Review: Mangia, 1562 New Scotland Road, Slingerlands, NY 12159-I recently dined at Mangia with a friend at the Slingerlands location since the Stuyvesant Plaza location has closed. I'd been there years before and enjoyed their pizza al forno. This time I opted for the Pollo Con Tortellini which is chicken tenderloins, sautéed with sun-dried tomatoes & mushrooms in a tomato cream sauce tossed with cheese-filled spinach tortellini. It was a treat to my palate with the cream sauce being not too runny and not too thick, the chicken deliciously tender and all the flavors marrying well together.

I don't dine there too often because they're a little pricey for my budget; however, their portions are HUGE and they offer a half-dinner menu price for a smaller portion which was still too much for me to finish. The leftovers reheat beautifully, even a couple of days later. If you're trying to have a romantic evening (which I wasn't, but the lighting and decor is conducive to such, for your information) on a budget, you can split an appetizer and a half-entree. Don't skimp on the wine. :)

You can check out their menu and full prices here for both their Plattsburgh and Slingerlands locations:
