Sadly, this place has a lot of positive press. Showing up on a Thursday night seems to be a bad idea at this restaurant. Mangia's waitresses are surly and clearly ready to go home at 9PM. Although the restaurant claims to be open till 10, service in the front stops at 9. I requested that the food be brought to us slowly, and we were served with soup AND Entree within 7 minutes. The food was mediocre at best. Sauce was generic and acidic, the Penne had an undercurrent of cheap vegetable oil, and too much flour in the sauce. The chicken in the Penne was clearly pre-cut and frozen from a bag. The highlight of this expensive ( average of $12.00 per plate) meal was the owner who was affable, but non apologetic about the service. . . The Pino Grigio was a mid range pour, and not cheap for a glass of wine. Mud Pie, and Coppa Coffee for dessert worked well, but was not really memorable. Music in the back was a mix of standards, and latin jazz. Most of the clientele were happy-hour left overs.

Provided by YP.comI have been to this restaurant and it is not called Mangia Bene, It is called Mangia Italiano - However, Mangia Bene means EAT WELL, in Italian so maybe you do have the right place.
If you have ever been to Italy and you want to relive some of those great memories of the food and atmosphere, then go to Mangia Italiano on Third.
I went in to listen to their Thursday night Jazz Jam in the back Banquet room and discovered the best Italian food since I was in Rome.
Trust me! Try it - You will like it.
