Jenny was our server and she took such great care of us. From providing menu recommendations to keeping the food flowing, she really added to our dining experience. My husband had a really nice caesar salad with salmon on top that he loved. I enjoyed the spicy rigatoni with fried chicken and it was very good and plentiful. I couldn't finish my meal so now I have a nice portion of leftovers in the freezer when I have my pasta craving. Tiramisu dessert and a perfect cappuccino was also very good-- so much food and so good. We will definitely be back.

The meatballs was very tender , well balanced with the tomato sauce that's not too acidic. The sauce was not heavy at all and I love the fresh basil. The chicken parm , which I don't normally order was recommended by the server and did not disappoint. It was tender, moist chicken cutlet with crispy, flavorful breading, balanced by a vibrant, not too salty or acidic marinara sauce and, melted mozzarella, served with rigatoni. The desserts we got were super delicious and not too sweet. We had a 5 pm reservation and was able to self park on their lot.

Ambiance was casual with families, couples, etc. There is a good amount of seating inside but reservations are highly recommended. 1. Wine list - Huge huge Italian wine list with smaller names and unfamiliar names. Did my research and got a bottle of rosso montalcino ($69) which was excellent to pair 2. Meatballs - tender, doesn't fully fall apart but light and almost melts in your mouth. Sauce is light but full of flavor 3. Eggplant parm - not spicy even though supposed to be spicy rigatoni with it. Huge portion. Took half home. Pasta was delicious with enough sauce and al denté as I like 4. Tiramisu - one of the better ones I've had. Not alcoholic. Moist and excellent balance of layers. Shaved chocolate on top is a nice touch 5. Chocolate torte - deliciously creamy and lighter than I thought. Full chocolate flavor. Comes with a fior di latte gelato which was high quality. Overall an excellent high quality Italian dinner. No wonder why it's hard to get weekend reservations. Highly recommended and will definitely be back when in Red Bank and craving Italian.

This is clearly not the restaurant's fault but wow was it loud. I wish we could have sat outside but it was a bit chilly. We started with a 'Watermelon Mint Cooler' and 'Frozen Strawberry Margarita' - both were mocktails. They were both delicious and refreshing. My husband got the meatballs for his appetizer and I got the Caprese salad. He loved the appetizer and I loved mine. You cannot go wrong with Caprese salad in my opinion. For our entrees, he got the 'Bistecca alla Pizzaiola" which was a steak with tomato, garlic and red wine with potatoes. It was really good. The steak was very tender. I got the 'Ravioli Limoncello' which was Ravioli in a Lemon cream sauce. I am not a huge lemon fan but this was great. We ended with the 'Carrot Cake' and the 'Toasted Almond' cake - both were delicious as well. Everything was great. The service was quick, attentive and very friendly. I would definitely come back and would recommend. Next time though, I'm sitting outside if I see a big party though!

The atmosphere is great for friends, family or a couple for a casual night out. It's a BYOB so you can bring your choice of wine, beer along and in today's world, it's nice to save on alcohol . Also I drink organic so I'm so happy to enjoy it with my meal. I am GF so my choices are somewhat limited, but was able to have some options. I had the beet salad, the salmon minus the polenta, and the pistachio and chocolate ice cream. I absolutely loved the beet salad, I thought the salmon was ok. (The piece was very small & did not taste great.) I also thought it would have been nice to replace the polenta with rice or more veggies. Next time I would try something else. The ice cream was very good. My fellow diners liked their appetizers, meals, and desserts. The service by Emily was very good & she was sweet and personable. I definitely would try this place again and opt for another main course, but all in all I liked it.

I was on time and kept waiting for about 15 minutes with no apology or explanation. Someone had left tools (odd) and a coat on the bench in the entry way which took up almost the entire seating area and when I asked the hostess, she said "they belong to someone"... ok obviously. She did not move them or try to be helpful or understanding that there was no where for our party to sit while we were kept to wait. There is no shortage of good Italian food in Monmouth county, and this place certainly isn't cheap for what they're offering. After the rude treatment, I won't be returning. I'd rather spend my money at an establishment that treats customers with respect.

