About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Romantic
  • Good for special occasions
It started out over sixty years ago, when a young man named Alfonso Mandara left his native Italy for something more and found himself in a mozzarella cheese factory in Brooklyn. After years of hard work and savings, In 1960, he signed a piece of paper that would change his life and our lives forever…the opening of his first pizzeria became the beginning of his favorite story and our family legacy. Little did he know what he thought was already his American dream come true would soon far exceed anything he could have ever imagined. The hard work and drive he taught his sons along with encouragement and opportunity he gave them would grow into what has become our family business today. Now in our third generation and bringing with us over fifty years of experience, one thing remains true to our hearts—our story.

    The gentleman at the bar was very inexperienced and served us 6 cocktails (2 being house wines/1 white claw and 3 other mixed drinks) for a total of $81. This restaurant is in a strip mall not New York.

    First time eating at Mandara. So pleasantly surprised! The decor is modern with an upscale flair.its more restaurant than pizza Place .Our waiter Mario was so attentive and friendly! We ordered a nice bottle of Cabernet to celebrate our anniversary and then had some homemade bread. It was so good that I asked if they sell bread “to go”. Garlic knots are Pretty awesome as well! Most importantly the food is delicious . They portions are large and everything is fresh. I will definitely be back!!!!

    Food was fabulous. Bring your appetite- large portions. Had to ask for napkins and bread well into our seating. Otherwise a great experience.

    Based on thier website and menus available it appeared that not only were dinner entrees available but also different and vried pizzas were available ( not the name ... & Pizzeria), however, when presented with the menu there were no pizza items. We inquired if there was a separate pizza menu and was advise that for dinner pizza is not servied on Friday, Saturday or Subdays. Also when we were leaving after dinner we noticed a glass counter near pizza ovens with numerous varierties of pizza which we culd not understand why items could not be ordered for dinner.
