Mondello's: America's Best Restaurants Roadshow Comes to Magnolia

Mondello's in Magnolia Village will be in the spotlight Wednesday when the America's Best Restaurants Roadshow visits the restaurant from 2-5 p.m.

Owner Sofana Laible will be featured as the production team films an episode highlighting the locally owned restaurant, its food, and its story.

America's Best Restaurants is a popular online series that travels the country showcasing independent restaurants. The Roadshow's hosts visit neighborhood eateries, sample signature dishes, interview owners and chefs, and share the stories behind the businesses. Hosts include Theo Williams, Ashley Dawn, Luis Rivera, Amanda Valentine, and J Russell.

The public is invited to stop by Mondello's during filming and get a behind-the-scenes look at how the show is produced. Maybe you'll be in the show. Sofana says, stop by early for lunch.

Mondello's is located at 2425 33rd Avenue W. in Magnolia Village.
