fries
• Cannoli for a sweet finish

Every dish was spot on. The portions are generous, the pasta is under $20, and the flavor rivals some of the top Italian restaurants in Marietta. If you’re looking for a reliable, high-quality Italian spot that won’t break the bank — and delivers like a dream — Mambo is it.

This place holds a special place in my heart. I used to go to their original location in Johns Creek (near The Forum) where it was a family staple. We loved the calamari fritti, carpaccio, and the pizzas — and I can honestly say they’ve only gotten better. We were sad when they closed there, but thrilled to discover them again in Marietta.

I’ve been meaning to try this new location for five years — and now that I have, I’ll definitely be making an in-person visit soon. Don’t sleep on Mambo!

I’m also Italian descent and I can say that this is great food!

We arrived a great time because it was before it got extremely busy. We were seated right away. Our waiter, Christian, did a great job serving us, and made sure we had everything we needed. We got the meatballs, seafood linguini and penne chicken and shrimp Alfredo. Our meals came out hot, and they were extremely flavorful. When we come back in town, we’ll be sure to make a stop here!

Been here 3 times for lunch. Service I have received was always good. Provides nice recommendations. It may appear cramped but once you are sitting down and you start to relax and enjoy being in the moment the music hits you. Funny how I said to my wife how great it was listening to the music and how I was flooded with childhood & teenage memories from being in Italy.
The food is okay…there were times when it was great & other times good. The focaccia is just pizza dough so don’t go crazy. There has been only one place that has true Italian focaccia and it’s the Italian Boutique in Halcyon that makes real authentic focaccia sandwiches. Pasta is good, soups are great, pizza is good. I’ll go back because the food is okay and the atmosphere touches my heart. It’s cute to see the two Vespas outside & inside.

We had a wonderful experience at Mambo. From the moment we walked in, we were treated with genuine kindness and care. Our server, Christian was attentive, respectful, and made us feel truly welcome. The food was delicious, beautifully prepared, and served promptly. We especially appreciated the atmosphere—it was comfortable and inviting, making it a great place for meaningful conversation and fellowship. We appreciated Christian’s exceptional service and heartfelt hospitality. We will absolutely be back and highly recommend it! When at Mambo ask for Christian!

Friendly staff and nice menu. Arrabbiatia sauced penne was particularly angry and hit the spot quite well. My lady friend had a vegetable stromboli. When it came it looked like a baby manatee, barely fitting on the plate. She said it was delicious. I can’t attest because I wasn’t done with mine. We both took our leftovers for enjoying the next day. We highly recommend Mambo Italian!

Rating: VERY DISAPPOINTING

Our party of three dined here on a pleasant Monday evening in late March. Despite the restaurant being nearly empty—with only two other tables occupied—the service was a mess. We were balanced between two different servers who constantly confused our orders throughout the meal.

The Basics: Water and Bread

First, be aware that this establishment does not offer complimentary bread, a staple at most Italian restaurants; you’ll have to pay extra for it. Second, avoid the tap water. Everyone at our table noticed a distinct sour taste, and unfortunately, the ice in the soft drinks was made from that same poor-quality water.

The Food: Overpriced and Under-prepared

The culinary experience was a string of disappointments:

* Minestrone & Vegetables: The soup was bland and flavorless. My “grilled” vegetables arrived sautéed, swimming in water from what was clearly a hasty thawing of frozen produce. I couldn’t finish either.
* Meat Lasagna: A friend ordered this, and while the edges were lukewarm, the center was ice-cold. It was another obvious case of an under-heated, previously frozen dish.
* Seafood & Veal: The mussels were tiny with an overpowering fishy odor. Though my friend finished his Veal Francaise, he was deeply underwhelmed.
* The Bar: A “top-shelf” Reposado margarita was served in a tiny, over-iced glass without even a salted rim. For the price, the preparation was amateur, and the value was nonexistent.

Service & Presentation

The “amateur hour” continued with the bill. We were sitting outside at a metal-mesh patio table when we were handed a loose paper receipt and a pen—no check presenter or even a cardholder. We were literally laughing at the absurdity; had there been a slight breeze, the receipt would have flown across Powers Ferry Road. We reached a point where we just wanted to get the hell out of there.

The Positives

To be fair, the evening was pleasant, and the patio—though just a repurposed section of the parking lot—was a nice place to sit once I leveled the wobbly table legs with a few napkins. Also, the cheesy bread was actually perfect; I highly recommend it if you find yourself forced to dine here.

Final Verdict

I always compare privately owned eateries to national chains. If a local spot can’t beat a chain like Maggiano’s or Provino’s in service and quality, there is no reason to spend more money for less value.

Even after I pointed out that my vegetables were sautéed rather than grilled, the waiter acknowledged the error but failed to remove the item from our $105 bill. There are simply too many excellent Italian restaurants within a five-mile radius to ever risk giving this place a second chance. Never again.
