Drinks are good value food choice is limited but fairly good.
Well, got a Groupon to give this establishment a swing. Decided to try brunch. We were literally the only 2 people in the restaurant. Obviously sat immediately, but took some time to get juices and coffee. Ordered a crepe for an app which was good! However once we were done, the finished plates sat for quite some time. Along with our empty cups. The appetizer took about 25 minutes to come out and finally got a coffee refill after asking for one. After she refilled my coffee she still left the plates - and empty glasses.. At this point I got a little nervous to how this experience was going to play out.. So our brunch came out finally. Almost an hour time pass.. I ordered the eggs Benedict and my daughter ordered chocolate pancakes. By the photos you can see the eggs were boiled thru, the super small portion of potatoes had so much rosemary they were inedible. The hollandaise sauce had zero flavor and was grainy. It was NOT to expectation. My daughters pancakes were actually thick crepes. They used the same batter.. Crepe batter is dramatically different than pancake batter...
Food and service always on point at Cafe Mangia. Nice cozy atmosphere
Needless to say, this turned into a big afternoon project for 2 simple brunch items and a thin pancake starter. Gonna hit Starbucks across the street and get a pastry so I'm not hungry. Arrived at 11:30 and left at almost 1:30... Good thing I got $20 off the bill using a groupon. Super quick to process the bill though! They were fast to take the money! For $30 this was not worth it. yikes.
There is a great mix of offerings for carnivores, fish lovers and vegetarians. Gluten free pasta is done well here. Salads are fresh and interesting, never drowning in dressing!This was our first visit but we will be back. Very good food, excellent, even impeccable service. Fast and friendly staff made the visit a comfortable experience. The food was delicious, good size portions and a good variety.
Soup and salad lunch was delightful, delicious and plenty filling. Friendly and attentive service. Casual but warm ambience.
This is food done right! In the dozen or so times I've eaten here, I've never been disappointed! The service is friendly and efficient, but not intrusive. Whether you dine inside or on the screened porch, the atmosphere is pleasant. Best of all is the food. While the menu is limited, the chef will work with you, and the options are delicious!
