Mangia Qui - Harrisburg (PA)

1 /5 Sarah: The service was ok and the atmosphere is fine but my meal was shitty and insultingly overpriced. I got THREE sad pieces of tiny, wet, sagging gnocchi utterly drowning in a soupy, soggy, flavorless salad. Wish I had read the other reviews saying how awful the gnocchi was!! My partner had the lamb and it was also under seasoned, poorly cooked, and over priced. Im from NY and Im used to crazy prices, but was not expecting this place to be so outrageously expensive. They tack on a 3% charge just to pay with a credit card (pretty standard way to pay!) and a mandatory 20% gratuity service charge to your bill so the staff can have a living wage. And they act like thats normal? No one else does that! Ummm... How about YOU pay them more?? Would not recommend. It ended up being an unpleasant experience overall because it felt like we got robbed at gunpoint. I wanted a nice nite out and a got a soupy, wet, flavorless dinner and a huge, unreasonable bill. For a fraction of the price, you can get a better tasting meal at The Mad Moose! Just avoid at all costs!

4 /5 Eric P: We happened upon this place is it was near the AirBnB we stayed at. Everything was really tasty and the service was spot on. I love the fact that Harrisburg is letting them close off part of the street to serve more people. We sat outside with our puppy, everybody was spooning over her. We had shishitos, foie gras (a special), Caprese, Miche toast (special) Agnello ( braised lamb tagine), spaghetti and meatballs for the kid (she didnt eat them she at mommys steak) and the tuscan, for dessert the coconut flan. I give them 4 stars for two main reasons- the price (which seems a bit high. 28 for a little foie, 60 for a steak- not dry aged just aged (?) and 10 for the flan which was small and wasnt accompanied by anything (keep in mind its sugar, cream, coconut and vanilla- not very expensive ingredients). And the second reason- we asked for salt, the server give us the feeling that we insulted the house and the chef, like how dare we ask everything is seasoned perfectly. Look everybody has a different level of salt dont give the guest a pompous attitude cause they need a little more.

3 /5 Stephanie Falcone: I made our reservation a month before and asked to be seated inside. They seated us outside and it was the worst experience! All of us (party of 4) have over 5 mosquito/bug bites. (They did give us bug spray but it did not repel anything!) I did ask our waitress if they were able to move us inside and was told no. Dinner: The truffle pasta is a MUST if you love truffle! (You can order in half or full plate) The Calamarata dish was superb! We did put in a request for a special dessert and they were able to accommodate as best they can. The 20% gratuity is added to your bill even if the service is slow/bad.

5 /5 Jeunetta Lewis: Service started out a little slow, but the food was incredible. Just an overall amazing dining experience. Im still thinking about the linguine and clams. And, the steak was wonderful. The roasted beet salad was great, so were the cocktails. Five stars.

5 /5 Jennifer Johnson: Love this place so much. I pass through here for work a few times a year and make a point to go here. While it is on the pricier side, it is well worth it for the experience. Highly recommend all the cocktails. Great atmosphere as well.
