Second time visiting and the service is amazing! The Aperol spritz was excellent both times I visited. Pizza dough was good and the cheese was fresh. The olive oil is high quality and delicious. Also recommend the beef tartar in bone marrow.

The food is simply amazing. There is a wine list that puts wines of the world at your fingertips (for a price of course, $40 - $400). We even tried the Thanksgiving buffet this year, and we're thrilled at the choices. And at only $59 per person, why cook? Will be going back for sure. Reservations with open table made it really easy.

First time experience here as my significant other and I were arriving into college station after a long drive. Upon arrival on a Tuesday evening we were seated immediately..The aesthetic is very mature. The lighting is dim the lighting fixtures are beautiful.They have a full bar area. However , they can also make mocktails. Our waiter was very informative of the menu and the options . I will say the best part of the food was the rosemary salted focaccia bread with olive oil and a shrimp risotto dish (10/10). The beef braised short rib with a wine reduction and Parmesan polenta did not work for me . The red wine sauce had no depth and was way too salty. The beef itself had no flavor and the Parmesan polenta was not working in the dishes favor(0/10) the individual flavors did not come together at all for this dish. I was highly disappointed. The calamari was tender but waaaayy too oily and the tomato sauce had no flavor the tartar sauce was not my favorite(2/10). On the dessert we had a hazelnut cake … but the hazelnut concoction at the bottom was like the texture of clay and was not appeasing to either one of our taste buds . We ended up only eating the top part which was a sponge cake w/vanilla mouse with raspberry and caramel drizzle around the plate(3/10). Overall im sure there are other great options but we would mot be back to try other dishes from this establishment.

Overpriced Not very attentive servers for the price we are paying Great Savory Food, I really did not get the pictures of the three meals. However I will say they were well plated. I asked for coffee, then ordered dessert…desert was served and did not receive my coffee until almost finishing my desert, what a disappointment. For it being my first time here I was a bit disappointed. Truly feel this facility could have done better for what we had to pay.

This place is absolutely fantastic! The food was nothing short of extraordinary—don't miss the calamari and wagyu meatballs, they’re a must-try! And the in-house made pastas? Simply divine! The staff was attentive and professional, making our dining experience even more enjoyable. We relished every dish they suggested. It truly felt like our taste buds were transported straight to Italy, and the ambiance exuded the charm of an upscale Roman restaurant. Perfect for family dinners or intimate date nights!

My parents were visiting me at a&m and I did not expect this place to be so good. I was genuinely not expecting much but to my surprise food was in fact better than half the fine dining restaurants in Houston, which I say this because my family likes to visit fine dining often in Houston. Ribeye steak was the best I had the past few months, so as the calamari, meatball and the pasta. Pizza was eh- could be better but everything else was so good this did not mind me a bit. Service was the definition of what nice restaurants should all be like, our server was amazing. My parents told me to add that she was the best server they had seen the past year. Anyways, will be visiting again sometime soon.

We went here for an early Valentine’s Day dinner, and we absolutely loved it! We ordered the A5 Wagyu that was phenomenal. The steak and lobster Mac n cheese were perfectly cooked. We also ordered fried calamari, tiramisu, and fondant cake. All so good. We will be going back! You are more likely to get sat with a reservation, so keep that in mind.

Went for a long, awaited date night. Casa Mangiare did not disappoint! Walking in, you can see how elegant the restaurant is. The servers were lovely, but I think there was a little confusion as to who our server was supposed to be. We were greeted by 3 different people. I ordered a Blueberry Pina Colada Mocktail. We shared the Calamari. I had the Braised Beef Short Ribs and was blown away. So tender and rich. My date had the Wagyu Alla Bolognese, and it was equally favorable and rich. I will definitely recommend Casa Mangiare to guests of my hotel in the future.
