Mangia

Italian BYOB in Edgewater, NJ. Convenient parking. Restaurant and store/takeout combination. All the classic appetizers, pastas and entrees offered. Some staples done unusually well. Among the appetizers are artichokes, clams oreganata, arancini. Cannoli and tartufo on the dessert menu. Prices are reasonable. Service is friendly and sometimes a bit slow.

Had a party for sister's birthday. There were 27 of us. The place was excellent! They were extremely accommodating. Food was excellent. The servers, Jimmy and( so sorry..forgot his name) were so sufficient and friendly! Everything came out in a timely manner ... Beyond pleased. Would go back in a heartbeat. Price was good and it was a BYOB. Thank you for making this a very special day!

Mangia obviously has no idea what "having a reservation" means! I made reservations for 2 for Valentine's day for 7:30. I arrived at 7:25 and waited for about 1 minute before I saw an employee to let them my boyfriend and I have arrived and ready to be seated. The guy I spoke with told me to wait a couple of minutes and walked away. 10 minutes later when I saw a female staffer I approached her and repeated that I had a reservation and she informed me that tables were not yet available. As she was in the process of explaining why my table was not ready, the guy I spoke with initially reappeared and stated that the patrons at the tables for 2 were still eating and those tables won't be ready for some time. I explained to him that making a reservation means that a table is set aside for that time and if I am late then it would be acceptable to give it to someone else, but I was on time and a table was not reserved. He told me that there was a table for 6 that had 4 people dining and they are willing to share that table with us!!! How in the world do you sit with 2 other couples who are total strangers and celebrafe Valentine's day. Needless to say we declined that invitation. Management needs to teach staff how to handle reservations vs walk ins on such a busy night.

Watch out. I was just ripped off. This was my first time and last. I ordered two stuffed artichokes, two stuffed peppers and an eggplant parmigiana to go. They charged me $12.50 per each artichoke! It didn’t have ANY (like A N Y) edible part to eat and the stuffed didn’t have absolutely any flavor. $25 for nothing. And don’t think my order came with any extra. $67.80 spent and one piece of complementary bread. Unbelievable.
