I loved it! We went for our 2nd year anniversary and the food was delicious. The menu on instagram says pizza however there was no pizza. So just a heads up!

Went to Mangia last night for dinner, it was hands down the best Italian food I have had. The prices were so reasonable, the portion size was large, the atmosphere is very “homie” and the owners are a complete delight. My husband had a 34oz. T-Bone, it was so reasonable, we enjoyed appetizers, gnochi, ravioli, seafood, wine and good company. This is a definite must go to if you are in the mood for Italian.

Food is pretty good and fresh cooked. Asparagus was done adente as was the fettuccine with mushroom sauce. Very tasty mushroom sauce. The trip tip was tender but very noticeably over-salted. We enjoyed a wonderful chianti, and the server was most pleasant.

I was so excited to finally eat at this place after hearing the great reviews. Me, my husband and our two kids walked in so excited. There was no seating, we said we would wait. The only place that had available seating was the bar area(which was completely EMPTY) We asked the host if we could sit there while we wait and she said that we could. She proceeded to give the kids some crayons and paper. I’m assuming it was the manager, but the rude, and loud woman came up to us and yelled “you cannot sit there, the kids cannot be up there” then proceeded with “it’s not our law, it’s the law” I was so embarrassed. We don’t drink so we didn’t even think of it being an issue because we were just waiting and if this is a law then your staff could have told us we weren’t able to sit there. I will never return to this place. If there was an issue she could have told us respectfully and quietly. But she yelled and everyone heard. So embarrassing. Shame on that lady
