Chef Qui Musarra is one of the finest chefs in central PA. There isn't a dish I wouldn't recommend, but if I had to give recognition to one dish I would tell you that "Il Toscano" (the Tuscan Rib-eye) should be on your must have list. When available, the Chuleta and Percebes are also on that list. Mangia!

We went here to try a new place. The restaurant is on a street with no parking. You have to find street parking which can be difficult at times. We went in, and since we had reservations, we were immediately taken upstairs. Our table was overlooking the bar, which was nice, although the table was small. We made do. Joel was a great server. He answered all of our questions and was very helpful with the menu. The food was delicious, although pricey for the portions. My husband ordered a pasta dish from the specials menu. Truffles are expensive, we know that. The pasta serving could have been more..... pasta is inexpensive, we also know that. For $56 the portion was tiny. I had a little taste. I was afraid the taste more for the fact that the portion was so tiny. Their iberico ham is what drew my husband to this restaurant. The tomato pie was amazing in taste, however, we thought the iberico could have been sliced thinner. Similar to shaved ham. The texture would have been a little better. The taste was amazing. We loved the veal and mortadella meatballs. I also loved the Ahi Tuna for dinner. Everything was so tasty. Just be ready for a hefty bill and not be full.

The menu is creative and unique, and everything is delicious. The atmosphere feels like you are at a big family dinner. The "Il Toscano" rib eye will ruin you for any other steak… ever! Plus, the cocktails are a sure bet. Put this on your "must try" list.

It was a delight to be ushered and treated to one of the finest of meals we'd recently enjoyed and that too by the inimitable queen of chefs, Qui, herself. From the superb wine that accompanied the appetizers to the exquisite entrée and fabulous dessert, not a single item was disappointing. The food would have been outstanding on its own merit, but to have Qui's warm, friendly, personal and individualized attention was the icing on the proverbial cake - it made our dining experience, unique (uniquely Qui!) This is a dining spot I cannot wait to return and bring other family and friends. Three cheers to Qui for producing food that is Michelin Star quality.Vegetarian options: Excellent vegetarian-friendly menu.
Being new to the state and the Harrisburg area, we (my mum and I) made a reservation at Mangia Qui after reviewing their online menu that was extraordinarily vegetarian friendly.

Well prepared dishes with interesting twists. The server was well trained and extremely knowledgeable. A bit pricey but then again you get what you pay for. Would definitely return.

Why we didn’t give this 5 stars: despite our waitress being delightful and attentive, there was an issue with the food. We ordered the $68 steak and it was medium instead of medium rare. We never send anything back but did last night because it was our anniversary and the parts of the steak that were less cooked were much better than the more well done parts. But our second steak was also medium, only slightly less done than the first. We ate it and it was good enough if not slightly over salted, but the $68 steak we were hoping for turned out to be more like a $30 steak merely because it was overdone. Our advice: maybe order it rare (if you like it medium rare) and ask for less salt so you can control the amount yourself.Aside from this, the place is great.

We were passing through Harrisburg for just one night and wanted to grab some dinner. This ended up being one of the best meals of our lives! If you're ever in the area, GO!
Intimate atmosphere. Great place for a romantic date night or a celebration. The food was delicious! It was on the pricier side but for a reason.. the quality was on point.. so was the service. Highly recommend!
