Ciao Mambo in Whitefish - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

There was a mix up about reservations, but Tanya did a great job making room for us. She was also very pleasant even though she was super busy. Or server, Ben was fantastic. They were short staffed, but everyone was pleasant & helpful & the food was perfect! It was our anniversary & they helped make it wonderful!

The place is a converted house into restaurant so kinda tight, and the food is excellent so was packed! Service was great with the volume they had.

Italian Nachos shouldn't exist. Italian food should be simple and elegant.

This is for takeout only. Three out of four of our dishes didn't have hardly any marinara; the noodles were dry and fairly tasteless because there was no sauce in the dishes. I used to work here almost 20 years ago, and the food has always been top-notch in-house dining. The servers have always been top-notch as well, so I'm pretty disappointed that the takeout food is half prepared and shoved out the door and charged the same price.

We have been going to this restaurant for 16 years. One of my favorites in the Flathead Valley! The chicken parmesan is the best!!! Love the brachetta!! Nachos!!!!

Over priced for what we got. Noodles were good but they tried too hard on the marinara and was chunky tomatoes lacking flavor. Garlic bread too greasy, calamari was plain. Not terrible food but not worth $25/person.

The food is fantastic, the service was awesome, and the atmosphere was great! Large portions, bread, and pastas were delicious! Highly recommend!

What a cozy and delicious place! Service was amazing, the wait was shorter than we expected, and the food was incredible but most importantly, very fresh. Wil always come back!

This used to be our favorite restaurant in the area. A couple weeks ago we had reservations at 5pm. We did not get served until 6:30pm. The food was mediocre. My wife had the egg plant. For $22 she got a minuscule piece of egg plant with some sauce. No spaghetti. $5 extra for a little pasta. I had the chicken Parmesan. Chicken was dry and no pasta. Had to pay an extra $5 for pasta. There were 6 in our party and all loved this restaurant but what it used to be. We will not be back. Over priced for what you now get compared to before.

Delicious food, excellent service, and super accommodating for our party of 8. The portions were bigger than expected so we took home leftovers and are still eating them lol.

Food is so different now other than the garlic Parm bread. My order was done twice and still not correct. She comped one glass of wine. Took it home and threw it away next day because even over night it still just wasn't up to what it use to be. My husband's meatballs he couldn't eat because they were NOT the same type Italian he use to get with Ciao Mambo. Sauces are runny and tasteless now. Gosh, now I have to go to Ciao Mambo in Missoula to get the original Pasta Revenna my absolute favorite dish. So sad it has changed. Will not return. Our service was EXCELLENT though we have say.

This place did not disappoint on any level. Such flavorful, fresh food. I had to get the Marscapone cake for dessert to go, so I didn't embarrass anyone with my vocal expression of how amazing it was.

Best Italian food around. We went for a birthday dinner and loved the food!

Cozy, arty, great service, good wine list, but...linguini served with what appeared to be warmed diced tomatoes mixed with (unsauteed) garlic slices poured over it. No effort to created an actual sauce or flavor the tomatoes. I grew up in a poor Italian neighborhood. This was not Italian cooking. No real Italians in Montana?

The food was lovey and are server was very nice. I loved getting to draw on the tables.

This was a fantastic experience! Our server Kam was amazing, professional, helpful, and vigilant. The whole restaurant feels properly run and well staffed, which made the dining experience amazing as our waters stayed full and we were checked on at frequent and appropriate intervals. I had the fettuccine alla rustica and I would highly recommend it. My party also dabbled in the desserts and I got to try the Lemon Marscapone Cake and the Tiramisu. Both were excellent! Overall experience was great, thank you Kam and other staff! 10/10 :)

I'm surprised at recent mixed reviews. My wife and had dinner here last week and loved it. Food, service, everything except the nearby screaming kid. Ben took very good care of us. The bread was spectacular. Our first visit.

Excellent server! He made the meal fun. Food was good, maybe a bit pricey for what you got. Overall a nice restaurant. Hard to get reservations. I would go back.

