Mangia Nashville

Wowwwww 🤩 absolutely outstanding Italian feast they put on for Friday and Saturday nights is amazing. I’m definitely putting this on my rotation for my Nashville trips. I can’t say enough great things about the food and the atmosphere/environment. If you know anything about an Italian feast you know it’s filled with good vibes, music and a full belly. Trust me when I say you will leave here stuffed and with great memories. The owner is part of the experience and I love that so much. Don’t miss this, 💯 worth it

This place was an amazing experience. We took my son there to celebrate his new job and it could not have been better. The food was excellent and there was A LOT of it. Service was top notch and the whole night was just so fun!

What an AMAZING dinner experience! 10 course meal over three hours. Every course was delicious and excited my taste buds. I was able to get my courses gluten-free, and my husband got to enjoy his gluten. Dance break to make room for more food was so much fun. Definitely would recommend it if you have never been. Can't wait for the seasonal menu change so I can go back.

Ok, so this will be a special one…arrived to the location with an idea of a preset menu, but I did not know that what we were going to get into, it was an experience!!! The food was amazing, for my group with a gluten intolerance issue the experience was awesome. The chef, the service, all was A++++. I am short of words to describe how good was out time at Mangia! @Chef you made us feel like family!!

I have never had more fun at a restaurant. I could not recommend this place enough. I hope that I am lucky enough to visit again. They serve 6 generous courses. My girlfriend and I were stuffed by the end of the third course. We asked for extra of one course we particularly liked and they were happy to oblige. Part way through the course there is a dance breakdown that was so much fun. The love the chef has for this restaurant is so apparent in the atmosphere that it is impossible for everyone not to feel it. The wait staff is top notch and very attentive, which in my experience is rare these days. Please patronize this place so it never goes away and the staff sees all of the success that they deserve.

I cannot say enough good things about Mangia. The atmosphere, the food, the Limoncello, the dancing, the service - all impeccable. In the fall of 2024 I went with a group of colleagues for a special Friday night event, and it was wonderful. So wonderful in fact that my entire family came back in late spring of 2025 to celebrate a special occasion. My godfather is retiring, and I was allowed to bring in my accordion and play some Italian music for him while we ate. Such a magical night! If you want to make people feel like a million bucks, bring them to Mangia!

I went to the Italian feast dining event and had the best time! Every course was delicious and everyone was very kind. My friend had the gluten free option and she loved hers as much as I did. If you go to the feast, I wouldn’t plan on going anywhere after because you’ll have plenty of leftovers!

Words cannot appropriately explain how incredible this restaurant is. Best advice, come hungry and ready for one of the best experiences. The Chef will tell you why he created Mangia. "To bring the feeling of a full heart and a full table to your life." It is an understatement how true his message is. The food is beyond delicious and customizable for those with dietary restrictions. The atmosphere is unlike anything I have ever experienced, the music, the meal's intermission for dancing, the staff making you feel like family, it is all 10/10.

This place is amazing. We came for the Saturday night feast and the food was great, the service was great, y'all gotta come for this.

The food and service are top notch. Reminds me of the parties my Italian American family had when I was a kid. Delicious and bountiful . Bring friends and celebrate LIFE!

We very carefully listed my dairy allergy when booking our reservation but our server had not seen it and questioned it (then checked and saw we had indeed listed). They tried to give me several items that had dairy. I had to ask about each of the many courses if it had dairy. I was unable to eat several of the courses. It was very stressful to be continuously asking about dairy and not knowing if I would be taken care of. They did kindly make me an icee for dessert. I would recommend this for people who can't eat gluten (another member of my party had good food options as gluten free) but not dairy free people. The restaurant shows The Godfather the whole meal.

It's an experience! We had our 10th wedding anniversary dinner here. It's a set seasonal menu, we are vegetarians so they modified their dishes accordingly. Cocktails are average. Starters were amazing (Focaccia and lemon risotto cake were amazing). It's a whole 3 h experience, and multiple rounds of food keeps coming. Dessert is cannoli which is average and Zeppole. It's also unique in that the whole restaurant starts dancing in the middle of the dinner. And the chef's concept is dinner as a big family like Italian families. Overall really nice experience.

