You get salad bar and soup of the day with your entree. Didn't realize that when I ordered. I got the stuffed chicken parm with vodka sauce. The picture doesn't do it justice with how big the portion was and I got a side of pasta with it as well. Took at least half of it home. Would definitely return.

This visit wasn't the best- 13 dollars for a small plate of calamari ( normally the portion is double this photo) and it wasn't seasoned at all. However, the crab cakes were amazing so perhaps they redeemed themselves. I do wish they offered a vegetarian version of the soups for those of us that are not meat eaters.

It turned out to be one of the best restaurants we've ever been to. Absolutely delicious. The calamari was best we've ever had. My wife has food allergies that make salmon one of the only safe choices on a menu. She is SICK TO DEATH of salmon. The salmon at Mangia? The best she ever had. My baby rack of lamb with grilled chorizo was incredible, as was our son's paella. EVEN THE COFFEE was the most delicious coffee I've ever had. My dirty martini was great, too, but that's not why we found the whole experience so wonderful. Enjoyed talking to the talented owner, too. And when we saw the bill, Mangia might have leapt to our favorite restaurtant of all time. I almost felt guilty paying so little for such a spectacular meal. ALMOST. And though it's described as casual, the dining area was warm and inviting. Phenomenal.

Superb menu -- and extensive specials. Truly, everything was delicious and fresh -- and GENEROUS portions! Among the table favorites -- the lobster ravioli, the calamari, chicken parm, wedge salad (special), and lightly pan-fried sea bream (also a special). Highly recommend this place when you are in Scranton -- and easy 10-minute drive from downtown.

The food was exceptional - I finally found a restaurant with an actual chef who knows what they are doing. We split the scallops with key lime, three to a plate and massive. He had the crab cakes: Maryland style; lump crab bound with just enough breadcrumb to hold together. Lemon beurre blanc was perfect. I had veal marsala: delicious and tender. The only demerit was the vegetables were undercooked, but not by much. Will go again when it's in-season to see what's changed (and when it's actually lake weather).
