Mangia Mi Calistoga

"Some of the very best Italian food we’ve ever had. Rebecca and her staff were great. We had the eggplant stack, meat lovers pizza, provolone cheese sticks and the carrot cake. Everything was incredible. Can’t wait to go back."

"Came here for happy hour recently. Got the pepperoni pizza, red pepper crostini, and $3 happy hour PBR. Sat at the bar. Service was quick and friendly. The red pepper crostinis were DELICIOUS. I got there at 540 or so and had no issues getting a seat at the bar. When I left around 620 and they had no seating available. Pepperoni pizza was good but it was really salty for me. It really hit the spot at midnight in the hotel after drinking all day though. Probably even helped me avoid a hangover from the salt! Electrolytes!! The menu on the tablet was my least favorite thing here. They write their menu on a chalkboard in another room so they take photos of it and show it to you on a tablet. I did not enjoy this. The happy hour menu is on a chalkboard in the bar which is good. I’d definitely come back, especially for happy hour! And I want to try the pasta next time. And the meatballs!!"

"I really enjoyed myself here. Everything was delicious, fresh, and the portions were large. The staff was so personable and attentive. Glad to have stopped in here."

"Went in here tonight for dinner and had an up and down experience. We got a table quickly and the servers were all very nice. It’s a cool little restaurant that has a very cozy feel. The appetizers that we had were very good (lemon garlic shrimp and garlicky broccolini)! We ran into trouble with our entrees unfortunately. We ordered the goat cheese pizza after the server said that it was hands down her favorite. She did explain to us that it had a few different kinds of cheeses, but when it arrived the amount of cheese was intense. I know what you’re thinking, “it’s a pizza, what do you expect?” Trust me when I say, it had way more than we expected, especially considering the other pizzas that had come out around us seemed to have a reasonable amount of cheese on them. It was to the point that we at the table couldn’t handle it, especially considering I’m allergic to dairy. Which brings me to my next point. During our conversation with the server about which pasta I should get I mentioned that I was allergic to dairy. When the pasta dish I ordered came out it was covered in Parmesan cheese. My body can handle some Parmesan used in tomato and meat based sauces as a binder, but the extra on top is hard for me to handle. Because of the issue we already had with the pizza I decided to bite the bullet and eat what I was given. When I brought the issue of the pizza to the server she didn’t offer much help. We ordered another to go and when the bill came we had been charged in full for both. I understand it’s not required that they do anything for us, but it sucked having to pay that bill when we were misled on the pizza description and I had to deal with a dish that is probably going to make me sick tomorrow."

"The pizza I ordered was delicious; however, I noticed that they were short-staffed the night I dined. Interestingly, everyone around me seemed to receive better service. When I was seated, I was promptly served water, placed my order, and received my food. However, once my food arrived, I didn't get a refill on water until I asked, which was 45 minutes later. Meanwhile, the tables behind me, to the left, and to the right were visited multiple times to check if they needed anything else. Even the couple seated beside me received attentive service. Another notable point was that everyone else who was seated seemed to receive information about the establishment, especially if it was their first visit. In contrast, I was only given a tablet with the menu, and that was it. There was no table setup or additional information provided. It was disappointing that neither the host, the busboy, nor anyone in management assisted the server in checking on me until after all the other tables were gone."
