Mangia Italian Restaurant

Had a taste for chicken parm, so glad I stopped by for lunch. My waitress Nadia was great. She was very pleasant, knowledgeable of the menu and made sure I had everything I needed. She also gave me some great selections for appetizers, entrees, burgers and deserts! The chef even came out to ask about my meal while I was eating. If I have taste for Italian while in the Huntsville area this will definitely be my stop!!!

This was actually my second time at this location since it opened at this present address. Some changes had been made such as tinting of the windows to reduce the effect of the sunshine and additions to the decor as well. In spite of being a storefront location, they have managed to still give the feeling of of at least a four star restaurant. Our hostess, Naidia, was kind and attentive. The Spaghetti Bolognese and Shrimp Alfredo was perfect, the bread was to die for, and the watermelon margarita was light and refreshing. All in all a wonderful experience and no doubt we will return! If you enjoy Italian then come give a try. I really think you will be pleased. And don't forget to leave a review for them and a reaction to this review if you don't mind, please😊

I took my boys here yesterday for lunch. We had to wait a few minutes at the door to be seated. Once we were someone came by to get our drink orders bc the waitress was busy. We ended up ordering breadsticks and frozen mozzarella moons. Both of them were absolutely delicious but the breadsticks were the winner! You can’t go wrong with either. We ordered an extra large pepperoni pizza and our waitress was amazing. Kind, fast and efficient. She even gave us to go drinks with out us having to ask. We will be back!

Editing to drop this score from a 3 to a 1. He’s now sick to his stomach and we are definitely never coming back to this establishment ever again and I hope those that still dine here are never affected by the lack of cleanliness this restaurant does not have. I’m giving this review a 3 star simply because we found a fingernail in our calzone. We ordered two on 8/16/2025, a veggie and a meat lovers. I ate the veggie with no issues and it was good, however my husband ate his this morning for breakfast and it unfortunately had a full peeled fingernail in it. It’s not his as his nails are trimmed and that one is clearly not. Highly doubt we’ll try this place again.

Been a while since we've visited Mangia and it did not disappoint. Drinks were refilled, warm bread was served, the kids loved the chocolate milkshakes. The cheesy bread app was practically a meal itself! Great portions for the price; we went home with leftovers for at least another meal, even two meals, for some of us (chicken parm and blackened chicken baked alfredo). Biggest praise was for Caleb, our server. He was extremely nice and inviting. Very attentive and checked in on us without being overbearing. Only downside was no gelato, as the cooler was being repaired. But we will be back and will specifically ask for Caleb as our server. 👏🏽

My wife took me here for the first time and it’s my first time ever eating shrimp scampi. I have to say this place exceeded my taste expectations. We will DEFINITELY be back here again. 100 out of 10 highly recommend eating here. Service, food, and atmosphere were simply amazing🔥🔥🔥

We had a great visit with a great server, Caleb! We had a calzone, fried ravioli platter with fries, and manicotti. Everything was delicious! I did like the ravioli but it was a pretty thick breading so I might try the regular ravioli dish next time because they were still very tasty. It would be nice to have the option for Zucchini fries instead of regular fries even if portion is less 🙏

TLDR: Good but needs some improvement on taste. French onion soup was very good. As was the salad and bread sticks. The veal was tender, but the breading was a bit salty. The marinara sauce, for my taste, had too much oregano and not enough basal or garlic. Really liked the atmosphere, and staff were attentive.

The food here is so good! My boyfriend from out of town loves it so much that i've brought him to go baked zitis to reheat in the oven. The servers are always so pleasant, the booths are super comfy. My favorite is the tortellini

