Review from Paul M.
Toronto, ON
If the amount of people that head to Mambella's for lunch is an indication of how good their food is, then Mambella's is easily deserving of top-billing. This hot spot for RIM employees offers fresh, quality Italian panini's and dishes that will have you going back on a daily basis. It also doesn't hurt that they have some of the friendliest staff and best customer service in the city.
THE GOOD
Upon arriving at Mambella's you'll notice patrons filling out a paper with their preferred lunch options, a nice twist on the traditional ordering process that ensures a prompt and more importantly, accurate identification of your meal option with the kitchen staff. There's nothing worse then rushing out to lunch, only to return to the office to realize that it's missing a topping you requested, or that it's not even the panini you ordered! Considering how busy Mambella's gets at lunch, you can reasonably expect to be in and out in under ten minutes. Quality food and fast. What more can you ask for from a lunchtime restaurant?
THE GREAT
Mambella's offers a variety of options for the Italian-lover's craving. From fresh salads, flavourable soups, and 'out of this world' panini's. They also offer a very good selection of hot pasta dishes from cannelloni stuffed with fresh ricotta cheese to my personal favourite, gnocchi.
When you arrive you'll notice a large chalkboard with Mambella's great hot and cold panini options. You could pick from any of their wide array of panini's and will not be disappointed.
THE AMAZING
Mambella's 'Godfather of Them All; The Veal Sandwich' is an outstanding panini on a fresh and slightly crispy bun with tender veal, a beautiful homemade sauce just like Nonna makes, that's covered with mushrooms, peppers, onions, provolone and mozzarella cheese. I've always said that you can judge an Italian panini restaurant by it's veal sandwich, and Mambella's hits this one out of the park.
As a panini lover, I often enjoy the opportunity to customize my own. Mambella's offers you the choice to make your own panini and top it with any of the toppings they have available. So if you can't decide between they panini's they already offer, you can always ask for some mortadella, capicollo, hot sopressata, on a fresh bun and top it with a few slices of provolone or whatever your heart desires.
THE OTHER FINE DETAILS
Mambella's is all about flexibility and customer service. If you know you've only got a small window for lunch, Mambella's gives you the option of calling in your order in advance so that it's ready for when you arrive. They also offer catering and delivery to your office or work. I've never used them for catering, but based on their great levels of in-store customer service I doubt they serve anything less then the best.
Next time you're looking for a quick, quality, and fresh lunch option in the Waterloo area, do yourself a favour and head to Mambella's!Listed in: Best Italian Panini
