The Friday night Italian feast was AMAZING! I am GF and my husband is not. We ate the same items for each course and the staff did a fantastic job of keeping the GF items separate. Eating Italian bread, Caesar salad with croutons, pasta with ragu, and zeppolis without having to worry about the fryer or cross contamination was a treat. The entire staff seems to love their job. Thank you!!

Splurge because the leftovers are just as good! Also-buy the bread to take home. They'll tell you how to freeze and such.

OH MY GOODNESS!!!! You must go here!! First, know that the owner’s wife and the manager are celiac. Everything here is taken very serious concerning safety. You can have ANYTHING on the menu except lasagna. It has been so long since I have eaten wonderful bread, calamari, meatballs, pizza and chicken parmigiana. It was all delightful. We also had cannolis and cinnamon and sugar donuts. All were amazing.

8/18/2023 Mangia has changed their business plan and they only do Friday and Saturday evenings with a set menu. It is still freaking amazing- all gluten free. It’s a really fun evening with dancing, good music and fabulous food. Reminds you to live every day and every moment. Thanks for an amazing meal!

What an awesome experience! The service, food, and beverages were outstanding. The meal was absolutely delicious. Chef Nick has gluten free figured out! I’ll be dreaming about the focaccia and tiramisu until I can return. If you’re thinking about going, DO IT!

This was such a great experience. Every item on the menu could and was made gluten free. I spoke to the chef/owner at the end of the night and he said his wife was diagnosed with celiac 11-12 years ago. He never wanted her or anyone at his restaurant to sit across from someone else and loathe them because they could enjoy all the food and they couldn’t. And he said no one was going to leave sick, bc they take take special care with all the gf food.. Plus all of the staff is very knowledgeable. Just be prepared to leave STUFFED. They weren’t lying when they called it a “feast”. 100% would recommend. Great visit for a special occasion.

One of the most wonderful eating experiences I’ve had as a celiac. We did the 10 course family meal and not only was the food amazing, but the staff was absolutely amazing! The owner and chef’s wife has celiac disease and the servers confirmed gluten free when they brought out my dishes. I did not got sick and I’m very sensitive. This is a must dining experience in Nashville!

Such a normal dining experience. Everything can be made gluten free. For the first time since being diagnosed I was able to eat beignets (I’m from Louisiana). I ordered the Italian fried donuts with powdered sugar and they were delicious. I also got the focaccia and it was amazing. My gluten eating family couldn’t even tell it was gluten-free. I wish they had this establishment where I live. Celiacs hit this spot up when you are in the area!! I also recommend making reservations!

Would give it 20 stars if I could. The food AND service were outstanding! Mangia is a celiac’s dream come true- everything but short rib lasagna can be gf. Our waitress had celiac so they get it! We had the meatball appetizer, fried grilled cheese, short rib bolognese and chicken parm. Everything was delicious and fresh. A definite MUST get is the led zeppole for dessert, it was so good. Took 2 cannolis home for the road.

Look, listen: if there’s one place you visit in Nashville —> Mangia is it. I ate here two dinners in a row. Between the 2 visits I had:

- fried calamari - foccacia (!) - mac & cheese (omg) - arancini - sundried tomato spinach pasta - chicken parm (breaded, not grilled!) - led zeppole for dessert (a must try)

All phenomenal in flavor - fireworks in mouth good (I’ve visited a lot of cities and always seek out gluten free Italian, Mangia is a top player).

Great experience. Seriously the best gf pizza crust I’ve ever had. The waitress was very nice and knowledgeable. They have a whole different kitchen area, utensils, and oven for gluten free. All the gf food is served on a green plate to make sure nothing gets mixed up. Definitely worth a visit. So so good. Gotta save room for the gf tiramisu next time!

The owners/operators have celiacs in the family and take all precautions to provide celiacs with a safe dining experience! If you go on Saturdays for the feast it’s $70 per person but it is a full experience with several courses. Let them know when you reserve that you are celiac.

Food was amazing and so many choices. Almost the entire menu can be made gluten free including desserts. I had the Italian Mac and cheese and chicken parm. The bread was so light and fluffy and best GF bread I’ve ever had. I am taking tiramisu to go but I’m sure it will be amazing as well. Definitely a must if in the Nashville area.