Really more like a 3.5 but...eh, overall. Attended my BIL's birthday dinner here last Sunday evening. I wasn't super jazzed about going here at first because tbh I'd heard some pretty iffy things, but I'm pretty sure the place is under new management so I decided to go in with an open mind. The restaurant is a good bit bigger than I expected it to be, sporting a lot of tables and a rather fancy-looking full bar. The decor is kinda kitschy classic Italian vibes. Plenty of parking since it shares a shopping center with a Publix. My husband was cold the entire time we were there but I was comfortable enough. They had several pretty big group gatherings at once on Sunday evening, and it did get a little loud, but we didn't suffer in terms of attention or wait times. The highlight of my experience was our waitress, Kristy. She was very pleasant and super accommodating to our group of six extra-hungry, extra-thirsty folks. Think I lost count of the number of times she had to go fetch refills. There was an automatic gratuity for our party but she certainly would've earned her tip regardless. I'll also tip my hat to the management overall; for example, BIL ordered a large calzone. Kitchen accidentally made him a medium one. The medium was so large you easily could've fooled us into thinking it was a large, but instead, they made him another large calzone and let us keep both. Very kind and generous. The other best-thing was definitely the fried mozzarella cheese wedges we got as an appetizer. There were only three to an order and I wished we'd ordered more because they were delicious, especially with the fresh and herbaceous marinara sauce. I also thought the breadsticks were good, if rather salty. In fairness to the restaurant, husband and I were probably the two least impressed party members and we're also probably the hardest to please. Our table ordered a wide variety of items from the menu and everyone except for us was very pleased. BIL got a calzone, SIL 1 got the pasta carbonara made with alfredo (which, whiny moment here: real carbonara "sauce" is just eggs and hard cheese, NOT Alfredo sauce...it's my favorite pasta dish ever and it's impossible to find anywhere in town that does it the traditional way ugh), SIL 2 had a personal pepperoni pizza, and her BF had chicken alfredo. My husband also ordered a calzone and I had the baked blackened chicken alfredo. My biggest complaint is that the chicken in my dish was just...weird. I didn't like the texture at all and didn't care for the flavor much either; I honestly wonder if it was cooked from frozen. I ate around it. The blackened alfredo sauce and pasta was decent if only slightly spicy and very salty. Very salty was a theme for most of what I tried and I was a little disappointed that most flavor profiles were just salty or creamy and little else. Husband felt similarly. The portion sizes were absolutely MASSIVE, and I say that as someone who tends to eat her main meal at dinner and therefore comes with a big appetite. Three people probably could've split a medium calzone and been okay. Personally, I'd prefer a lowered price and smaller portions, or the same price and higher quality ingredients, but if you're coming to fill up your belly, you absolutely will get full. Idk, I'm probably coming across harsher than I intend to; we had a pleasant and enjoyable enough time and my BIL was very happy with his birthday dinner, which is the most important thing. Ultimately, I'd be willing to return to this place if someone else was inclined to visit.

Had a pepperoni calzone and chicken Alfredo. Both were great. Nice fancy interior for date nights. Staff were friendly and speedy.

The first night in our new town-so glad we chose to eat here! Non-descript outside at the end of a strip mall with Publix being the anchor store. Inside is much bigger than we thought it would be. DeEbony was our server and she was so very friendly and helpful. My husband is Italian and very picky about Italian food-he got the Italian nachos which was a HUGE appetizer. He could not stop eating them! I got the lasagna-so, so good-and I could only eat half. Breadsticks were okay. Prices were reasonable-and we will definitely be back. One note: the restaurant's description on Yelp says they have stromboli, but they don't anymore. Husband was initially sad-but the menu is huge and our food was great! We asked about the pizza and found out they have a lunch special, so we will try it next!

We were in town for a family event and had several of us stop in for dinner. The staff was very attentive and did a great job of making sure glasses were full. I had the blackened chicken Alfredo and my wife had the ravioli. Both of those were terrific and highly recommend. Be prepared for large portion sizes. Also don't forget to get the cheese bread sticks. Another group in our party shared those with us and they are great.

Stefinie was an amazing waitress, her smile was contagious and her service was enjoyful! She suggested great entrees and desert ! All staff seemed to be Aces we will visit again !

Our server Caleb was wonderful. He was very attentive and super accommodating. The cheese sticks were awesome as was the pizza! Thank you all for a great night

So I decided to try Mangia again and my experience this time was so much better than the previous visit. We were immediately greeted and the hostess sat us at a booth. The restaurant itself is a nice size and decorated beautifully. Our waitress was super nice and gave us some recommendations, which we tried. And I am so glad we listened to her because the food was great!! This is the 3rd Italian restaurant I have visited in this city and this one by far is the best! I ordered the baked blackened chicken pasta and added shrimp. The food came out hot and fresh. The only negative I had was it had a lot of cream sauce, but other than that, it was delicious. We also ordered side salads and again based on the waitress's recommendation, I had the blueberry cheesecake. Omg! It was so delicious and the blueberries were sweet. Great way to top off our dinner! All in all, great food and the staff waa great so will definitely be back.

