Mangia Bistro and Bar offers New York–style Italian cuisine right here in Scranton, and it absolutely delivers! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm, modern, and welcoming — the perfect mix of upscale and comfortable.
I started with the Lobster Bisque, which was smooth, creamy, and full of rich, buttery flavor. You can taste the freshness in every bite. For my entrée, I had the Pollo San Pietro — a perfectly cooked breast of chicken topped with Prosciutto di Parma, eggplant, sweet peas, and fresh mozzarella, all brought together with a tomato demi sauce. It was an absolute standout — the flavors blended beautifully, and every detail was spot-on.
To round out the meal, I enjoyed a Limoncello Spritz from the bar — light, refreshing, and perfectly balanced. The service was attentive and friendly without being overbearing, and the staff made us feel right at home.

Amazing experience! Great food, great service and good variety. My family and I were unsure of what to expect on our spontaneous dinner but were quickly met with some of the best food we have had in the area. Very happy with our service as well as the cleanliness of the restaurant. We even forgot our leftovers and the owner brought it out to us. How nice! Thanks for the meal Mangia Bistro & Bar, we will be returning again soon!

I don't like giving reviews on the first or second visit, but after dining several times at Mangia, it's time to give a review. The outside is unassuming but don't let that deter you. Once inside, the ambience is refined in a simple way. There is always good music playing also. All the staff is friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable about the dishes on the menu. The food is excellent. It is prepared as good Italian and Spanish food should be. Simply. It is flavorful and cooked to perfection. It is not overly salted, spiced or cheesy, so you know the chef knows what he is doing. The portions are more than adequate for the prices charged. We have tried the specials as well as regular menu items. All were delicious. The bar is well stocked and the cocktail specials are hand crafted using real fruits and juices. We have never gotten sick from the food and have never been disappointed. Everything is freshly prepared. We drive an hour to eat here and it is well worth the drive. Scranton is lucky to have this restaurant.

Had such a great dinner at Mangia Bistro! I ordered the chicken parm and an arugula salad that was on special—both were super tasty and the portions were really generous (you definitely won’t leave hungry). Prices are very reasonable for the quality too.
The wine pours were no joke—nice and heavy, which is always appreciated. Service was outstanding from start to finish, and the whole vibe of the place is so relaxed and comfortable.
All around an awesome spot for good food, good wine, and great service. Can’t wait to go back!

Food was delicious and service was great! Will be back.
You may drive by this place many times but I suggest you stop and go in and try it. You will not be disappointed! The food is excellent with new specials all the time. The service is quick, and the prices are reasonable. We are quickly becoming regulars here. As they say " Try it, you'll like it!", and I say " You'll love it!"

This restaurant was seriously unbelievably amazing! The food was so good when I think about it my mouth waters! The Penne Ala Vodka was amazing and delicious, was the Buccatini ala Carbonara, Cavatelli with Italian Sausages, and Oso Buco. The desert was incredible, And I loved the Tiramisu, which was delicious. The service was also amazing, And the manager was extremely kind and friendly! The atmosphere is incredible and fancy( Attached photo bellow). I look forward to coming back to this place! If you are looking for a place with quality food and service, then come here!
