Mangiami

We found a little bit of west Soho on the western edge of the LES today. Small and deserted, Mangiami's didn't much remind me of Pepe Rosso until the pasta came out. We both had the $10 lunch special (who can refuse that) and discovered a wholeheartedly decent flavor and texture to the pasta. Nothing amazing, but nicely reliable - much like our west Soho friend, Pepe Rosso. The differences are a side salad and a plethora of seats to choose from.
