Simplicity is not Kanjoosi!
I completely beg to defer with slurp's review of Mangii Ferra.
I have been to Mangii Ferra a zillion times and wouldn't need an excuse to go there again. Yes, the interiors are minimalistic but the soft lighting highlight the rough surfaced walls, wooden beams on the ceiling and dark furniture. Any one who's been to Italy or anywhere in Europe must know that Italian food is not about bright, flashy restaurants, its about a homely simplistic ambiance.
Mangii Ferra also has a great menu. Their assorted cheese platter, herbed bread, pollo arrostito, pizzas, dark chocolate mousse and tiramisu are highly recommended. If you sit on the table on the far left, you'll be able to see your pizzas getting prepared in the wood fire clay oven. Their wine list, though small has some decent wines; the manager has never failed us with his great recommendations.
The service has never disappointed me - the staff is good about recognizing their repeat clients and they do have 'serviettes' ('cloth napkins').
On the other hand, I don't think there is anything great about the Trattoria ambiance. Besides, they serve cold red wine and have pathetic service.
Then again, I am perhaps only a 'wannabe suburbite' - so what if I understand Italian food more than most snooty Sobos. Well, figure out for yourself from the reviews of both places. :)
