Excellent service. Excellent and very fresh food. Very authentic and desserts are wonderful.
Food is very good. Bread is great. Our only complaint was that we waited at the door for 7 minutes before a hostess greeted us. After seating us, no one came to bring bread or water or ask for drink orders for just shy of 20 minutes. I seriously considered leaving. It was NOT busy. Once our waiter, Justice, came, things got much better and she even got us extra bread to take home. So…redemption!
Delicious freshly prepared Italian cuisine: wonderful bread, olive oil and herbs, pasta, and sauce. Desserts are out of this world! Our server, Justice, was excellent! Very knowledgeable about the food, responsive to our requests, and friendly. Highly recommend!
Made reservations last night to try this local restaurant for the first time. First disappointment was not being greeted timely when we arrived. Second was being ignored for service for over a half hour. That's when we decided to leave. Walked past at least 4-5 employees, still no interaction except for the guy behind the counter(cooking I think). He wished us a good evening. I guess they didn't need the business with only three tables with customers, us being one. Rex's appreciated our business and their food was excellent! Sorry Mangia, I hope you treat other customers better.
Went to Mangia last night gor my daugthers birthday. Wow, what a great dining experience. Wait staff was great and very attentive. While veal marsala was not on the menu( my favorite dish), I asked the waitress if it was possible yo have it made for me, no problem. Everything from beginning to dessert was excellent, the chef Fabio even came to our table at the end of desert to ask us how everything was and thanked us for coming in. We will definitely enjoy going back again. Thank you for the great dining experience.
Food was good but the service was very poor
Absolutely delicious. Spaghetti sauce was outstanding best sauce around. Steak was tender and flavorful. And each side was delicious that came with the meals. Definitely will be back.
Ordered for the first time and was not disappointed. The food not only tasted amazing but looked wonderful as well. I will definitely be coming back with friends and family.
Pricey.
Excellent staff, friendly and helpful. Large menu to fulfill almost anyone's needs. Great atmosphere with plenty of seating. Loved the Spaghetti and fresh Clams! Fresh homemade pasta and items sold to go as well. I will stop back.

Been coming for a few years now. Valentines day dinner for my wife and 2 daughters was the worst restaurant experience i ever had in my life.
Got there are 440pm, not to busy in our section at all. The new unexperienced waitress came and asked what drinks we'd like. Gave her our drinks and appetizers. She never gave us our bread so we just looked at our dipping oil for over 45min. Our appetizers show up at 530pm and we still never got our drinks. 3 sodas and a Margarita. Almost a hour later we got our bread and drinks after complaining. My wife's Margarita had 2 bugs floating in it. I had to take it to the bar myself because the waitress was no place to be found and stand there waiting for 20 more minutes for the manager. The chef came out and tells me yeah no problem give him another drink and walks away. 2 servers later saying please make him a Margarita. Get the new drink and I spill it all over my hand and dress shirt so I can serve my own table. My poor 10 year old daughter who loves the bread and oil which we almost never got received got her dinner which was spaghetti with butter and parm. Her plate had 3inchs of liquid in it. When she lifted the spaghetti it was dripping all over. My wife's eggplant was absolutely mushy and tasted so nasty. Her spaghetti was hard and crusty. She didn't even eat a 1/4 of her meal. My chicken parm, all i can say is wow. I had a soggy single chicken breat the size of the palm of your hand with literally 2 fork fills of spaghetti which was hard and crusty. My wife and daughters literally left to the car while I had to wait another 30 minutes to be check out and be charge almost 200 dollars for this service. While being charged i watched the waitress literally cry while checking me out, felt so bad gave her the highest cash tip I ever gave. We left to the nearest fast food place which was moes down the street. Absolutely horrible experience and will not be returning again.
I took my partner here for valentines day because we previously ate here and enjoyed it. This time we were fairly dissapointed because it took 15 minutes to get seated despite having a reservation. Afterwards It took about 10 minutes to get water and a drink menu to the table.
The food did arrive quickly and our server was very kind and helpful however the pasta was over cooked, the sauces were bland, the clams were flavourless, and the fried/toasted ravioli kinda tasted like microwaved mozzerella sticks. Overall, not worth 100 dollars.
We ordered pizza, and it was delicious!
Food was undercooked, pizza was soggy cold and cheese was falling off like pepperoni cups. pasta tasted like pasta water and butter and pepper. Pasta had hard bits like it was 2-3 days old and I Called and chef said that’s just how the sauce is made. Host was pleasant and said she would call door dash to try and make it right. Appreciate her for that.
I had an incredible experience at Mangia under new management. I was shocked because it was a stark improvement from my last visit about 2 yrs ago. I almost never set foot in there again because my first impression was so bad.
It now LOOKS better, the ambience is amazing! Service is high end, the food is gourmet and that's an understatement. Full bar will skilled mixoligists. I felt star struck meeting Chef and being able to offer my compliments. This is my go to place for every special occasion!
