Mandara Ristorante, Bar & Pizzeria is the latest venture from a family who personifies gracious hospitality and accessible, soul-satisfying fare. Headed by Michael and Mena Mandara, the family has been in the food business for more than 60 years, since Michael’s parents, Alfonso and Regina, emigrated to New York City from the iconic southern Italian seaside village of Positano. After working in a Brooklyn mozzarella factory, Alfonso opened his first pizzeria in 1960 and his sons followed them into the business, eventually opening Posa Posa in Nanuet, New York, a neighborhood favorite since 1984 and North Jersey favorite pizzeria Mandara & Ristorante in Wyckoff, New Jersey. Mandara Bar, Ristorante & Pizzeria is their 11th restaurant. Open seven days a week for lunch and dinner, it features a full bar and two dining areas, with off-premise catering and private dining available.
