Mangia Clam Bar - Mushroom tortellini - Italian Near Me - Stuart, Florida

Great atmosphere! The entertainment is great and the food is AMAZING!!! Right on the water. Nothing on the menu has disappointed me.

I'll start by saying our meals and cocktails were fine. our server was great. My husband and I used to be regulars at Mangia's and also the previous restaurant because we live in Stuart. We loved the atmosphere- comfortable dining on the water, music quite often, great staff, good food and drink! Unfortunately, Mangia is no longer our weekly spot. We find ourselves returning less and less. Tonight may have been the last time. Once again the music was so loud, it was yelling not music, we couldn't talk it think. Even our server kept apologizing as she tried to wait on us. ( Usually we seek out rest that have music, but not like this! ) Our server offered to ask the manager, Dave to ask the singer to turn it down a bit. Soon after, Dave walked by our table and very rudely told me that he took care of it! I started to respond; and he said ' I got it!'. In the past my husband and I have been greeted by Scott when we've dined there. The atmosphere is totally different. He is very welcoming and obviously cares. Now we understand why some of our neighbors have stopped coming to Mangias. Dave needs to learn some management and people skills; or he won't have a restaurant to manage for long. read more

This is a comment regarding Mangia's Clam Bar in Port Selarno. We went there Saturday evening for dinner. We got there early and requested a table. The restaurant was relatively empty and were seated. The partner, Dave, lacks customer service. The other partner, who handles the kitchen is extremely personable and accommodating. They should reverse rolls. Dave should go back to his hot dog cart in Brooklyn. When searching other comments regarding the customer service, we're all about Dave's rudeness and lack of customer service. The manager Dave was very rude From the get go. read more

Service was great! But totally bogus when they say they serve sea scallops! I was visiting from Massachusetts and know what a sea scallop looks like. Like snowflakes no two are alike. Yet all the scallops I received were uniform in width and height, like they were processed. And they were overdone. As Charlie Chan would say, "Appearances sometimes deceiving, like wolf in lamb's clothing." read more

It's my new favorite happy hour place! Specials on food bits an nice drink prices. Loved the $10 pizza. Lots to share and even though I'm fussy about my pizza, this one was good. Jason, server and David, bartender are great people too. Will definitely be back read more

Food was ok. Service below average. Waiting for a server for over 10 mins on a slow day, it's just not good. And on top - a fee for using a card. Is that even legal to charge? Just add 50 cents to each meal on the menu... the waitress was clueless to explain what the fee is for... read more

Great lunchtime combos, Great all day specials, food is great, service is good, and it's on the water so what better ambiance could want?

Maybe the Italian menu is good, but the seafood was awful. Went with 3 others for lunch - we were all disappointed. I had a mahi sandwich: two small pieces of fish on a bun with a lettuce leaf and tomato slice The others in the party were not pleased, either. Small portions, inferior quality, poorly presented, prices far too high. We won't be back. There many other places in Port Salerno with much better seafood. read more

Had my first visit last night with friends....the Calamari was tough; my friends' Veal Parm was tough; my Eggplant was so thin I really couldn't taste it with all the sauce and cheese. The Sole Franchaise looked good and the Caesar Salad was good. Except for the Calamari, the entrees included soup or salad, choice of entree, dessert and a soft drink. We won't order from the Early Bird Dinner selections again....obviously the result was Quantity vs. Quality. read more

The location and waterfront view sells this restaurant. Husband ordered the tenderloin handheld with fries. The meat was fatty/chewy and the fries were undercooked. I ordered the mahi handheld. Mahi was very dry and tasteless. House wine was good and the garlic bread appetizer. Wait staff was nice but when we reported the issue with my husband's meal there was no offer to compensate. If we ever go back--bar beverages only. read more

a week ago Friday, my family and I took my 95 year old mom out for dinner. The overall experience was completely horrible then previous visits. There were not a lot of people when we arrived, so we wondered why the service was lacking. The food was so incredibly horrid we were stunned. The clams casino and stuffed mushroom we placed on a dish and a cup of buttery garlic was dumped on. The grouper fingers were so over cooked that my mother couldn't chew them. My son's dish had the same mess as above and couldn't eat it. This was a shame as my mom is a year rounder and it's off our list of places to go on the to dine by the water. read more

I witnessed the owner yelling at a server in front of the host table for me and all around to hear. She was in tears and it broke my heart as she had been our server on a previous visit - she took excellent care of us and in this day and age that is exceptional. It is hard to find good workers who care about their customers, but Britney is one. I can't imagine what she did that day, but it was so unprofessional to dress her down in front of everyone like that. And to carry on and on with the yelling was uncalled for. That guy is in over his head as he can't handle the stress of owning a restaurant in the Pocket. I won't give him any business after that, it was terrible to experience. I hope she finds a better place to work as no one deserves that shitty attitude. read more

Food was excellent! Music was great, nice atmosphere. Staff was very friendly. We will definitely be back. read more

Came for the first time. Food was excellent!! Music was Excellent! I had the clam chowder, definitely home made and fresh, best calamari I've had in Florida. Everything was fabulous. Definitely coming back and bringing others!! Try it. read more

Best food and service and wonderful atmosphere. Drive from Wellington to eat here. Worth the trip!

