“ This was our first time here but won’t be the last! From the appetizer to the main course, we had nothing but top of the line service from Wes.(yall ask for him if you eat here...you will be well cared for!!) and the food was amazing. We started with the truffle fries....crispy with the perfect blend of feta over them! The chicken mushroom Marsala was flavored perfectly with a delicate wine sauce. We were so stuffed that we couldn’t eat dessert but I did bring a piece of tiramisu home for later. Looking forward to our next visit! ”
“ Food was fresh and flavorful. Waiter was attentive and very kind. Inside was cozy and inviting. I was already full and couldn’t finish my meal but the lemon cake the table near us ordered looked amazing. Will have to try it next time. ”
“ Great food and atmosphere. Well trained waitstaff. Did not wait long between courses. Great atmosphere, very clean and great decor. We were there at dinner. Best date night restaurant in the Barnesville area. They close the kitchen at 8:30 pm so get there early. But they are open for between lunch and dinner right now. ”
“ First time eating here and the salad was very fresh. Pesto penne was sooo good! Chicken Parmesan was really good also. Spaghetti was just ok. Took a while for our server to come to our table though. We got our salads before we received our drinks. Our waitress Laney wasn’t very friendly or helpful. But another waiter was friendly and helped us. Would definitely recommend and return. Loved the fact that they have vegan options as well ”
“ Stopped at Mangia on Main on our tour of the south. This is a gem of a restaurant located in the smaller town of Barnesville, GA. From the menu we tried the Crab Arancini, a salad, spaghetti with meat sauce and the limoncello cake for dessert. All of the dressings are made in house. I had a Mediterranean dressing which was essentially a very good vinaigrette with feta incorporated in. While I normally wouldn’t order spaghetti when out, I really wanted to try the meat sauce which did not disappoint. I also do not normally eat dessert but was convinced to try a bite of the limoncello. I don’t believe I have ever had such a light and fluffy cake. Wow! Wes, our server, was very attentive, engaging and entertaining. The chef/owner made his rounds to each of the tables while we were there. The restaurant itself is very clean AND inviting. Definitely worth a stop. ”
“ My husband and I went to Mangia on Main tonight for the first time! The food was so tasty and very filling. Cam was a fantastic waiter with a bubbly personality! We had the Blackened Shimp and the Cheese Raviolis! I highly recommend this place! We will definitely be back!!! ”
“ First time dining here. The Truffle fries were amazing from the start. The salad was great, our waiter recommended mixing the house made ranch dressing with the Mediterranean dressing and he was right! Ate every bite and I'm not a big salad guy. I ordered the shrimp scampi and my wife had the chicken mushroom marsala. Both entrees were delicious. The service was awesome. Our server, Wes, was extremely attentive and friendly. We will be back. Great place for date night. ”
“ Chef’s kiss! Enjoyed our date night this evening! We were provided with the best service from WES!! He made sure we had everything we needed and he knew them menu well! My husband had the chicken parm with Alfredo sauce and he said it was best he’s had in a very long time since traveling in the military. I enjoyed the prime rib and it was cook to perfection! The new pita chips with the spinach artichoke dip as appetizer was amazing!! Atmosphere was warm and inviting! So glad to have this restaurant in our small little town, with the atmosphere like you are in Italy!! (Picture below is a wine that we tried, and it was wonderful!! ”
