Mondo

Love Mondo alone with my wife or the family. Our daughters take over the pizza bar with grand enthusiasm. Every Chef working the oven has been wonderful to the girls and created some great experiences for them. The menu is great and relaxed, the hanger steak is always good and you can never go wrong with the fish.

Hands down.. one of the best places I've eaten in Louisiana. It was super busy, but Our server was a sweetheart and was very patient when I couldn't make up my mind. First off... ORDER THE PIZZA. We chose that as an appetizer and I was so mad I wasnt able to eat it all! Next... the burger. It was seasoned well. Cooked well. Best burger I've had. A must try place!

Cons: expensive, but it's a high quality place. Neutral: small bathrooms. Pro: the waiter Kevin, he knows his beer and the menu well. A personable and friendly waiter, with some great dreadlocks. (Pictured) Pictured: Potato leek soup with pork shoulder. Utterly fabulous, rich and creamy with a great flavor, and a fabulous starter. Pork shoulder on black beans. Spicy, smoky, and utterly delicious. The pork was slightly dry, but hardly a problem with the beans and the sauces. This was a fabulous dish. And desert: the "Persian Love cake" rich, well flavored, and marveously carmelized. Everything about this dish worked, and it was truly fabulous. The mint harnish on top made a great palate cleaner but didn't do much aromatically since the figs and pistachios took the forefront on that. Eat here but be prepared to spend. Dietary note: call ahead for gluten free, they can accommodate, but it is easier with notice.

We've always had good experiences at Mondo and tonight was no different. Our server, Kyle, was kind, professional and attentive. We ordered the bouillabaisse, which was perfectly fresh and flavorful, and a couple of wood fired pizzas. LOVE that the kids get to make their own pizza. Mondo is a local favorite for good reason.
