Mandola's Italian Kitchen - Cedar Park

This restaurant is extremely popular for dinner. The system for lining up at the counter can be a bit odd. The meals are prepared well and served in good portions, and there’s a reasonable deal on kids' meals, which makes sense given the jungle gym outside. However, the desserts are overpriced for their average quality. Overall, it’s a nice place to dine.

I highly recommend Mandolas for a date night or a family gathering, whether or not you have kids. They offer lovely outdoor seating that's perfect for families. It's also an excellent choice for a quick lunch. We're definitely planning to return! You won't be disappointed at Mandolas—be sure to give it a try!

The restaurant boasts a lovely interior and a nice patio for outdoor seating. The food was enjoyable, but I would give it a rating of 3 out of 5.

We found all the pasta dishes we ordered to be overly dry, with a noticeable lack of sauce and flavor. The Alfredo sauce we requested as an extra was essentially just diluted milk. It was evident when we ordered that the spaghetti had not been cooked properly, and it was very dry. Furthermore, the fried calamari and zucchini were placed in a plastic takeout container, which resulted in them becoming soggy by the time we got home. I was quite disappointed, as I had previously enjoyed meals from their other location without any problems. I won't be returning.

I really love this restaurant. The food is delicious, and the seating options are fantastic, especially the outdoors area. There’s a spacious play area for kids equipped with playground equipment, which is a wonderful perk. The bar focuses primarily on wine and beer. For dining, you place your order, take a number, pick a table, and they bring your bread and food to you. However, I can't quite give it a full 5 stars because I think the prices are a tad high for what you get.