My wife and I went here for our honeymoon. We had reservations for 2months ahead, as we had seen good reviews and it seemed like a good choice for our special dinner. We were highly disappointed to find out our expectations were wrong. Firstly, it is crowded seating, some chairs are in the middle of doorways. Secondly, the food was seasoned poorly and our appetizer was still cold in the middle. Our Italian pasta was seasoned to taste like it was mexican... oddly enough. As well as the sauce being broth and not sauce. Our asparagus was simple boiled and charred with no seasonings what so ever. My wife's glass of wine was vinegary as all get out. Our other appetizer was supposed to be stuffed mushrooms but instead was a giant pile of sausage patty stacked on top of two smashed mushrooms. Luckily the manager offered to comp our meals, we offered to pay for my glass of wine as I did drink it, and offered us to take a dessert home. However, we sat for another good 20 minutes being ignored waiting for out wine bill and said dessert. When they finally brought the bill we were ignored AGAIN and finally we got up to see if we could be cashed out. We handed a 50 to be broken and they went upstairs twice with our bill and STILL didn't cash us out. Our waiter told us to "have a good day" even though he hadn't cashed us out yet, because he had handed off that responsibility to some other gal and walked away. We finally gave up and just let them keep the 50. Which would have been half of our bill paid anyways. Again this was for our honeymoon. HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED.

We had the best time! Ashley was our server….she recommended the Italian nachos as an appetizer. What a fun appetizer! Holy moly we almost died! So amazing! Ashley also recommended the carbonara and the Ravenna. Absolutely amazing! Also the garlic bread to begin was soooooo amazing. Our server Ashley had the best recommendations when it came to wine! She said she had waited there for so long. She astounded us! Such amazing food and the most knowledgeable server!!!! Thank you mambos for giving us an amazing dinner

This place used to be fantastic. We had a favorite, the pasta Ravenna which 3 of us ordered. Sadly we were all dissapointed, not the same flavor at all. We mentioned it to the waitress that it was spicy, cold and didn't taste correct. She informed us they went back to the original recipes and to expect these flavors on the future. If we want the mambos we've come to love we could visit missoula or Billings. She didn't offer to fix it. My aunt has been sick all night throwing up since eating there. We were there at 5. Took 40 minutes for bread, 40 more minutes to get dinner...pasta was dry and spicy, we asked for sauce and were charged 5.00 each. One pasta looked more like soup. My son never got his drink or dessert and he had 2 of the tiniest chicken strips youve ever seen on a bowl of plain dry pasta? Had to get him food after leaving. While this has been a family favorite for years we will not be back. Tried to speak to the manager but they were busy. The waitress ignored our comments about not being able to eat as the food was spicy and ice cold by the time they brought sauce, just kept smiling and saying perfect while ignoring that we were not able to eat our food. I had heard a few other friends with bad experiences but couldn't believe it, now I get it. I've never had less than a 5 star experience but clearly new ownership and cooks are in the mix and it sounds like they are phasing out recipes. Seeing a lot of these kind if reviews.

This place is amazing!! The food is phenomenal, and our server Ben was so sweet and attentive!! Recommended to make a reservation, it’s busy but worth the wait if you just walk in. Best food in Whitefish, and best service we’ve had yet!!

Marinara sauce was oh so watery.Lasagna was mushy. That's not how it's done. Carly was great as a waitress.

Best food & service in the valley

As a local this has always been my favorite restaurant but not one I have the time to frequent as I live in Kalispell. It has been a while since I have been here but tonight’s experience was less than expected. It is known that the atmosphere is incredibly cramped but we were located in a corner table that I think had an affect on the lack of service we received. We ordered nachos that came within 2 mins which we were surprised yet excited about until we realized they were cold but our waitress never came to ask how it was for us to ask for them to be warmed up. then when our food arrived the dishes were very runny (the table next to us commented on it and how theirs were as well ) and the waitress never offered fresh parmesan or black pepper or checked to see if we needed anything. I ordered the pasta Ravenna which I have LOVED for over 10 years and it tasted nothing like what I’ve had in the past. I took 2 bites and the waitress brought me a box when my husbands food was almost gone without asking if I wanted one or if everything was ok with our meal. Our waitress may have been super busy I couldn’t see from our corner but I can give her grace as I’ve served before but the food was so bad I’m super disappointed. Also they now charge if you want more than one basket of bread (we didn’t but I was surprised by that)

