Mangia Bene

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Who goes out during an active blizzard? Apparently… me. I called just to see if they were even open, fully expecting voicemail. Instead, they answered and casually said, “Come on in.” So I did — because apparently my decision-making skills rival the weather forecast. I ended up being the only person there, and instead of treating it like an inconvenience, they welcomed me like a VIP. Warm, friendly, genuinely happy to have me despite the storm raging outside. Everything on the menu is made in house. Yes — even the Dubai Chocolate. I started with the Tuna Tartare. It came out quickly and was beautifully presented: three perfectly toasted slices of bread resting on a bed of lettuce, each crowned with a tall, elegant tower of fresh tuna. Light, balanced, and incredibly flavorful.

Fantastic food! I adored the cavatelli with sausage , the sauce was divine! And the arancini carbonara were bursting with flavor. Everything on the menu was fantastic.

My family visited this place for the first time and we were extremely impressed with the food. We often eat at fine dinning restaurants. We have a pretty good understanding of what good food is supposed to taste like. This place left us impressed with the quality, flavor and presentation of the food. The service was courteous and attentive .The ambiance was excellent with a good selection of 1940's music. The Sunday gravy reminded me of my 91 year old great-grandmother's meal. The octopus was phenomenal. We had other dishes that were amazing too. I highly recommend this place.

With so many options in this area for Italian, this is 100%worth it! We started with tuna tartar(probably one of the best I've ever had). My husband's salmon cooked to perfection (which isn't easy). My white pizza,spinach, artichokes and garlic was deeeee-lish on top of a light crispy dough. Ended our meal with homemade-yup homemade tiramasu(out of bounds fresh and flavorful). ByOB and great service...definitely give it try...you wont regret it! Also had the opportunity to meet the Chef John -local guy with big heart and great recipes to share!

Absolutely delish!!!! We found what may be our new favorite restaurant through an Instagram video today. The appetizers, entrees and desserts were so good. The decor is great and it is BYOB. The owner and staff were so attentive and kept bringing us more and more yummy apps and desserts.
