Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Mansfield

An outstanding Italian restaurant with super fresh specials and an incredible assortment of standard menu items, each one as good as the last! We were seated in the dining room, however the bar area has a first come first served policy if you don't have a reservation, but i prefer the dining room. Spotlessly clean throughout, super friendly servers who are also knowledgeable about the menu items with very good explanation of the specials. There were so many specials i wanted it was hard to choose, however, i went with the seasonal pumpkin ravioli with a sage cream sauce which was one of the appetizer specials, and i'm so glad i did, it was one of the best i've had, soft pillows of pasta filled with sweet pumpkin bathed in a beautiful cream sauce, I contemplated ordering it again as a dinner! We also had seafood stuffed mushrooms and fresh shucked oysters, all were outstanding. For mains we managed to snag the last of the lamb shank Oso Bocco and it was also incredible, we also had chicken and sausage in cream sauce, filet mignon and a veal dish, it is impossible to pick a winner they were all winners! Love this place and really looking forward to returning soon. PS - the bread is to die for too!

The Bloody Mary was fabulous especially the jumbo shrimp. The really dark Guinness was excellent. The others on our party had their wonderful filtered water. No kidding, I just love it! The Alaskan chowder was a big surprise for our friends and it did not disappoint. Three of us had a seafood medley over pasta and each had enough for a second meal. None of us wanted to leave anything behind. The 4th person in our group had the baked fish and lobster casserole with rice and butternut squash. It also was a substantial serving and met all expectations. Two coffees and two desserts wrapped up our evening. The limoncello cake was light and delicious. My chocolate multilayered cake was outstanding with half of it now hidden in my freezer for my Christmas treat! It was a nice evening with our friends. The waitress, Belkis, was excellent and anticipated our every need. We will certainly be back again!

This is one of our favorites, because their homemade pasta and sauces are outstanding. We highly recommend all of them, especially the Mezzi Pacheri al Ragu! Their presentation is unique and interesting, and we have only experienced excellent waitstaff during our many visits. Highly recommend making advanced reservations through OpenTable, as this is a popular restaurant.