This used to be a favorite of ours, but sadly, no longer. The last 2 times our experience has been below average. We both had the pasta ravenna & there was only 2 very small pieces of chicken & the sauce had no flavor & was watery. Fast forward to our next visit, because everyone deserves a 2nd chance! Arrived about 5:15 pm at hostess stand where she looked up & said yes? I said two please & she said do you have reservations? I replied no, we do not. Mind you there were empty seats at the bar, where we often eat. She walked off & spoke to who I assume was the manager. She came back & very sternly told me they weren't going to be seating anyone else for 30 minutes. I asked what about the bar seating & she quite rudely said, " I think I just told you we will not be seating anyone for 30 minutes. You can wait or don't wait. Needless to say, we left & won't be going back. I'll go somewhere that they have good customer service & treat you with kindness. Pretty sad that they feel it's okay to treat you like that.

We have always loved Mambo's for their Italian Nachos. The sauce used to be what it says on their menu which was a meatball and prosciutto alfredo sauce. This time the sauce was different. There was no prosciutto and the meatballs were different also. We asked the waitress and she said they went back to the old recipe that doesn't have prosciutto. Without the prosciutto and meatball sauce the nachos were just okay. Not very flavorful at all. If prosciutto is too expensive, just raise the price of the nachos, don't change the sauce. It's all about the sauce.

Visited in march 2024. The worst seafood cioppino I have had LOL .... I also asked to add sausage to my cioppino. I was charged $9 for adding sausage. That is STEEP for sausage. The garlic bread was amazing with lots of butter and garlic. Can't go wrong with that. But yes, WORST cioppino I had and it was expensive. Not going back to this restaurant again.

I don't usually post reviews but wanted to let others know. This place has been my favorite place to celebrate for years. Birthdays, promotions, ECT let's do mambos. LOVE the bread. I usually did the manicotti. Amazing sauce and always felt taken care of. Last night was different. We asked for more bread as it is amazing, but we're told it is $5 for more. I guess that isn't bad, but since it's opening years ago bread was always free. The change was unfortunate but the bread is worth $5. Ok, let's not let it ruin the evening. Then I asked for some balsamic vinegar. I was told they charged for that now as well. Oh boy. For 2 TB vinegar? Hmmm. Then they no longer make the manicotti. I got a different pasta that was good just sad they no longer served what I was hoping for. It wasn't a great night for us when you compare your once favorite Italian restaurant to Olive garden. Was joking they would charge for refills of water. Hahaha. Still great food just want others to know about the menu change and policy changes. Confirm they have what you want on their menu before you go. Oh, it was my birthday hahahahaha

Just paid for my wine and walked out! What a joke this place is first they open at 5pm we had reservations for 6:45 we order from the menu just to find out they don't have what we want only two hrs after opening due to bad prepping so we compromise on the menu and order some appetizers to wait we order the mozzarella balls just to have them cold when they are served not cooled off but hard ball of cheese cold I have seen enough of this place already so we pay for the only thing that was good wich just happened to be the only thing they don't prepare the wine and walk out first and last experience there you couldn't pay me to go back hope it helps.:)

Wonderful atmosphere. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Don't plan to be out of there in a hurry though. It's not the place if you are low on time, but the food is FANTASTIC. Especially the garlic bread and the Italian Nachos.

Get The Nachos!! You'll never want anything else 😀 2024- nachos have gone downhill. I think they got new cooks.

Caesar salad greens not crisp, lasagna delivered late after rest of table started eating and was cold in center.

Always a great place to have dinner.

