Reviews for Mangalitsa in Woodstock, VT
This place is amazing and is well worth the trip if you?re in Woodstock. We were in town for a wedding and looked up several... restaurants to determine our Friday night dinner plans. This place met every expectation and there?s a reason why it?s rated sohighly. The service is excellent, and it?s only exceeded by the food. The small amount of tables adds to the ambiance and makesyou feel like you?re close personal friends with the owner. My wife wants the roasted cauliflower injected into her veins. Read more
This is a very small restaurant located in the major street, Central Street, of Woodstock. It?s cozy and somehow laid-back?-a... typical Woodstock style. Delicious foods, friendly and warm service. Definitely worth to try. It has only 8 tables, so you?dbetter make reservation. I really like its small plate of seared scallops! Read more
I am a big fan of Mangalitsa pork, when looking for a breeder who can sell me meat I found Matt who told me he also owned a... restaurant with the same name. Mangalitsa is the best farm to table restaurant in this area and likely in VT. In addition thestaff is super nice and everything feels more like a family meal, e.g. the chefs bringing the food to the table or the ownertaking orders and serving drinks. The restaurant is also very small, so that every dish is prepared to order and it feelsprivate and homey. The food is great and the chef has a talent to create surprising but delicious flavor combinations. Our mealwas overall on the heavy side, since we ordered meat, meat and meat but you can also make it light depending on the dishes youorder and how much food you order. Also note that they are working on a new place for the restaurant that is located on the farmwhere the porks are bred. The menu changes frequently so we will back soon. Read more
Best dining experience we?ve had since moving to the Upper Valley! I only wish we had discovered this hidden gem sooner. We... wandered into Mangalitsa spontaneously on a Wednesday night?after losing power at our house and seeking respite from theheat?and were pleasantly surprised by the bustling yet cozy atmosphere. This is a unique and special space with carefulattention to detail, a passion for food and drink, and impressive hospitality. We will absolutely be back! Read more
The chef does a wonderful job with extremely tasty and innovative menus which regularly change. My wife had a superb curry... pumpkin soup while I had seared jalapeño crusted albacore tuna to start. Mushroom risotto and a perfectly cooked grilledswordfish. I had a bottle of Eden Cider to start - need to find stockists of that ! With pre dinner drinks, a glass of wine,starters, mains and one dessert it came to $140 for 2. We reserved by email a week prior as we heard it is very popular. Our B&Bowners were surprised we got a table. Read more
As if there wasn't reason enough to visit charming Woodstock, Vermont! But if for no other reason, dine at Mangalista. My... husband and I are devoted foodies and we both agree this is hands done the best dining experience we've ever had. The attentionto detail, perfectly executed meals and expert service are beyond compare. Nick (chef), Matt (manager/owner) and Lynn(hostess/server) are all friendly, down to earth and also exceptionally knowledgeable and it is apparent that the Magalista isa true labor of love. From the eclectic servingware and decor to the locally sourced and inventive meals and cocktails.... justperfection! I was so pleased I gave Nick a hug on my way out ????. Thank you again everyone at Managlista! Read more
Mangalitsa is a fantastic little restaurant right in downtown Woodstock, just a short walk from the Woodstock Inn. The... atmosphere is cozy, the service is attentive and the food and cocktails are equal parts inventive and delicious. Each member ofthe small team is passionate about the ingredients and dishes on the menu and the chef himself often brings plates to thetable. I have eaten there twice now, the first time I had a wonderful heirloom tomato and burrata salad, a crudo with a fishthe chef had specifically brought in that week, and seared scallops with charred vegetables. The second time I had a refreshingsalad of cucamelons and tomatoes and then split a new preparation of seared scallops with corn and crispy potatoes and theseared duck breast. At each visit I took recommendations on which cocktails to order and was not disappointed. Everything Ihave had at Mangalitsa was beautifully balanced with interesting flavors and was downright delicious. The menu changesconstantly in response to the season and which special ingredients the chef has on hand. If you want a special meal the nexttime you are in Woodstock this is absolutely the place to go. Read more
