   Simply - there is no restaurant where the food is this good. They care - from start to finish. The bread is excellent, the soups are outstanding and the entrees are fabulous. It’s not about the ambiance, it’s about the food. Go!

   Dinner at Mandera's was another delightful experience. The food was exceptional, as always. Bread arrived quickly followed by drink order. Place was pretty busy at 7:30. Apps came out timely as usual. I had filet mignon and wife had the ziti. Clams oreganato and the meatball apps got us started. It's always a nice surprise to get the bill there as it's always cheaper without the alcohol.

   Great little spot in town. We all had our own individual pizzas and they were great! Will definitely return.

   The food was fantastic as usual. The fried calamari, ravioli pertuso, & the pollo scampi sandwich are always family favorites. Also, Arturo is the absolute best!

   Mandera is always a great choice. All the food is delicious but the grandpa pizza is amazing! Service is friendly- prices are good.

    We've eaten here multiple times. Have to think ahead to get a reservation. I don't do well on the day of. We got this on Friday for Saturday at 7. We arrived about 5 minutes early but were seated right away. It was pretty busy, with only a few open tables. Waiter stopped by quickly and asked if we needed glasses and drinks. We brought some beer so we got chilled glasses and water. Bread, butter and little garlic knots came quickly. We ordered a 10" pizza and the baked clams as apps. Both were great. Love the baked clams - great texture to the topping, not huge clams, but the smaller ones that you can get in one scoop of the fork. The main meals - chicken balsamico, ricotta stuffed penne and baked ziti - came out appropriately timed. All our meals were good, as always. Some leftovers for today :) Great local restaurant that's become one of our favorites.
