Mangiami Italiano Menu

Sorry, We are updating this restaurant menu details.

    Gotta try the "Pasta Rags" off-the-menu special. Though I try very hard to entertain other menu options, I have a hard time not ordering them EVERY time. This Chef/Owner gets how to do high-end food in a blue-collar community and has trained his staff well. I'd put this place up against the best italian places in any major city.

    Dined here with some friends not too long ago and I can honestly say I won't be back. The waitstaff was impolite, the bartender was slow, and the food was very marginal for the price. The wine selection was lacking anything of substance, too. My pasta was undercooked and my friend's chicken was overcooked. Not only that, it took a long time for our food without much attention to our table's drinks. Would rather go to other local establishments.

    I am always impressed when the servers/kitchen respond well to an unexpectedly busy night. I walked in along with a few other couples to find only the server and bartender, but they stepped up and kept things flowing really well. My water glass was never empty, even though the single diner who isn't having alcohol is often easiest to overlook! And my food came out almost too hot to eat. To me, that's a sign of a good (and safe) kitchen. Really enjoyed the spinach salad, pork medallions, and I took a slice of cheesecake to go!

    Eat the Pasta Rags....ahh-mazing! Love the ambiance, nice, helpful staff, wine selection, full bar. My husband's steak was a little over cooked. The chef came out and apologized and gave us a free dessert with a discount on our meal. I appreciate when they care about that; and we didn't even make a big deal about it. We liked this place! Highly recommend! GREAT DATE NIGHT PLACE

    We went here for a special occasion. We were a bit skeptical of all the great reviews and thought perhaps they were posted by family of the owners. We found that the reviews were spot on. The food was great - not your usual boring Italian menu. I had the Pasta Rags dinner special which was delicious. The service was friendly & accommodating; the restaurant itself has a nice atmosphere. I highly recommend! P.S. I am in no way related to the proprietor :)

    Delicious Italian food in a town that you wouldn't expect to find it in. Great service and great atmosphere. Prices are what you would expect for the quality of the food and the portions match the price. Overall great place to go for a higher class night on the town.

    I went to Mangiami last Friday night for dinner, and it was such a great experience. The best Italian food I've had in the area probably ever. We arrived around 8:30 - 8:45 pm for dinner. There were several tables. I caught a glimpse of the table in the back room as we were seated. That looks really cool for a party, or a larger group. Our waiter took our drink order, told us the specials, and told us that the kitchen closes at 9:00 so we needed to get our order in fairly soon. He was very nice about it. It was no big deal. I'm just used to living in an area where restaurants are open a little later. I had a Caprese salad. The tomatoes, basil and mozzarella were so fresh. It was awesome. For my dinner I had a special. The braised short ribs pasta. It was excellent! Wow! It had an excellent cream sauce with larger almost lasagna noodles, and the braised short ribs were sooooo good. I can't wait to get back and have another awesome meal!

    Only giving for stars to give this great restaurant something to work for. Some of the best cuisine in the area. If the chef-owner reads these reviews I would love to see fresh pasta add to his great menu. The decor is comfortable and yet elegant for the area. Locals will call pricey but for the quality of the food if I were in Madison our Milwaukee he is super cheap.Thank You for opening in the Fort/Jefferson we need this since almost everyone else is heat and serve.

    I can't even believe how good this place is. We went for dinner on a weekend night. It was fairly busy. It's a small place with around 10 tables and a small bar. The service was very good and prompt. Food was amazing. They had a number of specials that weren't on the menu. It's not a cheap place- expect to spend probably $40-$50 or more for dinner for two, depending on what you get, but it is fantastic. Best restaurant meal I've ever had. I can't wait to go back.

    I can't say enough good things about Mangiami and Eric and his team. Every time we have visited we have had excellent food, service, and ambience. This place is truly a find! The pasta, fish, appetizers, desserts, wines, martinis, ports, espresso...you name it they know what they're doing! Having been to Italy 8 times I can certifiably say this place is worth the visit. I personally recommend the lasagna, pasta regs, pasta rustica w meatballs...but you should try everything. The salads (bacon vinaigrette yes please!) and desserts are to die for. Port? Yes. Espresso? Double yes! (Pun intended...) select liquors? Check! They also do tasting dinners in the chefs room as a specialty!

    We were in the area for a weekend getaway and went here for dinner. I had contacted the chef in advance about my food allergies and they were totally willing to accommodate me, which was awesome. The restaurant has a modern chic look to it that feels very warm without being overdone. The food was fantastic and we were very happy we came. We decided next time we're in the area, we're going to come back to Mangiami for another romantic dinner.

