Tina Ho
Complentary brushetta and crispy zucchini to start that was very delicious. All the food is delicious here. There is a liquor store next door and this place allows BYOB to help curb cost. We had the buffalo mozzarella and goat cheese beet salad as appetizer, and red snapper for entree (fish tasted earthy). Dessert we ordered tiramisu and they gave berries and cream complimentary. Felt very welcome and enjoyed each moment. The menu felt overwhelming at first (very lengthy and the loopy fancy font) but this place is great would definitely come back

Il Mondo Vecchio is nothing short of an exquisite restaurant. Whether its a date night, family night, celebration night, this is the place to go! The food is PHENOMENAL and the staff makes you feel like family. The mushroom raviolis and the chicken toscana are my absolute favorite. If you’re looking for a 10/10 traditional Italian experience, go to Il Mondo Vecchio!
