"In an evening in Roma, I thought if the food is as good as the music, we will enjoy this restaurant. One night in Roma, Dean Martin played when we came in. And then all the other songs of the Mob Hits continued during our dinner. I love this CD and we loved the food in Mangia. Pictures of ripe green olives and olive oil are on the walls and the carpet has olive leaves over everything. Ahhhh Yes....I love all Italian. By the way, GiGi doesn't try to be loud, it's just Italian. Lol We started with a bottle of Cabernet. Then my first course was a beautiful bowl of Pasta fagioli. Flavorful and smokey from the bacon. Next, our salads came out. My wife and I were happy to finally see this, a restaurant that doesn't put raw onions on the salad. The salad was fresh and crisp. The main course of my wife was the spaghetti alla vodka. Very good Alla Wodka sauce. Beautiful creamy taste with an unexpected basil finish. Delicious! I had Shrimp Isabella. Fresh shrimps, onions, bacon, fresh tomatoes, pernod and cream with a hint of marinara served with nebulized pasta. The taste was shocking. I usually find cream sauces to be boring. I thought I heard Dean Martin singing that's Amore about the speakers. But it was the taste of my dish singing in my head. Another delicious dish. We finished our dinner with an espresso and cappuccino with a tiramisu and a chocolate mousse cake. We also had nice conversations with GiGi and Mike. I remember Mike Cavallo from Cavallo in Town Plot when I was a kid. Mike and GiGi are warm, welcoming and friendly people."
