Mangia Mangia- Italian Grill

We used to order from here all the time. This time pasta was way overcooked, lasagna was ridiculously small. Turns out it's under new management now.

Gorgeous Christmas tree! Our family of 8 had a wonderful NYE'S Eve dinner here! The service was impeccable, the atmosphere was so cozy and warm. We definitely enjoyed our food and drinks and the complimentary champagne was a beautiful gesture! Thanks so much Mangia, Mangia!

French onion soup, friend zucchini, calamari, bread and butter, service were all a 10/10. Some of the other soups at our table didn't look so appetizing. Ordered pork chop vesuvio. Sauce and potatoes were good ! The pork chops were dry.

My boyfriend took me out to Mangia Mangia because he swore it was the best pasta ever. His family and friends all agreed, so I was excited to try it. The ambience was cute, very old-school, early-2000s Italian vibes. The appetizer was phenomenal: we ordered calamari, he had the onion soup, and I had the broccoli soup, and everything tasted amazing.

But then the entrée came. I ordered the vodka pasta with gnocchi pasta, and at first I thought maybe it was just me… but after reading reviews, I realized I wasn’t wrong. The pasta didn’t even taste like pasta. It was super gooey, in huge sticky chunks, and honestly pretty terrible. It had no flavor at all. My boyfriend understood completely he said the restaurant has changed a lot under the new management.

What made it even worse is that for just the two of us, with the tip, the bill came out to almost $100. With those prices, the quality just wasn’t worth it at all.

We order Mangia Mangia for team lunches every so often and it NEVER FAILS. If you’re in the area, stop and eat inside because their bread and olive oil situation is the best way to begin a meal. The amount of gluten-free options are amazing (I was told my colleague) and out of the 12 meals we ordered, not one person was disappointed. Excited to visit again in the near future!
