Fantastic fare in a more intimate setting. Would recommend to anyone who's in the mood for some good Italian food!
I ordered the basil pesto rigatoni. It was a cream sauce with artichoke hearts and sun dried tomatoes. Your choice or protein. It was delicious and I believe it can be had gluten free. Our server was Maddy. She seemed young, but I was surprised and impressed with her level of attention and professionalism. I'm hoping that the owner or manager on duty will read this and pass along praises from my wife and I. The atmosphere was warm and comfortable. Music not too loud and lighting not too low. Given the experience we had tonight, and the fact that we live less than a mile away, we will absolutely be returning in the future.
Great little place!! The lunch menu is a perfect size, not too much to choose from so what they make is PERFECT. meat ball grinder was some really nice cuts of a bigger meatball, sauce ans perfect and bread had a very nice crunch on the outside. Chips and apple as a side was a nice pairing. The desserts were fantastic! Tiramisu was nice and light, berry cobbler was nice and warm again, perfect portion sizing. We are visiting from Texas, but would love to come again if I am in the area.
Wonderful atmosphere and wait staff. I had a Great salad with salmon. The salmon could have been better. The wine choices were good. All in all, a great evening. Food, wine, and atmosphere were nice.
The food was delicious. The service was fantastic. It's a bit pricey, and the menu isn't very extensive, but I enjoyed it. They didn't seem to mind my son (10 months old). We went early on a Wednesday to avoid the rush. I would recommend this place to others. They even had a cozy porch with a pellet stove for warmth. We chose that seating and it was plenty warm.
Good food, nice warm feeling inside. Doesn't look too inviting from the outside but quite nice and comfortable inside. They have an enclosed patio that has a wonderful ambiance, especially when dusk turns to darkness, the candle light reflects of the windows. Note... Don't choose the table farthest from the main entrance because there's a second entrance door right there, seems like inches away from your table, not the best table when people choose to arrive using that 2nd side door entrance
An easy pick for lunch, perfect menu to choose from. Went for the tuna melt this time and it was tasty! Parking might be tricky if you are not familiar with the area. I noticed their additional ingredients a little too late but definitely going back for a hot sandwich with sautéed mushrooms.
Cafe Mangia prepared for me a catered spread for about 30 people. Process was very simple, food was ready right on time, and every dish was fantastic. Had plenty of leftovers too. Definitely go with the chicken piccata and the mushroom ravioli. Fantastic. Thanks Jason.
I was introduced to Cafe Mangia by a friend after we biked the Airline Trail on a Sunday. We each ordered a meatball with red sauce appetizer along with a glass of wine while watching the Patriots on the service bar TV. The food, wine and service were outstanding. I've since taken my wife several times for lunch, all similar experiences. We chatted with the owner, who we discovered commuted from Providence. He's a great guy and truly enjoys what he does. If you like good Italian food, I'd highly recommend it.

Fantastic food, quiet atmosphere, but we were there late lunch, with super & personal service. They do each aspect of the meal thoughtfully which takes more time than the Dunkin drive thru. Take that time to relax and enjoy a conversation, and I hope you enjoy the experience as much as we did!
I arrived around 230 and no one made me feel guilty about coming so close to the end of lunch. Heather was my server, she was prompt and friendly. I ordered penne a la vodka which came out in about 10 minutes which was fine. The sauce was very tasty but the penne was slightly over-cooked. I didn't mind too much. Very reasonably priced and an overall good experience.
We had a delightful meal on the porch tonight! There was a slight problem with our order, but it was dealt with such finesse that it quickly became no problem at all! My husband and I both had the spaghetti with mussels and shrimp and it was to die for! We will definitely go back to this wonderful dining experience!
The service and atmosphere was great! My wife had a chicken parmesan that was a good portion, but was a little bland. I had a chicken picatta that followed suit. More lemon zest and capers would have gone far. Still a great experience and will definitely return.
World class service. Hands down one of the best Italian restaurants. There menu is seasonal so there is always something new. The specials change all the time. They had a stuffed sole that was so fresh and tasty. It tasted like it just came out of the ocean. All there food is amazing. The mama Mia martini was to die for. There cannolis are world class.
