IL Mokambo In Istrana

Ci sono stato,per la prima volta, con un gruppo di amici che conoscevano il posto. Ho trovato un buon servizio, un ottima spalla di vitello allo spiedo ed un prezzo corretto. Che dire: ci tornerò certamente. Roberto55

Great restaurant that perhaps needs to be "rejuvenated", possibility of eating a good pizza or meat dishes. Absolutely recommended, to try!

I was pleasantly surprised by this place last night... we ate a really good pizza and spent a nice evening... the place is furnished a bit like those of the past... large welcoming spaces... basically you are comfortable and spacious... fast and precise service. I took the "senz penzieri" pizza with plenty of fior di latte and I liked it a lot...I then concluded with the sweet treat, sgroppino and coffee...we were satisfied. RECOMMENDED A+

I liked it the first time, even more the second time. I will return and recommend it

Excellent! Superb and magnificent! Brilliant, marvellous and incredibly amazing. Everything - food, service and ambience - just perfect. And I explain you why in details with arguments. Our international group of seven people “stuck” in a horrible hotel on the road outside Istrana. At the beginning we just were happy to find a restaurant nearby. But we enjoyed the Mocambo so much, that even didn’t change the hotel immediately and stayed for a couple of weeks just because of the restaurant. It became our temporary home - a place to eat, to drink and to enjoy with pleasure and feeling of warm welcome. I was coming every day: in the morning for coffee and in the evening for food. Always friendly staff ready to help whatever you need. And I needed a lot. First, I am very allergic, so it’s always very difficult to get some correct food when I’m travelling. And I was very happy that I had no any problems at the restaurant to get what I was asking for. Even it was no need to repeat all the “litany” next time. They could remember everything. Second. Because of the allergies, I could try only meat. And it was amazing! They have a great choice of different beef to be grilled and you can see it at the entrance. We tried a lot of them, and the quality was just surprisingly good - honestly we didn’t expect to find such a choice and such a quality somewhere outside a big city and even outside a town. The rest of my companions tried other dishes and I heard only compliments about seafood or pizza. Ok, we are not Italians, so we don’t know the pizza as perfectly as natives. But my companions are from Switzerland, they are travelling a lot because of the job, so they have a really huge experience to compare. Besides, my husband is French and as an excellent cook himself he always has a bit higher requirements for catering, so I trust his opinion about the food with my closed eyes. I heard no complaints about anything and the prove of it - completely empty plates! Just in case - if you enjoyed your food, but just couldn’t finish your huge meal (for example, an amazing Fiorentina), just ask for a doggy bag to take away. Third. The restaurant is really surprisingly big in places and absolutely crowded during weekends. Still it’s a family business with a few workers to help. Every person in the staff is honestly friendly and helpful, no any doubt that they are working with their hearts. And even if sometimes you have to wait or to ask twice, it is not because they are working dismissively, for sure! It’s just because it’s not so easy to manage with such a crowd, especially if you’re doing it with pleasure and not because of a whip. So here is my response to those few unhappy people who are searching for something to complain about just to write a bad review after one visit: Just don’t go there - the restaurant is doing well, they even don’t need any good reviews to be attractive and popular. They already are. And for sure not because of the reviews, but because they are really amazingly good. So please, leave more free places for positive people to enjoy there, as sometimes it’s really crowded there and can be difficult to get a table during the weekend. All the best for the guys. I already miss the place and dreaming to come back to Italy by car just to have a possibility to visit Mocambo. I hope, next time I will get a table without booking in advance 😅
