The Mango Tree Restaurant

Very pretentious people who go to this restaurant, if that’s what you like then u will fit right in!!!
Food is mediocre although their salads are good but way too small for $ 12!
Portion sizes of entrees are VERY small and certainly not worth the outrageous prices!!!
Mark, the bartender, is rude… Didn’t wait on us right away because he was too busy schmucking it up with his regular rich people and not us ordinary peeps!
We had to ask for a menu. It was clear to us he was catering to the rich ones to get a good tip!!!
We will never go again! Go to Fat Kahunas down the street! U will love it!

We were greeted with a professional hostess, that led us back into the garden room and let us choose our table, we faced the water pond at a table for two. Our waiter Bill was very friendly and answered all our questions, and also let my mom substitute a side dish. Bill brought us a starter, which was ricotta with Parmesan and pecans, it was tasty. Then came the warm crusty bread, 4 slices paired with infused herb oil. We then ordered salads, salad is not included with your meal. I got the arugula bacon and apple, it was delicious. My mom had salmon and I got the 8oz filet mignon which was tender as butter. The Swiss chard au gratin was so good. We ended with the dessert minis, at only $ 3 we got two each, it was plenty.

the new Mango Tree under the ownership of European trained chef Luca Filadi and his wife Leann, is siimply one of the finest restaurants you’ll ever experience. I travel. I eat and I specialize in food photography so I came to Mango Tree with a little bit of experience and I have not had a finer meal in a major city. The atmosphere is elegant and yet you could also walk in casually dressed and feel quite at home. They have an excellent wine list as well and a knowledgeable wait staff that will help you make the perfect food/​wine pairing. Like many Brevardians I remember the original Mango Tree, one of the true early milestones in Brevard County fine dining. The new Mango Tree under the Filadi’s continues that tradition. Don’t miss an opportunity to experience this amazing restaurant.

4.5 Food and service was suburb! Ordered the Veal Scaloppini and it was excellent portion size was a little small but enough to fill you up. I wish that they had one or 2 specialty beers instead of the run of the mill beer selection. They have an amazing acoustic guitar player that was performing a variety of genres.

We did the Valentine’s day menu. Everything was delicious, but the portions were small at ninety five per person on Valentine’s day. The guitar player and ambiance were great, but service was a tad slow. Overall a good experience, would like to go back some time to order off the regular menu at a better value.

Great restaurant for a date! Romantic mood and great atmosphere. Sometimes they have a live music playing. The food is quite good but the food portions are on the smaller side. Bigger portions and I would have given the 5^th star.

It was our good fortune to dine at The Mango Tree where each dish was superbly presented and delectable to eat. There is full linen on the tables and the plate and glass service is charming, different and most interesting. We started with an amuse bouche served in small dishes which were delicious. Our party of four decided try the spaghetti amaratricini and we made a fine choice. This was followed by two of getting the mistacanza hitch had just the perfect amount of dressing, one of getting the insullata pompidori, an excellent choice, and the last getting the special lentil soup served in a most interesting bowl.
Our dinners were delectable. I choose the filet which arrived butterflied, and perfectly prepared with a slightly maroon middle, not leather-​like. As I enjoyeded the sauce, I hardly used the homemade and delicious ketchup. My husband had the pork chop which was perfect. My sister had the triple-​tail fish and not a morsel was left on her plate.
Dessert was also enjoyed. It is reasonably priced, small portions although I couldn’t finish mine, and the perfect ending to an amazing meal.
Rounding out and putting the cherry on top was our waiter, Will. He saw to and anticipated our every need. His knowledge of wine is excellent and his suggestions were appreciated and followed and did not disappoint.
The Mango Tree is a highly recommended and more than satisfying experience.

I came here for a New Year’s Eve dinner. The atmosphere was great. It consisted of a crowd probably in the 45−60s age group. There was a set menu with limited selection. Our bill was 210 dollars for a 4 course meal with one glass of wine. For just a fine dining experience, the waiter did not offer any explanation of any of the menu items and did not give his name. The food was great but the service was not. I like an experience, I like a wow factor based on food, service, and atmosphere. Service lacked for me. There was a guitarist there also and he was good.

Came here for dinner on Saturday night with my husband. First impression was this place is very clean. We were seated in a room kinda like a porch and overlooking a nice pond it was lovely. Our server was Bill I believe his name was. Bill came over and offered us menus… not drinks. 10 minutes later he came back over and we ordered drinks, a gimlet and a glass of wine. We waited again. He comes back and says the bartender doesnt know how to make a gimlet… really??? We asked about the wine, he said oh I not the wine person. He leaves and a very handsome young man comes over, I think his name was Bill too, or maybe Will.
The night turned around here, hence the 5 star rating. We were both going to get a glass of wine but Will suggested a FANTASTIC chardonnay by the bottle so we decided to buy it. Will was very knowledgable about wine, he was a sommelier, and he really chose a nice bottle. My husband and I ordered the Mahi fish with black rice and also a yummy pasta dish. Wine paired perfectly. Will came over a few times to refill wine and ask how our meal was going. BILL our waiter, was VERY nice, however hardly seen except seen running around frantically. We also had another server who delivered our food and cleared our food I do not know his name.
Overall the food was VERY good, a bit slow, but very good. The service was good on some ends but bad in others. Our server did not spend time with us at all just the bare minimum which was ehhhhh but I really enjoyed talking to this restaurants wine guy he was charming and told us about a chef’s table dinner so my husband and I are planning a dinner with 2 other couples to come in and hopefully he will help us with wine again!!! Overall dinner for 2 was 170 without tip not too bad for having a nice bottle of wine. Thank you MANGO TREE, see u soon! We are new to the area and looking forward to making this a regular place!