We ordered take out from here and were blown away. My non-GF husband was shocked the focaccia was gluten free. It’s the best bread I’ve had since going gluten free two years ago! The pizza crust was also great—the right amount of crispy and chewy and did not fall apart. I am definitely adding this to my list of must-visits the next time we are in Nashville!

This was the best meal we had during our trip in Nashville. Mangia exceeded my expectations. I’m always skeptical when eating at an Italian Restaurant but they take an extra step at this restaurant to ensure that their gluten free items are celiac safe. When I spoke with my server she eats gluten free as well and was happy to answer all of my questions. They have a separate area and fryer for all the gluten free items and take an extra step by putting all gluten free items on a green plate. My party and I started with the garlic focaccia stack, fried calamari, and meatballs. All three were excellent and my gluten-eating party agrees that everything was delicious. For entrees we split the chicken parmesan and a garlic crust margarita pizza. The chicken parmesan was cooked perfectly and was our favorite of the two. I enjoyed the pizza as well. We finished our meal with the zeppole, they’re donuts covered in either cinnamon or powdered sugar, we ordered them both ways. The powdered sugar ones were better but we thought the best was to mix both the cinnamon and powdered sugar together, it was delicious. Both the service and food were phenomenal, I recommend this to anyone coming to Nashville.

Wow! The BEST GF pizza I have had. The crusts was handmade by their chef. You can see them making it so it felt safe to me. The owner’s wife is celiac as was our server, Rachel- who was amazing! We had six kids with us and she was so sweet and attentive to them. All the GF food comes out on different colored plates. I am a super sensitive celiac and had no issues at all.

I ordered a custom pizza with the Carbon GF crust (they have the roasted garlic and carbon crusts available!!) and it was the best pizza of my life. It came on a green plate (which marks it GF) and the waiter also announced it as gluten free. She was attentive and let me know the dessert could be made GF as well. I felt comfortable eating it with all these things happening.

The crust was chewy, not crumbly; delicious, and NOT thin crust like every other pizza. It had a real rounded crust, and it was tasty. Clearly made in house. I would definitely eat here again, especially knowing I have lots of options and they don’t skimp on the crust.

Lovely, safe experience at this delicious Nashville spot. The manager has Celiac disease, so she was very aware of the proper precautions for safe dining. I also have a nut allergy as well as a gluten allergy, and both were handled beautifully. My husband and I practically ate them out of house and home! They serve the gluten free dishes in green plates, so as not to confuse an order with the regular gluten items. They have a SEPARATE PIZZA OVEN AND FRYER!!! They even go so far as to have a singular chef handling the gluten free pizzas, away from the area and chef that is preparing the gluten-filled food. Everything was delicious, I felt totally safe, and the manager and staff were so friendly and fun. Best of all, I enjoyed a fabulous night out, eating ALL THE THINGS with my husband and not getting sick. This places knows how to cater to the allergy community. I HIGHLY recommend the charcoal pizza and the Led Zeppole. Oh yeah, the focaccia is beyond delicious, my husband couldn't tell it was gluten free, it was so light but also chewy. Absolute perfection.

Eat at your own risk!

Ironically my 2 kids and I went to Nashville (3 hours from home) for my son’s yearly celiac checkup, and I had lined up which restaurants we would be eating at so there would be no question about safe food during our trip. I picked Mangia as our dinner spot for the night following his appt. because there were so many glowing reviews on this app. I prefer dedicated gf but that wasn’t going to be possible for the hours we were there and our location.

My mom ordered her food first, then I told the waitress the rest of us (me and my two kids) would need ours made gluten-free because my son has celiac. (If we’re out somewhere I usually do that so that he can eat off any plate. He is the only one with celiac.) He got a pizza and my daughter got the kids chicken and noodles.

When our food was ready, she brought the chicken and noodles to the table first and set it down in front of my kids. They were both starving so they grabbed some food and started eating. She then brought another plate to the table. After that, she came running back to the table and grabbed the first plate of noodles away from the table. Mind you it had only been about 60 seconds for all this to happen. I said Was that gluten-free? And she said no and walked away with it. I had to coax my son to spit the noodle out of his mouth (he’s 3) And then I immediately burst into tears.

