    Baby Spinach & Butternut Squash Salad
    Audrey I.

    I dined here with my mom last Friday night. Despite it being the weekend, there was virtually no wait around 6:30 PM, a pleasant surprise, and the hostess led us to our table almost immediately. Soon after getting seated, our waiter welcomed us with a complimentary bread basket, cups, and a bottle of water. I use the house bread as a litmus test for the quality of an Italian restaurant, and Mangia Mi's is pretty damn good. It's a baguette which comes warm, moist, and crusty: the holy trinity of baguette traits. To share, we had the spinach and butternut squash salad, the seared scallops, and the pasta con vongole. With all due candor, skip the butternut squash salad. The bacon bits came out a tad too burnt making it almost too brittle and difficult to chew. The butternut squash also had a weird marinade rendering it cloyingly sweet and masking its natural sweetness. The main dishes were pretty decent on the other hand. The pasta con vongole, immersed in a white wine sauce, was potent in garlic flavor yet a tad too salty than what I would have preferred. The seared scallops were served on a bed of risotto with corn kernels adorning the top. The corn kernels were an odd addition, adding a needless sweetness to an otherwise savory dish. Overall, Mangia Mi was pretty good! Definitely a solid Italian spot for the Danville area.

    We were served by the owner and a new waitress. Both were so friendly. The food was outrageously delicious and came out quickly. Best pizza I have had! The fresh pasta is so tasty, we couldn't stop eating it! We chose to eat outside and it was just a wonderful experience from start to finish. We will be back!

    Rigatoni alla Carbonara
    John I.

    My family and I had a reasonable meal at Mangia Mi that was unfortunately marred by a pretty subpar experience. We walked in on a Friday evening and figured we'd try our luck without a reservation for a party of five. We felt quite lucky when we were actually able to be seated within a few minutes! They told us we would be seated in their "cottage" area... Unfortunately, this small room was clearly not originally intended to be used as a dining area, as it is very echoey. We were seated next to a loud family and the acoustics of the room made it extremely difficult to simply hold a conversation amongst ourselves. It also lacked any of the ambience of the rest of the restaurant (excessively brightly lit), and our table was right next to the restroom, which was... less than ideal. It took almost 15 minutes for our waiter to get to us (we thought they'd forgotten we'd been seated here). We ordered blood orange and pomegranate martinis, which were pretty tasty. They also brought out bread and dipping oil, which helped satiate us until our entrees. We ordered the rigatoni alla carbonara, lasagna di carne, and the gnocchi gorgonzola. All three entrees were pretty tasty (the lasagna was probably my favorite), and the portion sizes were ideal. The gnocchi was a little overly chewy, but still good. However, I would also be remiss if I didn't mention that a couple of us felt a bit queasy and unsettled when we got back home... The prices are a bit steep, particularly given the middling quality of the food and service. Overall, while the food is pretty decent, the inconsistency of the service, quality of the seating/ambience, and steep prices made this just an average dining experience. I might return if I have a strong craving for Italian, but I'd love to see some of these other issues addressed to elevate the experience.

    On the house birthday treat for my dear dad.

    This restaurant does a lot of things so, so right! And a couple of things oh so wrong..... Positive: the food is fantastic. Probably the freshest salmon I've ever had in a restaurant. Everything was delicious, portions were large, and my very picky mother actually liked it! Literally every single dish and appetizer was a hit. A large menu of exciting dishes, probably one of the best restaurants in Danville. Now the negative: Literally the very first bite of thr clam appetizer, crrrrrooonch!!!! I bit into a rock. ‍ I was in pain for five minutes and really scared that I had broken my tooth. Everyone makes mistakes.... Spit it out and kept going. Two clams later, crrrrrroooonch!!!! Another rock.... Not sand, A FREAKING ROCK. On to the seafood pasta. Tasted lovely, very fresh and good portion siz-CRRRRRRRROOOOOONCH!!!! ......another freaking rock. My poor elderly dad quietly told me (on his birthday btw) that he had bit into several rocks and sand as well. We told the waiter (who was excellent) but what can they do?

    Funghi Pizza
    Amanda O.

    My family & I managed to get a reservation here for Mother's Day & the place was very busy! We got a seat out on the patio, & the weather was perfect. To start, we ordered the bruschetta: Oven-Roasted Red Tomatoes, Balsamic Vinaigrette, Pecorino Romano, Basil, Grilled Bread. That was essentially gobbled up in no time because it tasted so good! My aunt & I then ordered two dishes to split: the heirloom tomato & burrata caprese & the Funghi pizza. The pizza came with Maitake, Oyster and Crimini Mushrooms, Mozzarella, Parmesan, Caramelized Onions, Truffle Oil. Both dishes were full of flavor & absolutely delicious. My parents ordered the Lasagne di Carne, Fresh Pasta Sheets, Bolognese Sauce, Béchamel, Mozzarella, Parmesan, as well as the Rigatoni all made Carbonara, Parmesan Cream Sauce, Pancetta, Applewood-Smoked Bacon, English Peas, Pecorino Romano. Both really enjoyed their meals, & since I don't eat meat, I had to take their word for it! The food takes a bit of time to arrive at the table, but they make everything from scratch & you can taste the time & effort they put into every meal!

