This story begins the way most lasting ones do: in moments shared across a table. For Frank Mandaro, hospitality wasn’t a business first. It was a passion born out of countless conversations, late nights, and the simple joy of seeing people connect over food.

He built his life across industries, but the spark was always there: a love for the craft of dining, for the hum of a restaurant in full swing, for the feeling that a well-run place could make strangers into friends. Hospitality wasn’t just a career move. It was the heartbeat behind everything he pursued.

Today, that spirit carries forward. The next generation has taken up the mantle, shaping Mandaro Hospitality around the same principles Frank lived by: grit, discipline, and an unwavering belief in the power of food to bring people together.

Mandaro Hospitality is more than a company. It is the continuation of a legacy, built not only on success and failure, but on the enduring truth that hospitality is about belonging, and that the best stories are written around a table.
