Mangia Organica owner Valentino La Rosa and business partner Andrew Martino were joined by Township Administrator Matthew Watkins, Mayor Michael Venezia, Ella Venezia, and friends for the ribbon cutting and official opening of Mangia Organica on Bloomfield Center's Restaurant Row on Glenwood Avenue Thursday night. 

La Rosa describes the restaurant concept as 'fast-casual Italian' with a strong influence from the  Emilia-Romagna region. The region is home to Bologna, Modena, and Parma, three cities who names grace tables and kitchens in American homes and restaurants.