I'm giving them two .. only because one star is reserved for restaurants that really shouldn't exist. Pesto pizza appetizer: One word - SALTY !! I can feel My kidneys going into overdrive, probably got a weeks worth of salt in that. . No reason why pesto has to be sobsalty. The cheese is salty enough that you don't even need the pesto to have any salt. The crust was pretty run-of-the-mill. Tiramisu: It wasn't fresh. Some part of it was still frozen - took away from the delicate nature of this dessert. Was really disappointed because I was craving some nice dessert after spending a week without having any .

Ordered pizza for New Year's Eve dinner and it was greasy heavy and will never order it from there again. Very disappointing.

We've ordered from Mangia several times and the food is always really good! This is the first time we dined inside and it was a good experience! There is plenty of dining spice inside with both booths and tables. They're all spread out so you don't feel like you're right on top of another table. It doesn't seem to be super busy inside each time we've gone. Carry out orders seem to be more popular than dine in. We were seated without a wait. The service was both fast and friendly. Our waitress Kristin was awesome and did a fantastic job. All the food was delicious and came in fairly large portions. I highly recommend trying the cheesy bread and hummus platter if you're looking for an appetizer. The Greek salad is also tasty. If you're looking for pasta, you can't go wrong with the blackened chicken Alfredo. The coolest thing about this restaurant is they have an autonomous robot bring your food from the kitchen to your table. I've never seen this anywhere else and we thought it was super cool. They also have a really neat spinning gelato freezer. They have soo many options for dessert and they're all outstanding. You can sample the gelato flavors which there are a ton. They also have tiramisu and cheesecake that we loved. Highly recommend checking this place out! We will be back soon

We had a great meal at Mangia. The staff was very kind, professional and attentive. The breadsticks were hot and phenomenal. My wife had the shrimp scampi and she loved it! I had pizza and it was thick and filling and you'll have leftovers to enjoy the next day. Definitely kid friendly as well. I recommend this spot!

excellent food! great service! came in from Nashville for convention and will return just to eat here. my mother was from Naples Italy. it was a good as my mothers cooking! made me miss her!!

Food and service was great! Plenty of leftovers to take home as well. Would recommend. 5 star.

The best Italian food in AL! Service was fast a flawless. I recommend.. well anything on the menu!

Visited Huntsville last week and this place was recommended by our hotel staff and boy were they spot on. I ordered the lasagna and my wife ordered the Stromboli (medium) and I'm telling you it could feed three adults or a family of four. We ate about 1/3 of it and had the rest when we got home the next day, home was St Louis. The bread stick hot out of the oven were delicious. The lasagna could feed two people and was delicious. Staff was friendly and helpful, even the robot that delivered our salad. Highly recommend this place and when in Huntsville we will be back.

Not the best Italian food we've had. The food is eatable and the service is great. The restaurant is clean and a wonderful place for pizza with the family.

We dropped by with a party of 12 on a Sunday afternoon. There's plenty of parking, and the inside of the restaurant is very well-kept. Our server was incredibly polite and attentive throughout our entire experience. We had a bit of a rowdy group, and she made dining at Mangia a pleasant experience by joking along with us. We ordered the breadsticks and mozzarella cheese sticks for appetizers, and they were both hot, fresh and delicious. I had the Blackened Chicken Alfredo as an entrée and it was fantastic! We also ordered the Buffalo Chicken Salad, and it was fresh and plentiful. The menu is quite extensive, so you should have no problem finding something you'll enjoy.

Need a senior menu. Too much food with too high of price. Reduce portion & price for us seniors

It's a very chill place to eat, nice and quiet with very delicious food. The service is great and R2-D2 delivered my food. I like the Mediterranean pizza so much I say I'll order something else but when I get there I always order it along with a Kentucky bourbon barrel vanilla beer. Their calzones are delicious too. The only place that could give them a run for their money is Joe's pizza in mobile al, who also is from Italy and then Brooklyn.