Best part of dinner was hangman on the table with crayons…..service was fine. Atmosphere was fine. Food was bleh Wine bottles were not the right temp, bottles were freezing. “Bolognese” was a soup lol? We had to strain the pasta as we plated it. Cesar salad had black olives? Ok, but still, not Italian. Bruschetta was LOADED with ricotta. Sure, its on the menu “ with ricotta” but where is the reasonable ratio? Can make a better pizza in a Ooni pizza oven in a truck bed. After looking through other reviews, it seems like previous problems with food hasnt been fixed, shame on us. Fix the kitchen guys

We hadnt eaten here for a couple years and decided to try it again. Food was mediocre at best. Unless you are a tourist your money is better spent spmeplace else.

I have been to Mambo several times throughout the years. This is the first time the food has been awful. I had the bolognese. It was swimming in water. We brought it to the attention of our server, Ben, who didn't offer to correct the order, nor did he have a manager come to the table to discuss it . In fact, he could have cared less. The high prices only added insult to injury. Will never eat here again and cannot believe that people are lined up at the door to get in before the opening time. It's not the Mambo I remember!

Fabulous dinner at "Mambo's" again this year when visiting family in Whitefish! Ashley waited on our big family and was AMAZING!

The food is so bad. Terrible ingredients, even worse cooks.

Calamari was a disappointment, could have bought it frozen from a grocery store and it would have been better. Portion was so small it didn’t even fill up the dish. Garlic bread was delicious but pasta was undercooked and drowned in sauce. My friend got the same dish but it was different, no sauce at all. The server was really friendly but food took over an hour to arrive. They also mixed up the dishes and once they realized, re-served the partially eaten dish to another person at our table. Very disappointing experience considering the amount of recommendations we got for this place.

I love this place! Best of Whitefish!

The staff was VERY nice, however our take out experience was poor. My dish had shrimp in the description, there was 1 shrimp. My wife had chicken in hers, there was 4-5 small pieces and I mean small. It tasted good, however was just noodles and sauce in all reality, no substance. For the price it was not worth it. Which is a shame, we go to ciao mambo all the time in Missoula and it’s never like this.

Always consistent and great. The garlic bread that they give you, before your meal, is delicious. We got the nachos which is great. I got the special this time, which was excellent. All of this is normal for Ciao. What really impressed me this time, was our waiter, Ben(jamin). He had 6 tables going at once and was incredible. He was hard working and we never lacked anything.

We had a nice evening selecting a variety of Italian dishes that were flavorful and fresh. The portions are quite large so prepare to take some food home. The dining area was clean and intimate. Our server was very friendly and responsive albeit being responsible for several tables; leaving him unreasonably quite busy. We made reservations in advance, which is advisable due to the popularity. The hostess did request in the future for us to arrive at our designated dinner reservation time versus a little prior (e.g., 15 minutes), which was a little off putting. I restrained from responding.

Great place for Valentine's dinner! Also worked for our anniversary on the same night! Truly enjoyed it! Our server did very well on his second night.

We have come to mambos for over 10 years! It has always been our favorite! We went out to tonight! The food quality was poor and saltly, they have changed how they make things! Prices have gone up! It is not the mambos our family has always loved! We will not be back again!

Some of the best Italian food I’ve had out west. Order the chicken or eggplant parmesan and get vodka sauce on the pasta!

Good food. Since it was very busy it took a while to have it prepared but was worth the wait. Fettuccine alla rustica excellent, but the sauce just slightly watery. Eggplant and sauce were very good, and the garlic bread was to die for. Attmosphere alive and enjoyable.

I met a.couplw friends at Ciao Mambo for dinner. We all enjoyed a Caprice salad. Then, we each had a different pasta and thoroughly enjoyed it. I had the penne premivera pasta with vegetables. It had a variety of vegetables in a light pesto sauce. One in our party had the small ceaser salad, which looked great. The service was good. The place was busy without an empty table on a Thursday night.

No where to wait for your table. Barely enough room to enter the building. Poor designs we left.

I’ve been coming here since I was a child and I’m disappointed in the severe decline of quality in their food. My husband and I ate here for my birthday. There was a delay which we were informed was caused by an issue with cooking our pasta. I was shocked they even thought it was a good idea to bring our food out to us considering what it looked like. We both ordered the same dish but it looked like they were completely different. My pasta was so soupy and watered down it barely tasted like anything while my husbands was the opposite with barely any sauce. The whitefish location specifically is way too crammed. When leaving with my baby in the car seat I could barely make it out of the restaurant. I’m surprised they aren’t violating fire codes with how crammed it is. Unfortunately won’t be coming back.

