On vacation, the locals recommended this spot. You need to go in through the left side downstairs to get to the restaurant. The pasta was delicious, I only wish it was spicier.The Alfredo that my husband got was the best I had. Service was great as well, only it took awhile for the food to come out but we were a party of 10. read more

After a short vacation from Mondo (the crowds were ridiculous) we came back to enjoy late lunch. Beautiful traditional Italian food, fantastic service (thank you Sarah) and a comfortable casual atmosphere.... Mondo is just as good, if not better than it's ever been. And reasonably priced!!!! read more

I went here today for a business lunch and boy was I impressed. I got a nice shrimp, pasta dish, and the other party got linguine with clams. Everything was delicious and cooked perfectly. I'll definitely be back. read more

The food tasted good but I really had a tough time cutting my chicken parmigiana. My wife and I really appreciated the young lady who seated us and helped us with our drinks. Nice to see young people being responsible. There is no visible signage at night. If we hadn't put it in Maps, we would've totally missed it. Even once we got there, it was difficult to figure out where to go as there are multiple food establishments on the premises. Recommend putting up better signage. read more

Another wonderful pizza from Mondo Italiano. I called in a pepperoni pizza around lunchtime. It was busy so good for them. Always friendly and good food. Yes! I'm ready for a calzone so I'm returning soon. Oh! The cannoli was delicious. read more

Service was great! The food even better! They have gluten free options but I'm only gluten sensitive so I decided to throw caution to the wind and eat what I love. Hopefully I won't regret it later! We started with drinks. The Italian Margarita was delicious and so was the Sangrita., The zucchini fries were so hot, crunchy and delicious! Definitely on the must have. The bruschetta was meh. But the entrées....we had fettuccine carbonara (yum!) and penne ricotta with sausage and peppers. Come hungry but save room for the gelato! And the cakes or tiramisu! Wow! Highly recommend if you want large portions (they offer 1/2 portions too and they are plentiful!) read more

The to go order is awful. The pizza is cold and cardboardy. I was really looking forward to the Apple salad with the raspberry vinaigrette. How was it? I will never know as no dressing was included. Neither were any utensils. As I was staying in a hotel this was problematic. The order did include sauteed spinach and a Greek salad WITH dressing. These were delicious even if eaten with fingers. read more

Let's not call this an Italian pizza. First of all I called in an order and asked for a large pie, half pepperoni, well done/crispy..... when I got it home it was undercooked and the sauce was sweet and much like a frozen pie from the supermarket. In fact Trader Joe's margarita pie is much better. Save yourself $$$ read more

We stopped in for a late lunch on a Wednesday in November, when much else in Taos was closed, and even at that odd hour everything was spot on. The antipasto salad we shared was big and loaded with a variety of meats and cheeses on crisp lettuce, with an herby vinaigrette dressing. Hubby had spaghetti with sausage, I had carbonara, and we shared a chocolate mousse pyramid for dessert. All amazing. Mood was delightful. Waitress friendly and attentive. If we lived in Taos, we would be regulars. We don't, but we will be occasionals! read more

The place was a ghost town but with COVID it's understood. The food was ok, my friends was great! My Alfredo was dry and not too tasty. It is a little pricey but a good choice if in Taos and you need something non Mexican to eat. Sometimes a lol variety is great! The staff was friendly and the location was clean and COVID safe. read more

Service is too slow I don't know about the food. I've been here 1 1/2 hours and haven't gotten any.

We visited from out of town and got food to go. Chicken Parmesan was great, and a big portion. Pizza passed the test too. Do recommend.

