One of my favorite little known restaurant is Cafe Mangia on Bypass 28 between Manchester and Hooksett. Cafe Mangia is right next to Eaton's Candy and Cake Decorating, and offers traditional recipes that are claimed to have been passed down through generations. They certainly taste authentic! Cafe Mangia does accept reservations, but are limited in days open, so I would recommend to call ahead for hours. This establishment offers Bring Your Own Beverage (BYOB) with a set-up fee, so you can bring your favorite bottle of wine to enjoy with your meal. The food is Italian and fresh and made on the spot. Plan on eating at a leisurely pace, as it is a small operation and they take their time crafting your meal.
