I did take pictures but had eaten a bit of it first so sorry about that. Let me say the portions were large and everything was hot and delicious!! My mom had a 20oz ground round with pepper and onion and she said it was cooked perfectly (medium rare) and delicious! The salad (though simple) was delicious with their Italian dressing. I had the Feast consisting of braciole, sausage, meatball (homemade!) and homemade pasta with the main meat of Veal Parmesan. It came with a salad and soup choice. My options were minestrone or pasta fagioli. (We also ordered chicken wings for my husband to go) our bill was so insanely low, I was shocked! Service was amazing and she clearly loved working there since she provided me with some details about the place making it a wonderful experience! Definitely worth the trip! The space is large enough that you aren't on top of other tables and they have a beautiful bar in one room with tables as well as 2 additional rooms for large groups. Upstairs is additional space for bigger parties.

Old-fashioned family type Italian place from the 50s. Very large, but mostly open space and dark…read more The restaurant presents itself as a high class dining spot, but really it's fairly mediocre. Think overdone, pasta, hard meatballs, sliced white bread with garlic spread as garlic bread. The Cesar salad was chopped iceberg lettuce with lots of goopy dressing and a few store-bought croutons. Like everywhere around here, prices are fairly low. On the other hand, they seem to push the extra dollar, even charge three dollars for soda water from their fountain. Unless you want a throwback in history, there are better Italian restaurants in the area.

So the wife and I found ourselves in Owego, and didn't want to do the burgers and fries thing at a…read moreMcDonald's or somewheres, we checked on Google and found this little Greek restaurant. The prices look really reasonable so we figured we'd give it a shot. When we arrived, the storefront didn't look like anything special, nothing really appealing to bring someone in, just kind of blended in with the rest of the block... And after entering, it still didn't really reach out and grab us. Not a lot of decoration, a few tables with chairs and a couple of booths, and a counter to order from which is perfectly fine but I didn't know having never been there if they had a wait staff or anything. So we looked over the menu for a minute and ordered a couple of dishes. My wife I believe had a chicken and lamb platter, and I had the fish platter. So far up to this point everything was fine but nothing was really over the top awesome, and then we sat down and ate. Oh my gosh that food was good. My wife absolutely loves tzatziki sauce which of course they had, and the chicken and lamb was served with rice and you get choices like lettuce and tomato and hummus and chickpeas that they can add to your platter. My fish platter was incredible. Her and I both commented a couple times to the gentleman at the counter that the fish was cooked perfectly. It was nice and lite and flaky and I wish there were more than just the two pieces on there. The price of everything did not break the bank by any means, and they do offer wraps, burgers, and breakfast items. We will definitely be returning customers...

For an entree my wife ordered the gnocchi with vodka sauce and a side order of shrimp. It was terrific. I ordered the ribeye. It was pretty good. I would say average. I think the onions could have been sautéed a little more but that is just nitpicking. It was a very good steak. We had the blueberry cheesecake for desert and it was great. The service was absolutely second to none. Our server was tremendous. Really elevated the dinner. Our only complaint was that it was a little close seating and there was a very loud gentleman sitting next to us who was swearing and being lewd. Normally doesn't bother me any but didn't like it during my anniversary dinner (and in front of my wife). We will definitely be back.

I love Mangialardo's because it's like stepping into a time capsule--into a style of restaurant that is totally gone in large cities, and almost gone everwhere else. Don't get me wrong; the food is excellent and the service is always perfect, but you won't find gluten-free pasta or modern fusion dishes on the menu (although gluten-free bread is available). It's a good, standard, Southern Italian menu, such as was ubiquitous at American Italian restaurants in the nineteen sixties, with prices that are unusually low. Set unassumingly near the tracks, where it has been for the forty years I've been going there (and I suspect for its entire 92 years of existence), this place is run by the third generation of Mangialardos. This is not a surprise; walking in, you will see a bar side with booths and a dining room side with tables. Italian-themed artwork, and a large, lighted portrait of Nonna Mangialardo grace the walls. Low ambient lighting, warm-colored carpet and decor, and Jerry Vale singing "Al di Là." What could be better? Don't go to Mangialardo's to satify or show off your worldly culinary tastes; go to Mangialardo's to experience what Mangialardo's is and has been for nearly a century. A family-run delight.
