I was expecting this place to be better than it was. We went for lunch & the flavor just wasn't there. Very pricey for the portions too. We had a party of 9 & everyone agreed the red sauce is flavorless. My aunt had been there in the past & said it's now under new ownership & you can tell it's just not the same. I was very unimpressed. We won't be back again. It's cute inside but they just don't know how to do pasta the right way. There's a ton of free parking though! read more

I was working in this area for a couple of weeks. I ate at this restaurant three times - excellent friendly service, all great meals! Would highly recommend if you are in the area! read more

Ownership change and they don't have the same wait staff or cooks in the back. Disappointed lunch served pasta (room temp-not hot). Overpriced menu for the quality received. The lack of lunch diners should have been my clue to avoid. I miss my $62Will not Return. read more

Our meal included the linguini Alfredo (with blackened chicken added), and also the shrimp scampi. Both meals were tasty, done well and served in large portions, enough to take some home after getting full. Good service too. We were very pleased and will return! read more

I'll have to go back and try some more items. The service was lovely. Ambience super cute. The gnocchi soup of the day slid in to a Campbell's canned category. Mussels broth delicious, mussels, not so much. No dipping bread. Still. Worth another try. I wouldn't pass it by, as there's not much else in Barnesville. We took a trip from Forsyth, the next ghost town over. Next time, I might get a pasta or a sandwich. read more

Great atmosphere, amazing service, and even better food! Can't wait to come back again soon!

I love how together this place feels inside. Very well appointed! Also, great service!Cam was spot on with everything! The Brussel sprouts appetizer was tasty and I really enjoyed the Chicken Mushroom Marsala linguini. There was a ton of pasta and could have used more mushrooms and sauce (or reduce the amount of pasta). Dad had the sausage pepper gnocchi dish & enjoyed it but commented it was pretty oil-heavy. read more

This used to be our favorite restaurant, but things seem to be going downhill. My wife and stepdaughter went there last night for a birthday dinner for my wife. We ordered appetizers and they were fine. We placed our dinner order and , after a 45 minute wait, received our food. I ordered the Chicken Marsala Linguine. I'm including a picture of the chicken. It was burned completely black on one side. I tasted it and all you could taste was the burnt part. I sent it back and after about 25 minutes received another order of the Chicken Marsala. I asked them to box it for me since everyone else had finished eating. I expected that they would comp me for my order, since I wasn't able to enjoy my meal with my family. I was told by my waiter that the manager offered us a 10 percent discount on our next visit, if we called in advance. It seemed like a weak offer of compensation for a pretty miserable dining experience. We had a pretty negative experience here a few weeks ago, but we thought it was just an off night. Our meal last evening will be our last at Mangia. read more

Mangia on Main - This is the Chicken Mushroom Marsala Linguine-seriously burned chicken. - Italian Near Me - Barnesville, Georgia

The atmosphere is very warm and the service is good. The quality of food is declining. My wife and I use to enjoy a Cesar salad and a flat bread. The Cesar is still good but the flatbread has gone from wonderful to not worth eating. The flatbread used to be rectangular and loaded with mushrooms and sausage and a tasty cheese. Now it is round and covered with some kind of not good pesto parmesan cheese spread that must come out of a jar. On a positive note I had fried shrimp that was cooked just right and tasty. read more

What an unexpected dining experience in Barnesville! Beautiful layout, great lighting, classy, fancy, yet approachable. We choose to enjoy dinner at the bar. The bartender was attentive, but very busy! Food was delicious overall, mussels portion size was a bit light. Prime rib was a great size for the price point. I wouldn't recommend the piccata at all. Flavors didn't seem to balance. The Tiramisu is to die for! Oh my gosh. We will definitely be back to try the menu. read more

Mangia on Main - Duh... dirty martini - Italian Near Me - Barnesville, Georgia

This place is outstanding!!! Service is quick and the food is great! I had the carbonara, daughter had chicken marsala and son in law had the lasagna. All of the dishes were great. However, the dishes could have used a little more seasoning. Just a little bland but good overall. read more

