Mondano — Restaurant in Old Forge

Simply AMAZING! the food was outstanding and the atmosphere is elegant yet inviting for children to accompany parents for a great night out. From the charcuterie board, the persimmon and duck, ricotta cheese with honey drizzle and bread and the soup all appetizers were delicious. My filet was cooked perfectly with a nice crispy outside and melt in your mouth center. The sauce added a nice touch and the bacon wrapped asparagus was original and tasty. I am not a pork chop fan however I tried my partners and WOW! It was full of flavor and not dry at all. Dare I say it may have been the better meal. The little apple rose on the side was a nice touch and also delicious. The chicken tenders the kids ordered were also delicious even the kids commented how good they were. The desserts were original and unique and also scrumptious. I had reservations for the pumpkin creme brulee however it was so creamy with a perfect crusting and so cute served in a little pumpkin. My pastries were delicious as I love pistachio. My daughter got the chocolate mousse which was not what I expected and a pleasant surprise served in the cup with strawberries. With the menu changing monthly there's no reason not to go!!! I'm so glad a restaurant like this has finally opened in our area and I look forward to eating...

This restaurant is a gem in Old Forge—a town known for its Italian cuisine. What sets this spot apart is its eclectic menu featuring dishes from various cultures, along with excellent vegetarian and vegan options.

My sisters went there tonight and brought me takeout. I was very pleasantly surprised. The Mediterranean sampler was fantastic, featuring a very good creamy hummus and smoky babaganoush. The muhammara was some of the best I have had and the falafel were large and rich without being overly dense and heavy. They came in a delicious creamy tahini with chopped tomato. The platter also came with a spread of premium olives (not pitted so be careful when biting into them). I also tried the seitan Marsala special, which was rich and satisfying—definitely a standout. I would happily eat all these again but look forward to trying other menu options.

It’s rare to find a place offering diverse cuisine options outside of Scranton, and I hope more people discover this unique spot. While I only had takeout this time, I will visit in person soon. My sisters enjoyed the ambiance, and I noticed they have a classic cocktail menu that caught my eye.

I’m glad this restaurant opened...

Phenomenal! We went for the plant based international tasting and were not disappointed! Everything from the food to the service to the atmosphere was incredible. All of the food was unique and delicious BUT the Muhallebi for dessert was over the top fantastic! I tasted something new in every bite. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. The staff was incredibly attentive which only added to the enjoyment. We already have reservations for the next tasting. I am not a vegan or even a vegetarian and did not miss the meat in this tasting meal. And don’t be fooled by the idea of a “tasting” meal - the portions were generous. The regular menu changes monthly, so we plan on trying it on a “normal” night to see what else they have. And for the vegans out there, we were informed there are plenty of vegan options on the regular...
