Mangia e Bevi

We do Bachelorette Parties Great Fun, Good Food

  • Authentic Italian cuisine
  • Huge selection of wine
  • Perfect for private parties

Mangia e Bevi means "Eat & drink" in Italian, but it's more of a feast for the sense. Fusing the best of old and new world Italian cuisine, Mangia e Bevi offers an authentic Italian cuisine enhanced with gourmet brick oven pizzas. This restaurant offers a vibrant atmosphere that is accentuated with expressive art in the form of cuisine, entertainment and loud tambourines.

"It's the quintessential trattoria -- colorful, fun, lively with authentic Italian background music, and you get a good meal and a nice bottle of wine without mortgaging the ancestral home." - New York Post's Sheldon Landwehr

I went here for a bachlorette party... The plus: Their fried appetizers, salads, and Penne a la Vodka were amazing and the music and dancing on tables was a fun experience Their Downfall: When we got to our table, two of our friends left to run to the ATM to get cash and the host asked us where they were. When we told him, he gave us an attitude and literally reprimanded us for them not doing it earlier. Random. Then when dinner was finished, instead of the waiter asking us if we wanted tea or coffee (which was included in our dinner package), he just dropped off our check. Of course we didn't have much time to even pass the check around because once we looked at the bill, the bus boys and our waiter began cleaning off our table and flipping it for the next party. I get that they have a fast turn-around because it's such a busy place, but they rushed us out of our seats which I think is completely rude. My friend and I, who paid with our credit cards, were even left standing in the doorway waiting to give our signatures. It was so awkward. I guess though with an automatic 20% gratuity included in every bill, the servers do not feel the need to live up to their tips. Conclusion: A fun and upbeat atmosphere, but I'd take a low-key restaurant with a wait staff that doesn't make you feel like a burden over Mangia E. Bevi any day.

Pros: Ambience, Food

Cons: Customer Service, crowded

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

We went there for a birthday party and had a great time. The staff came out and sang happy birthday and danced for the birthday girl!! Lots of fun the food was like a taste of Italy.
