    Beautiful inside & out.
    Doug M.

    Very impressive place architecturally! Food? Not so much. Over salted (everything) a rookie mistake. Our steaks were stone cold in the middle (ordered med rare). Really crazy that we dropped $300 for 3 of us and I went home and made a sandwich. Lol. Stupid. Lately eating out is closer to attending a comedy show than enjoying well prepared quality cuisine. We informed our waitress and who I believe to be a manager about these issues with the food - we were offered a very thin slice of cheesecake that measured 1" x 3" - more comedy. This was a Christmas celebration for a family member that will be gone during Christmas. We all agreed that we should have invited her to come to our place where we can definitely cook better food than Mangiamo's.

    Beautiful atmosphere, relaxing almost like a "speakeasy ".Full bar up & cocktail lounge down stairs. Beef was very tender & delicious. Lasagna is probably the best I have had in Grand Rapids. One of the best dinners we have had here in Grand Rapids

    I don't know that I can do this review the justice it really deserves. Mangiamo was truly spectacular! The restaurant is an old mansion with quite an interesting history. The Mansion was originally a private residence built in 1872 and owned by a lumberman and his wife. Then it was turned into a Friary. It's been a couple different restaurants since the 1980s. There are banquet halls on the second and, I believe, third floors. They also had a giant tent on the grounds for out door events. I highly recommend reservations as they were very busy even for a week night. The Mansion is located in the middle of a neighborhood. I was worried about parking but have no fear. There is free on site parking. The grounds were beautiful and the mansion itself is exquisite! We had reservations for the Study which was small but beautiful with only a few tables. It has a romantic feel to it with huge gorgeous windows, soft lighting, and a giant fireplace. Our server was incredible. She took great care of us and helped us navigate our wine choices as well as the food menu. We decided on a bottle of Pinot Noir and started with, my favorite, muscles. I couldn't decide on white or red sauce so they split them for us. In the end the red sauce was our favorite. It was so flavorful. Delicious. We also chose the Lobster Thermidore and Beef Bolognese. I have never had Lobster Thermidore before and was absolutely delighted. My mouth is watering thinking about it. The portion sizes were enormous and we ended up with a big container of leftovers to enjoy the next day! After dinner we headed on down to the Mansions "dirty little secret"; A speakeasy called Mo's cocktail lounge. We also truly enjoyed ourselves there! Safe to say that I recommend this restaurant and I'll be back again!

    This place is AMAZING! The ambiance is unmatched, the service is wonderful, and the food is delicious. We switched up our reservation when we got there and they were more than accommodating. Every staff member we interacted with was super attentive, helpful and knowledgeable. Our server, Bailey, was just incredible. We took our time at dinner and she never made us feel rushed, was super knowledgeable about the menu, and made us feel so welcome. She's amazing!

    A fun date night spot! The vibes are the best part of this restaurant in my opinion. The food is not much to write home about, especially for the price. The service was great!

    A very unique dining experience, I wanted to love but it fell a little short. Firstly, they do have their own parking lot which is nice and convenient. I liked the overall vibe of the restored mansion, and thought the different rooms/dining areas were cool. We had made a reservation for earlier in the evening and were seated at a table in the front room after you pass the bar area. I'm not sure if other dining rooms had better service but I think our waiter was also the bartender?? He barely waited on us and time between appetizers to main course was a good 30 minutes. In all that time, we never even saw him to order more drinks or anything. Maybe they were just short staffed that night? Hard to say. Anyway, I thought the food was good overall but not outstanding. I really enjoyed the complimentary bread, especially the one with olives! As an appetizer, I ordered a half dozen oysters, but would pass on these next time. I also had a NA cocktail but unfortunately it was very sugary. Later in the meal I ordered an espresso martini and that was better. We also tried the beet salad and eggplant burrata, which were both good. Prices and portions were reasonable for a nice dinner out.

    Recommend the Trefethen Merlot
    Lorie C.

    Restaurant setting in a gorgeous historical house. Beautiful outside and decor inside. A number of different rooms. We were seated in the front library type room with beautiful fireplace and seating areas. I started with a glass of their Trefethen Merlot which was excellent. Next I ordered their Truffle Soup - highly recommend, delicious! My daughter ordered their oysters which were just okay. Next we ordered to share the Beet Salad and Eggplant Burrata which were very good. Espresso Martini for after. All good but unfortunately terrible service. They were definitely understaffed. Very long wait times and waiter not to be found. Hopefully that was an off night. Otherwise I would recommend!

    Came back to leave another review after yet another successful experience at Mangiamo. Here to say that if they have no fans I am dead.

