    Strange atmosphere, the resturant feels like it tries too hard to be italian. The food was quite good, I recommend the Meat Lovers Pizza. The staff were friendly but you could tell they were bored and interacted with us a lot.

    This was our first time dining at Mangia and it was a wonderful experience. Sunday evening is not very busy in this area of Avalon Park and within this restaurant. The environment was calm and peaceful. It was a little over halfway full, but I was told by the server that Friday nights and Saturday nights are very busy there so reservations are definitely recommended. our server, Sophia, was attentive and very kind. The menu was fairly expensive so I think it would not be difficult to find multiple dishes to have to choose from. There’s a great wine list and a full bar with a very attentive bartender, Justin. my husband got the chicken marsala, which was superb. The wine beef sauce was exceedingly flavorful and the portion was huge. This was over a linguine noodle. I opted for the fettuccine Alfredo with no protein added. There are options for chicken I believe and shrimp if you need a protein source. These dishes were nicely presented and exceedingly flavorful. The staff, as well as the chef are exceedingly attentive and are out amongst the customers. There is a very family feeling here and we would definitely come here regularly.

    A very authentic Italian restaurant in Avalon Park by family from Napoli, Italy. Recently moved to this location and very modern look inside. Mangia is nice for enjoyable family outing or romantic date night! Since on open table makes it easy to get reservation because place gets very busy. A must try location for good quality Italian dining. Enjoy this Tasty of Italy sooo very close to home!

    What a great find! We tried Mangia for a birthday dinner and they did not disappoint. We had four different dishes and everyone raved about their choice. We will definitely be back.