Passing through to pigeon forge we stopped at the KOA in Forsyth and craved some Italian food. This place was a 20 minute drive but yelp guided me to this restaurant based on reviews. It was very cute inside .. we had chicken piccata.. it was a little different than we are used to but it was good.. on the creamy side. Our grandson had chicken Alfredo and he enjoyed it. The service was great our waiter was very polite read more

Great place to visit in Barnesville!!! Service is awesome and atmosphere is so welcoming

The quality and taste of food has greatly diminished due to new ownership. Prices have gone up and the wait personnel look like they walked off a football field. Not professional at all. read more

Great service. Excellent menu. The shrimp scampi I ordered was among the best I have eaten. Good house wines with a generous pour. Did not like the 3% charge for using a credit card, but that is becoming common place at many restaurants. But it does not deter me from returning. read more

Mangia on Main's food is amazing. The service is on point and the atmosphere is the best around. It's family friendly with just the right touch of class and ambiance. read more

Stopped in for lunch and what a great experience. The restaurant has a great look and is very inviting. Server, Wes, was terrific. Great beer selection for lunch and a very generous pour of wine. Sandwiches were really good and the fries and pasta salad that came with lunch were both great. Please try this place. It's a winner. read more

I am absolutely in love with the salmon piccata. It's beyond yummy. The brussels sprouts are off the charts. Chef Bill knows exactly what he's doing. Service is fabulous and the renovations make the whole place pop with elegance and sophistication. Absolutely recommend Mangia. Soooo good read more

A few months ago a new owners took over. The dark chocolate mousse for $8 was replaced with a milk chocolate mousse that lacks the oooo and ahhh decadence of the original. There began my concerns for the future. For the last two years I consistently ordered the chicken piccata with mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts. The last two visits the chicken piccata is totally ruined. The sauce has been changed. The flavor is lack luster and generic. My friend gnocchi soup tastes lack luster. I dare say they have even tampered with the balsamic vinaigrette dressing recipe. I am quite disappointed that my days eating at Mangia have probably come to an end if they do not go back to the original recipe for their Piccata sauce. I can't eat what I have eaten twice now and been greatly disappointed and turned off by the experience. read more

Service is great and beautiful ambiance. I ordered the meat ball bomber, it was delicious. Plus it came with pasta salad which was one of the best pasta salads I've ever had. read more

We were there as a large group. My friend sitting across from me ordered flatbread. It was served on a wooden paddle. When the waiter set it in front of her she saw that the flatbread was burnt on the bottom. She sent it back. The chef/owner came back out with it & insisted to her that it is supposed to be served that way (burnt on the bottom of the crust). My friend argued back that burnt food is not acceptable. The owner/chef got so angry that he threw the pizza across the way, gestured angrily with the wooden paddle, then threw the wooden paddle across the way as well. He came back about 20-30 minutes later & apologized to our group but also kept making excuses for his temper tantrum & throwing of the pizza & wooden paddle saying how stressed he is & what a tough industry it is. read more

Decided to try this restaurant out for their Thanksgiving menu, and boy am I we did! The menu offerings for Thanksgiving were Mac, cornbread dressing, sweet potatoes with marshmallow topping, ham, turkey... you get the idea(plus I included a menu pic). Let's just say everything from the awesomeness of the staff to the manager and just the look and ambiance of the restaurant was just great! I met the owner, who was very visible, and came out checking on the customers and his staff. We had such an amazing experience with Thanksgiving that we have already planned a date night. I look forward to adding pics and hopefully giving another great review! Although everything was scrumptious, my fave things on the menu were probably the dressing, brussel sprouts, Mac, and turkey! read more

Service and ambience were wonderful! The arancini, linguini alfredo and prime rib were delicious!

My mom and I ate lunch there yesterday and it DID NOT disappoint!!! The place is decorated beautifully, immediately felt a sense of relaxation. The food was delicious but the stars of the show were definitely Wes and Cam!!! They were both very attentive, more than accommodating and super friendly. It's obvious they love what they do. The owner/chef came out to the table just to say hello and to make sure we were happy. Never expected such great service and food in such a small town. I will definitely be back very soon!! read more

The food was amazing and the customer service and ambiance were great! I definitely recommend this restaurant.

