My wife and I took our son the train fanatic to Scranton to see Big Boy 4014 and picked Mangia for dinner one night sight unseen, based on the number of five-star reviews. 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]And though it's described as casual, the dining area was warm and inviting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Phenomenal. read more

We (party of six) had dinner here last night -- intrigued and attracted by the precious Yelp reviews. Soooooo glad we did! Warm and wonderful service from the moment we walked in. 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. read more

Went on a Saturday night of holiday weekend and enjoyed ourselves- food was plentiful and delicious, service attentive and very comfortable. We had the salad special, which was fine although nothing spectacular. We had chicken Parmesan which was a huge portion with linguine and a nice fresh tomato sauce. We also had a ricotta stuffed shells with spinach in a lovely light tomato sauce. Big wine pour. Fresh bread and butter. Very reasonably priced for the portions and quality. Would come back again if we come back to Scranton! read more

i have been here twice. I had the lobster ravioli, the sauce was really good but I thought the dough was very thick. had a very think dough. I prefer a thinner dough. The second time we were there we ordered the tiramisu dessert, we didn't care for it, I have had better. The sole I had was the special for the night and it was very good. Service was very good. read more
