We used Mangia for our wedding catering and the food and servers were amazing. They served 215 people in under an hour. We did have a mistake with our order, however, they did make it right after the fact. The food is delicious and we got so many compliments on how delicious it was! Overall, definitely recommended.

Mangia is the in-house caterer for Villa Aletta. We had a tasting prior to the wedding to decide on our menu and it was a difficult decision because everything was delicious! We were so happy with the food and several guests commented on how amazing it was.

Mangia was absolutely the best choice for catering for my daughters wedding 7/8/2023. From communication, outstanding service, delivery, set up, and price. They worked with me up to a few days before adding and changing the order. We had people gushing about how amazing it all tasted! We made sure we ordered extra and we had extra!!! The Servings are large. This was one of the best choices we made for an amazing, stress free affordable wedding dinner that was absolutely delicious and enjoyed by all.

Mangia was everything we could’ve imagined. From the first time discussing menu options to the communication throughout the process was amazing. We had a 2 meat option with salad and rolls. The value for the top notch food was well worth it. I had to call 3 days prior to add one more GF entree last minute and they didn’t bat an eye. Told me no problem. The staff took care of everything the day off. We had zero stress and that was well worth it. They are the professionals and it showed!

We had Mangia cater our wedding on 8/28/21 and it was an incredible experience from start to finish! The entire crew did an excellent job serving, bussing tables, and interacting with guests. All anyone did all night was RAVE about how great the food was. Gina was a pleasure to work with, and my husband and I can't say enough nice things about this experience. Thank you again!

The Mangia Italiana team were incredible! This was the best price we could find and the food was delicious. We had multiple guests come up to us and compliment the amazing meal they had. I (the bride) also had very strict dietary restrictions that Mangia Italiana handled with ease. I'm so grateful we chose them for our big day!

I wanted to give a shout out to our Wedding caterer and their staff. My daughter got married on 9/7/19 and we had around 350 people. We received so many compliments on our food. If you haven't tried it you must. The price per plate was unbelievable, the service and support, before and during, was over the top and of course the taste is to die for. The entire process when we first met with Gina, Caterer coordinator, to the day of couldn't have been any more enjoyable. I highly recommend using Mangia Italiana for any of your catered needs. They made our special day a wonderful success. Thanks Gina, your staff and Mangia Italiana!!

Mangia Italiana had quickly became our all time favorite italian food. We catered them for our wedding and did penne with sugo sauce and meatballs, and cheese tortellini with Alfredo sauce. Gina was a joy to work with and we the most personal joyous experience. They are very thorough and make sure you have everything you need. We had rave reviews on the food and lots of people liked that the restaurant served our guest although it was still buffet style. Was quick, efficient and seemed more fancy that way. We had so many guests contact us after the wedding and ask about the food and where it was done because it was so delicious. We had most guest come for seconds and thirds and took both pastas and we still ended up with a small tray of pasta to take home with us. Perfect amount of food for a perfect event. At the end of dinner they packaged up everything for us to take home and also bused all of our tables. So impressed 12 out of 10!!!

I will be recommending Mangia to every engaged couple I come across! Gina is amazing to work with and put up with me constantly texting her asking various questions, and always had quick and helpful answers for me. I didn't have to worry about a thing the day of; they showed up, served everyone smoothly, and then cleaned up quickly to make room for the dance floor. Five stars aren't enough!

We worked with Gina from Mangia Italiana to cater for our wedding at Villa Aletta! You cannot beat the pricing and taste! Gina was extremely kind and easy to work with, and the food was DELICIOUS! We had Penne with meatballs and sugo sauce and cheese tortellini with Alfredo, with salad and dinner rolls. We received so many compliments about the food! We also had late night pizza catered in by Mangia and it was the BEST PIZZA I've had! Ginas team did a great job with the food, set up, serving the buffet, and clean up. I 10/10 would recommend Mangia Italiana for catering!

We had the lasagna and cheese tortellini with a dinner roll and salad for our wedding, and it was amazing!! Everyone loved the food and we had plenty for leftovers. Gina is absolutely amazing to work with and makes everything so easy. She’s quick to respond and so helpful. I would highly HIGHLY recommend Mangia to any couple looking for a caterer. They are unlike most caterers and have amazing food while still being very affordable. You don’t need to break the budget for amazing food. If you haven’t tried Mangia yet, definitely set up a tasting with Gina. Thanks again for all of your help Gina and thanks for the amazing staff!

We had the lasagna and chicken tortellini with salad and bread for our wedding reception dinner and it was absolute perfection. Everyone raved about the flavor of the food, the time it took to get through our buffet line and the friendliness of the Mangia staff. Gina was a pleasure to work with, she was very accommodating and helped us figure out a way to expedite our rather high guest count through the serving line quickly. We frequent Mangia very often and have never been disappointed. Highly recommend them!

From the moment we met with Gina from Mangia Italiana we knew we were in good hands! My husband and I were having a large wedding reception so we wanted a caterer that could handle a large crowd, but still had amazing food and Mangia delivered on all fronts. They were extremely easy to work with, the prices were reasonable, and the food was absolutely delicious! We had so many compliments from our guests telling us how good the meal was! Throughout the entire planning process Gina made sure our experience with Mangia was smooth sailing from start to finish, and as a bride having to not worry about something as significant as the food for the reception was a huge relief!! Thank you, Mangia! I would highly recommend Mangia to anyone needing a caterer for their event!

We had two different pastas, bread, and salad from Mangia. Gena was affordable, honest, and flexible! Her prices are so reasonable and the food is delicious! She arrived early and had everything ready to go. We were able to get the reception started a little sooner than planned. We provided plates, silverware, and napkins for our guests but their staff served everyone and stayed around to clear plates from guests tables. She also packaged up the leftovers for our family to take home and share with out of town guests while we honeymooned the next week.

I absolutely loved Mangia's!! It was so good and the service was not only professional but very personal as well. They truly appreciate their brides and want everything to be perfect for the big day. It is small, very affordable, and so delicious!! I would recommend them to anyone and am so sad I have now moved out of state. It is truly a gem and a place I would recommend to anyone. All the guests at my wedding kept saying how wonderful the food was and how is was some of the best they have ever had. They did great, not only serving but they cleaned up trash and the food as well. However, we did get to keep all the leftovers so that was great for the day after to eat with family. We had enough food for 200 people, with the nicest plastic dishes, and 4 servers, that's where the total comes from.

We had a buffet at our wedding reception with Mangia Italiana food. The food was absolutely amazing and an incredible value (~$6 per person!). We had multiple guests emphatically tell us that this was the best dinner they had ever had at a wedding. Take advantage of this caterer and their incredibly reasonable prices. You won't regret it!

We just used Mangia for wedding caterer and it went absolutely great! Tony and Dana were so easy to work with (I called them multiple times and they were always Willing to help). They bring everything to the reception and can serve it. you haven't tried their food yet you are missing out - it is delicious! They were by far one of the least expensive caterers we met with - another huge plus. Our guest absolutely raved about the food which lately I think is hard to come by. We also used them for our alcohol - again very reasonable! Can't say enough good stuff about them!