I assume this was a manager that was bringing our food to the table; she came back out and said that she was so sorry and she asked if he had eaten any of it, and we said yes, a few bites. She said that she would take 50% off of our check. I was still bawling at this point, thinking about how he was probably going to spend the entire night throwing up like he usually does when this happens - Especially since we were staying in a hotel out of town, all in one room, without all the luxuries of home, like extra blankets, towels, and clothes.

Anyway, our waitress then came back later and said she’d like to “explain”, and said something about the print on the ticket being really small and how the ink was smudged... so I’m not sure how they did catch the mistake if that is true.

My son ate his pizza of course, but I kept thinking about how he was probably going to throw it all up later that night. Once I pulled myself together I really tried to eat my food, which I got the chicken parmesan. It was decent I guess, I only ate about half of it. Not really sure what to expect from gluten-free Italian food, so I guess it was about average.

All in all, my two big things were that they didn’t catch the mistake before it left the kitchen, probably because the server didn’t write the order down correctly or something. And second, that we still had to pay 50%. I guess they thought that was compensation enough, but to me it felt like a slap in the face that we still had to pay money for the food that harmed my son. I really wanted to say something about it, but my mom was the one paying and didn’t want to make any more of a scene than we already had.

I learned my lesson not to let my guard down even when a restaurant has great reviews from a lot of people.

Just make sure you double check when you order here before you start eating your food that it’s really gluten-free. I’m glad they caught it before he ate much, but the damage was still done.

This was the best Italian meal I've had out since 2007! Chef/owner understands celiac and the entire menu can be GF but 1 item. Was absolutely amazing. Service was over the top. You can tell they love blowing your mind with the menu. Great job! Will be here again soon

Owner and manager have celiac so bonus points right there. Owner will come out and talk to you as well. Our waiters name was Will and he was so great with awesome recs and a super fun personality! Sat on the super cute patio! All the menu except lasagna can be gf! We ate so much! Chicken parm, sundried tomato spinach green sauce pasta...REAL DELICIOUS BREAD!!! Go here if you have celiac. Go hungry. Eat a lot! They even have their desserts gf! And you can buy the bread as well! If you have celiac or even if you don’t, go here and go often! They have pizzas tjay look amazing too. If I was staying in Nashville longer, we’d def eat here again!

From appetizers to dessert, everything except the lasagna could be made gluten free!! The gluten free dishes come out on a green plate so there is no question. The staff is knowledgeable and they are very careful with their gluten free customers. The food was delicious!! I will be back!

My husband and I LOVE Mangias. It is our favorite restaurant. Everything on their menu can be made gluten free, which as a celiac is incredible. If that weren't enough, all the liquor they have is gluten free, so there is no worry about cocktails containing gluten. We brought my family here a while back and I made them all get gluten free food, and to their surprise they loved every bit of it.

We recently got married and had Mangia cater. It again was amazing and everyone loved it. They will be opening back up soon and we can't wait!!!

Fantastic menu! Cannot wait to go back and try more items! They have a completely separate kitchen area for preparing GF food which is served on green plates. Nearly all of their menu can be prepared gluten free. And best of all, it’s authentic Italian cuisine! The staff was extremely knowledgeable as some of them have celiac. They were also super friendly!

For an appetizer, we ordered the house made rosemary garlic focaccia toast tower. Hands down, the best gluten free bread I have ever eaten! Served with 2 sauces...a cheesy sauce and a spicy red sauce. My husband had regular chicken parm and enjoyed it. I had toasted pecan pesto cream sauce over pasta with a side of chicken. Delicious! For dessert we had zeppoles (Italian donuts). My husband had his with powdered sugar. I had mine with chocolate and caramel drizzled with a dollop of cannoli cream. Next time I’m getting the house made cannolis.

Gluten free food is brought out on green plates, as opposed to the white plates used for their regular items.

Everything I’ve tried has been delicious. They can make pretty much make everything GF, except the lasagna. They also have GF dessert options.