HORRIBLE customer service and the food has gone downhill!! We placed a pick up order today at noon, went to pick it up, made it home and found out that instead of getting the mushroom ravioli (my former favorite) we ordered was cheese ravioli. Not to mention that we didn't get the bread we ordered. We called back and the woman who took the order said she put it in the system wrong and that our bread wasn't ready yet (funny how they didn't mention that when we picked up the order). She had to talk to the manager about getting us the right order since she put it in the system wrong (instead of just fixing it automatically). They tell us to come back for the correct food and to pick up the bread. We get there and the bread still isn't ready. We're home now, without bread. They've always had horrible customer service, but at least their food made up for it. Now, the mushroom ravioli tastes like the water it was boiled in and the sauce has no flavor. A truly disgusting "meal." I should have stuck with the initial cheese ravioli dish which at least had a sauce that looked at smidge better. One of the worst places to get food in Taos! read more

Amazing pizza! The Greek salad is the best we've ever had. Definitely don't miss this spot while in Taos!

Service was great. Have to say that every place I have been to in Taos I have had great service. The bruschetta was not the best, the tomatoes didn't taste fresh or something was a little off. I did get a half order of mushroom ravioli, which I really did enjoy. Tiramisu was oddly thrown together, by, tasted good read more

We really like their pizza. Especially the meat lovers. My friend had a calzone and it was amazing, even better than the pizza. Salad was good too. Nice change of pace from a week of Taos Adobe to an Italian look. Service was quick, friendly, efficient. I will return and always recommend that place. read more

Staying in Taos to ski at red river. Tried it out one night and got the chicken fettuccine and garlic bread. Best chicken Alfredo I've had, enough for two people and left overs. Also tried the mozzarella marinara fries something I've never seen weird combination but very good! Good price as well. Came back the next night to get it again! Good service too! Cute inside and small family owned. read more

Food was OK, portions were ample. Menu options were limited compared to previous visits. They no longer serve alcohol. How can an Italian restaurant not serve wine? Shrimp dishes were good, although the pasta was not fully cooked. Carbonara was OK, but had only a few pieces of pancetta. Not up to the standards of a real Italian restaurant. We will not be going back to Mondo Italiano. Stellas is a much better choice for Italian food in Taos. Only one person handling the entire restaurant. We waited over an hour to get appetizers. People who came after we did got their food before we did. One of the worst experiences I have had at a restaurant. Ownership change has resulted in a big decline in the quality of what was a good Italian restaurant. Taos continues to lose high end food venues. read more

Used to have wonderful food, 2 $30 pizzas were burnt, cold with very few toppings. No response from owner either time, never going back.

I highly recommend this establishment. My wife and I went there on July 30, 2024, and were pleasantly surprised. The food was amazing. My wife had the Lasagna and I had the Penne Pasta with sausage and peppers. The restaurant was very comfortable and they even had a pianist playing. If we make it back to Taos, we will definitely return. read more

Wonderful evening dinner. Food was delicious. A quiet meal with friends in an Ok setting. read more

We were exhausted from a big weekend of reuniting and sight seeing, so decided to order pizza. We ordered the 18" for four people and it was perfect. A basic pepperoni satisfied. The slices are giant, the sauce is perfect, and the crust was delish. I wouldn't mind a crunchier middle, but all in all, I highly recommend. read more

Meatball calzone was pretty good. Lots of flavor to the sauce. Crust was sort of over cooked and hard in a few places but still good. Mixed green salad with red wine vinaigrette was alright but a little too bitter. Needs something sweet to balance the flavor. We did takeout and took a while to get. Took like 45 mins waiting there. They wouldn't answer phone and online system was down. So had to go there to place an order. Very busy inside. read more

Bad azz food!! Great atmosphere!! Family atmosphere!! Cool owner!! And most saliently, Rose!! Rose is the best server. She knows the menu, she makes great suggestions, she's conscientious, detailed with great follow up. Take time out of your busy schedule, get your family and feast at MI. That is all, Frankie & Jesse read more

Solid. Not great, not bad. We came on a saturday night and there was a continual line for a table even though 25% of the tables were empty (even though there were not many tables in the whole restaurant). Why is that, you may be wondering? Because the owner only paid for TWO employees on the floor: a waitress and a bus girl. On a Saturday night. So these two women were way overstretched, stressed out, and unable to seat more people, although the restaurant is pretty small. The kitchen staff were clearly overwhelmed as well. So there was a 20-30 minute wait for a table, and long delays in ordering and in the arrival of the food. But to be clear, the ENTIRE STAFF (in the kitchen and on the floor) were working VERY HARD. But the owner clearly put them into a position to fail. read more

