Mangia Mi East

Delicious Italian dinner at Mangia Mi! my husband had the Bolognese I had the Osso Buco veal special. Both were fantastic! We had no room left but managed to eat the amazing chocolate chip bread pudding for dessert….save room & go hungry!

REPLY TO OWNER: Fresh pasta is not the issue. You don’t let people wait over an hour before you inform them that you are going to run out of pasta. That’s just really BAD management. Every restaurant that we, or anyone, goes to, if they’re running out of something they tell you BEFORE you put in the order. We put in the order and we were NOT informed that we were not getting our food until an hour and a half until we were sat. And it is completely untrue that we were offered other things. In fact, part of our order was not a pasta dish and we did not receive that either. It was a sausage and peppers. The tone of your response made the decision is easier to never go back. Good luck staying open. ORIGINAL REVIEW: Don’t waste your time or money. We went there last night and it took them 35-4

So I’ve been coming here for the past few months at a minimum of one or two times a week. I can’t get over the sauce on the pizza. I always end up getting the Margherita pie which I just can’t stop ordering! I think I’m going to get something else when I come, but end up ordering that because damn! I always sit at the bar, which is cool because you can literally watch them cook and feel like you’re part of it! The bartender is a favorite, as she remembers me when I come in and I don’t understand how she manages everything going on! Look forward to it every time I head in! Kudos for the drink recommendations from the bartender as I haven’t been left disappointed yet!

Food quality / price (value) rating 8.5. The atmosphere is casual but upscale. The menu is well rounded with several standard Italian dishes with a contemporary slant. We both chose the Halibut special. It was prepared and presented nicely. The service was very good. We sat outside on their beautiful Victorian porch. The dishes are served a la carte, no bread or salad, which always feels a little disappointing. The beers were reasonably priced, and they have a Happy Hour Monday through Thursday. Two halibut dinners, one wine and two beers came to $120 plus tip.

Fresh Pesto was amazing w mozzarella and tomatoes My first visit so had to try the chicken parm which was great. Fresh chicken can cut w a fork. Great service and super friendly staff