Go early, beat the line, a must go dinner destination in Whitefish.

We ate here for the first time this evening and absolutely loved it. Wish we tried it long before now. It's a quant little space....looks to be an older home that was converted. Seating is tight but the atmosphere was really nice with candles on the tables, albeit a little loud. So if you're looking for a quiet place, unfortunately, this probably isn't going to work. The staff was super friendly and attentive. The food was excellent and very reasonably priced. The calamari was the best we've ever had. One dish we had that wasn't listed here as a selection was the Fettuccine Alla Rustica. The alfredo sauce was amazing. There were two of us in the party and the bill was about $90 but we had an appetizer, 2 entres, a glass of wine, and shared a cheesecake. This will definitely be one of our new regular spots.

It's a little expensive but the tasty of the food pays for that very recommended.

beautiful food beautiful ppl staff is amazing

Been here twice, amazing each time. Unfortunately no photos for you, as I've started leaving my phone in the car for meals! Kids had a great pizza, really nice crust and toppings. Meatballs are housemade and full of flavours. You really can't go wrong here.

Garlic bread was incredible! Server Darcy and all employees were great! Hostess was able to get us in luckily. Food was delicious as well as good wine. Darcy is an amazing server!

Great as usual, our favorite place in Whitefish. Happy they are allowing reservations now. Food comes out so quickly, great if you're starving, not so great if you want a lingering relaxed meal .

Let me start by saying the service was great! A friend recommended the restaurant. First the garlic bread had so much garlic I couldn’t eat it - and I love garlic! It was also spicy, like they added cayenne to it. Next was bruschetta. I thought it would be mostly tomatoes and basil in an olive oil/balsamic but this was a few small tomatoes with A LOT of ricotta cheese. So rich, and not what I think of when ordering bruschetta. The entree was just ok, again, lots of garlic, and very salty. The wines were no to hung to brag about. I buy better, more flavorful wines at the grocery store. I won’t be going back.

Great atmosphere with great food and a friendly waiting staff! Highly recommend the linguini alla carbonara!

I've been coming here for 8 years and my husband's family has been coming here for even longer - unfortunately things have changed and we will not be returning after our evening. We arrived at 625 for a 630 reservation and were told our table wasn't ready but we could wait in the heated waiting area. We were taken to an outdoor patio with 2 propane patio heaters when it was 29 degrees outside. Within minutes we were very very cold. After waiting outside for 20 minutes - 15 minutes past our reservation time - we finally asked when our table would be ready and were told it would be another 10 minutes. The hostess did apologize and offered us an appetizer on the house. Once we were seated the garlic bread and appetizer were delicious but the mains took 45 minutes to come out despite us ordering them at the same time as our appetizer. The pasta Ravenna didn't have any sauce - it was incredibly dry with many pieces of pasta having no sauce at all. Additionally it seems like they forgot to put the sundried tomatoes in altogether. I had the eggplant Parm which was disappointing as the eggplant was very rubbery and there was no ricotta to be found. It was so salty that I had to stop eating after just a few bites. Altogether a very disappointing experience.

Loved this place! Food was amazing! My only complaint was our table was kinda wobbly and we were close to the table next to us.

Bought gift certificate online.

Pizza was under cooked and too much cheese for its size. Pasta was ok but too light on the sauce. Bread was delicious but would prefer a lot less garlic pasted over the top. Sever was great and everyone was very friendly.

Great food, excellent service, cosy, noisy ambiance. Lots of energy in the room.

This was the best food and service I've had in a long time if ever ? Thank you Ciao mambo and Darcy for a wonderful evening with my wife. Truly enjoyed the evening

Food is amazing and normally staff is to. Our waitress tonight forgot us multiple trines. Forgot our bread, then forgot our coffee, then forgot our to go bag. Kept having to search for her. Otherwise great

Huge thank you to Darcey! She was absolutely a blessing and we will be back next time we are in town! The food is amazing, a wonderful atmosphere and Darcey went above and beyond!!! So thankful!!!!!