This used to be called something else, "Manatees" I believe. We had been there several times and it was a fun Florida seafood place. NOT ANYMORE! New owners. It's pizza, pasta and some seafood. The live music was fun, the beer was cold and the waitress did a good job, but the food. The food? Flavorless, even the bread was flavorless, the food had to be out of a bag or can. No way that could've been fresh. Obviously they are catering to a northern crowd from the NJ Philly area with this same caned Italian food they serve up there. They'll never get my dollar again. It's a shame how they have missed the boat completely. You come to the Florida coast for seafood, not pizza and pasta. And the place is still cute, but empty. Something should've told me not to go in... they get one star for the music, cold beer and the waitress who was on top of everything. Young lady, you could do better in another restaurant. read more

We had a dinner for 15 there tonight. The service was impeccable, the food was excellent, and the price was reasonable. I highly recommend this restaurant, and if you have a large party, check it out. read more

I am new to the area and found this gem. It is under new ownership of a family from New York, Darin, Jim and Dave the cousins. It just re-opened on November 28 newly renovated with amazing food and staff. One of the owners took the time to talk to us about the journey to open this place which definitely made you feel like part of the family. I highly recommend the sole franchise as chef Jim hit a grand slam. I can't wait to try the other items on the menu, although it will be difficult not to have the sole again. I inquired about the pizza and was told it is New York good... I am betting it is! So glad to have this restaurant in my neighborhood, and I will certainly be a regular patron here. read more

This restaurant has really stepped it up. It's been a while since I have dined there. My wife and I went for lunch and everything was quite good. We had shrimp appetizers, a a couple of lunch specials. Service was great! It's always a pleasant view. Overall, I will say we think it jumped to a go to place. read more

Brittany, was our server. She went far and beyond. Haven't had a waitress like that in a long time. Made it so pleasurable. Food and atmosphere was fantastic . read more

We went for Sunday Happy Hour and had a great time. The place had a good vibe, food was well prepared and our waiter Josh was excellent.

Had a great lunch with my friend! Food was very tasty and the service even better! MaryBeth was are server and could not of asked for better care, she always come to check how thinks are and if you need anything! Thank you Marybeth for a great experience! read more

Was in Stuart with a friend who wanted to try this new spot. We ordered salads and entrées which-for the price-were OK but not what I would call good Italian. Everything came out at the same time. Seems whenever we needed our server (refills on water, condiments, bill) we had to ask another staff member to get him. Attribute this to ineffective training from management. Between food quality and service it will be interesting to see if they make it to season in November. It is a good location on the water in The Pocket so they have that going for them.... read more

It's a nice dive bar restaurant where it's customers are locals from all walks of life. We tried the burger and it was decent for the price. Happy hour was good and service is good. No complaints and the Tiki bar is cool with one man singer! Will be back for sure. read more

Their specials are amazing! Music and outdoor area was perfect. Staff and owner were very inviting. Can't wait to go back!

Been there twice now since they opened last Monday. Disappointed both times. I should've taken pictures to post. (If I go back I'll be sure to do so to add herein) As expected, the menu is completely different. All of our favorites are gone. Their food prices up significantly, their portions nothing like before. The live music GONE! I think they failed to recognize that they purchased a TIKI BAR! Not a high priced Italian restaurant. Ordered their grouper fingers on my first visit. Got 4 grouper fingers about 2" long for $13. Ordered their Italian sub on my last visit this Saturday, (their so called Godfather/Hero sub) again, I'm sorry for not having taken a picture. ONE slice of salami, ONE slice of pepperoni, and ONE slice of provolone. They missed the prosciutto. All bread, hardly any meat. Disappointed! I have lots of friends that would gather here on a daily basis. Not sure some may be back when they realize what the new ownership has converted this to. I hope they read reviews, because after season passes, it's the locals that sustain the business! read more

Great service and atmosphere. The chicken franceses was delicious. The spinach was amazing. My husband had the frutti de mare- it was plentiful with mussels, clams, shrimp over linguine. He loved it. The soups with our meal were hearty and good. We sat inside. The outdoor dining area was lively with music and diners. A great spot with water view. read more

