Mangia - Eat on Main - Salinas (CA)

5 /5 Craig Manning: Eating at Mangia is like eating in your family’s kitchen. The food, the atmosphere and the people are all so warm and greeting. If you are looking for great food, great atmosphere and great people Mangia is the perfect place!

5 /5 Liz Rediske: Very good food and wine menu. We enjoyed the chicken piccata and gnocchi and dessert. And great bread! All our food taste great, with lovely presentation and the ambience is nice, and the staff is friendly. Our waiter, Ezra, was such a nice guy and knew the menu well. We will come back.

5 /5 Heather: Okay, so wow!!! Just moved to the area and stumbled on this cozy little Italian joint, and let me tell you… total gem. I had the short rib tortellini (legit melted in my mouth), and my partner got the chicken parm, which was crispy, saucy perfection. Our waitress Kayleigh? Absolute angel. Chill, sweet, and super on it without hovering, 10/10 vibes. It felt like the kind of place you instantly wanna become a regular at. Food was fire, the service was amazing, and the whole experience was just chef’s kiss. We’ll 100% be back. Probably way too often.

5 /5 K: We had a really nice dinner here at Managua. We started with the baked ricotta, and our entrees were the gnocchi and a penne special. All of it was excellent. Our server checked on us often and our glasses were always full. It’s a small restaurant, but perfectly placed downtown. Prices were good and the service was great.

5 /5 Vickie Parry: We were in Salinas while on a road trip visiting national parks. This restaurant is great! The service was exceptional, food was delicious, and atmosphere was comfortable. Highly recommend!
