Mangia Qui is, by FAR, the BEST restaurant in Harrisburg. Suba is fantastic too. Don’t listen to the reviews below–I’ve eaten in fine restaurants all over the world and gourmet food is a personal hobby of mine–this place is great. She (the owner) uses all locally grown, fresh ingredients and her ever-changing menu is creative and delicious. She is a real student of the culinary world, which is VERY rare for ANY PA restaurant, let alone those in Harrisburg. It IS pricey but you get what you pay for at Mangia Qui!
Overpriced and overrated especially when there is a huge black hair on your plate and the server is oblvivious about the chopped and butchered oysters! I can;t see the hype about this place at all! I guess most of these reviewers lead a sheltered life and have not experienced real food done right in ohter cities…let alone here!
My wife and I were in town for the Fab Faux show in Harrisburg on Valentine’s Day (2/14/09). The next day we decided on Sunday Brunch at Mangia Qui and were quite pleased with our choice. The food is very reasonably priced and the ingredients and taste were off the charts. We opted for a daily special tapas plate for an appetizer. I had the Italian Breakfast and my wife had the asparagus and tomato dish. For desert, we chose the lemon almond torte. All courses were perfectly prepared and the freshness of the ingredients was very notable. Overall, we greatly enjoyed our experience and have since made the 1 hour trip north from our home to have that delicious Sunday brunch again. Our distance from this restaurant is the only thing preventing us from visiting more often.
We have been eating here about once per month for several years now, and in our opinion, Mangia Qui quite simply serves the best food in Central PA - excellent high-quality fresh ingredients, superbly prepared, across a constantly changing menu that provides a variety of amazing dishes - particulary the primi piatti pastas . . . not to mention an excellent wine list! Great food, great service, great place.