    Be glad our communities have this restaurant. We where immediately greeted and seated. I started with a nice glass of red wine and then ordered Calamari Fritti. It was a nice blend of small whole and larger pieces. The sauce was well spiced. For the main course I ordered Puttanesca. I really loved the green and black olive combination with the capers. It was served in a large shallow bowl with a great hot sauce drizzled about the rim. The sauce alone could be too hot for some, but was just right along with the Puttanesca. The serving size was just right, I was full but did not need a take home box. We finished our meal with a delicious dessert and cup of coffee. A personal visit from the chef was enjoyable. I wish we had a restaurant like this in Janesville. Return trips are being planned as I intend to go through the whole menu one dish at a time.

    My father, sister, and I had dinner at Mangiami Italiano on a Thursday night after Christmas. I grew up in Fort, but moved away to a big city in the south for work almost 10 years ago. Usually, when I come home, I want my hometown faves, but I'd heard really good things about this place, so I convinced my family to give it a try. SO glad we did! The wine list isn't huge, but it's definitely adequate - our red was even served at a good temperature! My father had the special, which was lasagna. Despite being really picky about his pasta, he loved it and finished the whole thing. My sister and I had pasta dishes off the menu, but we both changed our orders up a little (adding peas to one thing, changing the sauce on another). The kitchen and our server were super nice and accommodating, and everything came out exactly as we'd ordered it. I had the seafood pasta in spicy marinara, and it was exceptional. We ordered the tiramisu to split for dessert, and that was a hit as well. The only thing I didn't love was the caesar salad - mine was pretty underdressed, so I had to order more dressing on the side. My family enjoyed theirs, though. I've traveled extensively in the US and Europe (even did my honeymoon in Italy), dining at very upscale restaurants (I'm a corporate event planner) and this is some of the best Italian food I've had. What a great find in my own hometown! Run, don't walk to Mangiami!

    Great little spot with much potential right on main in fort atkinson, wi. I've been here once with my wife and we enjoyed our food. The service was just above average and we were surprised when the chef visited each table offering free apartifs. Would go again. Edit: full bar is in effect. This place is clearly the best place to eat in our little part of Wisconsin.

    I took my girlfriend for a date night a few weeks and we had a great experience. It is a nice upscale restaurant where you can hold a conversation with your party. They have a great wine selection at reasonable prices, and great weekend specials. Both my girlfriend and I had the pasta rags (which were the Saturday night special) and they are so amazing! They give you very large portions which you just can not stop eating, A great place with great food, it is a must when you are in the area.

    A wonderful place in any context, but exceptional food for this little, out-of-the-way Wisconsin town. My friend Larry pointed us at this place, and we are glad he did. Four of us arrived for a Friday night dinner. The floor was clearly short-handed; I saw one waitress and one hostess/busser for the entire floor (more than a dozen tables.) so the service was a little slow and a bit ragged; the food more than made up for it. The Garden soup was a wonderful blend of tomatoes, zucchini and spices. Wisconsin seasonal cuisine at it's best, and we all enjoyed it. Larry had the puttanesca, and found himself very satisfied with the blend of olives and capers, with a chile sauce finish. He'd ordered the trout puttanesca, and got that very rapidly when the mistake was pointed out. But I think he actually preferred the "naked" puttanesca. Joy raved about her Parmesan walleye, with good reason. The fish was moist and tender, with a savory Parmesan crust with a nice hint of red pepper. Patty had the chicken cacciatore, and pronounced herself very satisfied with the blend of savory mushrooms and marinara. I heartily recommend one of the four dinner specials, the "Pasta Rags." This melange of beef and Gorgonzola cheese with "rags" of torn sheet pasta had a deep, rich flavor, without (somehow) seeming heavy. The sheets of torn pasta were especially toothy, balanced off against the very tender beef tips -- the entire dish had body without being weighty. I had my doubts for such a robust dish on a hot August night, but it was excellent in every way. The wine list matches the menu -- not deep, but generally well-chosen. I did only see 3 or 4 hearty, solid red wines, and more variety there might serve. Mangiami doesn't follow the fashion right now for fluffy "Italian lite" -- the menu offers mostly authentic (read substantial) north Italian cuisine, but there only a few wines on the list that will stand up to the hot sauce on that puttanesca. Mangiami could hold it's own in any restaurant market. Tucked away in this little town, it's delightful. It is well worth the trip.

    I want to let Fort Atkinson we have a wonderful Italian Restaurant Mangiami. Chef Eric knows his Italian cuisine. Some of the best italian food I have had in years in this city. This is a Gem for the city of Fort Atkinson. Nice Job Mangiami!!!!!

Italian Cuisine

The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.

Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.

If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.
