Mabella's | Italian Steakhouse

Very good. Good service. Great food. Slightly disappointed in their Mabella special steak...Because I just expected more for it being their signature. It was still good, Don't get me wrong. I just expected it to razzle dazzle me based on all the reviews and recommendations I got. But still amazing nonetheless. The cocktails were pretty good and tasty. Bread was too hard to eat. Lasagna was okay. Cesar Salad was amazing. Steak was still amazing. That cheesecake though? On my mom's soul I could eat it all day!

Everything about this place is Exquisite! The decor is beautiful. The service (TABITHA) was impeccable! First of all, the garlic toast!!! Yum-tastic! Then, we started with the appetizers (fried calamari etc. and the prosciutto wrapped dates)... WOW! You could make a meal off the calamari! We were pleasantly surprised by the dates! Different! A must try! Delicious! My RIBEYE was cooked Medium, just like I requested! Another in our party ordered his Medium Rare, he said his was perfect! The brussel sprouts, mushrooms and potatoes were delicious as well. The salmon was delightful. Two others had lasagna: They both really liked it, but it was very cheesy, probably a little too cheesy but still good. Ok... 3 desserts... Cheescake with dresh strawberries... creamy and delicious... the crust was ridiculous! The coffe gelato with the chocolate biscotti (?) and espresso drizzle, amazing. The tiramisu, for those who are fans (not me), was absolutely divine! We can't wait to plan another trip here. We came from Montgomey and Auburn/Opelika areas... Will make this a regular special occasion spot. As a matter of fact, my husband said, we need to invent another occasion to return, quickly! Looking at my calendar now. 😆

Ordered their bourbon marinated steak. As someone who orders steaks and makes his own very often, I usually find steaks at restaurants to be not worth it. This was the exception. The wood fired flavor was so noticeable in a meaningful way. Restaurant itself was very cute. Service was great. Will be returning in the future!

This was such a charming little restaurant. 10/10 recommend if you are in the area. The food was amazing and our server was seriously one of the best I’ve ever had! He had so much knowledge of the menu and made wonderful recommendations. Steak melted in our mouths and lord have mercy - the cheesecake! I highly recommend you check this place out and be sure to ask for the best server ever - Ray! You will NOT be disappointed 😊

3rd time visiting and between the food and service, it just keeps getting better with every visit. I sat at the bar where Hannah & Valery served me. I knew coming in the calamari was a must but slightly indecisive on the entree. After going through a few option with Hannah and a follow up with Valery, I settled on the Pistachio Crusted Grouper and Hannah even helped me find a great wine option to pair it with. Between the food and service, everything was a 10/10 Definitely can’t wait to come back in town to try more.

Rarely do I give a restaurant five stars across the board. There isn't a negative comment about this place. The restaurant was stunning from the outside to the inside! Our waiter Joshua was incredible. He was engaging and fueled with positive vibes. Management, you need to clone him! As for the food, everything was perfect! From the prosciutto dates appetizer, salad, tomato bisque, to the Mabella fillet, and the pistachio crusted halibut! I broke my 5-month flour / breadfast and had to try their garlic bread. It was well worth the relapse! I'm definitely looking forward to going back.

We loved our drinks and service, but the food was a let-down. My wife and I stopped in to Mabellas for the first time at 6pm on a Saturday. We grabbed seats at the bar until our table was ready. We had great service and cocktails there. We had great service when seated as well, but we were dissatisfied with the food. The "New York Strip Special" essentially was an oily unseasoned steak served with a lackluster chimichuri sauce. The mussels had clearly not been rinsed before cooking, as grit was coming out of every bite. The staff politely took both items off of our ticket when we sent them back after 2 bites each. Good establishment that seems to unfortunately be failed by its kitchen staff.

A great place for a special occasion. The food is incredible, but they put a lot of investment in great staff and that might be even better than the meal. You can’t have a bad time here. We haven’t had a meal we didn’t enjoy, it is 100% worth the price. Try the cheesecake, ask about the specials, and tip your servers generously, because they’re worth it!
