We’ve driven by Mangia multiple times when in Orchard Park. We are so happy that we dedicated and evening to enjoy our time here. Our waitress was amazing, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was relaxing. Everything was fresh and presented well. We’re looking forward to returning for another delicious dinner with drinks.

Not only was the food delicious but our server was so nice! We ordered a bunch of appetizers. Arancini’s, Caprese, mussels, meatballs, and calamari. We liked every dish! Patio is large. We can’t wait to go back!

My family and I really enjoy having dinner here. When we arrived, we were able to go to a table right away because we had a reservations. It took quite a long time for them to come over to us to get any kind of drink or any service. The server said that they were in between shifts and that’s why it took so long she did apologize. Everything had great flavor. The kids enjoyed their meals and we definitely will be going back.

Great first experience dining at Mangia. The food was excellent - we ordered lasagna, crab and shrimp Alfredo and toasted raviolis for appetizer. The lasagna is HUGE on both portion and flavor. I could only finish about half and took a large piece home, probably close to the portion size that many places serve. Some of the best lasagna I’ve had in WNY. The bread was delicious and also came with bruschetta / pizza bread. Nice outdoor patio. Will definitely be back soon.

I was not impressed. I thought the prices were very high. (For pasta) Nice presentation. I ordered chicken parmesan. The 2 pieces of chicken were huge but the sauce was thick and meatless and there was a small lump of cheese, barely melted, on top. It was just ok. The $11.00 bruschetta bread was 3 very small pieces. There were 4 of us at the table! Not even enough to share. I dont think I'll be back for another visit but I'm glad I experienced it once. Our waitress was very good. Veal Marsala was very good.

Very fancy restaurant known for its authentic Italian food. I got the stuffed shells along with a caesar salad + calamari as an appetizer. This is something I’m not used to as much but it wasn’t a bad experience. Wait time for food did take awhile; but I understand that presentation matters to them. Edit: Be careful when getting sides. I ordered my entree and figured a $26 order would come with a side but my extra Caesar salad was nearly $10. Our waiter did not tell us it would be extra.

We have been dining at mangia for many years. Since Covid service has steadily declined. There was once bus help ( service assistants) who would bring water bread etc but those are now gone. This past Saturday my wife and I had dinner on the patio. We arrived at 7:15 for our reservation. We were the only ones in the lobby but yet it took 10 minutes to get our table. After sitting at our table for another 10 minutes the server finally appears. She was pleasant but did not apologize for the wait. We ordered wine and our food at the same time wine service took forever. Bread and appetizers showed up at the same time. We had to ask for silverware. Entrees showed up and I had a veal dish was just ok Portion sizes have shrunk a bit I had two small pieces of veal on my plate. My wife had a chicken dish which was good. She asked the server for salt and pepper and also ordered another glass of wine. The wine took at least 10 minutes but the worst part my wife was waiting for the salt and pepper which never came. She took the majority of her meal home as it was too cold to eat. Needless to say we definitely will not be dining at Mangia for a long time Very sad as we did enjoy dining there Also I always tip a minimum of 20% this time only 10 which was over tipping Working in the hospitality industry for over 40 years I understand service issues this server was not trained well

My husband and I have frequented Mangia for several years both as a couple and for hosting special events. Yesterday we had an unacceptable experience, in that my husband found a long hair intertwined with his first bite of the focaccia in the bread basket. He had to spit it out in his napkin and placed it on his bread plate. We told our server and she took the plate and showed it to the manager. He came out to talk with us without acknowledging the issue — rather, he had my husband explain the issue to him — then he acknowledged that he saw the hair on the plate as our server showed it to him. He said he would talk to the general manager and apologized. He asked if we wanted to continue with our meal — we were reluctant as we were turned off, but decided to keep the evening going, but overall, we didn’t enjoy our meals because of my husband finding the hair. At the end of the meal, our server said the manager wanted to offer us a free dessert to either eat there, or take home. We stated that we were full so no thank you. Our server then stated that the manager said if we didn’t accept he dessert offer, she should tell him and he would do something about the bill. She came back telling us that we got a nice discount — the manager took off the cost of my husband’s entree. We were offended that he would offer the cheaper option first — then offer us the better option if we didn’t accept. All in all, this was handled so poorly and unprofessionally. We frequent Mangia fully expecting to enjoy and pay for a good dining experience. Needless to say, we are disappointed and turned off because of finding the hair, and how it was handled. Right now, we are hesitant to return.

If I could rate the service a zero I would. My friend recommend we go to this restaurant so we gave it a try. Food was alright and atmosphere was okay but the service was horrible . We ordered our food and waited forever to get our entrees and dessert and check. Since we were waiting so long for our food , we asked for more bread. Our server made me feel so weird for asking for more because she looked angry and annoyed . When we received our bread it was thrown onto the table with no words or smile from the server . We didn’t even receive the same bread as we did the first time and the pieces looked torn by hand and not sliced . The server NEVER checked on us when we received our entree and never offered us more water . After dinner we received a box to put leftovers in, however , for some reason the server did not ask to pack our food even though she was asking other tables . After we ordered dessert , we waited forever to get one slice of raspberry cheesecake . This was THROWN onto the table as well. Never have I ever experienced such bad service from a restaurant . That being said , I will never be coming back to this establishment again. I would not recommend wasting your money here . Buffalo has more Italian restaurants with better service and good food . To answer your question below : My friend and I came in 6/19/2025 at around 6 pm and left at around 8:20 . We sat on the bottom floor by the wall with the vase decor . Close to the window but not exactly there . Our server had a high bun but I can’t remember her name . Additionally we were a walk in and had no reservation .
