Reviews of Mambella`s Italian Kitchen Inc. (Catering)

Trevor Dzoutzidis

Sketchy bathroom and stairs going down to it but the food is great and they have a nice ordering system.

Jessica Wood

I ordered ahead online so my food would be ready for lunch and I called to confirm. I have a shorter lunch so I don't have much time to wait for the food to be prepared. But when I got there, they forgot to make half my order and told me it would be a 10 minute wait. I just got the panini they remembered and told them not to worry about the other half of it. But, when I got my panini, it was cold. It was good otherwise, just cold and a bit dry.

Carlos Radic

Awesome sandwiches at good prices. Loved the informality and bantering among staff and patrons.

Jerry Z

Amazing flavourful sandwiches and wraps, you can hardly go wrong with any items. Whenever you order a pickup, the sandwiches are always made just in time.

Mat Howard

Veal sandwich was quite good

Doruk Babaoglu

I love it for years, delicious food, they may be little confused with the orders on busy times of the day, but they are all friendly and smiling. That is what matters.

Spencer Clerk

Meatball sandwich is tasty, but I found the portion small for the price.

Nikita Volodin

Really good food and very friendly service. I got pizza. It was really good pizza with thin crust and good toppings. They were late to serve one of the items I ordered. They said it never happens, but because it happened this time they offered a free cookie.

Angela Zhang

The fresh pasta here is excellent.

Alejandro Carrera

Great inexpensive food with fast service.

Morgan McLaughlin

Not really sure what the fuss is about this place. I've been here 3-4 times now and gotten a few different sandwiches, but have yet to be impressed. The sandwiches are alright, but really aren't anything special and not really worth the price imo. Sad to say, but the quality is about on par with subway for less food and more money.

Dmitry Skakovski

Healthy and fresh.

Beth

I tried their lasagna but it was not the best i've had, but a convenient place to go for lunch

Marta Borowska

Initially it seemed so promising and adorable with the stickers but just a bunch of fried vegetables inside. The mushrooms were good but this isn’t a vegan “meal.” Even rice or something with it would have been nice but that wasn’t included. I guess the wraps aren’t vegan which is what the rest of our team received. Was expecting something with sweet potato as well from the conversation in advance but it seemed like not much thought went into the actual food unfortunately. Wouldn’t pay for this and could just make this at home.

Food is always very tasty, albeit on the expensive side. I eat here 2-3 times a week.

Dan Fisico

I love coming here for a takeout lunch. their sandwiches are delicious, made to order and with fresh ingredients. Their cookies are soooo good. Get one! (or two)

Maximilian Richter

Great Italian food!

Alex Strong

Great food and service, relatively quick turnaround, and moderate pricing. Breakfast is an especially good deal (wrap).

Morgan Tone

Good food, portions are just right - I will definitely be back!

Kristin

Both the flavor and the value were a little underwhelming, but the two women working there were super pleasant. My potato soup had undercooked potatos and was disappointingly small. My lasagna was ok in size, but the flavor was a bit boring.

Mo Yassin

Try the sandwiches I promise you won't regret it. I prefer the veal best!

Sara Bingham

Great service and great food!

Perlanie

Love the food!!! If you want fresh and homemade Italian food this is the place to go ????

Rob Hall

Paul Lapointe

Brian Bazely

Very Well Done Sandwiches

Kirsten Merrifield

My boyfriend and I tried the Dirty Mac & Cheese. It was AMAZING. The pulled pork in it tied the whole dish together. Such an easy meal to make as we both worked late and just threw it in the oven after letting it thaw in the fridge. I 10/10 recommend. Tina is always finding new ways to please her customers.

Ryan Doerner

Small portions, high prices. Have been three times - 3rd strike was Chicken cutlet on my sandwich was over cooked so badly that it was hard all the way through. Spoke to manager and she checked all other chicken and it was the same way. Gets an extra star for manager attempting to make it right. Was appreciated but at that point I was done with the food.

Michael Nazaroff

Awesome sandwiches that fill even a grown man up. Fast and fairly priced. I often go here to grab a quick bite for lunch.

Very Good Pasta

Fani H

People were nice and the food was good! The space was also comfortable, I like how they have picnic tables outside.

Rob Hanke

Great selection and they're all fresh and tasty.

William Lewis

The sandwiches here are really good. It's a small place with some seating. There's always a line at lunchtime but it moves quickly. The Tony Soprano sandwich is enormous and comes with extra toppings. I also like the Italian All The Way which has a little bit of spice to it. Also enjoyed the meatball for the no-veggie experience.

Cindy Guenther

The best Italian lunch in the area. The meatball sandwich is so good.

Christian Saadalla

You'll feel better after you eat here because of the quality of their ingredients, the niceness of their staff, and tastiness of their items. Worth it every time

A Y

Fantastic breakfast sandwiches. Highly recommend their pulled pork pizza.

Christine Geiger

Nice concept, but expensive with not a lot of flavour.

Lee Elliott

Huge portions! Very tasty and reasonable prices

Duncan MacKenzie

One of my favourite sandwich spots in KW. Middle of the road prices, top tier sandwiches.

