Behind the name

In the early 2000s, Damian and Trina Mandola moved to the Austin area. Damian Mandola told Community Impact his dream was to create a space that offered a restaurant, gelato, coffee and pastries all under one roof; resulting in Mandola’s.

The couple also owns Trattoria Lisina, a Tuscan-inspired Italian restaurant in Driftwood. The pair have frequented Italy over the years, and Damian Mandola is also Sicilian American, according to previous Community Impact reporting.
