Butternut squash ravioli - swimming in fat and butter, but not in a good way. IT TASTED HORRIBLE.Spread with meats, cheeses was pretty bad too. It was obvious the meat was very old and already going bad. The only decent thing from the spread was olives and artichokes.. basically, the stuff that was not cooked in this kitchen.It’s supposed to be a sit-down place but they brought out plastic plates..I didn’t expect it to be an amazing Italian place but this was frankly inedible and vile.

As an Italian, like all Italians who are typically very demanding with food, I can say that here you can find excellent dishes, with typical original recipes, without the classic "slip into American style", which most Italian restaurants in America have.The staff is very kind, thoughtful and available for suggestions, helping you with the choice of food.Absolutely recommended, if you want to try real Italian cuisine, with original products.

Great Italian food. Atmosphere is cozy. Service was very good. We had a friendly waiter. It's great having a nice restaurant like this in Salinas. I will be going back.

Never got to eat. Nobody came to our table to serve us and the menu was very limited. We just left and went to the new pizza place next door. Needs more choices and better service. All the time three employees were hanging out up front chatting.

Super cute Italian restaurant. I enjoyed my Bolognese. The portions are more than plenty and the fresh bread they bring to the table is amazing. I would definitely go back here.

Great vibe! Got the tomato bisque, which was zesty and flavorful. Fresh ricotta with bread plate was delicious and satisfying. Great location in downtown area and a fun spot.

I had dinner with 2 friends tonight and our servers Francesca and Christy took excellent care of us all. They were warm, friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and wine list. Food was incredible! We will definitely be back. I highly recommend Mangia to anyone looking for an excellent Italian restaurant! Can't wait to go back. Thank you to you both!

Service was excellent and my soup was amazing! Had a little tummy ache earlier but had to meet up with one of my gfs of mine to give her belated bday gift. Her entree looked amazing. But my soup really hit the spot and had to get my Dauo Cab which helped my tummy aches. Thanks for allowing us to catch up and closing it down. Defiantly would come back again!
everything & i mean everything was so tasty !!! the wine menu was great, fun variety of different pastas, mains & desserts. & all VERY delicious ! they even put fancy balsamic drizzles on the edge of the plates, i mean come on! stop reading & go to dinner here already :)

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!

I enjoyed a beautiful birthday dinner with friends. This place is amazing, hospitable hosts, delicious dishes, beautiful presentation, wide wine list and wonderful dessert. I recommend this place to everyone! I will definitely return again and again.Bruschetta Classica, Pasta Mangia, simply delicious.
