    Fried Calamari -- very good
    Evan D.

    Food was ok, nothing extraordinary but not certainly not bad. Ate with a big group and the general consensus was that while no one had bad food, only a few folks who really liked Italian expressed interest in a return visit. Service was very efficient and the servers were very nice but place was scorching, like literally everyone was sweating into their food. No clue why the air was off with just the windows open when it was in the high 80s outside. We got no breeze in the back corner of the restaurant and it was almost unbearable until, oddly enough, the AC came on as we were 2/3 of the way through eating. Highlights were the delicious sautéed broccoli rabe, the expertly fried calamari, the tasty mixed salad and the chicken scarparo (though it wasn't very spicy). Prices seemed good for the large amount of food too. Overall I wouldn't go back in the summer -- the hottest I've been eating in a long long time.

    The very first place I went when I moved to White plains. Tired from unpacking went to get something to eat and found this place 5mins away. Instant favorite since then. Come here often mostly to grab pizza and Italian take out for the kids. This place can easily become your go to when you crave for authentic old school mom pops Italian meal. Atmosphere is very friendly. Most customers you find here are regulars.. They treat you like you're family and you will probably see the owner saying hi to the tables. I warn you the menu is not very diet friendly. Everything is heavy and saucy as authentic Italian often is. The portions are big too. Plenty of parking in the back. Bring cash. As its a cash only. They do have an ATM tho Highly recommend!

    When in town, I always make it a point to go to La Manda's. Good food and consistently good service since I've been going for at least 20 years. The restaurant itself could use some upgrades but I think it ads to part of its charm. Their Baked Clams Oreganato is a must, my fave. I had the Shrimp Scampi which was delicious as always. Nice family run restaurant. Make sure to have a cannoli for dessert.

    cheese pizza w/ peppers and onion

    I've passed La Manda's a few times driving up and down Tarrytown Road; it's bright neon sign stood out amongst the sea of retail establishments in this area of White Plains (also, I'm a sucker for neon signs). Anyway, I was looking to order some pizza for dinner, and since most pizza spots in WP I've tried are just okay, I decided to give La Manda's a try. I gave them a call and shortly after went to go pick up my order. Echoing the other reviews here, the look of La Manda's is old school. Inside, it's really dated - kind of a dark aesthetic with deep brown wood tones and greens throughout. I've been to other old school restaurants like this before, but at least those exhibit some sort of warmth and charm - La Manda's does neither. That's something I'll keep in mind if I ever decide to sit and eat here - this time though, I was just here for a pickup. We got a large pizza with peppers and onion, and also a cheese calzone. The pizza was pretty tasty - I was kind of expecting more topping, but the crust was good and it had good flavor overall. The calzone was huge - the menu says it serves four and it definitely can. What I liked about the calzone was that it had just enough filling and they accented the cheese with green onion which added a welcome layer of flavor. So, while I don't find La Manda's aesthetics to be welcome, I do find their food to be some of the better Italian I've had in Westchester. Also, whoever took my order on the phone was super charismatic. I think he also rung me out when I got to the restaurant - he was awesome so kudos to him for awesome customer service. I would return to try menu items beyond pizza - I'm a big fan of old school Italian restaurants so I'm glad this place is here.

    La Manda's is the real deal. The pizza is fantastic, the mixed salad is to die for. The way Sly and the rest of the staff treat the patrons is like family, and the welcome was the same when Jerry was there. If you need a fancy slick atmosphere, go elsewhere. But if you want good Italian food, go to La Manda's and be satisfied.

We had a fantastic meal and an all-around great experience. For appetizers, we shared the octopus, a Margherita pizza, and fresh tomatoes with mozzarella drizzled with balsamic. Everything was fresh and flavorful. I ordered the Pork Chop Milanese and absolutely loved it -- the breading was perfectly crisp and seasoned just right. I also had a chance to try my wife's lobster ravioli, which was rich and delicious. The ambiance was comfortable and inviting, perfect for a special night out without feeling over-the-top. For dessert, we had cannolis with a light filling I hadn't tasted before -- not overly sweet, just smooth and really good. Our young Italian waiter was on top of his game all night. He was attentive, professional, and even humored most of my dad jokes. Highly recommend this spot. Go, eat fresh, drink moderately, and tip well.

    Wow! what an amazing restaurant!…read more Let me start by saying there is complementary valet parking right next door at the hotel garage. Be sure to validate your parking ticket with the waiter before leaving your table. I ate at this restaurant for a work luncheon, and they did not disappoint!! We had delicious apps - sadly I didn't get any photos.. baked clams, meatballs, fried calamari. There was a good amount of clams on the plate, there were 3 meatballs, and a I would say a small portion of calamari. May need multiple orders of the apps if you are dining with a group of people. Ambiance was lovely, lots of space, and very accommodating for a large group of people. Our waiter was attentive, and got all of our meals correct. We did the lunch price fixe - $27 for a two course meal (appetizer and entree, and tea/coffee)Great size portions!!! The eggplant parm was amazing. One of the best I ever had. I got the caprese sandwich, and the mozzarella was truly so fresh you can taste it. To end the delicious meal, I got the Italian cheesecake. That was truly delicious! I was raving about it the whole rest of the afternoon. I'll definitely be back!

    I came here for lunch and it was a really great meal. I ordered the pre fix meal and I was…read morepleasantly impressed. First the restaurant is beautiful and had great lighting. Second the staff was great. Thirdly and most important the food was great and it was fresh. I ordered the eggplant Parmesan then I had the fish and a crème brûlée as dessert. The eggplant Parmesan was good, it was crispy, a little oily then the fish as was also really good which was my main entree. My coworker had the fried calamari and that was really good, as well. The crème brûlée was good. Overall the food was good and I would definitely come back.