Laura Gale

Been going here about ten years. Love it all.

Andrea Loveridge

Great food, fine people, reasonable prices.

Ashish Aggarwal

Nice place to be

Andy Bauman

Delicious, quick take-out, meatball/lasagna/cannelloni combo hit the spot. Attended a chamber of commerce event here that was graciously hosted by Mambella's. Keep up the great work!

ThunderStorm Productions

Awesome place for a quick lunch. Sandwiches are great

Reg Domaratzki

Fantastic food made fresh.

Jamie Buchanan

Fill your soul with the friendly service and your stomach with the awesome food. I eat here almost every day and love it. Service is always fast - even when things get busy they put on extra staff to get you on your way quickly.

Shady Ibrahim

Truly a hidden gem and very underrated with respect to the university students! Great food and great prices and they even accept Watcard.

Brynna Yap

The food here is delicious with decent proportions. The panini's are my favourite because of their rich and vibrant flavours.

Susan Carew

Ordered cateting & delivery for 18 people 3 days in a row this week. Sandwiches on Monday, chicken fajitas on Tuesday, and lasagna on Wednesday were all a huge hit! Everyone was telling me "excellent choice!" all week. They also accommodated special requests for a vegetarian meal and a dairy free meal each day with no issues, right down to special salad dressing and fruit for our dairy-free guest. And the cookie tray- OH MY GOD. If you're reading this - try the damn cookies. Worth every penny!! Mambella's has instantly earned its spot as a staff favourite this week and they can expect lots more business from us coming their way in the months to come. Thank you Tina, Sue & staff team of Mambella's for an excellent, delicious, high quality and stress free catering experience this week. We look forward to trying out even more of your menu :)

Alex Wilson

Amazing breakfasts and lunches

Jane D

We tried Mambella's meat lasagna for the first time... OMG! Best lasagna ever - it melts in your mouth! Can't wait to try the other dishes we ordered!

Toob is Bood

I had the pasta combo, and I felt like I paid restaurant prices for cafeteria food. Wasn't worth it.

Adrienne Hong

Glad this location stayed where it is after all these years! I have worked in the tech block just behind Mambella's for a very long time and it's great to be able to walk over for a healthy lunch. It's not cheap, but you get what you pay for. It's certainly quality or quantity. Salads and sandwiches/wraps are made with fresh, non-processed (or minimally processed) ingredients. If I forget to bring my lunch, this is the place I hit up. Better than Tim's anyday - but that's not hard these days. Oh, and their cookies and desserts are made in house and taste amazing (helped me survive my pregnancy). Thanks Mambella's!!!

Lily Hua

Popular place good sandwiches but I don't love sandwiches. They have great soup and they take WatCard

Jeff Ohlhausen

Sandwiches are just excellent have been going for years but only recently branched out beyond the godfather sandwich. I’ll be eating here more now.

Bob Woodland

POS machines ask for a tip even though you have no table service and have to bus your own dishes. Other than that, 5 stars. Good food, nice people.

Preet Wilkhu

Staff is very friendly and food is good too. I've tried their breakfast sandwiches to lunch options, everything is great but I love their veggie pizza.

Jennifer Buchanan

Amazing gluten free sweet potato lasagna!! Even better than traditional lasagna. Will be back!

Kevin Brightwell

Staff are super friendly. Food is great quality and fast service in person.

Kavish Kaup

The food is delicious. Staff is really friendly. Everything about this place is great!

Prabal Gupta

Had the most amazing lasagna and Carmella's chicken sandwich! Absolutely a must try and Tina is wonderful!

Max B

Great place for a quick lunch with delicious sandwiches.

Ashutosh Singh

Italian cuisine, not very good for relaxed dining due to less and cramped seating arrangements hence good for takeouts. Quality of food is good though.

Karen Brackett

Ordered the BLT panini. I’d stretch to call this either a panini or a BLT. That sad inch of bacon in the photo is one of four sad bits on the sandwich. The turkey advertised as smoked turkey is processed deli meat, two thin slices, and the panini is barely warm or toasted and is falling apart. Seriously disappointed in my lunch. Definitely won’t be back.

Eric Jardin

Friendly staff, delicious food, and it doesn't break the bank! The Real Deal Turkey is my fav!

Simon Lawton

Perfect stop for lunchtime sandwiches and soup. If you are working in R&T park this is one of the few places within walking distance.

S

Delicious, and excellent service!

Marwa Suraj

My colleague and I found this place by luck. Ordered the Pasta combo( lasagne, two meat balls and pasta on the side), the tomato sauce was right on point. We have already recommended to our team whenever they are in the area. Spectacular customer service!

Danielle Michaud

Everything Ive ever tried here has been amazing! The staff work so hard and the food was amazing. I love their pulled pork sandwich, and taco salad - my go-tos!

David C

Great for a quick lunch! Come here twice a week! Try the Carmella's or Mangiacake Chicken

Gayle Campbell-Andrus

I also attended the Chamber of Commerce event. I really enjoyed the sweet potato lasagna, which is a "Gluten-Free Friendly" option.It's great to find a restaurant that can accommodate people who need to avoid gluten, and the staff was really nice about this. The coffee was really good, too. I'll definitely be returning!

