First off .... It is Awesome to have a higher caliber restaurant locally in the area. I went to Mangia Bella with my family and was very happy with what we found. The prices were what we expected but the portions were much larger than what we expected. We all got something different from the menu from the porkchop, which was perfectly cooked to the Chicken. One of my sons got a steak dish that was cooked to order. The only thing that was obvious was the service level. Our server was very nice and attentive but it was obvious that the team needs to work on some basic service procedures to equal the quality and obeisance of the restaurant. A couple of things would be the wine service and the description and presentation of the menu items. Over all it was a great experience and we will be back for sure.

Great place as far as venue itself, great decor and ambiance. Employees were friendly but the level of service lacked for a fine dining establishment. It may have just been our server. For example we were not offered water unless we asked. We also were not given refills on our beverages. We did get asked about refills on alcoholic cocktails that 2 of the 4 of us ordered but that was it. Also, had to ask multiple times for sweeteners for tea. Food was good and some was very good. Did not receive steak knife with pork chop dinner. Had to use butter knife. Didn’t see our server for quite some time after receiving our meal or we would have asked her for another knife. I think the food will improve with time but for the prices, I really feel like it can be a bit better and the servers should be more skilled. Will give them another chance but may wait for them to be in operation a little longer.

Outstanding Chicken Parm, homemade pasta, and red sauce. The salad with homemade dressing was wonderful also. I topped it off with a glass of Cabernet. I would order the same thing again and again.

Highly recommend! Our waitress, Karen, was amazing! I asked for a recommendation and a wine to match my preferences and she nailed it on the first try! The food was amazing! Well worth the price. You can tell the chef puts a lot of care into their plates. I got the prime fillet and it was so beautifully done; perfectly crusted on the outside without overcooking the inside and keeping it at my preferred temp of medium well. We will more than definitely be back.

Miranda , Thanks for coming in . I will pass your feedback along to Karen and both chefs Alexa and Shawn , they pride themselves on their ability to cook steaks to temperature which seems to be a lost art these days. Robert W Halsted Owner / Robert W Halsted JR General manager

Im not sure they were open to the public yet but we were able to make rezzys and they accommodated us. Finally an upscale place to eat in the area. The food and drinks were amazing. I would only recommend letting patrons know an 18% gratuity is added and for outstanding service you may choose to leave additional gratuities (which we did). It really was exceptional and I would say you guys are ready to open.
