The worst lunch I ever had. First I ordered a vegetarian Panino It was $8.00 for a sandwich only. When it arrived 25 minutes later it was cold in the middle and the cheese wasn't melted. Tasted like soggy vinegar canned vegetables. I returned it and asked for the pepper and egg sandwich (Friday during Lent). Also terrible couldn't finish it, the eggs were overcooked, came right out of a warming bin, they were grainy with no flavor. It's like a really bad school cafeteria lunch only you paid $8.00 and didn't get milk and cookies with it.
Oh yeah the staff, got to mention this. There were about 6 or more people behind the counter. The three girls that work the front wearing sweatpants and Pajama bottoms with dirty UGG boots. This was just gross and unprofessional for a restaurant.
I will tell all my workers in the area and friends never to eat here.
This place is AMAZING. Why amazing you ask? Well I just ordered delivery to cheer me up as I recover from surgery. No big deal right? Right...well unless you live on the 20th floor and you realize your elevators are out when the delivery arrives. ABSOLUTELY crazy. The moment they called to let me know my food was here they told the delivery guy the elevators were out. Once I was done yelling at the people downstairs for not letting me know I was just going to pay them and let them take the food back. I love this place so I felt horrible. All of a sudden the drivers (who I am so sorry I dont remember your name I was so frazzled and mad at my building) wife Andrea comes trekking up 20 flights of stairs to bring me food because I was recovering. Wow this was an amazing experience. The owner who I had called to sort things out said he appreciated my business and they didn't mind. I can't even believe it. I greeted Andrea at the door with some water and a good tip. I honestly didn't know awesome people like this still existed in life. I wish I could do more for her and her husband. They are awesome people and Mangia Fresca is such a caring restaurant. I pick food up here all the time. I will absolutely continue to do so much more frequently! You cannot beat this kind of service and people. I am still stunned this all happened.
Oh and my food is awesome too :) Just like ALWAYS!! You cannot beat the portions, flavors and freshness!! I could eat their breaded steak and caprese salad every day but then I would actually need to start doing the 20 flights of stairs!
Thank you all!!
