I recently visited Casa Mangiare for their Easter Brunch, excited to finally try out this highly anticipated restaurant. However, my experience fell short of expectations in several key areas.Firstly, the ambience of the restaurant was delightful, creating a pleasant atmosphere for the Easter celebration. The décor and setting were inviting, adding to the overall dining experience.Unfortunately, the same praise cannot be extended to the food. While the presentation of desserts was commendable, the main dishes left much to be desired. The food was lackluster, lacking in flavor and freshness. Disappointingly, many of the dishes were barely warm, detracting from the enjoyment of the meal.One particular disappointment was the shrimp bisque, which tasted scorched and failed to meet expectations. It was evident that attention to detail in cooking and flavor was lacking.Despite having Casa Mangiare on my list of must-try restaurants for some time, I regret to say that this visit did not live up to the hype. The overall experience was underwhelming, and I have no plans to return in the future.In conclusion, while Casa Mangiare may excel in ambiance and dessert presentation, its Easter Brunch left much to be desired in terms of food quality and taste. For those seeking a memorable dining experience, I would recommend exploring other options.

This is literally the best food I have ever had. Chloe was a phenomenal server, and the staff was so nice. My husband and I had the braised short rib, also. This place is absolutely amazing.

Jazz and blues music plays softly in the background and the staff is capable, friendly, and unobtrusive. Delicious dishes are authentic Italian with a few concessions to American customs. My ravioli stuffed with braised beef from spare ribs was excellent, filling, and not unlike something I would find in a non-touristy part of Rome. The Tuscan salad with straciatella cheese took me back to Sienna. The fried calamari appetizer was tender with a crunchy crust.The wine list is excellent.When I want to have a special dinner in College Station, casa Mangiare is a top choice.

Finally a proper restaurant!Perfect portions, balanced flavors, fresh, all topped off with a nice atmosphere. And Branca Menta was needed in the city! Well done!If you want your Alfredo Pasta, don't go: cause this is Italian food made right, not what you probably expect, if you are an Olive Garden fanatic (sorry, not sorry).Flavor, portions, seasoning everything on point!
The experience was good, it's not really an Italian Restaurant. I would say it's more of a steak house with a few Italian options. Sure they give you a focaccia with olive oil at the table but that doesn't make you Italian. They do have pizza on the menu but again that doesn't make you automatically Italian. They need to improve there Arancini, if I went back I wouldn't order that again.

The food and the service were very good during my recent visit. I enjoyed the elevated Italian seafood items on the menu. Sophisticated ambiance without being stuffy. What a "great catch" for College Station.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Casa Mangiare for their Sunday brunch, and I must say, it was an amazing experience From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that set the tone for the rest of the meal.The freshness of the ingredients used in the dishes was evident in every bite. The food was not only delicious but also beautifully presented.The drinks were equally impressive. The cocktail menu was extensive, and the bartender was more than happy to recommend a drink that perfectly complemented my meal.The service was impeccable. The staff was attentive and friendly, and they went out of their way to ensure that my dining experience was nothing short of perfect. From the moment I sat down until the moment I left, I felt like a valued guest.Overall, my experience was nothing short of amazing. The food, drinks, atmosphere, and service were all top-notch, and I can't wait to go back again soon. If you're looking for a restaurant that offers a truly exceptional dining experience, look no further .

Fantastic restaurant. Great menu. Great service. Table side bar service was a unique twist. It isn't your typical Italian restaurant. It's got the pasta, but it doesn't have traditional Italian meals. Good spot to celebrate a special occasion or just grab a really good meal.
