Mangia Nashville: Gluten Free Dining Club Meetup
2018-05-24 19:00 - 21:00 (America/Chicago) | Mangia Nashville, 701 Craighead St, Nashville, Tennessee, 37204, United States
A great group enjoyed gluten free Italian fare at Mangia Nashville the last time we planned a dinner there. We are thinking that it might be time for others who want to explore the wonderful food there or for some of those who went before to try new items they didn’t try last time. They have pasta and pizza with either garlic or black carbon foccacia crust with great toppings, salads, panino sandwiches, even desserts — and all are available gluten free! You can order whatever you want from the menu and explore the various possibilities for yourselves. Just let us know that you will be able to join us on Thursday evening, May 24. We hope that you can come before you take off for Memorial Day Weekend or that this dinner will be a fun way to begin your Memorial Day Weekend. Come join the group for a fun evening of great gluten free Italian!
See below for address. Located just off the corner of Franklin Rd and Craighead.