Not a bad little place. Stopped by to grab a pie for my "pre-race" vittles the night before the Big Ride. They were busy, which is always a good sign. The pie itself was pretty good - which is always a nice surprise. The Caesar salad is also worth noting. How many times have you ordered a Caesar and asked yourself..."self, do you taste any garlic in the Caesar salad"? Well, rest assured, "self" will definitely taste the garlic in this dressing. It's a good salad! Ok - on to the pic of the Pie. FYI - had a slice for breakfast - just as tasty. That's always a good sign. :) read more

The I gave a three instead of five star. The hostess never said a word to use we waited at counter to be seated along with another family we were ignored for at least 15 minutes. They seated the first family. The family, they were never greeted either until they were seated. We waited 10 more minutes then they seated us. I wouldn't have minded the wait but being ignored like you weren't even there. Maybe they were trained that way. But I did like the food it was very good. read more

I was in town for two nights and didn't want to go with the typical Dominoes again. So I have Mondo a try. What a disappointment. We ordered cheesy garlic bread, no issues there. Also we ordered the Mozzerella Fries, bad idea they were soggy from the marinara and the marinara was tasteless. I should have known when the woman taking my order said, "hold on I haven't entered that in a long time." We ordered a Greek salad that came with no dressing, the salad was dry so if they did put it on prior, it didn't seem like it. We ordered a meat lovers pizza and it was good. No complaints. I ordered 3 cannoli and they called me back and didn't have any. They offered me 2 cheesecakes to replace the 3 cannoli but the prices on Yelp are the same. I asked about it and they said the cheesecakes were more expensive. If you are in town looking for an Italian place, this isn't it!! read more

Definitely not coming back here. Arrived here for dinner and took about 15 min for someone to acknowledge us after we sat down. Service and food delivery was extremely slow, and the quality of food was underwhelming. Would not recommend the fried avocado or seafood pescatore. read more

Really great Italian in the heart of Taos. Mondo was recommended by a friend and did not disappoint. Nice place with a bright interior, checkered table cloths and all. Food was spot on, service fantastic. The desert (carrot cake) was incredible. Highly recommend . read more

Came for lunch on Saturday just as it was opening. By the time we left an hour later it was packed. Food is excellent and service was good. Only one server, but she was organized and the food was hot when it came. We had beer (they have Italian Berra!) and fried zucchini to start. It is in stick form and lightly battered. Really good with the chili ranch on the side. We chose eggplant parmigiana and a meatball calzone and both were tasty. Large servings. Reasonable pricing. Will definitely visit again. read more

Poor customer service. Waitress needs to work on her attitude. If you are unhappy with your life, it is not problem of customers. Very disappointed in the place read more

We will never order from this place again. Although the girl answering the phone was very sweet, she had no clue of the menu. And she called us back 3 times after our order. Their spaghetti was a ton of noodles, a teaspoon of red sauce, and two meatballs. It had no flavor at all. And we asked for a meat sauce but they are an Italian restaurant that doesn't have meat sauce. They have lasagna though so that leads me to believe the lasagna is premade. The pizza tasted frozen. The crust was thin and did not taste good. The cheese tasted very cheap. And there was not much pepperoni on it at all-despite asking for and paying for extra. We ordered a manicotti as well. It was barely 'ok'. The ricotta inside was good. It could've used more sauce for sure. Three dishes and we spent $71. I'd rather eat at a drive thru Italian place or buy some frozen pizzas and save the money. read more

I ordered food over the phone for pick-up and was told it would be ready in 15 minutes. 40 mi utes later I called because I couldn't go in due to COVID-19 and the order was ready. The bill was VERY high for lunch & after I got back to my hotel I realized why. The person who took my order charged me for 4 appetizers and I only ordered 2. The food was just ok. It was not bad but not great. I had the penne primavera that was supposed to be full of veggies, it wasn't. My daughter had the chicken fettuccine, it tasted strangely sweet. The tomato bruschetta was not great. The goat cheese & caramelized onions were just ok. Meh... read more