Horrible service with horrendous food!! Shortage on many pastas plus food over done tasteless. We had dinner there it was horrific. Than put an order in for calamari rings they came extremely over dime fried with no protein mostly fried flour mixture of some word

Terrible customer service. Want to get a pizza with half pepperoni and half without? Forget about it. The reason? "It slows down the cooks" What a ridiculous excuse for lack of customer service. It's further evidenced in their complete lack of printing a kids menu. They theoretically have one, but it's a secret menu that you have to ask your waiter about. Then they rattle it off quickly without telling you prices... The reason is because every kid meal is almost $10. Good luck with that, y'all. What a shame. We used to love this place. Won't be back at this point. Time for something else.

Had the mushroom Alfredo. Super good. Service was fast. Nice place, wasn't full for lunch.

It's a good family dining experience, the food is tasty if you're looking for something quick and filing! I have gotten food poisoning from this restaurant twice unfortunately, once from their location on Hey 72 and once from the Zeirdt Rd. location. I don't eat there anymore but they're good people!

Poor service. I've called in for a pickup twice and when I got there, I stood in the lobby for at least 10 minutes. I left and called back to cancel my order.

Mangia is a wonderful place to visit for amazing Italian cuisine. They are typically not very busy and the staff is wonderful.

Not sure what is going on but we used to love going here for great Italian food but that has changed in the last year. The past two times we have gone the food has been very bland and the atmosphere seems like a prison. Not sure what happened to the food made with care and the great atmosphere but that has been gone for some time now. Good seems like it is thrown together and the staff seem like they want you to order and leave as soon as possible. Sadly I cannot give this more than two stars but I wish that would change.

This place is great! The baked blackened chicken Alfredo is absolutely delicious. If you're looking for hearty, delicious, Italian comfort food, look nice further! I only ordered takeout so I can't speak to the restaurant itself, but the food is great.

This is truly some of the best Italian cuisine I've ever had!! My wife and I went to their previous location and were not impressed. That location is no longer in business, and this current one opened sometime in the last year or so; and man-oh-man did they retool their operation, as the chow is knock-your-socks-off good!! Heading back for another taste today and I suspect it'll be just as good. We'll be trying something else from the menu to get the overall experience of their quality. Don't pass up Mangia if you're hungry and love good Italian cuisine, as it is outstanding. For the people whining about poor service, well, tell me where that isn't the case during the current state of affairs with service industries being understaffed? Also, this is not a fancy restaurant folks, it is in a strip shopping center for heaven's sake. If you're going there to be waited on hand and foot then you've chosen the wrong restaurant, and are a poor chooser of such. Getting your ego stroked = cost-a-plenty. If you're seeking actual good food and can tolerate a bit of disjointed service, like everywhere else, then look no further than Mangia. Oh, and the robot is fun! Its Huntsville, Alabama...hello!! NASA and the Defense Industry; the perfect place to have a cute little robot deliver food to your table; Kids and geeky engineers love it! I found myself greeting it with a "hello" every time it glided past our table. :-)

worst "Italian" place i've ever been too! i honestly think it's pretty offensive for them to even consider themselves an Italian place. not only did i have to wait over an hour to get take out there which was one 2 items, they didn't even start making my order until i came, then after 35 minutes of me waiting there they come out and tell us "sorry we messed up the calzone" then we had to wait another 30 minutes. In our time of waiting there we saw about 5 people just walk in and immediately pick up their food while we were still waiting then after we FINALLY got our food. We even got followed to the car, cause they STILL thought they got out order and wrong!! at this point i didn't even want my food, and i never wanted to step foot in there again. The staff were so unprofessional and rude, and seem like they don't even care to be working there. Would not recommend at all

