I have been searching for a Carbonara as good a The Fish Market in Los Gatos many years ago. This one was pretty good. My... husband had the Spaghetti and meatballs, He said it was good but not as good as mine. Sweet answer. :) Read more
First time here at this Family owned Italian Restaurant. Met one of the owners (Yvonne) in the parking lot who had Raul... (husband) stay open so we could try a pasta dish. Marco, our server took very good care of us with great suggestions and verykind service. Very nicely decorated restaurant and clean. The pesto is made in house and is delicious. I jumped on my meal causeit looked so good before taking this picture. My plate was full and hot. Read more
We decided to celebrate our daughter's return home from college and chose the Mangia Italian Kitchen. We were in the mood for... some good Italian food. I made reservations there through Google, but when we arrived, we weren't asked about our reservation.That was ok though. The restaurant was packed and after about a ten-minute wait, we were seated. My wife and I had a glass ofhouse Cabernet and we all munched on fresh sourdough bread while we read the menu. Oil and balsamic vinegar accompanied thesourdough bread and made for excellent dipping. For appetizers, we ordered the Garlic Cheese Bread and also the Meatballs andMarinara. There were three large-sized meatballs drenched in Marinara and covered with freshly grated mozzarella. Both theGarlic Cheese Bread and Meatballs and Marinara were fantastic! For our entrées, I ordered the Baked Ragu, which consisted ofpenne pasta, meat sauce, Italian sausage and mozzarella, all baked together. My wife had the Fettucine Alfredo which was tossedwith broccoli and roasted bell peppers and she added Italian sausage. Our daughter chose the Beef Ravioli from the specials thatnight. Needless to say, we were all stuffed. The food was hot and fresh and just excellent. The restaurant is tucked away in astrip mall, near Ace Hardware, and isn't very noticeable from the road. However, we had heard great things about Mangia ItalianKitchen and we are so glad we went. And inside, the restaurant is small but cozy. Would highly recommend if you're in the moodfor good Italian fare. All of the staff were friendly and attentive. Read more
Dropped in about 6pm on Saturday as we were passing thru Holister on the way home from Pinnacles. A few people there but empty... tables too. This restaurant has a varied menu and reasonable prices. Lighting and atmosphere works well. The waiter was politeand attentive, with quick and efficient service. Serving size is large and foolishly I ate it all because it tasted great! Read more
