About Mangialardo's

Mangialardo's serves Italian food on S Thomas Ave in Sayre, with a menu of 29 dishes spanning individual antipasto, minestrone soup, and fried calamari rings. Popcorn shrimp and fried greens round out the starters, alongside lasagna and spaghetti and meatballs on the main list. Meals arrive with a bread basket, and garlic cheese bread is offered as an appetizer. A bar area sits apart from the main dining room, and guests are checked in there before being seated at busier times. The bill can be settled by credit card, but tips are cash only. The restaurant opens Monday through Saturday for evening service and stays closed on Sundays.

Customer Review Summary

The garlic pizza bread draws the most attention, praised repeatedly as a highlight of the meal, though one diner found it tasting like melted American cheese on cheap garlic bread. Close behind, reviewers name the lasagna, spaghetti and meatballs, and veal as standouts from the old family recipes, while others describe a chicken parm that came out overcooked and a dish that arrived unrecognizable from a previous visit. Several accounts describe long, unacknowledged waits before being seated or served, and being understaffed on busy nights, with one reviewer calling the staff rude and obnoxious and another saying they stood at the door until someone at the bar checked them in. A recurring complaint across multiple reviews is that tips can only be left in cash, not on a card. Positive reviewers instead recall sitting in the bar area while the bartender shared stories from the restaurant's decades-long history in the same family.

    “We’ve been there several times and it’s usually okay. Tonight the service was super slow, they seem understaffed. The food was disappointing. The bread basket looked like odds and ends they threw in a bowl and it was stale. There were 5 of us and 4 slices of bread (no worries, no one was going to eat it anyway). Then our food came out. It lacked seasoning, and just not good. I ordered something I’ve had there before and this was a totally different dish. Overall I’d give dinner a 2 out of 10.”
  • Brandon Castello
    “Went to dinner with Friends from Oregon. We spent over $200 dollars for three of us the food was so bad. I am so embarrassed, I took them there. If you like Italian food, you’d have better luck eating a can of raviolis.”
  • Dan Cofone
    “Ignored by staff initially, waited to be seated, 10 minutes to get drinks, 25 minutes for sub- par dog TV dinner quality food rude and obnoxious staff, cash tips only. Look at other reviews, the only positive reviews came from generational …”

    “Why anyone would come here twice is bewildering. Was here for dinner. First time. Seated right away and then we weren't spoken to for another 20 mins. Walked by a couple times, but not acknowledged. When we eventually did get to order anything, the waitress was rude/gruff, made no suggestions, and took all personality out of the experience. When paying, we were notified that if you pay by card, you cannot leave a tip on the card. This is a good way to ensure you dont get a tip. Aside from the lousy service, chicken parm was over cooked. Overall, food would be better prepared at home. And the garlic cheese bread everyone raves about tastes like American cheese melted on cheap garlic bread. We will not return. I suggest Lib's in Elmira. Worth the drive over this place.”

    “Upon entering we stood in the front door area until we finally went to the bar to find somebody to check us in. They seated us rather quickly. We waited approximately 80 minutes to get our food from the time we sat down. The food came out …”