Well, Mangia needs some help, especially from the ownership/management area. The Italian guy which I assume is the owner seems to be putting out fires rather than preventing them. His wife/girlfriend in the spandex sitting at what looked to be the closed bar, on a Saturday, staring at all the customers in hate, made it awkward, especially when she kept getting up to get stuff for her coffee, naturally everything she needed was on the bottom shelf somewhere she loved showing off that hail damage, if you know what I mean. The Italian guy was sitting down and talking to her a lot. The wait time to be seen by a sever when we were seated was average, about 30 seconds to the table. The sweet tea was undersweetend but drinkable, what was funny about the teas they gave what looked to be coffee straws to drink through, cute touch.....not! We were informed the the bread sticks are no longer free and they are $5, I asked if they were better than from their last location, she said yes, as we were really hungry, we were ordering with our stomach rather than being sensible, needless to say the bread sticks weren't improved, they were the exact same thing from the 72 location, thawed bread and what tasted like canned sauce, served in a cafeteria style plastic cup in a ballgame style basket. They also took about 15 minutes to get to the table. Don't get the bread sticks that every other restaurant offeres for free, that's just nickel and dimming the customers. We also ordered an appetizer and entrées, like I said our stomachs were doing the ordering. After about 20 mins of the order being taken I noticed that thier was no food coming out of the kitchen. We also started to notice the waiters and waitresses starting to get annoyed with everything, one service station, for a 65+ seat restaurant is stupid, they were constantly stacked on each other, adding to thier frustrations. Now they did have this little robot there that took a plate of food out to the tables, it would be cool, if they could actually put out some food. I would have hired another cook or bartender before that stupid plate carrier, making more production rather than a plate carrying plastic mascot. It was pointless to have, as it took longer to get the food to the table rather than a sever bringing it to you. More kitchen staff = more food being served. Robot should come last. Stupid investment. After 40 mins of waiting we had to throw in the towel, no appetizer, no food, only 2 tables were served in 40 mins. A table down from us said they were waiting 55 minutes. So that was it for us. When we asked for our check the waitress went to talk to the Italian guy and he yelled at her to yell at the kitchen staff for our food. That was really unprofessional, that's his job, he was obviously to busy cleaning his wine glasses. Needless to say I think we are done with this place. I can't recommend the establishment.

Three of us decided to try this Italian restaurant on Zierdt Road. The Host was nice and the Waitress was nice. We ordered wine and mushrooms as appetizers. Waitress promised breadsticks as soon as they came out of the oven. We ordered our entrees. Chicken Alfredo with extra sauce; Chicken Carbonara which is Alfredo on penne pasta with bacon; I ordered the Vegan Spaghetti and Balls. The chicken dishes arrived and finally the breadsticks. The Host came by with my vegan spaghetti and told me he noticed twice that the kitchen had added cheese to the vegan dish. I took a bite then remembered that I had noodles instead of zucchini spirals. I had mushrooms but no squash nor falafel. They were out of falafel, not sure about what happened to the squash. The waitress took back my dish to make it right with the zucchini spirals. Meanwhile, my friends chicken carbonara was dry and salty and she did t want to take the remainder home. My other friend liked her chicken. Alfredo and took the remainder home. I finally receive my vegan zucchini spirals with no squash nor falafel but with mushrooms. Now the marinara is like soup. I'm assuming due to some frozen then thawed zucchini spirals. It's ok just no protein and no apology and by the time we receive some more breadsticks I am done. Our waitress had taken up the habit of dropping off the breadsticks or waters and running now without asking us anything else or addressing the almost full dinner of chicken carbonara still left and my dish that was incorrect twice. No recommendation for these three dishes for sure.

We went back yesterday late, Sunday night, and it was busy. It looks like all the advertising is working. The pepperoni pizza was very good with lots of pepperoni's. The Manicotti was large and loaded with chees. And of course, we started with the yummy cheese bread (aka. Crack Bread). Now, that little robot running around bringing your food did frighten me. Runnn!

The food is always decent sized and good, however, the weight staff is disengaged. Upon occasion, they might even said you had a dirty table with dirty menus - have a nice day.

My wife Wants me to say something nice, so I will say that the water came out OK. We got there shortly after 5 PM and ordered a child's pizza for my son and an order of cheese tortellini with breadsticks and a zucchini appetizer. The plan was to have a dinner before my son had to leave for baseball at 6:30. The waitress is very nice and told us she would place a rush on the order to make sure we had it on time, although I thought we would be fine. After about 40 minutes she did come out with the zucchini appetizer. It was mediocre at best. I finally had to leave about 10 minutes after six. No food ever arrived. I would like to be able to review the food, but they never served us. My wife did stay behind to get it to go. Maybe will be OK as leftovers tomorrow, we had to skip dinner tonight. The awful, slow service makes this a definite do not go to restaurant.

