    A year ago, my husband and I had used Mambo's for our rehearsal dinner. We decided to come back to Whitefish and revisit the memories we shared together last year. We really did enjoy our evening, but only the second half. We were celebrating our one year anniversary, and I'm aware it's close quarters to begin with, but we literally got sat next (as in same bench) to a table of four, with two of them being kids under the age of five that were very loud and wouldn't stop screaming. We would have asked for a different seat, but they had written on the paper happy anniversary, and we would have felt bad. My recommendation would just be to make sure that when you know someone is celebrating an anniversary, maybe give them a little bit more privacy, or at least not near screaming kids so they can enjoy it their date night.

    We have eaten at Ciao Mambo many times and it has always been very good and solid. I’m hoping that last night was an off night for them. The bolognese didn’t have any meat in the sauce and was overloaded with cheese. The Pollo con Fromaggio was very overcooked and instead of the nice marinara sauce that used to be served with this dish was now very watery. Even the garlic bread, which is literally the best we ever had, wasn’t the same. We left feeling a disappointed and again, we are hoping that last night was an off night.

    Way too noisy plus our waiter Walter had an attitude and also was one of the people that was yelling. Folks must like it however, as it was super busy. My food came out lukewarm warm and I never could get Walter back to take care of that issue.

    Nice dining experience, but I felt the portions are small and the lasagna has changed since the last time I visited.
