We tried this place on our mission to find good homemade Italian food. What a pleasurable experience. All the food was some of the best Italian we've had.
It was great! My first time there. I chose it to meet a friend (who had been before). It was on the other end of Elm Street and not in the "bustle" of Elm. The service was prompt and courteous. We were made to feel very welcomed. The food was fantastic. They make it all from scratch so this is not a venue for "express dinner". Bring a bottle (or two) of wine and enjoy your company and the nice setting. If you forget wine (or beer) there is a store 1/2 block down. I would definitely go back. PS: I just finished the leftovers for my lunch reminding me to write this review. Well Done Mangia!
Absolutely the BEST Italian food in the Southern New Hampshire. The ambiance is wonderful but the FOOD IS DELICIOUS! Don't forget to bring your own wine. Liquor is not served here. Chicken Alfredo with a nice bottle of Chianti!
Food is made from scratch.And every bite was delicious.Service was outstanding. A shout-out to Derek our server.
Hidden gem! Friendly staff, truly delicious dishes. BYOB (beer, wine, bubbly). We will definitely be back.
I'd love to say this is the best food I've had in Manchester but its not...it's the best good I've had in NEW ENGLAND! You MUST try!!!
I found this place completely by accident. I was in Manchester, NH on business, and I asked my hotel front desk for a recommendation for an Italian restaurant. The guy had no idea. I looked on Google Maps and found this place. I read a few reviews and decided to give it a try. I had the veal parmigiana with ziti on the side. I went in without a reservation, but I was alone. They were able to accommodate me, but if you are thinking of eating here, you might want to make a reservation. The veal was excellent, and the tomato sauce and ziti were both really excellent. The ziti had the right texture and chew; it was not overcooked. The sauce was fantastic. The service was a bit slow, but the meal was worth the wait. I finished off my meal with an espresso. The prices were reasonable, and the wait staff were pleasant. If I return to Manchester, I would seek out this place.
We will never return to this restaurant which is too bad as we never even got the chance to try the food. Instead the waitstaff were rude as we came through the door after walking 2 miles from our hotel to try the restaurant. We were turned away for not having a reservation. Even though we told her we had walked all that way. It does not say anywhere online by reservation only and we went by all information online. Even coming in the door it does not say reservation only. We were pretty upset we’ve never been treated like that and will not recommend anyone go there.
Absolutely wonderful! The best Italian food that I have had since I moved out of NYC 30 yrs ago.
Love the fact that it's BYOB. Friendly and prompt staff. Amazing food!!! Great atmosphere! Place is great!!