Soggy horrible nacho’s ! Waitress had the kitchen put them back in the oven - made them even soggier. She told us that pretty much every table told her the same thing! Didn’t ask if we wanted new nachos or something else from the menu. Just reheated them and made us pay for nacho’s we couldn’t eat! Literally had to cut them with a knife and fork! To the new owners- do not change what’s been great for many years!!! Horrible food. Cancelled our other redo’s!

New owners. Menu changed, meal takes 2 hours to be served.

Great little Italian restaurant, fairly small space, that is the only downside. Food was great, service was also fantastic.

BEST bread and Pollo Fromaggio EVER! Kam, our waitress, was GREAT! ‘Vibe’ of the place is terrific. Maybe best Italian meal of my lifetime.

good food, tight spaces. Management unable to manage the boors who came in during our meal and proceeded to shout over everyone making our meal a frustrating event for the entire room. Management/wait staff unable/unwilling to address the situation. "0" star for ambiance. Will not go back. Others be forwarned.

Unfortunately the buildup we expressed to our visiting family was not the norm from our previous experience here. Our server, Ben, was delightful, attentive but not intrusive. The food however, was extremely disappointing. A family member ordered the linguini with meatballs salvatore and the meatballs were just 2 large balls of solid meat, being dry as a bone with very little flavor. There might have been a couple of tablespoons of the roasted garlic marinara sauce at best. My husband & I each ordered the fettuccine alla rustica substituting fettuccine for linguini. His meal came with the perfect amount of sauce. Mine however, was lacking barely any sauce making it dry & unappetizing. We started the meal with a caprese that might have had one sliced roma tomato with an equal number of slices of mozzarella cheese and some balsamic reduction drizzled over it with a few threads of basil but a large amount of salad greens. That was weird. Good thing we love garlic because the mini cesare was drowning in the dressing. Had it not been for the always delicious bread, the dinner would have been a complete waste. Based on the numerous times we’ve eaten there, it was again, very disappointing.

Always delicious. I do miss the fruity tomorrow in the white sauce. Can we add that back on the menu?

So delicious. Definately recommend the nachos appetizers. Ciao Mambo was reccomended to me by a friend that moved to the area, and I've been back twice with different work crews and we all love eating here the last night before we fly home.

HUGE THANK YOU, to Ciao Mambo in Whitefish, Mt for my wife’s & I 14th wedding anniversary dinner, it was simply the best and so delicious as always, that’s why we drive 2 hours down there from Fernie, B.C CANADA just for dinner because the service and the food never disappoints, it is the best of the best you have ever had !!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ SPECIAL THANKS TO WREN, the hostess and our server Liana, both of you are awesome !!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

We love Italian food and try new places everywhere we go. We ordered to-go as we knew this place was busy with long wait times (the longer the wait, the better the food 🤗) Fantastic food all around from the Lasgna Nachos and Penne alla Vodka to the Lemon Cake with Huckleberry drizzle. Must eat while in Whitefish!

Really wanted to like this place as the service was great. The food just wasn't good. The manicotti was alright but the sauce was watery. We got the Mona lizza pizza and it was DRENCHED in oil. So much so I could only eat 2 slices before I couldn't stomach any more. Felt unwell after. I'm sure the other dishes might be better but I'm not sure I'd risk coming back here.

The portions were very generous. We started with the Nachos, highly recommend. Great as a sharable or as a main dish. I got the Penne Isabella. Was good, felt it needed some salt. Hubby got Linguine Alle Vongole in red sauce. When served he found a piece of bread under the pasta- never seen that before but it's a thing. His dish was delicious. Finished with the Chocolate Elderberry Cannoli that was delicious. Paired with Prosecco. Complaints were it got smoky inside twice while we were there- needs better ventilation. Also, the restroom needed attention. Our server, Liana, was great. We had a 7:30pm reservation in a Tuesday. Got seated on time.

