Magoni's Ferry Landing Inc

Last week after doing a few errands in Fall River and Swansea, MA it was time for lunch.
My husband wanted to take me to an American/Italian restaurant that he sometimes goes to
with his friend. I am usually leery about the that but this time I was pleasantly surprised.
Magoni's parking lot was filled with Grand Marquis and Cadillacs slightly different than the cars you see parked in Newport(my home base).

It has a classic dark interior, booths and tables with Captain's chairs, a nautical theme, and a bar. The menu offers all the items that you think of in an Italian restaurant.
Everything is simple but very good. I ordered a lobster club with no mayo and I got what I asked for. Since my husband is a veteran of the place he knew what he wanted, a platter with veal, sausage, and meat balls with a side of ziti.

Every table gets a basket of fried dough with a sprinkling of sugar over it. Something I had not had in a long time. It was quite good, crisp outside and soft inside and just sweet enough.

Their version of shrimp scampi was a bit unusual in that the shrimp are breaded then served over a bed of pasta. I sounded just a bit heavy.

I tried some of my husbands ziti and the sauce was great, not at all acidic or too garlicky.
They offer free refills of ice tea and coffee. They also serve Italian bread with the meal.
A monitor displaying Keno hangs from the ceiling and each table has a setup for filling out slips.
Their entrees include Italian American veal, pork, steak, chicken, beef and seafood. They offer a full bar with wine, beer and liquors. They are wheelchair assessable and offer a children's and a take out menu.



Mangoni's Ferry Landing has been family operated since the 1930's and is a family style restaurant. The prices are very reasonable. They offer banquet facility that can accommodate 100 people.
