Every time we cater people want to know where it's from and want to go for a dining visit. Their lasagna, chicken parm, eggplant parm, anything with marinara sauce is wonderful!

REVIEW UPDATE 2/2/24: Partner and I made it back here tonight and the service was good, the food…read moreamazing and everything was quick and easy. By far an improvement and we will be back! The food was amazingly good--one of the best italian places I've had in a while. Our service was subpar. We were a group of 5 people all around the age of 23-24, and it seemed like our server just assumed that made all his shortcomings okay because he tried to act kind of bro-like with us. There were multiple periods of time where we were left alone for anywhere from 10 minutes to 40. It took us a LONG time to get our food even though we were one of maybe 4 parties in the restaurant. One friend got told they were out of something, ordered something else, and the waiter went, "that's a joke, right?" and told him they were out of that too. His entree came out almost a full 30-40 minutes after the rest of ours so he just packed it up to-go. Only a halfhearted apology that everything was taking so long and no type of compensation. The food was good enough that I would go back to try again since partner and I live in the area. But i really hope we don't get this guy as our server again.

I gave a 1 star review because the Turkish dips in this Italian plus Turkish restaurant…read more The restaurant had only 2 tables to serve (6 guests in all. 4 of which were us) We were 4 of us at dinner & ordered 3 main dishes. Spaghetti Bolognese, Spicy Chicken Sauté & a vegetarian platter. Had an Italian eaten the spaghetti bolognese, he would have jumped off a cliff. The meat chunks were big & there must have been a max of 2 tablespoons of meat in the whole dish. The spicy chicken sauté was tough & rubbery. Both the dishes were made from a can of tomato sauce. No flavor in any dish. The vegetarian platter had some frozen falafels that were deep fried & served with the same 2 dips & some rice. The cheekiest part was the waiter add a 20% gratuity to the bill. I would never go back or recommend anyone go there.

I came here during December and tried their festive lunch menu. We ordered the Bruschetta Duo and…read morethe Spicy Rigatoni Vodka, and both were really delicious and tasted fresh. I particularly liked the bruschetta because it was quite different from a traditional bruschetta. It came with roasted cherry tomato and house-made ricotta on one, and roasted butternut squash, Brussels sprout leaves and crushed hazelnut on the other. I really enjoyed trying something a little different! The Spicy Rigatoni Vodka was also really good, with Italian sausage, crispy pancetta, shaved garlic, basil and Grana Padano. Service overall was great. Our waitress was super friendly and checked on us throughout the meal to make sure we were happy with everything. The restaurant was buzzing when we visited for lunch on a Saturday, but there was still plenty of seating. It's nice and bright inside and located in a great area with plenty of parking. I'd definitely come back!

I've eaten at other locations a few times before and have been pretty satisfied, and their Legacy West spot is in a great location and looks great inside too. Aiden was our server and was pretty friendly and attentive. We were the first group in which probably helped too. We ordered some coffee and a nice spread of brunch plates and also the donuts on the side that were absolutely fresh and delicious. I really enjoyed my Americano breakfast plate with the grilled bread, and the very unique and delicious hash brown balls. We also had an avocado toast that was light and fresh and a pasta dish I can't remember the name of that was also great. Nothing really blew my mind but the food here is consistently great and I'll have to give some more dishes a shot. Overall, a really nice experience and the ambiance is great for any occasion. This location is nice as you have plenty of other shops to explore and a scenic strip to walk through.

The chairs had medium-thick vinyl cushions with a semi-soft feel. Our server April,arrived promptly. I asked her a couple of questions about the menu and let know that we woiuld order when everyone else arrived. Bread and a garlic-olive oil sauce were brought out while we waited. I ordered the Bronzino, which is a European Sea-Bass. It comes with, pasta and a choice of House or Caesar Salad. I went with the House Salad and it was excellent.It was topped with fresh tomatoes, olives, onion, cucumber and a sweet,tangy vinaigrette. The bronzino can be seared, grilled, or baked; I chose grilled. It's served "floating" in a rich sauce with rice-shaped pasta and broccoli. The fish was flavorful, though a bit softer than I expect from grilled. I would've also prefered slightly less salt on the pasta, Overall I give Mangia's 4 stars for service, food, ambience, and decor. I'd definitly come back to try more of their many dishes.

It's been awhile since I have had it. It's not as good as I remember. I do appreciate the amount of shrimp, lobster and mushrooms in the dish. The flavor just doesn't blow me away like it use to. The salad is simple, but good and I enjoy the onions and cucumbers. Overall it was a good experience! It was wonderful to visit this classic spot in the neighborhood.

It's hard to find Real carbonara out anymore. I don't know if it's the eggs in there that restaurants or people are worried about it but I don't have a problem with that at all. All that said, this was a great dish. Had the chicken carbonara with fettuccini and it could not have been done better. It was a special that night and I hope the put it on the menu permanently. Drinks were good as well. I'll be back. More often if carbonara gets on the menu :-)

My first experience here wasn't the best, so I was curious to see how a second visit would compare…read more A friend was moving out of town and wanted to come here, so I decided to give it another try and order completely different dishes. We started with the focaccia bread (5/5). Wow--this might be some of the best bread I've ever had. Perfectly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and the dip was delicious. I usually try not to fill up on bread before the entrées arrive, but we made sure to finish every bite. We also ordered the burrata salad (5/5), which was a very generous portion and absolutely delicious. I would definitely order it again. For our entrées, my friend and I shared the chicken piccata and the bolognese. The chicken piccata was a 5/5 for me, while the bolognese was a 4.5/5. Both dishes were excellent and I'd happily order either again. This visit was a completely different experience from my first one, and I'm glad I came back. I'd love to return with my husband sometime.