A little gem in Barnesville. Great ambiance. We had dinner, I had chicken piccata, subbed out the potatoes for extra brussels. OMG, the crispy Brussels sprouts are to die for. Husband had gnocchi with sausage. Both meals come with side salad, which is a meal in itself. Trust me, I think you'll love it, and will be taking home next days lunch. read more

This review is about service and not the food. Me and my husband have been to Mangia on Maine several times and had always thoroughly enjoyed our experience. But the last time we were there we were treated horribly by the bartender that worked that night. It was a lady and not their usual bartender. When we got there it was crowded and there was going to be a wait. So we went to the bar to wait there and to order our drinks. I ordered a red wine. I do not drink often so I didn't know the choices. She acted as if I should just know and like she was frustrated that she had to go over with me the choices. She turns to my husband who then orders a unsweet tea because he would be driving us home and we were waiting for a table. She then turns to her co worker and right in front of us says in the most rude way, he's having an unsweetened tea...please. It was so unprofessional and I actually asked the hostess to let me speak to the manager. While we were waiting for the manager the other employee brings my husband his unsweet tea in a styrofoam cup with a straw! If that wasn't a clear indication that they were trying to send us out the door I don't know what else it could mean. We got up and left immediately. Which is so unfortunate because we really enjoyed the food there. And we probably will never go back! read more

Amazing food and service. We will definitely be back. Tabitha was our server and she was terrific! I had the chicken piccata; my husband had ravioli with chicken; both were incredible. Highly recommend!! read more

Outstanding! Spent the day with family today in Barnesville. When it came time for lunch Mangia on Main was the recommendation. First of all the walk up to the front door was very inviting. Upon entering we were welcomed by the friendly staff and the aroma was lovely. The decor and atmosphere were beautiful. We were greeted quickly by our wait staff to take our drink orders. Being there with family that dines there regularly they shared suggestions of their favorite dishes. We settled on the Balsamic Brussels and Green Goddess Flatbread and the Shrimp Scampi Linguine. The Brussel Sprouts was a large order that that all 4 of us enjoyed! Delicious! The Flatbread was just perfect! The Shrimp Scampi was also very delicious. How fortunate for Barnesville to have this very elegant dining venue. A wonderful addition to Main Street. BTW, even the chef dropped by our table to say hello and to make sure all was well. Incredible service and attentive wait staff. Mangia is now one of our favorites! read more

Wow, what a disappointment! Cheese ravioli and garlic bread takeout. Should have been simple and tasty and was my first trial of this place. If it went well, it would have been a new regular place for me. What I got was pasta that wasn't cooked all the way, inadequate amount of sauce, cheese tossed on top and not even melted. Garlic bread that was literally cold (not just not warm.) This is careless "who gives a damn" cooking at its worst. Saturday night as well. I hope it doesn't make me sick. From what I saw it looked nice inside and the servers were pleasant to me. However, I don't think I will give this place a 2nd chance. read more

Great service and menu variety. Interior is warm and charming. Highly recommend for this area.

My family and I come here a few times each month! Our server, a young blonde haired female was spectacular and so sweet! They seemed short staffed for a Saturday afternoon and she was very busy but still took care of our every need. An older lady that she was working with made it very apparent to the entire restaurant that she was stressed, overwhelmed and had too many responsibilities than she was capable of handling and unfortunately took out her anger on the younger staff by being so so rude and condescending. She wanted every customer to know of every small inconvenience she was having by talking to herself in a loud tone. "This table should've been cleaned!" "I guess I'm doing everything today!" it was terrible to watch a lady so grown have a temper tantrum. Meanwhile our server continued to work as fast as she could to get everything done. I felt terrible for her. read more

Sorry but not impressed. Spent $52 including tip on a to go order which consisted of Mediterranean salad with grilled chicken, a grilled chicken sandwich with fries and some fried ravioli. The grilled chicken was supposed to have "fresh mozzarella " on it. I received a regular slice of mozzarella cheese. The ravioli tasted like it was cooked 8 hours before I picked it up. The salad was small for the price they charged. So many other options in Griffin and Thomaston. This might be a place to eat in vs to go. I might give them another shot in about a month. read more

Great for a date night. Waitresses are a little bit "different". It over all experience has been great. Wouldn't recommend on going trivia / dj / karaoke night. So loud you wouldn't be able to talk to anyone around you. read more
