Mangia 48th Madison - Italian Food & Corporate Catering NYC — Restaurant in New York

I had the opportunity to dine at Mangia, NYC at the location on Madison Ave. Mangia, NYC offers a lovely menu of foods that are literally from farm to table. The menu offers pizzas, salads, sandwiches and main course entrees. All desserts are baked on premise. The downstairs offers a variety of food to take out. You have a lovely salad bar, fresh made sandwiches, pizza and so much more. The sit down dining, is the upstairs loft.  The loft is upscale and the tables are for 2, 4 or six. It has a bar with wine and beer. It is a very cozy yet modern look.

The chicken Cobb salad was so fresh and loaded with fresh farm ingredients kale, chicken, bacon, cherry tomatoes and so much more was fantastic served with the house dressing. From the grill, I had the Grilled Branzino. It was served with two sides. I had the whipped cauliflower and mashed sweet potatoes. The Filet Mignon was so tender. It was served with mushrooms, roasted veggies and roasted fingerling potatoes. The dessert menu was just amazing. The pear tart was fabulous. The crust was flaky and the cream was superb. the NY cheesecake was fluffy and rich. The macarons were just fabulous. The vanilla  and raspberry were so flavorful. These were the best macarons that I ever had. All of the baking is done on premise.

Upon entering the restaurant, I was greeted by a lovely hostess and taken to a table, in the upstairs loft. My server was so delightful. Her knowledge of the menu and her personality made my dining experience very enjoyable. All of the people working in Mangia, NYC really enjoy what they were doing and were so kind to the patrons. The service that I had was just wonderful. I can't wait to go back to Mangia,NY. It is in a great location between the theater district and...

I’ve been here a couple times for their sit down menu area upstairs (same general menu for their pastas and sandwiches, but with table service), but after the last experience would probably never return. It was for a Friday lunch and we were seated in the far corner. The servers were extremely slow and disorganized, and all around made for a lunch that took over an hour from seating to getting our order and check.

As one example, the person with me asked the server who brought our food for Parmesan for her pasta. He said yes, then clearly immediately forgot about it. She had to ask the other server over 10 minutes later. It also took over 10 minutes for our order to be taken, and for them to check in at the end for our check. So only about 20 minutes of the hour we spent inside was for eating, the rest was for waiting.

I understand that it was a relatively busy day, but there were only about 6 table-service tables at the time which one would think 2 servers could adequately cover (note most of the tables were for folks who brought their food up from downstairs, which I recommend you do in future as no way was the service we received worthy of any tip). They also ended up squishing us with another party of two at the table about midway through, so honestly the service quality and experience is no better than again just carrying your food up to begin with.

It also gets really loud and hectic inside thanks to the echoey design and small confines of the space. If you’re looking for a midtown sit down lunch, go elsewhere and stay with to-go at...

I have loved this place and been a big supporter of this place over the years but today that is over. I had called yesterday and placed an order for pick up as we work across the street. I even received my invoice and confirmed the right meals. I arrive at 1115am today to pick it up and they had sent it to my old place of business. Imagine my surprise given I work across the street, why would I ever even pick delivery. A kind employee was super apologetic about the mix up and offered to have it called back or they could make me a new one. I asked for the new one as we have an investors meeting at 12pm. Now 15 minutes later she asked if I could speak to HQ which I of course agreed. The person let's me know that the mistake was mine and that I could either walk to my old place of business (awkward) or reorder and pay. I just wasted all this time waiting for something that wasn't going to happen. Never order over the phone because you won't have a paper trail. I have worked in many restaurants growing up and companies will bite the bullet to keep the regulars happy knowing they will come back. Not here... I walked in the 78 degree heat to grab my catering order and brought it back to the office. Disappointed to say the least about the behavior of HQ given I had ordered from them last month for pick up and they had my new companies name. Happy to send it over to them as they seemed to not believe me. This 250$ order just cost them 1000s$ in...
