Mandolas Deli

Food: 10/10 Love the Pasta Brocato here. It’s made with penne pasta, grilled shrimp, & pesto-alfredo sauce. Taste is always amazing! Service and atmosphere: 10/10 Use to come here all the time before Covid. Lowkey forgot about them till a friend mentioned their pasta. Went back after a few years and their quality, taste, and presentation of food was still as outstanding as I remembered. Possibly even better. What makes the experience even better is the hospitality, customer service, authenticity, is also still top tier. It’s a family owned business and you can feel the love they put into their restaurant and food, and the HTX and Coog Spirit goes strong here. Their whole back wall is decorated with UH memorabilia, and they also have family/staff photos all throughout the establishment. Very homey and friendly staff and welcoming environment. Overall highly recommend!🙌💯

What's not to say about mandolas deli. An absolutely amazing place with super friendly staff. We travelled from Ireland 🇮🇪 and just had to try the food. Needless to say it did not disappoint. I got the chicken parm po boy and meatball appetiser. The food was out of this world and the atmosphere was absolutely amazing. If you get to meet James while you're there he makes a mean latte.

Visited Mandola’s Deli on a Saturday at 1:30pm. It’s an old school family owned and operated spot with vintage charm; wood paneling and memorabilia on the walls. I thought I would’ve beaten the lunch crowd but ended up waiting in line for 40 minutes to order and receive my food. The large Deluxe Po-Boy was tasty and filling and the chocolate chip cookies were soft and delicious! I appreciate that the owner was working front and center at the register, providing great personable service, but he seemed stretched quite thin which slowed the line down. (Only person entering orders in the one register they have, but also attending to multiple things behind the counter.) I will definitely be back but during off peak hours, or phone in my order ahead of time.

Another gem in Houston! Looking for the real Italian deal (and sometimes with a twist)? Mandola’s family tradition for “happiness through food” is a must when in Houston whether you’re a local or just a visitor (like me). From the moment you walk in and get greeted by the owner and staff, to ordering the food, to bringing that first bite to your mouth, it is all goodness!! I went with a couple who are great friends and as much of a foodie and I am. They are local and they had nothing to say but good things about Mandola’s Deli. The stuffed artichoke is the best in class, probably in all Texas! My friend C ordered the Muffuletta and his wife M ordered the eggplant parmigiana Po boy and they said it was fantastic. I had the Giovanni with spaghetti and it was delicious. Both the gent who took our order and the owner, said this plate is one of their best, and boy they are not wrong. Starting with a great flavored Italian sausage, sliced and grilled to perfection topped with four absolutely fantastic meatballs and a homemade sauce, it was a home run of flavors. This is another repeat restaurant for me next time I’m back in Houston. Thank you for keeping this traditional Mandola’s!!
