When Mangia Mangia opened, back in 2006, passersby were transfixed by the kaleidoscopic light show projected onto the sidewalk.
The images are now gone, as is the restaurant.
I can still recall owner Angelo Galeotafiore's pasta and meatballs, described in my review as "light-textured and deep-flavored, the sauce bright and tasting as though someone's nonna from Palermo had stirred the pot."
I'll miss this dish.