We had dinner on a Friday eve. Restaurant maybe a third full. Only two working the floor so service understandably slow. We shared a Caesar Salad and a 12" pizza. The romaine was mostly the darker, outer leaves with hardly any heart portions. Dressing was quite heavy and very garlicky. Our mushroom and sausage pizza was hot when served. The meat was in very small, almost minced pieces. Tasty but not outstanding. A pianist came in around seven which added ambiance. Honestly, the whole experience was just okay. Not really calling our name to return. With two glasses of wine and a 20% gratuity our bill came to $50. read more

Food was good but the gelato was very freezer burnt there was not a lot of it and it overall The gelato didn't taste very good

I picked up to go last week. First time I've been here since Covid and it was great!!! The server who took my order was friendly AND helpful! We just ordered large spaghetti and meatballs to share and the zucchini appetizer (which was HUGE!!!). The food was great! Pasta was perfect, zucchini was tasty, and the price is right! The best part was that it was super quick and they brought it to my car. I have been here a few times and it's usually very good, but this time exceeded all expectations and Mondo's deserves major kudos!! read more

After a long evening exploring the plaza with all it's events we went in search of dinner. We had initially tried to find a different restaurant but never found it. Since it was late (nearly 9pm) we decided to eat at Mondo's when we saw they were open. I'm certain they were about to close when we arrived but they welcomed us warmly and were we ever surprised. My friends and I all agreed that this was some of the best Italian food we have ever had....IT WAS DELICIOUS! We ate the chicken Alfredo, linguine Alla vongole, and seafood pescatore. To add to the great food we had the nicest waiter. We will definitely be back!!! We were seated at near closing and we're never rushed through our meal...we couldn't have had a better experience. read more

I went to get food tonight and it could not have gone any more wrong. They told me it would be 20 mins for my order. It was over one hour because they gave my food to someone else. The people were extremely friendly but the service was not good. The to go food is in a true to go box. I called and asked for my pasta after they forgot to give it to me and they agreed to make it and gave me the wrong thing again. read more

Mondo Italiano - This was frozen - Italian Near Me - Taos, New Mexico

We stopped in for dinner just because we needed a change from the usual New Mexican food we have been eating during the past week. The food was decent and there were some minor issues with the service, but overall it wasn't bad and served its purpose. When we walked in there were a lot of tables available, and we were led by a waitress to a table just inches from one that was already occupied. We didn't really want to sit right on top of another group when we didn't need to, so we asked if we could move. The waitress let us move, but she seemed really annoyed about it. I understand that it probably is annoying and we probably messed up the way they have the seating already figured out, but it was still offputting for her to be annoyed about it. We ordered fried avocado as an appetizer. I thought it was alright, but one of the sauces that came with it was good enough that we saved it to use for our other food later, including the bread they brought to the table. They asked if we wanted bread, and we said sure, assuming it would come out soon and we would eat it before the pizza got there, but it came out just a minute or two before the pizza, and when you have pizza, you really don't want the bread anymore. Oh well. The Greek pizza was good. It had tomato, spinach, feta, and oregano (we left off the olive). We have had better pizzas like this, but it wasn't bad at all. The smaller size pizza was plenty for the three of us (we each got two slices). They have a little gelato shop inside as well. The waitress told us we could add it onto our bill, so I wondered in and perused the gelato for a minute before wondering whether anyone was supposed to be working in there. I felt bad to realize they have to pull people from the main wait staff to scoop the gelato. I got lemon. It was decent, nothing to write home about. They charge by weight rather than scoop size. When the guy asked if I was using cash or card I tried to explain we just wanted to add it onto our bill, he did so but seemed a little annoyed about it. On one hand I felt bad for the employees we kept annoying here, but on the other hand they probably shouldn't have acted annoyed read more
