    Pollo alla Roma Caesar Salad Parmigiana Garlic Bread Chicken Sandwich

    The service was friendly, quick and attentive. The food didn't stand out too much, but wasn't bad. We got the chicken sandwich with side Caesar salad as well as pasta. The pasta was good, and I would order it again as was the salad. The sandwich did not have a lot of flavor unfortunately.

    Gnocchi all Vodka with added meatball and sausage

    We were in town for the Oregon 70.3 Ironman race, we were looking for a place to carbo load and happy to have found Mangiare which was short drive from out AirBnb. We had made a reservation for 7 and loved that we had a private room as a we can get loud at times! The Great: Service was excellent and loved the location. Large menu with something for everyone in our group, pasta dishes, chicken, and seafood were ordered and enjoyed. Prices were very reasonable across the menu and quite the bang for the buck. The Good: Food was solid, I had the Gnocchi with added on sausage and meatball. The meatball was very dry and hard though, cooked through till the beef was a bit crumbly but still tasty. The adult beverage menu while not huge had something for everyone to enjoy. The Okay: Other then my dry-ish meatball everything was quite good. Overall: Our group loved our dinner at Mangiare, 7 satisfied diners left feeling happy and full!

    Italian sodas in wine glasses

    Our server Elizabeth was amazing (as always) and was super helpful with all our requests. she even humored our request for Italian sodas in wine glasses which really made our evening. We ordered the fried ravioli app, the baked sausage main, and cheesecake and cannoli for dessert and the food was AMAZING. The atmosphere in here is amazing and very welcoming. would HIGHLY recommend!

    Been here a few times years ago and food & service was excellent. This time, the bread was fresh, soft and tasty. Our server was... efficient. The decor is mixed, but quaint - some beautiful elements like the old wooden doors that are used as room dividers, but with 90s sponge painting on all of the walls. Had their chicken fettuccine but it was bland. Friends shared a large calzone. They liked it but it wasn't fancy. Hubs had a pasta with shrimp said it was ok. Yelp offered a free dessert upon check-in but staff was reluctant to honor it b/c although several customers had mentioned it before us, they still "didn't know who authorized it". Eventually they said they would honor it for one of us (out of 4) but didn't have the tiramisu so they would only give a scoop of ice cream. Meh. Felt like the least they could do was honor 1 piece of cake to split but when asked, the answer was No. Will we return? Probably, no.

    Chicken Parm with pasta to go
    Joey J.

    Stopped in on my way home to grab dinner, and ladies who helped me were pleasant, chicken parm was on point, pasta was cooked well, the only issue I had was the order of tomato basil soup which was watered down and lacked flavor. Otherwise, this would have been a t for me.

    Mangiare was recommend to us by a friend who works in the area. The recommendation was spot on. The restaurant is very quaint and unassuming. Their staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and had just right right level of attentiveness. I had the Baked Sausage Pasta, suggested to me by our server. I was impressed by its flavor and simple presentation. My better half chose the chicken carbonara. She liked the dish, but thought it could use a little more flavor, such as garlic. Their dishes are very much in line with an upscale experience, without the unnecessary expense. We would pass along a recommendation for Mangiare to anyone looking for a suggestion for an enjoyable evening out!

    So it wasn't bad but they needed to add more meat sauce. Also I didn't like the sauce as it was slightly watery.

    This is an amazing place and the only reason why I give it four stars is because the portions need to be bigger.

Our waitress was very nice, friendly and service was efficient throughout. Cocktails were nice to start and there was complimentary bread service, always a plus, but the taste and texture of the focaccia was not really to my lining. We ordered the fried calamari to start, and again nothing bad here, but just not as good as we had hoped. That said, entrees were strong. Generous portions that were fairly priced. The lasagna and eggplant parm were both quite tasty. We were too stuffed to try the desserts. I dine at many many Italian restaurants and realize my bar might be a little higher than most. We will return here to try more of the menu when we are looking for a casual dinner. I would recommend giving them a try if you are seeking the same.

We started with the Focaccia plate with olive oil w/seasonings sprinkled on top. The focaccia was amazing but I really missed the traditional olive oil & basalmic vinegar. With just the oil for dipping, it was pretty blah, IMHO. Hubby ordered the Spaghetti & 3 large Meatballs that were about 2" diameter. I ordered the Creste de Gallo ala Vodka w/sausage. BOTH were delicious but after my first 2 bites, my mouth was on fire. I'm a real wimp when it comes to hot spicy foods :( so it was no one's fault but mine (It would be nice though if they would put little peppers next to the spicier dishes). But once again, Hubby rescued me and made me trade dishes with him. Sorella's is clean, the staff is friendly & efficient. We also like the rustic vibe with artwork reflecting the ocean. But, it is STILL our favorite place in Newport!

The service was slow, and there was no sense of prioritization or urgency.