We went after being recommended by hotel staff. We were in a private room upstairs. The service was great. The food and wine was delicious. We ordered kids- Mac and cheese, pasta with butter, pasta with red sauce; adults - bolognese and lulubella.

Staff were very nice and although we had to be seated outside, the smoke in the air didn't reach us. Portions of food are proportionate to the pricing and delicious 1 meal can easily feed 2 people haha 😄

Half points aren’t available so I rounded up. Food points to this being an upscale italian eatery but then they provide low end dishes and paper & crayons to draw/colour. Server was very nice but service was certainly on the slower side. Garlic bread is given and I loved it, my husband found the garlic to be overpowering. On the flip side, he enjoyed the salad and I did not. We loved the tootsie roll appetizer. If you like cheese, we recommend this menu item!! We got a pasta and pizza to share. The pizza was below average. However, We both really enjoyed the pasta which came with sundried tomato/ artichokes/ mushrooms/ chicken. This is definitely 1 of the better dining experiences around. Worth giving it a try for the pasta at least.

Our friend raved about this place, but we were disappointed. Very rushed, waitress stops by for a second and keeps on going. Our order was incomplete. Pizza is very good , as is garlic bread but we have had better lasagne.

Unfortunately, they have lost their charm. Especially their attitude towards locals. Got told that they get “75 calls per day” asking for reservations and didn’t have time for my call. By the manager of all people. Unfortunate. Our family has loved this place. But due to the customer service we will have to look elsewhere

We’ve been here before & it’s been good but this time the kitchen was a little off. Darcy was an excellent server & the garlic bread is fabulous. The Caesar salad had too much dressing & my husband’s carbonara tasted like Alfredo. My pasta Ravenna was good. Our dessert (Zeppolis which are usually soft like donuts) took 40 minutes & was hard & over fried. It must have been an off night.

Never skip Ciao Mambo when I come to Whitefish and today’s experience reminded me why. They accommodated our group of 14 seamlessly and as always amazing food , efficient and friendly service!

Delicious Italian , Nachos were a great app ! Great service too ! We went for dinner on weekend night , had a reservation. Suggest reservation, as it was crowded

We usually hit up Ciao Mambo every time we are in the area. The prices keep going up and up and this is the first time that I felt that things are getting quite pricey for a bowl of pasta. I had the pasta with sun dried tomatoes and artichokes and mushrooms. There were no artichokes in my dish and the mushrooms were not that plentiful either. I asked about the artichokes and they did bring me a side dish. The artichokes however were very tough and woody. I feel the quality of the food has diminished significantly. The other peeve I have is that you now require a reservation which can only be done online. However if you are reserving for a party under eight (8) people, they want you to use your credit card to secure the reservation. Sorry I think not. Overall this time experience somewhat mediocre.

Delizioso! Very good food and good service.

This is a must go place. Was worth the hour wait. Food was amazing, great friendly service. Their (complementary) garlic bread was so good. Fresh from the oven. Pasta was perfectly cooked . I only wish they would consider expanding to the Bay area, California.

Food is absolutely outstanding !!!! The best in downtown whitefish.

‘Italian nachos’ aka deep fried pasta was dope! Spicy arrabiatta was also great. Salad was pretty meh though for the price

Best restaurant we have ever been too. Service is amazing and everyone helps everyone out. Food was beyond delicious. Hard to give any place 5 stars, but this place deserves it. No one stopped working for a minute & I’ve never seen a chef move so fast. Amazing!!

Great customer service, amazing workers. Perfect for if you’re traveling. I am from Minnesota & they treated us like we were locals. Love this place!

Ciao Mambo was incredibly accommodating for our family and it was a great meal! We ordered the tootsie rolls, and they were phenomenal! The fettuccine alla rustica and pizza guido were so delicious. Looking forward to our next trip to Whitefish to eat here again!

The food was great! And plates very large...do not skip on the bread!

Delicious food, friendly staff!

Last night my family and I came in for dinner and we had Ben as our server he also has been our server the last few times we have come in and I just want to say he does absolutely amazing. He is also so friendly and always on top of everything and is always busting his butt. And as always the food was absolutely amazing

Amazing food. Large portions. Great staff.
