We t to this restaurant on a whim with my 7 year old boy & was quite impressed. We both had the seafood linguini which was delicious. Fresh shrimp & mussels, not frozen! The soups were really good also. The decor is welcoming & has some nice touches. The timing for the serving of the food could have been better. We got their (homemade delicious focaccia) bread halfway through the soup, & the entrees were served before we had finished. Server was friendly & professional however. Would definitely recommend.

We were a party of four & we had the vegetarian pizza, vegetarian linguine & chef's salad. Portions were large enough for all of us to share. Delicious food. Washroom area was clean but hallway leading to it is a bit dingy looking.
While the food at Da Mangione is undeniably tasty, the service leaves much to be desired. I once visited around 7:50 PM on a Thursday or Friday, hoping to enjoy a meal. When I asked for a table, a waitress rudely told me to "go read what's on the door," stating that the restaurant was closing. Confused, I went outside to check, & the sign clearly indicated they were open until 10 PM. Despite enjoying their food, I'm proud to say I've never returned. Good food should be paired with good service, & unfortunately, Da Mangione falls short in that regard.

Food had a great taste the salad dressing compliments the flavor & does not take over. The pasta has a light aromatic taste mixed with the delicate black pepper. The ice cream is creamy & the perfect temperature to be cold but not hard.
Order 5 pastas. 3 of 5 were not good. Called in to let them know, then the real customer service kicks & after trying to explain, they hung up. Definitely not ordering from there again & if you're ordering from there, avoid they Gnocci (so soft it will stock all over your mouth) & pasta Alfredo (need salt or seasoningl. Gamberi wasn't too bad, the pasta portion was on the soft side. Check the video. I know everywhere makes their food different but highly doubt it's supposed to be as sticky as the video shows. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Think I was more disappointed with the customer service when we called.