The fried ravioli were OK. For pizza, we ordered half barbecue chicken, half cheese and it was delicious! Even for next day leftovers which isn't always the case for every pizzeria. The service was great - friendly and welcoming. Ambience is chill, laidback - you can sit outdoors or indoors. Indoors had a couple booths and some tables with chairs set up comfortably with a/c for any hot summer day looking for some cool air. Will definitely stop by again if we're in the area.

The Red Bank location is decorated nicely, very intimate and is a BYOB. The menu is the same. Katelyn provided outstanding service. The food is very good. Red Sauce Italian and they do it well. The baked clams are my favorite. The eggplant rollatini is very good. The Spedini was less successful as they prepared it like Mozzarella en Carozza with the Anchovy caper sauce. The dish should be prepared as a loaf as opposed to a sandwich style. I will definitely add Via Sposito into my Italian rotation as the prices are reasonable, the service is excellent and the food is good. I will try their pizza next. Parking on the street in the off season is easy, during the summer parking can be very difficult. There is a garage within a 5 minute walk.

They also charge you for bags which was the weirdest thing I have seen at a neighborhood deli. Just add a $0.50 to the sandwich rather than charge for the bag.

It was Friday late afternoon and overall, fairly empty. We started with a sangria flight, which can be shared. I gotta say their seasonal sangria, the watermelon, was the best of the three! We chose Tuna Crudo and Shishito Peppers as our apps. The Tuna Crudo was just ok, but we throughly enjoyed the shishito peppers! We also split the Pollo Pizza which was perfectly crispy and cheesy. All in all, good food and fairly priced. We'll be back again soon and looking forward to trying some of their other tapas

For dinner, my friends and I opted to share a variety of tapas, which our server did a nice job in timing out so that they wouldn't overcrowd our table all at once. All the dishes were fantastic, but the standouts for me were the seared octopus (deliciously charred!) and bacon wrapped dates (addicting little sweet & savory bites). When we were ordering, we were also curious about the paella, but in the end, the minimum order of 2 servings at $29-35pp felt too high. Drink options are plentiful, and we were surprised that not only do they offer pitchers of sangria, but also spritzes. We ordered the Hugo Spritz (light, refreshing elderflower spritz), and the pitcher was just perfect for sharing for 4. Lovely spot overall, and would love to come back again for a nice dinner out.

It didn't come from the glass display, but pulled from a shelf underneath. It was heated for about a minute. I headed to my car after paying and realized that it wasn't piping hot. I didn't feel like walking back for more reheating and I was hungry so I ate it. I ended up with food poisoning. Once it was out my system (I threw up for about 10 mins and other stuff) I felt better. I Googled if one can get food poisoning from pizza and the answer is yes! When sitting out for hours it develops bacteria. Heating it thoroughly can help kill that bacteria. The only good thing that came out of this was that I lost 2lbs overnight. I won't be back. I suggest that you make sure your pizza is heated thoroughly.

Mangia is not far from Monmouth University, so we decided to give it a try. We were immediately impressed with the cleanliness of the restaurant, especially the dining area. Located in a strip mall with a lot of foot traffic, it's perfect for takeout or casual dining in. I did see a room where I imagine there are catered events. We ordered 6 slices of pizza, 4 margherita, 1 one pepperoni, and 1 white. The individual that assisted us was pleasant enough, answering our questions in very general terms. The only thing I did not care for was that they used their bare hands when pulling our slices for the oven. (I don't eat the crust when I see this.) Overall, we were deeply satisfied with our slices. Mangia is not heavy on the garlic, which I appreciated. The ingredients were hearty, so each slice was fresh and fulfilling. I would definitely come back and try other items if I'm in the area.