Great food and entertainment. Great service too. Everyone eats at the same time. Worth. Checking out when in Nashville.

Great food and a fun atmosphere summarize Manigia. We went on a Saturday night with their fixed price menu and evening of music, singing and some group dancing. It was like going to an Italian wedding....a lot of fun. And the food was excellent....plenty of food prepared excellently including two appetizers, two pasta dishes and two meat entrees....all very well prepared Highly recommended!

I felt that for $70/pp the food was not up to that price tag. Lots of pasta, smaller protein portions of lesser cuts. The service was great and the "dancing" was clever. If you are in a booth (up against the wall), it can feel claustrophobic for the table is too high for the seats. Ambiance is fine.

OMG our group (of 16) had SUCH a great time last night celebrating my daughter's milestone birthday! Thank you Nick & your terrific kitchen crew and Janet, our awesome server, along with the rest of the serving staff for the most enjoyable evening! Food was soooo good. My two adult grandsons were almost arm wrestling over the chicken with rosemary. And I could have happily eaten more of the Caesar salad with the fabulous croutons or the pasta with bolognese sauce...but then how could I have had any room (altho it was a struggle I happily endured) for the to-die-for dark chocolate panna cotta drizzled with caramel & sea salt dessert? We ate. We danced. We ate some more. We laughed. We talked. We celebrated! It's been 13 years since our initial visit and we have all resolved not to wait so long till the next time. It was well worth my 4 1/2 hour drive for this destination celebration

Food is good, atmosphere is fun, if you are Welling to pay 25% Gratuity for two people. We won't go back.

Mangia has always been one of my favorite places to celebrate. I always feel as if I am having my big fat, Italian, wedding themed celebration with courses of wonderful food, dancing, singing, toasting, mixed in with a romantic feel. Thank-you to owner Nick and his amazing staff!

We wen to the weekend Fall Feast. Starting bread is very fluffy and soft. Flavor is mild but good. The lemon risotto with Mangia Mayo has great lemon flavor and is nice and crispy, amazing for sure. The rest of the food was heavenly. Will definitely be back again.

An incredibly fun night at mangia! Wanted to do something special for my birthday and this was a great way to do it Our waitress was fantastic. Friendly, enthusiastic, and quick. No notes Almost all of the food was delicious! Only negative critique is the shrimp with capers was overcooked. But absolutely delicious anitpasti, pasta, chicken, and desserts (the zappole were perfect). Just make sure to come with either a massive appetite or prepare to ask for to-go boxes The chef is clearly excited about his menu and atmosphere and loves what he does, evident in his menu and leading a dance party with his customers as "the Godfather " plays in the background Might need to move some money around, but absolutely an experience i'd like to have again

All one has to do is read the low rated reviews on here to see what your customer service style is all about. You're one of those men that's always right, can't be criticized and is so blinded by your own ego that you can't even see or take constructive criticism. From your responses, It's very clear that anyone who has a bad experience at your restaurant is lying and it just didn't happen that way. Accepting apologies that have not been offered or given must get mentally exhausting. Let me be clear I said what I said. You failed to address the most damning part of my critique and that would be a warm shrimp cocktail. Did you not remember it or is it that you agree with me that it should not have been served that way. We should have got up and walked out after that was brought to the table. It was warm plated without ice to keep it cool and put in front of us. Tell me I'm lying about that! Also when you respond to criticism remember you're talking to one person and one person only. It is not the place to try to sell your wares or to try to justify your actions with opinions of other people who do not exist. I'm not offering an apology so there is not one to accept. Also I have spent way more at other restaurants and had lovely experiences. Actual Value is always determined by the customer's perception and is not directly tied to the intended value of the business's offering. Sometimes those do not line up as is the case in this situation. I probably should have just let it go but oh well I couldn't resist.

Mangia has switched their business plan and they are only doing Friday and Saturday night with a set menu. It will not disappoint. I have celiac disease and the gluten free is so amazing you will NEVER know the difference. What a fun night with amazing food, music and dancing. This is a MUST if you are in Nashville on a Friday or Saturday night.

