Mambo Italiano Cafe

This is a very nice restaurant, and a pleasant surprise for us while visiting Fairhaven. The service and staff are exceptional first and foremost. The food here is pretty good as well. The general ambiance was just okay though. It was a bit rustic for us, but still good. The clams and seafood were cooked to perfection, and all the ingredients were very fresh.

Mambo is a Fairhaven staple. I have been numerous times and it’s always been consistent (service, quality, etc). The seating area consists of some outdoor, indoor, indoor courtyard seating (very cool building). There is also a bar. On my last visit, I ordered a vegetarian option. Penne pasta in a white wine/lemon sauce with veggies. The pasta was cooked Al dente soft. My only gripe was the veggies were cut in large/thick chunks to the point the carrots weren’t cooked all the way. You can’t go wrong with one of their pizzas, or the lasagne!

The spaghetti carbonara is our favorite of anywhere we have ever tried it. This was a family trip, and our kids loved it (this time, but did not 3 years ago) too! Cocktails were also tasty, photo is of my Aviation, I actually preferred my previous cocktail that I don't recall the name of, but was concocted of gin, basil, lime and egg white, and my husband loved his Blood Orange Fizz (I think that is what it was called). Aldo, Scarlet was an amazing server which made the dining experience even better. Love this place!!!

Two good friends of mine from college (38 years ago) and I met for dinner there tonight. The food was fantastic and the service was great. Better than that though, was the fact that the staff was gracious enough (unbeknownst to us) to allow us to talk, laugh and reminisce well past closing. They merely went about their closing routine and left us alone to enjoy our time together. I want to especially thank them for that. That level of service that goes a long way.
