“ Came for a quick lunch and felt like I stepped into Italy. All the food is homemade fresh to order. Shannon was an amazing server that gave us information about the place. The owner and his Mother stopped by our table to welcome us in. It was a wonderful experience! ”
“ Top marks all around! Went there with my family and had an amazing afternoon. The food is top notch and the space is so open and clean. It's definitely a "take your time and enjoy your meal" space. I just have to add that we had a hungry 5yo with us and (without us asking) they made sure his food came out first! It relieved some of our stress and made the experience more enjoyable for him too. ”
“ It was my first time at Mangia Bistro, along with a host of friends (16 strong). We were there for lunch. We were treated to a special buffet that included bruschetta, salad, salmon, chicken, pasta and veggies. Everything was delicious . The establishment was cozy and intimate. There's a huge wine assortment. The servers were awesome and very attentive. ”
“ Such a wonderful experience dining in at Mangia. Came in on a Sunday afternoon, had the best service. The waitress and owner were very friendly and welcoming. We ordered The Veal Osso Buco, Tortillini Cream sauce and the lasagna. Every dish was delicious and made fresh. Our waitress Angelica was super sweet and made sure to continuously check on us. Angelica was kind enough to compliment us with a delicious chocolate cake for dessert and a discount card for our next time dining in. Will definitely be back for another delicious meal and highly recommend ”
“ Had a lovely meal at this Italian spot. The overall experience was good — cozy ambiance and friendly service. The highlight for me was the olive garlic dip served with bread at the beginning, full of flavor and a great start to the meal. I ordered the spaghetti, which had a nice balance of creaminess and saltiness. Nothing overly fancy, but well-executed and satisfying. Would definitely come back to try more dishes. ”
“ Best Italian I’ve had in years! Very clean restaurant that serves amazing Italian dishes. We had the Italian sausage and cabbage as an appetizer. My husband ordered the carbonara and I the tartufo (pictured). Everything was great. Price was around 70 dollars for two people, only one got wine. Overall experience 10/10. Will be coming back and trying more from the menu. ”
“ I loved Mangia Bistro! The atmosphere was very relaxing, the service was excellent, the waitress Elizabeth was very attentive and friendly, the food exceeded my expectations, we ordered stuffed mushrooms and baked meatballs as starters, super delicious then we ordered a calzone (I have to emphasize that the calzone is enormous, two people can easily be satisfied with it) the chicken Alfredo was super delicious and to finish our delicious dinner we ordered a creme brulee & chocolate hazelnut cake ”
“ Our friends told us how good it was so we met them there for dinner. Wow, it was absolutely fantastic. Best veggie pizza I've ever had with generous toppings and the dishes our friends had were amazing too. Nice wine selection. The service was professional and friendly too. It's right off Central Expwy and 15th street. It's our go-to Italian restaurant now. I couldn't recommend it more highly. ”