One of the most fun experiences I've had at a restaurant. The dancing was so fun...it was surreal to get to do that in real life. The chef obviously LOVES what he does, as does the staff. All are warm and friendly. We went with celiac friends and the chef/staff couldn't have been more understanding or accommodating. Don't listen to bad reviews about the amount of food. There was SO MUCH. And high quality. Hours are clearly posted. If they had a bad experience...that's 200% on them.

Great, exclusive, intimate, authentic experience! We very much enjoyed our night at Mangia. The only reason it was not 5 stars is there are not meatless alternatives. So if you have dietary restrictions with meat, you miss out on a few of the courses, which you are paying for. All the courses that I could eat were fantastic though!

Hands down one of the best experiences ever. Atmosphere was on point. Food absolutely amazing.. The staff. Couldn't be any friendlier.. i. Have a seafood allergy and they went out of there way to accommodate me for a salad.

Excellent food, great service, and a lot of fun! There's no way anyone is leaving hungry or dissatisfied, Nate and team are fantastic!

Amazing gluten free options! Everything on the menu can be made gluten free which is just fantastic for anyone with Celiac's Disease. My husband and I both got specialty pizzas and absolutely stuffed ourselves silly! They have a charcoal crust option which was unique but still very tasty. We finished our meal with some gluten free donuts and could not believe how good they tasted. We will be back soon! Highly recommend this place!

Had a great experience pre Corona at this joint. Since then, their hours of operation are probably the worst, most inconvenient that we've experienced with a restaurant. Tried maybe a dozen times to head over, always closed. Very crappy business model for a restaurant. They obviously don't want to make money, and be profitable. Maybe this is a side hustle gig fir the owners???

We had a group of 5 Saturday night reservations The moment you walk in, it feels like a thanksgiving family dinner. Very inviting, the employees were beautiful & kept a smile on their faces. We loved the interaction each server presented us with each entree. The first few appetizers were so GOOD! The rest of the dishes were OK. It wasn't the savory mama Mia taste that we thought we'd get. It was more of a vegan Italian taste. The healthier version of the Italian experience. The moscato is delightful. A glass is $9 or Bottle is $31 It's about $55 per person, and kids I think there is a discount. We loved the in between where we had to stand up and do Italian dancing and cheering. It was super cute. This place to me personally is more of a girls night dinner. There were Some couples but majority there were more women. Be aware that this is a 3 hour Italian experience. (We felt 2 hours would be perfect, by the second hour and 2 glasses of wine; I was ready for my bill & bedtime) Overall! The experience is super fun. Make sure to bring a light jacket or sweater, it is pretty chilly in there.

Absolutely, ABSOLUTELY 100% the BEST. Visiting Nashville from New York, reserved a Saturday night for their feast. And it truly IS a feast! Seven courses! Original, exquisite apps. Outstanding entrees. Chef Nick is from our hometown of Staten Island, NY. It is TRULY NY "comfort food." It's Grandma's Sunday table. The hot fresh focaccia, the pasta, the zeppoli that literally leapt out of of my childhood memories of Brooklyn East 5th & Church Ave ... The restaurant is roomy, and expertly staffed by Kaylie, Erica & Will (the Tweedles). Rachel ran the event like a superstar! Her energy rocked! She really made it a party . The music, the menu, the extensive wine list, the atmosphere... they really make you feel at home. No matter what state you're traveling from, if you're in Nash, make your way to this restaurant, it's the BEST Italian in Tennessee . Great food, great company FAMILIA .. Cent'anniSalute!

I've lived just around the corner from Mangia for over 5 years and I just went for the first time. And I'm kicking myself for not going sooner. It was AMAZING. We started with the Garlic Focaccia Stack (or what I call "Bread Jenga"), which came with both traditional garlic bread and the "black carbon" bread. They didn't taste too different from one another, but they both tasted delicious. The bread was perfect on its own (a feat for bread), but the trio of dipping sauces that came with the bread was divine. The white sauce was my favorite, but the two red sauces (one mild and one spicy) were also great. Selecting an entree was difficult -- there were so many mouthwatering items to choose from. But after much deliberation, I opted for the standard pepperoni pizza on the roasted garlic crust. This is a BIG 12-inch pizza. Although I absolutely could have finished the entire thing if told to do so, I tapped out after three quarters. The thin, Neapolitan-style thin crust is mildly charred on the bottom and so flavorful. It is indeed thin and a little floppy, but I had no issues picking up the slices. The pizza was topped with savory San Marzano tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella and a generous helping of flavorful pepperoni slices. This was a sinfully greasy pizza -- the grease was quite literally pooling under the crust, which did make it a tad bit soggy. That was likely a result of the pepperoni. If you're looking for a "drier" pie, consider picking one of the vegetarian options. But from start to finish, this pizza was incredible. I'm ashamed that I waited so long to try Mangia. The food was incredible, the staff was friendly and attentive and the atmosphere was fun and relaxed. I will most certainly be back soon.

