Rolling meatballs the way Sam's dad taught him
Sam Tino grew up rolling meatballs above his dad's pizzeria in Eugene. He brought that same scratch-made kitchen to Fairhaven — and it's been here ever since.

What our guests are saying
Would highly recommend to friends and family. Bruschetta was great, it had a balsamic glaze that was tasty. I had the cheese tortellini and it was amazing. My date had the pasta with salmon on it and it was very good. Portion sizes were just enough -- not too much and not too little. Our server was great. Even though it was kind of busy (we went on a Friday night) she made sure we were taken care of just right.

This place is great! I ordered the seafood puttanesca, and it was LOADED with clams. Absolutely delicious.
Eric Bennett
Always meets expectations! We have come here for 15-20 years. Always good. Had a wonderful porter the last visit. We had recently returned from 3 weeks in Italy and enjoyed the pizza at Mambo more than any in Italy.