Had dinner at the mango tree last night with some friends! It was my first time here and it was good. Friendly personable server and the food was delicious. My husband got the filet which he enjoyed. I got the spaghetti amatricana which was good. She asked if I wanted chicken or shrimp in it which was a nice addition not listed on the menu so I got shrimp. I also got a side Caesar salad with shrimp that was good. Prices are a little high and I did see that extra bread baskets were $ 5 a piece which was strange. Overall a nice place to go!

Stopped at the Mango Tree on the way from a road trip. We were so tired of fast food and wanted a nice dinner. It was an amazing dinner. Incredible service by «Paige». Keep up the good work folks. See you again some day!

Great service throughout. Talented, appropriate and subtle live music in the bar area. Great bar. The food was five stars. One of our party ordered the house made spaghetti amatriciana which was rated by our group as ‘best pasta ever’ (this is notable as the previous ‘best’ was in Umbria). Daily special fish dish was excellent as we’re the side dishes, Italian cheeses with condiments – all were all great. Coconut and coffee gelato have now both become ‘bests’ (sorry Angelo Brocato). One of our party is a vegetarian and was able to put together an exceptional meal (ratatouille and black rice). We were more than pleasantly surprised by Mango Tree and will be back. We ordered an additional order to go of the spaghetti amatriciana for lunch the next day.

Stumbled pup this hidden gem tonight. We were passing through Cocoa to buy surfboards. Every course ordered was absolutely delicious. From the complimentary ricotta appetizer, to the chocolate lava cake with pistachio gelato. Our server was Paige and she was wonderful. Definitely give this place a try.

Since this restaurant has been re-​opened as an upscale Italian spot, I’ve been twice. Both times it’s been outstanding.
You can’t miss ordering some type of pasta dish, either as an entrée or to share with the table. The pasta is all made at the restaurant and so delicious. On our first visit, we tried a ravioli that had filet of beef inside it (with other spices/​ingredients) and was served in a sage butter sauce. I don’t think we left a drop of the sauce. We also tried their bucatini amatriciana… also amazing. On that same visit they were featuring black truffles, so my father and I ordered their beef filet special with a truffle sauce. Oh. my. dang. So very good! My mother ordered their crab cake as a starter and she was in love. The service was wonderful as well.
I decided to take my wife back for our 10 year anniversary this past March. We were trying to decide between a few restaurants in town (The Fat Snook, Crush Eleven) but decided that The Mango Tree was where we wanted to celebrate. We were so glad that we did. They knew it was our anniversary and sat us in a more secluded area away from other parties. I appreciated that.
We had a soft shell crab appetizer with a delicious creamy sauce. Then my wife tried their mushroom bisque. I was wishing I’d gotten my own bowl. We also had to try another small order of that delicious bucatini amatriciana. It was just as good as we’d remembered.
My wife ordered their red snapper special and I tried their double cut pork chop. I’ve never had a thick pork chop like that cooked so perfectly. Usually it’s a little on the dry side (at least part of it) but this was PERFECTLY cooked throughout. My wife’s snapper was amazing also.
The only slight miss was dessert and it was a homemade coconut ice cream that we shared. It was just OK… not something I’d order again I think.
We also had a bottle of wine which, sadly, I can’t remember at this point. I must be getting old :\
If you’re in the mood for truly upscale Italian, then The Mango Tree is where you should be. This isn’t a «nicer Carrabba’s» (although I do enjoy Carrabba’s. don’t get me wrong). It’s in a whole other league. It’s a bit pricey but completely worth it.

We’ve been going here for the past twenty years or so, and the place has improved over that time, especially after the ownership change about four years ago.
Live piano music has been replaced by very pleasant guitar music, which seems to make the space a bit more intimate. Certainly the volume level is perfect, allowing conversation, yet providing a great listening environment.
The window into the kitchen seems a bit disconnected from the rest of the ambiance, but this really affects only the table right in front of it.
The bartender here is fabulous, and gave us one of the best bar experiences we’ve had, encouraging us to sample different exotic liqueurs and concocting drinks from scratch, the old fashioned way (pun intended). I will return specifically because of his great service.

Was in town Easter weekend and did not have reservation with a party of 6, thanks to my fellow Unilocalers I was able to find this gem.
Outside looks like it would be very small and we even questioned if we were at the right place. To our surprise we entered what was a very nice place with a full service bar that looked very modern and a koi pond in the dining area. Live music was low but made for a very relaxing evening.
The food was great! We had snapper special, pork chop, veal chop, and the spaghetti all of which was excellent. The service was top notch and the entire staff was very friendly.
Enjoy!!!

Disappointing… Not worth the price… Several better Italian options in town including the Dove or Amici or even Domenicos. She had the fresh catch which was good but nothing special. I had the Beef Bourgonion which was a small portion and a little fatty. Entrée doesn’t include salad. So all in all, wouldn’t come back.

Pasquale the server was fantastic. Cobia special over black rice was amazing Beef bourgnion was as well. A great fine dining option in Cocoa. I’ve been several times the past two years and it never disappoints.

This place is OUTSTANDING! Had the Caesar salad to start and it might have been the best Caesar I have ever had. My server Kate was fantastic as well. Can’t go wrong here. Décor, music, food and service has to be best in Cocoa.

We decided to give this restaurant a try. We didn’t have a reservation but were seated promptly. It is a very nicely decorated restaurant. Get a seat next to the koi pond if you can. Its a cozy and more quiet space. We ordered a glass of champagne and a martini to start. Both were just ok but not great. The salads here are delicious. We had the watermelon salad and the tomato and buffalo mozzarella. The pasta too was delicious. We had the gnocchi and the pappardella. The wine we had with our meal was just ok. Dessert here was a miss. We shared the cheesecake and it was just a sliver, had no density, and lacked in taste. Well be back for the food.
