Austin was our waiter. Best service ever! Food was fantastic. Coffee was awesome. I had the seafood cannelloni. Highly recommend. There's just nothing bad on that menu lol everything is fresh. The bruschetta was amazing. With the homemade cheese. Everything is flavorful, hot and delicious. I give this place a million stars. BTW, this was my first time here.

Phenomenal food. Our family of five had pizza and pasta dishes, and all were exceptional. My husband says the lasagne is the best he’s ever had. The maple pork belly appetizer was delicious and so was the coconut shrimp. Our children want to make this place a regular family night out, and I’m happy to oblige.

I took my husband here for his birthday. Although the food was good, the room decor requires upgrading. There were water spots on the ceiling tiles, and it had the feel of a diner. The service was slow, and there were not enough waiters on the floor to provide quality and timely service. The older hostess spent most of her time talking to one particular table instead of helping more. Clearly, they were short staffed. My husband was less than impressed, and we won't be going back.

We were seated at 5:30, took about 15m to order and didn't receive our entrees until about 6:30. The food was okay (bread and butter was the best part) but the major problem was our waiter. He paid far more attention to his bar area tables and rarely came over to check on us. We watched the other wait staff and they did a far better job with their guests.

This family-owned restaurant is a welcome respite from all the chain restaurants in our area. Chef John is both a skilled craftsman and an artist when it comes to food. Austin helps you make your wine selection, and Cheryl does everything she can to accommodate your special requests. Dining at Mangia Qui is not only a delicious experience, but also a personal experience.

I booked the table early today - I find the hostess (older woman) quite in accommodating - she sat us at stable by the door with a draft - requested a possible booth and she rudely asked if I had specified that in my booking - I did not know you needed to do that - the overall look of the restaurant interior is old and dumpy - Food is great — waiters were pleasant and attentive - overall will go back - but they need to specify that you have to request that..

The customer service was horrible starting from the greeter at the door which told us we couldn't sit in a booth when there were people coming in after us and were able to sit in the booth and there were available booths the whole time we were there. The food was very bland. The waiter had no personality. There wasn't a warm and friendly feeling at this restaurant.

Food was excellent! The servers were professional and pleasant although a few beats off with remembering a drink order and bread offering to the table. The chairs are just uncomfortable. Would we return? Absolutely! A few minor issues that were totally negated by the friendly restaurant staff and exceptional food!
