Trattoria Mangia

"RUDE RUDE RUDE...We made a reservation prior to coming in.So not only was the lady that was running things there rude to our party once she was rude to us twice. If she couldnt accomodate our party because they were too busy or overbooked then she shouldnt have made a reservarion. We show up early only to be told if I seat you I need the table back. In other words eat and get out. What kind of impression is this on your customers. I was repeatedly told I told you I am too busy you called last minute. We were willing to be patient as we are no strangers to busy restaurants but certainly not to be rude to our party not once but twice, I am sure just the same way they treated us the food and everything else would have been less than acceptable.I don't give my business to be treated poorly!"

"We showed up on a Thursday night with no reservations, yet were seated right away on their only available tables outside, which is fine as it’s season and we had no reservations or wait time. Staff was polite and quick to take our order, food came quick and was delicious, the Tiramisu was one of the best I’ve had, we had ordered a to-go meal which came at the right time. Overall, highly recommended place"

"We heard many wonderful comments about Trattoria Mangia, we felt we had to try it. We were not disappointed! I wanted to try a variety of food, so we ordered the calamari appetizer - incredible! We had a side of the broccoli rabe, which I could have made a meal out of alone! We had a veal which was wonderfully tender and flavorful, and a pork loin that was to die for, stuffed with prosciutto, spinach and cheese. Our waitress was attentive and quick. The whole experience was Outstanding!"

"When the menus suggests you have to try the meat lasagna …you try the meat lasagna and it didn’t disappoint! Hubby really enjoyed his dish as well! We well be back for more food! Salad was fresh as well! Sorry we were too hungry and ate right out of the container"

"Just passing through on our way back home to Tampa from Key West. I called while driving through Alligator Alley to make sure they were open (there was a photo that said they were closed till September 3). Last Saturday they're open till then, we made it! Dressed for a road trip, we made reservations anyway. This place is perfectly IT-kitchy, reminding me of all the best Italian family restaurants in NYC. Almost everything is made to-order, in-house, and OMG so good! I got the gnocchi gorgonzola and added grilled chicken. The Manimal got chicken Parm. The portions are HUGE, three meals for me, two for him. I'm fine with that! The service is awesome (Sylvana), the music is fitting for the restaurant and at the PERFECT volume where you can hear it AND talk to people without yelling (well, if you're Italian, you might be doing that anyway). I think this might be the stopping point for every drive to or through Naples from now on. Also, it's not far from I-75. And it was my birthday week so I had three tiramisu! In house made, of course!!"