My husband and I LOVE Mangias. It is our favorite restaurant. Everything on their menu can be made gluten free, which as a celiac is incredible. If that weren't enough, all the liquor they have is gluten free, so there is no worry about cocktails containing gluten. We brought my family here a while back and I made them all get gluten free food, and to their surprise they loved every bit of it. We recently got married and had Mangia cater. It again was amazing and everyone loved it. They will be opening back up soon and we can't wait!!!

Nice environment, however the food was not as expected, the pasta was hard, and their comments were, "sorry, but thats the way the chef prepares it"

Mangia is back! Their weekend feasts are back on Friday's and Saturday's, and the night is filled with so much food and fun. Each course was fantastic, and their gluten free accommodations are the best for any Italian in the city. We can't wait to come back soon!

Oh. My. Gosh. We came here today for our work Christmas party. Our work rented out the place; I assume. We were told to not eat breakfast or eat light because there was a lot of food coming our way. No lie there. We were also told it would be interactive meal and given a glimpse of the menu. I was a little apprehensive about the meal ahead of time because I can be picky at times. Fast forward to lunchtime today. The space is so cute and quaint. It's a very intimate place, but very open. The kitchen is open to guests so you can see everything being done. The booths are very comfortable and the servers are very attentive. the charcoal bread on the table was delicious. I could eat a whole loaf lol. We started off with a lemon risotto with an aioli. It was delicious. Then came our arugula salad with Prosecco vinaigrette. Intermission for some Italian dancing with all the girls. Then came entree part one: butternut squash pasta. It was delicious. Entree part two was a pork loin, rosemary chicken, and roasted zucchini. Followed by some dancing line with everyone. To top off the meals were Italian donuts. The spaced out meals and interactions made the experience and also allowed our food to settle some. My worries beforehand were definitely diminished. I thoroughly enjoyed every single course. This is a great place for a fancy date/valentines. I heard that on the weekends you must make a reservation and it's communal seating. Worth it.

Last night I had dinner with 4 of my closest friends at this restaurant, first time dining here. The manager was incredibly rude to my friend who wanted to pay for part of our dinner with a gift card she received. They refused to accept the card because it was two years old despite there being no expiration date on the card. My friend was very embarrassed when the manager berated her at our table and repeatedly asked "where did you get this?? Where did you get this??" She wanted to know "why" the card was two years old. Hello-covid?? None of us have been going out to eat for over a year. My friend checked the card balance online before we dined to make sure it was still valid and active, it was. The card she received before everything was on lockdown. On top of all that, the food wasn't very good, it came out before we received any of our drinks, we received a completely wrong cocktail that wasn't drinkable yet decided not to complain about any of that because we ALL work in customer service. And then the manager, Rachel I believe her name is decided to insinuate that we had a fraudulent card or a gift card that they "couldn't honor" and pretty much mortified us in front of the other guests. We will absolutely never return. Don't waste your money here.

Food was not worth the money they charge!!! Very bland food. Will not be going back!! I left still hungry after paying $100 a person the responses from the owner on yelp are so unprofessional and immature.

Worst dinner experience. ***owner commented telling me he accepts MY apology. So there is the proof for the terrible customer service provided here. My partner had a $100 gift card so we took friends out to dinner. The manager RACHEL returned yelling and had an accusatory tone asking where we got it. She refused to take it even though it had ACTUAL money and her so called small business got the money from it already. So shady not honoring a card with no expiration and their online site even verified the money on it. Oh and she took the gift card and refused to give it back. ALSO the food sucked. Everyone ordered meats to add for their pasta dishes and they brought the meat in separate tubs for each to mix in. Like it wasn't even cooked together. Seemed like it was all pre prepared and microwaved. So not worth the price or the terrible customer service. Never going here again and will make sure to let all my friends and family know.

