After waiting 15 minutes after ordering for the eggplant parmigiana ($17, with no sides), it finally came out: luke warm on the outside and cool on the inside, with the mozzarella topping crunchy and not melted. I would have sent it back for a do-over but my party of 6 had already gotten their dishes from other vendors and were waiting for me, so I decided to just grin and bear it. The best I can say is that the portion was fairly generous...about 5 pieces. I am wondering if rather than making it from scratch, they use pre-prepared (or worse, frozen) eggplant patties... That would explain why they weren't hot. So, 2 stars at best. Feh. read more

Truly enjoyed trying this awesome new restaurant. Went with a friend and we went wild return so many things. I gobbled down the whole order of garlic bread and also found the kale salad out of this world. The chicken parm will def be my go to main course. My gal pal fell in love with the meatballs and beef rigatoni as well as the caprese sammy (I stole a bite and it was so fresh and yummy with the basil really standing out). The focaccia is made in house and the bread for the sandwiches is made locally. You really gotta try this awesome new offering located conveniently on the ground floor of Avanti! read more

So their Caprese sandwich is pure heaven. The bread and the cheese are sheer perfection...but My roasted pork sandwich ( $17) aint nothing but a grinder with cold cuts on it. I was misled as I was led to believe this was like what I had at the Philly public market...it was not. read more

This restaurant is in the food court. I'm glad we chose it. Ordering was easy and food came out pretty fast. We got the chicken Parmesan with garlic butter pasta and the pesto chicken sandwich. Both were very tasty. I really like the pasta, almost tasted home made. Prices were pretty good considering the area. Will definitely come back if I'm in Boulder read more

I got the eggplant sandwich... The flavors were okay, but it was so soggy, it was hard to eat as everything was this soft eggplant texture - the eggplant, the mozzarella, the bread. It was messy and desperately lacked textural variety. I wouldn't order it again. Staff was friendly, and food came out quickly. read more

Mangia Panino - Eggplant sandwich - Italian Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Ordered a egg plant parm and some fries. It was the most flavorless thing I have eaten in Boulder. Definitely was not worth the 30 bucks. Can't recommend this place. read more

This spot is located inside the Avanti food hall and I'm happy to have come across it when visiting Pearl Street Mall. It features a variety of sandwich, salad and pasta options and some featured items. After browsing the menu, I ultimately went with the vodka pasta with chicken which came out to about $20. While at first the plate looked small, it was very filling and had a good bit of chicken and some peas in addition to the rigatoni pasta. I liked how the pasta was al de the and the sauce wasn't overpowering and paired well with the seasonings. You could easily tell it was cooked fresh and had great ingredients. I got my food about 10min after ordering which was perfect and allowed some time for me to find a table and get situated. I like how they would text you when your order was ready rather than having to hear your name. If I'm ever in the area again, I'd really like to try on if their sandwiches next. read more

Mangia Panino - Vodka Pasta - Italian Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Let's eat some paninis. I spent a day in Boulder and was looking for a nice spot for dinner on a Monday evening. I've always been a big fan of food halls so I stopped by Avanti. Mangia Panino is an Italian vendor at the food hall. I didn't order a lot from Mangia, and no paninis, but what I ordered delivered. I had the polenta fries which are served with a marinara dipping sauce. You order at the counter and they give you a buzzer. The polenta fries were thick, fried well with a nice crisp factor, and seasoned well with some parmesan. I enjoyed them, along with some additional food and drinks, on their rooftop. The weather was beautiful. You can't beat it! read more

Though I loved the kitchen that had been in this space since Avanti opened, it was nice to see a change too. There is always room for more Italian options in any city, having grown up on the east coast in a city with large proportion of residents being of Italian heritage. So many family specialty eateries. As soon as I saw some Yelp reviews of Mangia Panino, we decided to go. I had seen the pictures of the food and it looked just right for us. We had the Caprese sandwich and enjoyed it a lot. I loved having such high quality roasted red peppers rather than the common tomato version. The focaccia was clearly well made though it would have been a lot easier to eat this sandwich if it had not been toasted so hard that it would not compress at all to get the bite without cracking the structure of it apart. I finally snapped off the corners to eat as a cracker, not wasting a bit but still a bit inconvenient to do without losing any filling. I would certainly order it again and specify a softer option. Drinks are very limited at the food window, just 2, both flavored San Pellegrino in cans. It would be really nice if they added the standard unflavored also. Yes, there is a counter with many drinks and pastries at Avanti, but to do that line and the food line seems redundant. Having a drink that complements to food and to purchase with the food, should be considered. We are looking forward to trying the eggplant parmigiana and some of the other hot dinners as cooler evenings roll in next fall. read more

The bread of the sandwich really crusty, which some people like but it tore up my mouth so the fig vinaigrette kind of stung. I loved the thick turkey and Brie, but something about the kale and vinaigrette was unappealing to me. The clam chowder had lots of clam and potato, although it wasn't very thick/creamy which is what I like about a chowder. Also a bit of an untraditional flavor. I can see the attempt at elevation in a classic soup and sandwich, but it didn't quite hit the target. read more

This Italian restaurant is within Avanti, the food hall on Pearl Street. First, Avanti has several restaurants within, one of which is Mangia Panino. I ordered the Polenta Fries, which were so tasty! You receive a large serving of crispy polenta fries, with marinara sauce to dip into. There is a little bit of parmesan on the polenta fries, which added a nice flavor. I also ordered garlic bread. There was a lot of parmesan cheese on the garlic bread and this was also served with marinara sauce. Very delicious. Three pieces of bread with the dish. For drinks, they offered two flavors of Pelligrino, so I ordered the Blood Orange. This was fine for me, but surprised they didn't offer more drinks. The cashier was a bit standoffish. He was a little rude to my friend, as she was standing next to me talking and laughing. I found it very odd. The food was delicious, and I would order from this restaurant again. Ambience is the best, with the rooftop seating. sitting in the warm sun and chilling with the mountain view is extremely nice. read more

It was recommended that we get something to eat in the building where Mangia Panino is located. There are a few bars and 5 or 6 restaurants. I chose this one because the eggplant parmigiana sub sounded good. It was wonderful. They added lemon juice to the sub and it gave it an extra tangy flavor. They also make polenta fries. I wanted to just try one and they happily made one for me. They sprinkle cheese on top of them and serve them with their tomato sauce. It was delicious. They would make a great side with two fried eggs for breakfast. Unfortunately they don't open until 11! If in the area check them out and take your food to the fourth floor and enjoy the view of the flat irons! read more
