Mandina's Restaurant

This place is so underrated. If you have not been, make it a point to go, best Gumbo on the Northshore,

Great food n service n price

We always come here for our big family get togethers because it's always good and the restaurant always makes it seem easy. They can accommodate a party between 15 and 25 easily, but we always give warning with a reservation. They will split checks and the food always seems to come out quickly for a large party. My family is always loud and we take our time when we get together but we've never had problems here. We always get Italian dishes and there's never been complaints. One time someone got a fried seafood plate and the fried oysters were a little too crunchy but it was also off season for them so I don't really count that too harshly. That was our only experience with anything other than standard Italian. I had angel hair and meatballs and my two meatballs were the size of softballs. I had already had salad and an appetizer so I ate some pasta and half a meatball and took the rest home for two more good sized meals.

This was our first time coming here and we loved everything about it! Very cozy and homey atmosphere. Service was very friendly and quick. Food was awesome! Very reasonable priced for the large portions they bring to you. There's enough to make two meals! Highly recommend the country fried catfish. You will definitely leave with a full belly!
