I love this restaurant! Great food, good service from friendly staff, and oh, so convenient. Sometimes a reservation helps at peak, popular times but walk ins at lunch works well. Love this place!

Mondello’s is fantastic for its homestyle cooking. I’ve been a couple times and have a great meal each time. Try going at lunch. Beautiful atmosphere reminds you that there is more to life than just working.

I’ve been a few times, lunch and dinner. The food is great but the service is inconsistent. The staff is MOODY…sometimes they’re happy to have a customer walk in and then at other times they treat you like you are invisible. My money is too valuable to waste on a not-so-pleasant dining experience.

Food is O.K. Service is weird.

I love the food and wine here. I usually save up to go here though. It’s all about the ambiance (sp?) with this place. The best thing I have ever tasted was the soup with the little meat balls (or lamb?) The service could be friendlier for a neighborhood restaurant, but I really love the look of the place and the food. Sometimes my son and I go there and sit outside sharing the Lasagna and soup

According to http://www.decadeonline.com/main.phtml?agency=skc, at last surprise health inspection this restaurant got 21 points, with 0 high risk violations.

Such good food! I've never encountered a problem with the service.

We're still learning about Italian food – the real stuff – in this country. Many of us were raised on American-Italian (spaghetti and meatballs and Chef Boyardee). The food of Italy, from north to south, and into Sicily (that's where the Bonjrada family comes from), is as different as it is in Boston, New Orleans, Los Angeles, and Seattle. There is no such thing as “authentic Italian” any more than there is in this country. Northern Italy leans toward more butter and cream sauces, and as you move south, your find more oil, garlic, and even hot pepper dishes. In Sicily, you'll find a North African influences with ingredients like raisins and cinnamon in some dishes. Italian food is generally about fresh, simple dishes bursting with flavor, and Mondello (and its sister restaurant, Sorrentino on Queen Anne) bring us the real food of Italy.

Every meal we have had here is wonderful. The service is great and feels homey.

I will not eat at Mondello's. My daughter worked there the first summer it was open and they stiffed her on her last pay check. It my be “warm and welcoming” for customers but it sure isn't for the employees!

Mondello is a reward to your search of genuine Italian food, and a treat for your soul if you care about being treated as a dear customer by the owner and the very friendly staff.

Dined here three times, each time service ranged from disinterested to downright rude. Food is fine, but there are many much better italian restaurants in the city. At least for me, due to the rudeness of the staff , I will never eat here again.

After several years, I finally got around to going here … the food was great, and service was fine, though it was early and there weren’t many customers. Loved all the fresh herbs in the tomato sauce Decent wine selection too. Live music started a bit before we left, and seemed pretty good.

I use to take people to the restaurant for lunch on a very regular basis. One day in 2008 as usual a group of us were having lunch when a few of us asked for some additional cheese for our meals.
We were told by the waitress that putting cheese on our particular dishes (according to her) was not appropriate. After asking three times over a period of 20 minutes we were told by the same waitress that she would not bring the cheese as requested.
None of us has returned to this restaurant since that day and have repeatedly shared our experience with anyone who would listen. We can assure you that over time this has cost the restaurant a great deal of money all because of the very uncomfortable and sad experience with the waitress who by the way is a part of the ownership or so she claimed.

This web site is really a walk-through for all of the info you wanted about this and did not know who to ask. Glimpse here, and you will definitely discover it.

I would like to like this place, the food is fantastic, but each time we have eaten there the staff has been so unfriendly and unwelcoming.  I give it one thumb up, but a big fat thumb down for service