    If you want an amazing local spot look no further than going here. Though it might look small there is plenty of seating for any size party and rooms to have private parties or small events. What I love most is the bar area where you can observe the Executive Chef, Antonio, cook along side his other chefs. Fall, Winter, Spring, or Summer there is always items on the menu that cater to the seasons and Antonio does a phenomenal job in executing each dish. We started with the appetizer of steamed clams and we loved it!! There wasn't a grainy or salty taste to them and they were seasoned and cooked to perfection. Then we each had a different entree. I had the Spring Fettuccine and my mom had the Summer Risotto. Both had such amazing flavors and were different than what we normally would get. You must save room for dessert!!! Their Butter Cake is made in house everyday and served with the best gelato. Please visit this cute little taste of Italy!! You won't regret trying anything on this menu. The owner, Peter Cedolini, is amazing and has made many significant contributions to the community. If you crave Italian go here!!!

    I had hoped that what I read from a 1-star Yelp review about having reservations, then finding out…read morethis restaurant is closed, was only a rare occasion. I did not even think to alert my friends about what I read because I thought after reading other Yelp reviews and looking up their Instagram posts with beautiful photos and people looking like they were enjoying this restaurant, that what was described in that 1-star review must have been a rare occurrence. Boy was I wrong because to my dismay when we arrived at their restaurant door last evening, it happened to us and I did not want to believe it, but all the evidence was there to show they were in fact, CLOSED. Two other customers and our group arrived at the same time in advance of our 6pm reservation time, only to see their door closed, lights off, with nobody inside. We were confused not only because we did not receive a message notifying us that their restaurant would be closed and our reservation needed to be canceled, but also because the customers who arrived when we did said they had booked their reservation yesterday, meaning the reservation system was still active. What's more is we did not see any signage on their door or windows about being closed, but instead we saw an EBMUD notice on the door stating water service payment was overdue, which we were not expecting to see upon our arrival. Our group needed to quickly figure out a plan B for our birthday celebration dinner, as our friend had planned and reserved The Library Social Club over a month ago. I dine at many restaurants and any time there needs to be a change or cancelation for any reason by a restaurant business, I have received an e-mail, a text, or a phone call alert, as a customer courtesy call, and I have at the very least, even seen hand written notes on restaurant doors and windows as signage alerting customers of their business being closed. Needless to say, we were disappointed and frustrated by this incident today. We drove from out of town to try this restaurant that was not even open when customers had reservations. Fortunately, our friend proposed a different restaurant that we could walk to and they sat us promptly upon arrival. We enjoyed their delicious food instead!

Marinara was standard -potato-leek puree (4/5): came in a cute little cup to drink out of, good flavor -gamberoni (5/5): prawns were a good size and perfectly grilled. The sauce was a good addition -polette (4/5): meatballs were juicy and the pesto was flavorful and creamy. Interesting thing to have as an appetizer though -fettuccini carne (5/5): I always have an internal struggle about getting a red sauce or a cream sauce, so this was the perfect option as a creamy red sauce pasta. Serving size was good, and there was also plenty of meat and mushrooms, which I loved! Flavor was great! -lamp chop (4/5): good grilled flavor, but one was slightly too raw for our liking so we had to send it back to the kitchen to cook it some more. Our waitress was very understanding though! The mashed potatoes and veggies were also good. -tiramisu (3.5/5): good flavor, but there was wayyy more cream than ladyfinger, so the textural balance was off. And I love cream! -peanut butter chocolate brownie (4/5): really good but also pretty sweet. Loved how thick the whipped cream was, but didn't taste as much peanut butter as I would've liked Overall, I had a great experience for their valentines day prix menu. Food was great and I would definitely go back to try their pasta!

Entrees - Enchiladas: very cheesy and overall a good dish but I would skip this. - Shrimp tostadas: large size shrimp and it just comes with two tostadas so I don't think it was worth the price - Barramundi fillet: The fish was tender and juicy. I liked the marinades that came with it. I liked this dish with the rice because it made me feel homey. Good portion of fish. - Agua Chile Ribeye: This is a must have! The ribeye is sous vide so it was soo tender and juicy. The broth was really nice to keep everything moist and flavorful.

While I would have preferred the fries a bit crispier, they paired very well with the steak and were still thoroughly enjoyable. My wife loved her steak sandwich and was pleasantly surprised by how light the bread was. It held up well without feeling heavy and soaked up the steak juices nicely, especially with the table mayo.

What started as simple random dinners turned into my and my husband's standing Friday night tradition at the bar with Z - and that's entirely because of the people at Revel.

It turns into something much more personal. It turns into family. The team has taken the time to get to know us and more importantly, they've shown genuine love and care toward our daughters. From the moment you're greeted by Lauren or Coco, you know you're in for a great experience. They are warm, welcoming, and effortlessly kind. Sidney and Daniel are truly special.

That kind of connection speaks volumes. And then there's Z. Our Friday nights at the Revel bar simply would not be the same without him. Z IS THE reason this became our tradition. What started as great service turned into a friendship, and now feels like family. Z has an incredibly kind heart. He is attentive, intuitive, and deeply cares about the people he serves. He notices everything, looks out for his patrons, and goes out of his way to make everyone feel safe, seen, and valued. We truly cannot say enough about him. He, too, has gotten to know our girls and makes them feel special on days we have dinner as a family. Z: you are one of a kind!!!