Joseph Campagnolo

Small eating area, if you so choose to eat in. Serves lots of take out varieties of Italian food. And some others. Orders come out quickly

Kshitiz Thapa

Best Italian food I have ever had

Zenia Horton

Mambella's food is always amazing. They did some catering for me and I have also eaten there on occasion Always outstanding . A hidden gem for sure.

Lindsay Hamilton

A very cute place to have lunch with friends! Pasta was very good. I would definitely go again!

Rob Watson

Great sandwiches

Connor Ball

Fantasic for lunch and if your a local you know thats pretty much all they do.

Alan Price

Took a client there for lunch while visiting school of optometry, trendy and over priced. For what you get and the dining room seats about 12 people. Way too small.

Zoe Reuter

I LOVED IT! Pasta was amazing! Highly recommend checking it out.

Rebecca Davidson

Wow! I have only worked with Mambella's for a short time however I can say that they have gone above and beyond. Fantastic interactions from start to finish. I am working closely with them to provide weekly catered lunches for my company and they strive to meet our needs, including multiple dietary restrictions, within budget. I was even delivered a free lunch to my office as a "sample"! This type of service is rare and should be recognized. Thanks again!

Aaron Cryderman

Sandwiches and paninis here are the best in town! YUM!

taylor sheldon

I went there for lunch twice while in the area and couldn’t believe the selection of sandwiches and paninis. The Cousin Vinnie is the best sandwich I’ve had in years.

Lisa Voll-Leggo

This place is an absolute gem. Community-centric, customer oriented...offering great eats at a reasonable price. Lunch or catering they continue to surpass my expectations! Keep up the great work!

Jeremy Koch

This place is full of the classics and the taste is spot on. Will be eating here again.

Natalie Quinlan

Always great, authentic, fresh food at very reasonable prices. The staff are always so kind and attentive too. So handy having Mambella’s right across the street from the University too. I eat here frequently!

Steve Goodwin

We are big fans of the frozen lasagna! Different sizes are great for small or large numbers. So easy to cook...always delicious! We return over and over again!

Y T

Hidden gem! Everything I've tried in the menu so far was delicious. Also, people who work there are genuinely nice and friendly. Absolutely recommend this place. Try their godfather veal.

Freddy Buehl

Fav lunch spot great food

Andy Prior

I work for the university across the street, me and my colleagues have lunch here quite a bit. Amazing sandwiches! I have tried every sandwich on the menu, and I love them all. From staff to the food, everything here is awesome!

vivek thampi

It's so good and it's always consistent. Really worth a try if you haven't already.

Nicole Fowlie

I just recently began going to Mambella's, and I have to say the staff, food, and service consistently exceed my expectations. The food is fresh, delicious, and best yet, healthy. A hidden gem in KW that I highly recommend.. will go back over and over again.

Ricardo Chan

I would recommend this place. Good food, quality and service. Only reason is not 4 star is due to consistency. I normally order the same thing (Large Paul Pulled Pork) 3 out of 10 times I get a different bread and smaller portion and makes me wonder if I should have order the Regular one instead of large. Maybe it was due to new staff.

Guy Good

Fast, friendly and great food......what more can you ask for!!

Sandesh V

Pizzas are delicious. Reasonable cost. Has seating outside as well.

Tyler B

Decent Italian food. Pretty pricey for what you get.

Ivan Boyko

Excelent sandwiches

Katie McMullen

I started working in this area about a year ago - Mambella's is hands down the best "walking distance" lunch option. Great fast and friendly service, even when they're super busy. Good set menu (my favourite is the bada-bing wing wrap) or great build-your-own options - something for everyone!

Darshan Das

Great coffee

Aaron Stewart

Ordering can be confusing. Good sandwiches. Little expansive.

Jen MacGregor

Normally I like this place. The Twisted Turkey sandwich is really good, as is the various pastas and the Mafia Meatball. This time I tried the Godfather sandwich and was very disappointed. The bun was nice and the meat was cooked nicely with nice breading. However, there was far too little tomato sauce, making it overall pretty bland and dry. Also, the green peppers (of which there were not many) seemed almost raw, which just isn't right. I suppose I will return at some point, but I won't hurry back, and I'll stick to what I know is good.

Renee D

I use Mambella's catering for lunch meetings. Very impressed with the food quality and the service.

Ellie S

Such a cute restaurant that offers a variety of food. My boyfriend and I went to grab some pizza since we were craving it. A pleasant surprise that the toppings were all fresh and it was the one of the things we loved. Parking is easy in the area as there's a designated location, and there is a little paper where we can write our order so it was very convenient. Next time going to request for a little more toppings and a bit well done for our pizza for a bit more crunch. It's a cute place and it does get busy!! Looking forward to coming here again :)

Pokemon Charizard Fan

So good. Everything is made fresh to order. Very inexpensive

Christina Wolla

Omg absolutely amazing!! First time there and definitely won't be my last ????????

Mona Weiler

The best and I mean the very best eggplant dish I have ever eaten!