Our whole family eats gluten free because of sensitivities and me being celiac so finding a good pizza place is impossible...let me tell you...we could order everything except their lasagna and they did it all Gluten Free (green plates). Their handcrafted gluten-free pizza crust was AMAZING!! Best pizza and garlic bread ever!! Please go and support this family owned small business. They are worth every penny...we even got different gluten-free desserts and doughnuts for later!! Amanda was the best server and we also got to meet the manager. Great atmosphere and everything!!

WOW this place ranks in my top 10 meals ever. My boyfriend and I came here to celebrate our 2 years anniversary. I had made reservations for the dining room, but the patio looked so nice when we got there. I asked if it was possible to sit out there instead and they were so accommodating! We started with drinks and a focaccia stack. The focaccia stack is exactly what it sounds like, a stack of sliced focaccia bread. We're not usually big appetizer people but I am SO glad we got this one-- it was amazing!! Half is regular colored focaccia bread and the other half is black and they both taste spectacular. I was disappointed that they didn't have their lemon cream sauce on the menu, but the waiter recommended Italian mac n cheese. I was skeptical but went with it. It was large shells with a really delicious white sauce, sooo much better than 'Italian mac n cheese' sounds. I can't stop talking about this place, I seriously cannot wait to come back!

What a fun experience! After reading the reviews, I had to drag my boyfriend here for the Italian Feast hosted on Fridays and Saturdays. Reservations only! A quick phone call with a follow-up e-mail confirmed our reservation. Mangia Nashville is located in a shopping center with its own parking lot, making parking a breeze. Upon entering, we were greeted and sat at a communal table with several other patrons. This is a family-style dinner experience so don't be shy! Decor features photography from The Godfather and they also play the film on silent throughout the 3-hour dining experience. The waitstaff are all fantastic. Our main hostess had a great sense of humor and helped us newbies understand how everything worked. She was so funny! They also kept the wine flowing and kept us dancing and singing the whole night! They are currently featuring the Winter Menu with a seasonal menu that rotates quarterly. Every dish was well done. Highlights were the shrimp saltimbocca stuffed portobello mushroom (I wanted a bowl full!), eggplant caponata, porcini cognac cream sauce penne pasta, veal osso buco with creamy polenta, and the tiramisu! Can you believe this wasn't even HALF the menu? You will not leave hungry or disappointed. The variety and amount of food was definitely worth the price ($50 per person without gratuity or tax). Honestly, it's a bargain! You can take any leftovers from the table to-go. Now, the dancing and singing was my favorite part! I honestly wish there was more of it. It definitely got me burning off the 10000+ calories I had just consumed and help make room for more food. You will be lead through hilarious dance moves and find yourself singing at the top of your lungs to old favorites. Come hungry! Wear your stretchy pants and dancing shoes! Get ready to meet some new people and have a blast! I'm looking forward to trying the spring menu starting in April!

This place has amazing Italian food! My daughter and I are gluten free, my husband is not and they have great options for us both. I had the spaghetti with meatballs which is something you usually can't have in a restaurant as a gluten free item. A lot of restaurants now offer some GF options, however Mangia offers an appetizer, Garlic Focaccia Stack 8 tower of parmesan-garlic-bread goodness, with trio of sauces that is out of this world. When you're GF you really miss bread, you definitely don't miss it here. If you're a dessert person, they have great options. We had the tiramisu which was delicious. However, when we go back we will be sure to try the cannoli's and the led zeppole. We had a wonderful dining experience which included great service

From reading other reviews, I knew this would be a fun night with singing and dancing but I didn't know just how exceptional the food would be. Every dish was delicious. We especially loved the pasta primavera with asparagus, tomatoes, mushrooms, artichoke hearts, etc. The salad with grilled green beans was also delicious and the dessert was heavenly!!! We also had excellent service and the dancing was even more fun than we expected!

