Mangia Trattoria - Kenosha, WI

Mangia is an Italian resturant, but more northern Italian type food. We have been going to this restaurant for many years, but only for dinner. It is one of the nicer restaurants in the Kenosha area and it is not overly expensive. We had a business associate come in from Finland and we wanted to have a good lunch so we decided to give Mangia a try.

We had the PANINO DI POLLO ~ $13.95 Diced chicken breast with mozzarella, sun dried tomatoes, caramelized onions and basil on grilled Tuscan bread and the PANINO DI BISTECCA ~ $14.95 Grilled ribeye with herb mayo, spinach and caramelized onions on grilled Tuscan bread. Both were excellent, though the ribeye meat was cut too large and you could not bite through it and keep it on the bread. The flavor was great, but it was very messy. I doubt we will have this again.

Next time I go I am getting the ORECCHIETTE CON SALSICCIA ~ $15.95 Ear shaped pasta with Pinn-Oak ground lamb sausage, broccoli rabe, garlic, goat cheese and chili flakes. I hope it taste as good as it sounds.
