Mangia Mondays meal deal for two is a great way to sample a bunch of their dishes. Even better was the service. Our server Phil (5th grade teacher by day) was excellent. He knew exactly what to do to make our first experience memorable.

Amazing food—truly fine dining with intense flavor and careful prep. Noise level takes away from overall experience sadly. Best bets: Macomber soup, Bistro steak.