So bad. Bad by food, well had only one pasta by 9 pm. Was too hungry and had to leave. Where was the fun? Was I suppose to eat the other 5 courses in an hour? Just sat and sat and waited but such poor food quality we left. Don't do it. Nashville has such great food and sorry I missed out on some truly great food tonight.

Okkkkk...BEST DANCE PARTY EVER! We came for Valentine's dinner and when our wonderful waitress told us there would be a dance break in the middle of our three hour tasting menu I 100% thought she was kidding. She wasn't. The chef came out and led the dancing and my husband and I had so much fun with the rest of the guests. It honestly felt like something out of a movie. The food was also fantastic! Thank you for a wonderful night

Visited this restaurant this past Saturday and I have to say that it is definitely an Italian Feast--even though I've never been to a real one, I can only imagine that it goes a little somethin like the experience at Mangia. We had reservations, so no issues with getting a table. If you do make reservations, make sure everyone in your party is serious about attending. Otherwise, you will be responsible for the absent person's $55 plate. The atmosphere was fun and lively--expect to do some dancin, so wear your dancin shoes! And bring a light sweater or jacket because it's freezing in there. As for the food, everything was pretty good for the most part. The fresh mozzarella was my favorite. My only small complaint is that some a couple of the appetizer dishes came to the table cold or luke warm at best. This did improve towards the main entre. My best recommendations, come hungry, don't eat too much bread, plan to be there for at least 3 hours and be ready for a good time!

Highly recommend..,Get ready for some awesome Italian cuisine! We did the 6 course meal and it was all very excellent. The service was great as well. We had a blast! Loved the dancing. Thank you

A CELIAC's DREAM! When I was told they could make a majority of the menu gluten free, I didn't know what to think. I don't think I've ever had so many options to choose from in my life! The owners are extremely well versed in celiac disease and take all of the proper cross contact precautions. Each meal that is gluten free, comes out on a green plate! There is also a dedicated fryer here which is just amazing. The charcoal pizza is amazing as are the zeppoles and the cannolis. When I moved from New Jersey, I didn't think I'd be able to find great Italian food in Nashville - but Mangia is it!

Loved the family feast in Saturday. There for a birthday party! It was sooo much food and all delish. Reminded me of our Sunday meals growing up! Highly recommend.

Our group walked in with an Italian wedding attitude....we all had our soprano names and accent....the food was good definitely come on an empty stomach we felt it was actually to much. We were expecting more of an interactive experience. The concept is great they need to do more on the front of the evening to set the tone! Can you please play music during dinner and dim the lights! We had a great time!

Thought the food was just "ok". I have been to Italy several times, and this food does not compare. It was just "meh". We actually had to pay and leave early without getting all of our courses, bc they were running so far behind. We were there for 3 hours! I was hoping it would be so much more!

DO NOT EVER GO HERE! If I could give ZERO starts I would. While dining here, we were told that we were "unable to read english" after asking about a problem with our check. My boyfriend and I decided to try Mangia on a Monday evening after being referred by a friend. It was a little busy when we first got there but we had no trouble getting a table. I was first a little turned off by the time in which it took to get our drink order in, in relation to other tables that had been sat after us yet already had salads by the time we got our drinks. However I understand that everyone in the restaurant business is short staffed (I work in a restaurant), therefore I did not want it to ruin my experience. When we finally got our entrees, they provide two types of focaccia bread with every meal, however one of them was black (in the end it ended up being a specialty type we had never heard of). When my boyfriend asked what it was the waitress responded "its bread." in a condescending tone. We were both shocked with her response. Finally after waiting 15 min to get our check, we realized there was a problem. On the specials menu that was at the table it said "Monday- Pints&Pies: $2 dollar pints all night". My boyfriend decided to ordered a beer thinking it would be $2. They had charged us $5 on the final receipt so I asked the waitress about it. She said that you had to get a pizza in order to get the 2 dollar pint, however that was listed no where besides the title. In our minds the title was just a clever saying and that all pints were 2 dollars. When we expressed our confusion, she began arguing with us and talking to us like children. She then said to us "you must not be able to read english". I have never been more disrespected in my life. At the end of the day it was three dollars and we really didn't care about the price we were just confused. I asked to speak with the manager and tell him what had happened, not to get anybody in trouble but to tell him the kind of language his waitstaff is using towards their guests. The owner did not seem as concerned as I would have imagined, and began blaming the occurrence to "being short staffed". In no world does being directly rude to customers relate to being short staffed. There was no reason to be so hateful other than to just be mean. I would never recommend this place and cried in the car after the experience. Not to mention the food has no flavor and resulted in bathroom issues if you know what I mean.

