Ciao Mambo opens its doors Monday, in downtown Spokane

Spokane's new downtown Ciao Mambo restaurant opens its doors to the public on Monday.

Dinner hours start at 4 p.m. until close. It's open seven days a week.

This is Spokane's first Ciao Mambo. Ciao Mambo is a network of restaurants managed by  Whitefish, Mont.-based Glacier Restaurant Group.

Here's a photo taken during recent last-finishing touchups of the interior. The space, 818 W. Riverside, was formerly used by Washington Mutual Bank, and we have a feeling Ciao Mambo will turn out a little better than WaMu did.

In May the restaurant will offer lunch service, said Jim Elkins and Brad Townsend, company managers for Glacier Restaurant Group.
