Ciao Mambo - Missoula

Evening was amazing! Service security and worth was on spot. large portions, high quality ingredients and friendly staff.

Absolutely love this place! The staff is friendly, on point and does their best to ensure food and drink gets out in a timely fashion, even when they are busy. Which is basically always! Both times I have been here, I had the Pasta Ravenna, which is just delightful. Their nachos are also to die for.

The food was pretty good here. Bread comes with practically a whole block of grated cheese on top, yum. Lots of entrees to choose from with some good vegetarian options. The caprese appetizer and the Bolognese were pretty good. The place was busy, waited about 20-25 minutes good a table on a Thursday night, so the service was a little hectic but everything came out right!

We are long time customers and last night was a mixed experience. We came in around 5:30 pm and it was not crowded. We were sat right away next to the pizza kitchen at a high top table. Our server, Conner, was wonderful. He was personable, kind, and knowledgeable. Shortly after we ordered our appetizer, one of the kitchen staff was calling out orders to his colleagues. This is normal communication within how a kitchen functions. However, the volume and aggressiveness in which this chef was calling out orders felt as if we were cadets being berated by an angry drill sergeant. We brought it up to our server and he handled it like a champ. He agreed that the passionate chef was way over an appropriate volume and told us he would ask them to bring it down a notch or few. By the time our bottle of wine came, it was clear that it was this chef’s world and we were merely existing in it. So we asked the host politely if we could move to a more quiet table, opposite end of the restaurant. They gladly accommodated and gave us free dessert. We really appreciate the poise, patience and professionalism of all the FOH staff. They really care about us and our experience.

The first time here. I thought it was a great restaurant. the taste was not bad, but I'm not sure if it was eatable. I have found so annoyed cuz problems with the pasta and the side. the green sweetness in the pasta was too old and I don't think I could digest it. one of the six garnels in the side contained a lot of sand, and another also contained a small amount of sand. no idea how it was prepared.
