Mangia e Bevi, Ristorante Italiano

Two adults had a great lunch meal here on a Wednesday in early June. We hadn't been here lately but the food was as good as we remembered. The service was excellent from Nora. We had the Tortellini Pasticcia and the Chicken al Limone with ice teas. Enough food to take home for dinner. The cost with tax was about $57 less tip. We'll definitely be back.

Good food

I tried this restaurant for the first time today for lunch and have to say it was absolutely awful. First off, the prices are ridiculous for the quality of food—there is no lunch menu so nearly every dish is north of $22 and everything is a la carte. If you want a basket of bread it’s $5. I mean…come on. Are you that cheap that you can’t put a basket of bread on the table without charging for it? When you enter you are greeted with several signs that make it clear that you can’t come in with a drink or other food. I’m usually not in the mood to be scolded the second I walk into a place. More importantly, the food is just bad. I ordered the chicken marsala and it was hands down the worst chicken marsala I’ve ever eaten at a restaurant that bills themselves as Italian. What I was served was something I would have expected at a diner. The mushrooms were rough cut and looked like they were dumped onto the plate directly from a can. They weren’t browned and neither was the chicken—a tell tale sign that whoever was cooking in the kitchen was not trained. No chef worth their salt would have sent this plate out to a customer. The marsala sauce was orange. I tried to choke it down but it was tasteless. Absolutely unbelievable for a restaurant billing themselves as something upscale to serve this garbage. There are so many better Italian places and I’m sorry I wasted my time, money and tastebuds here.

Great lasagna and wine selection. Atmosphere was very nice and family oriented.

Have never been to an Italian restaurant where they don't serve bread without an extra charge. The prices should support this. This is a first, and left a bad taste for me.

The floors seemed as if they were not cleaned. Well the food was marginal. Feel Parmesan was tough chicken marsala was served without noodles. The service was good very friendly staff very pleasant wasn’t crowded on a Tuesday night. Calamari was marginal pricey for what you get portions are large, but food is just mediocre.

First time ordering food at Mangia e Bevi Ristorante and we loved their food. We got the chicken parmesana and the eggplant rollatini. Both amazing selections.

Everything about this restaurant was great! I ordered the chicken saltimboca, delicious. Food came out quick and hot. Bread is additional price but worth it with the large meals. A little expensive but very good :).

Beautifully presented ahi and grilled veggies drizzled with balsamic. Lasagna was great and basket of bread was worth the extra charge.