Where do I begin... we used to like Mangia, but they are now under new management. Every item we ordered with red sauce (kids spaghetti, manicotti, chicken parm) was inedible. The new marinara sauce is BAD. Thankful there were so many breadsticks in one order, because that was all we ate. Our waitress openly told us that she didn't like children (while we were sitting there with our 2 and 4 year old). She then rolled her eyes walking by her new table she was waiting on, because one of their children was being loud. Maybe this was an off day, but after an overpriced, inedible meal, we will be taking our business elsewhere.

First visit tonight. Ordered tortellini because it is easy to prepare and should give a decent indication of how good the chef(s) is/are. If they can do that right, the other dishes may be good as well. Unfortunately, the tortellini was not timed well with the other dishes at the table and had cooled off and started to get hard/chewy. It was served with hot (temperature) sauce, but the dish was well below average at that point. I think the menu is too ambitious for the number of people that are going to eat there. With all those choices, most all of the food has to be frozen. I would scale back the menu and prepare meals with fresh ingredients.

We arrived before 11 a.m. we were the only patrons in the restaurant. We were not greeted warmly by either of the women at the front desk. Bread sticks were available for a charge. That's pretty unusual for at least the first basket of bread to have a charge at an Italian restaurant. It took 40 minutes for our food to be delivered with only 3 other tables having diners. The waitress was slow and did not check back with us during our meal. We were such fans of the Hughes location where the staff was friendly and the service was prompt. We will not be back to this location.

Ate at Mangia a few times now and had the Carbonara and really enjoyed it and the bread sticks. The Marsala was not good at all IMO. Another visit I tried the pizza and it was over cooked but was still excellent. After trying several pizza places around Huntsville Mangia's is my favorite.

This place has the best of Huntsville and the surrounding areas. I miss yous guys! The food is always fresh and delicious. If you're not satisfied with your meal, they'll make it right!

**update** Have eaten here three more times and every time is delicious and a great value. Yum, yum! Great to order to go or delivery. This place is GREAT. The staff was super friendly and attentive, the salad was lots of fresh mixed greens with ripe tomatoes, cheese, cucumbers and croutons, the ranch is GOOD! I had eggplant parm and my friend had chicken Alfredo, both meals were totally delicious, tons of food. The next day I ordered a pizza and it was sooo good. I highly recommend this place, I read the other reviews and don't understand how they didn't like it. The prices were reasonable and there's lots to take home for leftovers. The breadsticks are .99 for four and you'll definitely end up ordering more, they're so good! This isn't a fancy shmancy place, so if you want fancy you'll need to go downtown. It's a casual sit down restaurant with fab food and friendly staff!!

Don't waste your time or money on this place. The staff doesn't care if you have a bad experience and neither does the owner. We know that because he said as much when we reached out to him. Worst dining experience ever!

Pizza and salads are really good here. My kids love the robot that brings your food to the table! Sometimes a little understaffed, which can make things take a bit longer. If you are not in a rush, this is a solid choice.

this place is the best place I've ever eaten at there bread is exquisite and there shrimp Alfredo is the freshest shrimp I've ever eaten the gelotto is great and the cheesy dough bread was delicious it was so cheesy the best thing there

I ordered from this restaurant for the first time last night. I did think the prices were a bit high but figured it was worth a try. The door dash delivery driver was great but when i opened our food the extra meatball (that I paid an extra $4 for) wasn't in with out spaghetti. I called and was told that if I got 3 meatballs that was an extra one because the new owner changed it to larger meatballs but you only get 2. Well....that's not what the order says! Also, $19 for spaghetti, $13 for cheesy bread, and $4 for one extra meatball is not worth it for the portions or taste.

Went there for wedding anniversary. Decided to give under new management a try. If your in s hurry call ahead for pick up. Ordered the cheesy bread. 4 stars. The rest went down hill. Daughter ordered an inedible chicken marsala hour for the food. The server was great.

Terrible service we waited 20 minutes never had a waitress come by even after asking another waitress for help. Didn't eat cause nobody thought our table of 6 was worth there time or our tip.

Best italian food in town. Freshly made. The lasagna is to die for. Portions are more than enough. Everything we have had there is great. Service very attentive and helpful. A bit pricey though.

Cool robot but the humans provided terrible service. . . . . . . We sat for 10 minutes waiting for someone to take our drink order. 4 waiters stood nearby talking to each other. We walked out.
