Born in Milan, Mendicino began his career in Rome with the successful Lazio youth system. Playing as a centre-forward and earmarked as a potential future-Luca Toni, Mendicino was touted as a key member of Lazio's future.

During the summer transfer of 2010, Lazio loaned him to Ascoli with the option to switch from loan to 50% co-ownership for €1,5 Million euros. He made his debut during Coppa Italia return match on August 15, 2010 against Lumezzane scoring the first goal of the match just after 6 minutes, whilst he played his first competitive Serie B game for Ascoli on August 22, 2010 in their 0–0 tie against Grosseto.
On July 4, 2013, he moved on loan to Lega Pro Prima Divisione club Salernitana.[4]