Just started going back after ownership change. The food has been delicious! The drink prices are great. We have sat at inside bar and the bartenders are great. They are fun and personable. The outside bar tenders not so much. One of the reason we stopped going when it was Manatee. They lack peoples skills. No interaction you can barely get them to take your order. Wish the outside character matched the inside! read more

It was terrible....ordered clam strips and they looked like they came from the freezer section of Wallmart, all breading no clams, not expected for a clam bar.. WILL NOT GO BACK. read more

As a local, very disappointed in the reopening of this waterside restaurant. Too many menu options, slow service and having to watch the manager & owner berate employees like he is in New York was very disheartening. We were given 4 menus to look over. We had fried clam strips, for $15 the portion was small, the clams were chewy & too much breading. this is a clam bar, right? We decided to end our meal after the appetizer and choose from one of the other great options next door. Make up your mind if this is an Italian restaurant or a waterside florida restaurant. Treat your employees with the respect and hospitality we expect in this town. Will not be returning. read more

What a nice surprise. They are fairly new and in a location that I thought had to be seafood but it is really a nice Italian menu with the usual seafood options. Friends suggest for a dinner out and we were very happy. Staffing wasn't quite up to 5 star as they had just opened but food was great. We just so unusual to sit in the outdoor covered area of a restaurant with boats all around and have great Italian food. I ordered Chicken piccata, as had another member of our party. My husband ordered Chicken Francese and when the order was delivered I got the Francese as well and was totally happy. The broccoli I had as a side was served with roasted garlic and was an excellent companion to the chicken. The Francese sauce was delicious and chicken was tender and juicy. Nicely done. Cesar salad that came with my meal was also good. The fourth member of our party had a house salad with grilled shrimp. Everyone was pleased. Again this was pretty soon after opening so there was some waiting for staff and delays in getting the right salad dressing for the house salad, the mix up of my main course, but we will be back. read more

Just not that good. Empty restaurant on a Saturday evening. Never a good thing. Clam strips don't order. Go to Publix and get a frozen box. Same thing and cheaper. Below average read more

Terrible experience food was over priced for what you got. Waited 15 minutes before anyone came to our table however so many people bumping into each other a total shit show. The guy playing was terrible. read more

We just had a delicious lunch today at Mangia Clam Bar. Food was awesome, service could not be better and lunch specials were so reasonable. The atmosphere is so relaxing. We will be back for sure. Mary Beth was our server and so pleasant. Please ignore the negativity and give them a try. read more

We are EVERY DAY (4-6 time a week) lunch customers in this restaurant, since it was Manatee island and then become Mangia Restaurant. We have been patient with them, waiting for 'adjustment", but coming from an experience of years of outstanding management by the previous owners, served like Kings with outstanding food. Patience, after MANY failures from the kitchen, has found an end today. We complained (again) about a sole oreganata that came on our table in a watery uncured sauce that the only taste was raw garlic. Pushed it back I ordered simple and easy mozzarella sticks that came totally raw, still frozen inside. We complained with management about the poor chef attention and the result is that the owners, both, zeroed our bill and literally kicked us out of the restaurant. Seriously pushed out!!!! We love this place because we meet with friends daily, we have good time, but we also pay good money for, allegedly, good food, also understanding the "set up' time a restaurant needs to optimize their kitchen performance. But here there is no desire to optimize, no desire to take care of your valued customer. You get what is in the 'behavior" of the kitchen that specific day. Good or bad they don't care. They just kick out us today, and not in a nice way, losing 40K in annual revenue, and just because they are unable to manage their own business/kitchen. If the ownership doesn't take care what come out of the kitchen an you pay for it, means, as EXACTL:Y happened today. that you worth nothing to them. Just think twice before to go there. By the way, I am Italian, born in Italy, and I am a chef too. If you think to have Italian food here just forget it. Newyorkish Italian sh....that's what you will get read more

Great time food was good also . Everything came out hot and cooked v the way we ordered it

Awesome service. Parking difficult some days and nights. Pizza was off the charts. Calzones and Stromboli' delicious. Portobello salad and other apps great. We got calamari and fried oysters. Only disappointment couple times paninis very bland and maybe should of been pressed but great portions of all other entrees we ordered read more

I did not eat there, but the food that came out looked really good. I just had beers and listened to the music. Was a fun night. A lot of local people and great atmosphere read more

Went here for the first time and it was so fun and the food was delicious, the server was attentive and so nice. The outside patio was very comfortable with a nice breeze. We ordered the bruschetta flat bread WOW delicious. Overall everything was amazing and will definitely be coming back! read more
