Service was excellent on the evening we were there. We started with the mozzarella garlic bread, appetizer with spicy sausage. It's a huge portion enough for three people easily. Very good.

Great flavor and you have your option on pasta and I chose penne. For dessert we had the special cheesecake which was amazing. Prices for wine, cocktails, and food are all very reasonable.

The reviews les me to believe I was going to find an amazing restaurant in Aboca's Italian Grill,…read morebut my personal experience was something very average. Our experience started out on the wrong foot and did not get a whole lot better from there. The very pleasant person who greeted us told us to sit anywhere we like and she would follow us with menus. So, when we started to sit at a particular table a waiter flew across the room and told us,"No, not there, over here!". I guess he did not want us sitting at that table for some particular reason, but it was awkward at best, and unwelcoming. I am not one to usually play along with such games but for some reason I did this time, maybe because I have learned not to piss off people who are making my food. We ordered and I got the Aboca's Chicken, figuring a namesake dish would be a great choice. It wasn't. The garlic overpowered the other elements of the dish to the point where I could only eat a little less than half of it. Don't get me wrong, I love garlic, but this was too much. It was like the level of garlic where they might have forgotten they already put garlic in it and put more in...maybe even twice. Anyway, I don't regret trying the place, and I am actually glad I quieted some curiosities about the place, but this place is a one-timer for me

Ok, let's talk about my dish... I tried pizza and it was great.. crust was thin and crispy. Would order again. Now the rest of my group tried the pasta dishes... two ppl did not eat the meals ( they commented the sauce tasted like jarred sauce and the chicken was chewy). The others rated it just so/so! It's in our buildings complex but it was seemingly empty at lunch time. Prices were 14-18 for lunch prices. The bathrooms were clean and the service was above par. The problems were with the cooking of the dishes and the long wait. They confused us initially when asking about water- they offer spring and sparkling for 8 bucks and tap water. On an individual basis not as a table.

We started out with the fried burrata with arugula and tomato sauce. This was SPECTACULAR! Truly a five star dish and enough for two people to share. My husband had the puttanesca, which is one of our favorite dishes. I tried it, and it was wayyyyyy too salty. It was almost inedible. Anchovies and olives already have saltiness, so I think someone added too much salt to the salt itself. It was salt overload. I got a seasonal pasta with a spicy Vodka sauce. It was too spicy- but the saving grace of this meal was the appetizer. Next time I will stick to a tomato sauce dish. The pasta itself was great. It was very fresh and gratifying. The pasta dish was enough for 3 meals for me, which I think next time, we'll spirit an appetizer and a pasta dish. With the 2 main entrees, an appetizer and 2 sodas, it was nearly $70. Overall, it felt like it wasn't the best value. The food is high quality for sure, but the atmosphere and carboard bowls do not commensurate with the steep price.

Fried calamari- 10/10 crunchy, fresh, tasty, I walkway go for the calamari, did not disappoint.

Guys...what?? Whaaaat...?…read more The ratings for this place truly shock me. It's been a while since I've been to a restaurant where the Yelp rating so far exceeded the quality I experienced. We were there for a birthday dinner, bringing 11 people into a no-reservations restaurant on a Saturday evening. Gutsy? Maybe...except that we were the only people there at 6:30 pm, which was...odd, to say the least, for a Saturday evening. Then again, maybe not so odd, given the rest of the experience. First, I was carrying a boxed birthday cake. Should I have called ahead to ask if that was allowed? Yeah, probably -- but the plan HAD been to eat it at a food-friendly pottery painting place nearby. When that didn't happen for various reasons, I toted it along to the restaurant. Before I could even ask, the woman at the front of house (seemingly the owner? her kids were lounging restlessly in a booth in the corner) announced to me that they charge a PER-PERSON cake cutting fee. I was like um well I already spent $70 on this cake, so yeah, no thanks. I popped next door to Lockwood Distillery and asked them if we could eat our cake in there after dinner if I brought 10 alcoholics with me. They said sure. (Kudos, Lockwood, because they also serve food and desserts, but they ALSO apparently know how to seize an opportunity.) With the cake debacle behind us, we all sat down to look at the menu...which is when we realized that Farina In Grani doesn't appear to have a liquor license. The beverage menu was entirely non-alcoholic beers and wines, along with a sampling of sodas. So...that was kind of a bummer for a birthday dinner...but hey, the pizza was supposed to be good, so we stuck it out. (FWIW, I see another Yelp review describing the BYOB corkage fee as "ridiculous," so I can't imagine what they would have charged PER HEAD for cake cutting.) Well, then the pizza was...gosh there's just no way to put this nicely...it was bad. Tasteless dough that lacked the nice fluffy air pockets you want in a classic Neapolitan pizza crust. The tomato sauce was SWEET. It literally tasted like they'd added sugar to the tomato sauce. The spicy wagyu salami pizza thus had this weird sweetness to it that was in no way balanced by the very, very mild spice of the salami. The funghi pizza was so doused in fake truffle oil that it was almost sickening, and the cheese on that one was congealed in a way that was not at all appetizing. Someone near us ordered the Vesuvio, which came out with unmelted and seemingly pre-shredded cheese sprinkled on top. As for ambiance, there's a huge flatscreen TV that cycles through some of the most hilarious AI images of Italy...imagine yachts charging straight toward the shore; book pages flipping through glasses; etc. So at least that was good for a few laughs. Maybe it was just an off night, but between the ridiculous cake fee and the borderline inedible pizza, it was anything BUT a lovely birthday dinner for our sweet friend.

We started out with the bruschetta and the stuffed mushrooms. The bruschetta had such a depth of flavor I was scooping the fallen tomatoes on to my last piece. The stuffed mushrooms had a nice snap with a scream four cheese filling accompanied with a delicious lemon sauce alongside a rim of balsamic vinegar. I finished every last drop with the delicious house bread. For the entrée, I ordered the chicken carbonara. The sauce was so creamy with a generous amount of panchetta mixed throughout. The portions were also huge, so we ended up taking a lot home. Just when we thought the meal over, the server brought out four canolis on the house. Two pistachio and two strawberry creme. So light and flavorful. I will definitely be back to try more!

I ordered the Bronzino, which is a European Sea-Bass. It comes with, pasta and a choice of House or Caesar Salad. I went with the House Salad and it was excellent.It was topped with fresh tomatoes, olives, onion, cucumber and a sweet,tangy vinaigrette. The bronzino can be seared, grilled, or baked; I chose grilled. It's served "floating" in a rich sauce with rice-shaped pasta and broccoli. The fish was flavorful, though a bit softer than I expect from grilled. I would've also prefered slightly less salt on the pasta, Overall I give Mangia's 4 stars for service, food, ambience, and decor. I'd definitly come back to try more of their many dishes.