Love everything about this place! My favorite is of course the family feast on the weekends in the evenings. I feel like it's best spent with a group of people who love to laugh and have fun. Make sure you bring your dancing shoes too! It's so much fun to sing and dance. I'm not Italian but being at Mangia makes me wish my family were! What a good time it is. The meal is served family style but there's always plenty of food. My personal favorite is the short rib bolognese and shell pasta. So good. If there's any left, take it home! Lemon risotto cakes are also yummy, and the zeppole is fun and tasty. They're also open for dinner the rest of the week! Thursday's are half off certain bottles of wine and make a great girls night out. Beware, LOTS of food and you'll be stuffed quickly. Chef Nick is an amazing guy and I can't recommend Mangia enough! Enjoy!

Went last Saturday and the Friday/Saturday night experience did not disappoint! Dinner, great food, dancing, laughter and a celebratory atmosphere. The menu for these evenings changes seasonally but there are often recurring dishes. Note that this is a multi course meal served family style and the dinner will probably last 3-4 hours but it is a fun evening so make this the event for the night. Personal favorites for me were probably the 2 pasta dishes. The creamy pecan pesto sauce on Farfalle with asparagus was outstanding! The short rib Bolognese is also really delicious. (maybe save some of that bread from the beginning to sop up some of these sauces) Two great pasta dishes. Our Lemon chicken was tender and very good. They actually did not serve the Pork Briciole that evening as it didn't come to chef's standard so they would not plate it. Thank you Mangia! Glad to see a restaurant that takes enough pride in what they plate to refuse to plate an inferior product instead of just throwing it on and hoping we wouldn't notice in the vast amount of other food. Final bill was adjusted accordingly. Dessert featured a Coconut Panna Cotte that was oh so light and well done! Also includes the Zepola, an Italian type donut. The highest compliment on these is from my husband who says they remind him of his Italian Nana's house. Great fun evening with delicious food!

Extremely mediocre food and service. The reviews sucked us in, don't be fooled like we were. Not at all traditional Italian food by any means. Went for a birthday dinner and we were completely underwhelmed. The focaccia was dry and crumbly. Pasta was meh. The only highlight were the donut balls. Uncomfortable chairs, freezing a/c and definitely not the comfortable dining experience that we were expecting. Felt like a dull dark cafe setting. And from the looks of how the owner responds to other patrons reviews, it just shows the complete lack of customer service and ignorance. No wonder their business is hanging on for dear life. You cannot treat people with such disrespect and disregard. Truly disappointing that people like this are in the "service industry". Wasn't going to leave a review but after seeing the owners responses to other customers I'm appalled and wanted to share my honest review. Save your money, grab a jar of Rao's pasta sauce from the grocery store instead and make yourself dinner at home instead!

I am a Nashville Native and have eaten pretty much at every single restaurant (especially Italian) in this city. This spot is PHENOMENAL. The staff are incredible, especially the GM and bartender, Vinny. The patio is amazing, so I highly recommend requesting outdoor seating! We had two different pizzas and two different pasta dishes - our favs were the Caprese pizza and the Eggplant parm - YUM! The highlight of the entire night were the perfect espresso martinis to top it all off. We all agreed we will be making this our new go-to spot!

Best gluten free Italian!! I can eat just about anything on the menu including desert and not have to stress about my celiac. Love this place!

We ordered several dishes tonight and my favorite was definitely the baked ziti and sun dried creamy spinach pasta. Delicious flavor and great portions ! Chicken piccata was ok ? The pasta dishes were 5 stars !! Sadly , the chicken was a bit chewy but I'll try the chicken parmigiana next time ....might have just been my piece for others enjoyed. I also ordered the beef short rib lasagna for a dear friend and they loved the flavor ! Very safe delivery to the car with mask and gloves. Packed well and placed in your vehicle with no contact .... definitely will order again ! Salads & bread were great too .... thank you
