I got a glass of red wine and the Tuscany veggie combo, the fettuccine was not creamy but tasted good, the veggie lasagne was my least favorite of the three dishes, and the eggplant was superb and the red sauce on top was very tasty as well. My kids loved their kids meals and they were very big considering them coming off the kids menu! The restaurant was decorated beautifully, and felt like the perfect relaxed Italian dinner atmosphere. Overall it was nice and we will be back to try some other dishes!

We loved the complimentary focaccia bread, which was warm, soft, and so tasty that we kept asking for more. The appetizers (mozarella sticks, garlic fries and calamari/zucchini chips) were hot and cripsy and perfect for sharing family-style. The pastas and pizzas were delicious--fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The kids playscape was a huge bonus, keeping the little ones entertained while we relaxed and enjoyed our food. The only drawback was the service. We didn't know that they restaurant is completely self-service. You have to get up from your table multiple times to place orders at the counter for appetizers, drinks and entrees. It put a little dampener on the overall dining experience.

But, I want them to be successful. So, highlights: - Outdoor fenced in playground! That speaks for itself. - Literally the most kid friendly restrooms I've ever seen. We're talking fully stocked changing table in the bathroom with multiple sized diapers, wipes, you name it. And, stools for washing hands. - Free bread and oil, and homemade lemonade. - Delish pizza and Cesar salad. I've got two littles so obviously we flock to the places that are family friendly, and mandolas is truly one of the best. Their pasta isn't 10/10, but it's good. Service is great. We have an excellent time whenever we go! Highly recommend.

Pro tip: It's not directly on Walton Way; it's on the side of the building. Wilson, one of the owners, kindly guided me to the entrance when my GPS said I had arrived, but I still couldn't see the restaurant. Please note that there is indoor and outdoor dining along with free parking. Fogonero is best known for its empanadas, arepas, and other traditional Venezuelan specialties. While all of those sounded tempting, I was craving one food specifically...plantains. I have a real weakness for sweet fried plantains, and lately they have become my ultimate "go-to" comfort food. Fogonero's plantains hit the spot. They were perfectly sweet, moist, and enjoyable to eat. The restaurant is a whole vibe. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by a striking mural of the Venezuelan flag painted in vibrant colors across the wall. It's eye-catching, inviting, and instantly sets the tone for the experience. Alfred welcomed me with a warm smile and immediately recognized that I was there to pick up an order. He had everything packed and ready to go, making the process quick and seamless. His friendly, personable demeanor made a great first impression. I'm looking forward to returning and exploring more of the menu once my mouth is back in eating condition.

First time here! Came during lunch time and we were seated immediately…read more Husband got the creole breakfast and I ordered their pesto mushroom risotto. Husband enjoyed his plate and finished it within a few minutes. It came with 2 different types of sauces: a white cilantro flavored one and a red mild sauce that was a bit spicy for him. The pesto mushroom risotto was good, but a little salty for my liking. If you want to add protein, it's ~$6 for beef or shrimp and ~$4 for chicken. Overall, it was good! We'll most likely be back. I want to try their empanadas next time!

The servers are so friendly, making sure you have everything you need. The food itself was decent. Nothing was bad, but nothing really impressed me either. Like I ate it, and it felt very "yep I just food" and felt like something I could make myself. I would say this is a good spot to visit when you're just craving some quick Italian dishes, especially because the pricing is really decent. But it's not necessarily a spot I would bring others to. I did really like the complimentary bread though. The outside texture kind of reminded me of a pretzel. But the inside was really doughy and soft. The bruschetta balsamico was good too. I've never had it with artichokes though! It wasn't a bad addition, but I kept thinking it was chicken because we didn't really have any protein besides cheese. And then every time I bit into it, I would remember that it was artichoke. But I really liked the arugula salad underneath. We also got the pasta combo with tomato sauce and melted mozzarella, thinking everything would be sectioned off with its own melted cheese on top, and we'd be able to try a little bit of each type. So we were kind of surprised when it all came in one pile, and everything was completely covered in cheese. But I liked the red sauce a lot because it was on the sweeter side. It also came with Caesar salad which I liked, since the pasta was heavy.

Salad is too simple and looks like they've served it from a salad bag you get from the grocery store. Some of the staff is nice. Ambiance is very cute and feels homey. Unfortunately I was not impressed by the food, not sure I'll be back.

She was attentive and helpful and refilled my drink regularly. The dirty plates were cleared without me even noticing, so she was good at being non disruptive. The pasta definitely tastes homemade and is so good! I wasn't super hungry so I split a meal with my friend and they had no problem bringing us two plates. Good homemade bread too. By the time we left at 7pm all the tables and bar were full so they do good business. I would recommend this restaurant and would come here again if I am ever in town.

It was just iceberg lettuce with croutons and dressing in the side. The build your own pasta dishes were fantastic! The service was not great however, and this wasn't a unique experience as we've been here before and experienced poor service. Our waitress started out attentive but after our appetizers came, she didn't come back for about 15-20 mins to take our order. Our main dishes took about 30 minutes to come out. Once they did we never saw our waitress afterwards. We waited about 30-45 more mins and then we finally went to go find her to ask for to go boxes and the check. All in all we were there for about two hours, but not for good reason. I think this place has great potential, they just need to better train their staff to be more attentive.

I wound up speaking with management to advise he wasn't going to eat the rest of the pizza and there was a bit more than half remaining. They tried to correct the situation however the initial customer service part was lacking. Was also going to charge extra for more sauce for the pasta I got...so I didn't wind up paying the additional amount. I may try there again in the far future...to see how things go the next go round.

Seems like ordering it well done - extra crispy might be the way to go. The prices overall especially for the pizzas are quite high though. Unsure if that's just in the delivery apps or that way in person too.

The food: Complementary bread: The rolls were so delicious and soft and came with a dill cheese spread that was gone before we knew it. Bruschetta: Everyone agreed it was the best we had ever had. The flavor was beyond imaginable, and that bread was the perfect combination of toasted on the outside and soft on the inside. Oh my my. Meatballs: Pretty good. Nothing stood out good or bad with these. Margherita Pizza: Delicious flavor, but be prepared for a lot of oil! Chicken Carbonara: great flavor, and the best we've found locally. Greek Salad: I love a good Greek salad and this was one of the best I've ever had. So full of flavor and really fresh ingredients. Sandra's Inspired Eggplant Tower: We were told this was being pulled from the menu and I can't understand why. It was absolutely delicious!
