Mangii has always been a family favorite of ours. The beautiful tucked away location, the protruding, yet welcoming tree sprouting from the ground before the entrance, and the friendly Maitre D' always makes for an enjoyable evening.
We were pleasantly surprised yet again this time when the Maitre D' poured us a complimentary glass of a new house red, the vineyard supposedly financed and partly owned by the owner of the restaurant (turned out the wine was actually quite satisfactory as a table red - musty, earthy, not a long finish, aromas of dirt, earth, mushrooms, fungus, etc.).
We had our staples - fetunta (a bit on the dry side this time, but taken care of by dipping in olive oil), caprese (absolutely delicious), a risotto prima vera dish (a bit bland, but meant to be that way I suppose), and linguini siciliana (spicy tomato sauce, sundried tomatoes, fresh vegetables).
We'll continue to be regulars here as long as the service and food stay consistent. Kudos again to Mangii Ferra.