    Mangiamos is not just a restaurant it's an experience! We made a reservation and went last night (a Thursday) and it was very busy! That's a great indication of quality and service. Our server Taylor was amazing. She was very knowledgeable about the menu both food and beverage. After some discussion and questions we chose the two most popular items on the menu and were thrilled with them. We started with a glass of wine and a craft beer delivered by charming Liam! The pork dish is a shank served over yummy polenta with beautiful fresh root vegetables. It was a generous portion and so delicious that my husband devoured it. It was fall off the bone tender!! The scallops were huge and flavorful served with a fun sauce and fresh broccolini and carrots. This is truly a fine dining experience. The menu includes starters, salads, pastas and entrees. There is also a steak menu with separate side dishes. A fun speakeasy called Mo's is in the basement and has an outdoor fire pit. It was a magical evening for both of us! Thank you Mangiamos (ask for Taylor!)

    This former residence, now a restaurant has an amazing ambiance-very moody. Food and service excellent! Would strongly recommend. Cute speakeasy in the basement worth going down for a very creative cocktail.

    Took my wife here for her birthday dinner and we were both VERY impressed! First of all, the decor in this restaurant is top notch. It is very high end and luxurious. It is so cool eating at a place that is so much nicer than your standard restaurants. The service was very attentive. Definitely make a reservation. There were a couple open tables, but the place is also very large with multiple dining rooms, so I wouldn't count on just walking in. All of the food and drinks came out with perfect timing, so we didn't feel rushed, but also weren't bored waiting for our order. All of the food was soooo good. You can tell they use great quality ingredients. The prices are reasonable for high-end, quality food. Unless you're getting a fancy steak or lobster, nose dishes were about $25 or so. I will definitely be coming back! It's such a cool restaurant you have to experience it for yourself. p.s. don't forget to find the small, speakeasy type bar in the basement for a cocktail!

    Stopped in for drinks and appetizers and wished we had stayed for dinner. This place is breathtaking and service was amazing. Ian was our server and he was so friendly and attentive. The mussels and burrata bread were unreal. Bottle of wine and NA Aperol Spritz delicious. We can't wait to go back and try full entrees and maybe get a drink the basement bar. Definitely a place to go for celebrations and special occasions.

    Pursuit of Happiness Co is the girl she says she is!…read more The atmosphere is modern, chic, and makes me want to hang around for hours. I was personally impressed mostly by the Spritz menu. The cherry spritz, mama I dream of it still . My only qualm is that I am a stickler for good glassware ~ I would like to see the beverages with a stem. And based on the aesthetic I know the owner could find some classic glassware. We need more places like this in GR, and I need more POH in my LIFE.

    My friend and I popped in the other night to warm up for snacks and bubbles and had a lovely time!…read moreWe sat at the bar and ordered some burrata while sipping on a glass of the brut. It was fairly quiet but the staff was friendly and the vibes inside were so filled with holiday cheer! I love how they decorate the space and you can purchase little things to go and just enjoy time with your friends, whether it's for a fancy girls night or just having a chill night out. Whatever your vibe is, Pursuit of Happiness is a wonderful woman owned business that I love to support! It's kind of tucked away from the bustle of the street, but you can easily find some off street parking around the corner in a lot or find some street parking pretty easily, which is really nice. I always forget this place is here but I always enjoy it when I come back! I need to keep it in my rotation and come back more often! The vibes are just too good.

    General Wood Shop is such a fun spot on Bridge Street. They are LGBTQ owned and have tons of events…read moreall throughout the week, like drag shows, watch parties, dance parties, etc. I think the vibe is more "party" on weekends and evenings, but the times I've gone earlier in the day have been more my speed. Nate and I recently stopped in to try some of their new food menu and seasonal drinks. The new drink menu is Japanese themed, so we were excited since we went to Japan earlier this year. I got the alpenglow and Nate got the spicy margarita. Both were delicious and beautiful. We also got some happy hour snacks - the dijon sesame salad and the savory cream cheese wontons. Their happy hour is a great deal and I'd love to come back soon for that again. The salad was fresh and a big portion to share. The raw diced onion wasn't my favorite addition to the salad, but I did love the overall flavors. The savory cream cheese wontons were absolutely delicious - definitely very savory and crispy. I'd get these every time! The vibe inside at happy hour was pretty quiet but it can get packed as it's not a huge space. I am so glad that General Wood Shop is here and I'm looking forward to my next visit.

    The General Woodshop, you will ALWAYS be famous…read more This bar is near and dear to my heart, when it first opened last year I made an effort to bring anyone with me that would come along. As a queer person, we have to protect our spaces by supporting them. The care that the staff lures into this place truly shows. The rotating menu, the affordable drink options, the ambiance and the way they truly take suggestions from their patrons. They have a new patio addition which has made the smaller spot feel larger aswell. Last fall, I came in on a whim by myself. Callie was my bartender (love), and they were deciding what to do with some Sloe Gin. Thus the "Femme Fatale" was born, there's something magical about watching a craft cocktail come together. Something even more magical about being able to NAME a cocktail at your favorite watering hole. GW is truly a beautiful addition to GR.
