Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

If you have not been to Mandolas, I highly recommend. Their food is great, they are really fast for a sit down restaurant and prices are very affordable. I really like their fried zucchini and chicken marsala. My family has had several of the other chicken dishes and pasta dishes and they are all great. What I like the most is definitely their fast service, you can be in and out in 30 minutes. They also have a very cute covered patio where you can eat and enjoy nice weather.

Mandola’s Italian Kitchen is a chain of 10 restaurants that operates in Texas and Florida. The chain is loosely associated with Carrabba’s Italian Grille (the same founding family) and brings hot and fresh Italian food in a manner similar to fast-Italian restaurants such as Fazoli’s but with much tastier and better prepared foods. The restaurant also has a fine selection of Italian deserts. The only downside is that it can be pricey, in fact, as expensive as the superior dining at Carrabba’s Italian Grille itself. If time is of the essence, Mandola’s is a great choice. One other thing to note is that the. Tampa Road location in Oldsmar seems to close to early; sometimes as early as 9 PM.
