Mangia E Bevi - Oceanside

Food just wasn't very good. Servers were nice and attentive but not worth the overpriced dishes.

We've come here many times over the years. The food is always outstanding. Prices are above average but in-line with the level of cookery that's employed. I mean, the food tastes and LOOKS great. They have a $40 Groupon too if you want to curb the cost just a bit. Service has always been good. Ample parking. Their family owns a couple of other well-known restaurants and I've never had a bad meal or experience here. Worth it.

Bruschette recipe has been changed. It used to be soft bread with the respective toppings. Its now switched to crispy bread underneath that. I liked both versions but my husband preferred the soft bread version. So if ure like him, check if the bread is going to be crispy or soft.And ask for the respective. The cauliflower gnocchi was good. Thin shreds of asparagus and one piece of thinly sliced cauliflower. As well as marinated lemon made this a wonderful light delightful dish. The cannoli was delish. Yummy crispy shell with cream inside dusted with pistachio dust and chocolate chips inside. Love it My husband had a carbonate which he swore was the best thing he has ever eaten. Service is as usual fantastic. Will be back again n again n again

Not your typical Italian menu, but creative and delicious. LOVE the fried burratta appetizer and meat balls. They always have Groupons so check it out.

I love sitting in a restaurant and listening to the native language of the food. I went here for a free meal by the Trident Society....yup, cremation. The food was excellent and more than I expected. We started with a salad that had fried artichoke on it. The coating was crisp, and the inside was creamy and perfectly seasoned. I always go with a Margarita pizza to test the quality of the pizza. Too simple to hide inadequacies. The crist was thin but crisp and had salt and a slight fermented taste similar to what I had in Naples. The sauce was fresh and fresh tasting. The cheese had just the right taste and texture, quality. I have gone back and had the burrito appetizer. So crispy and creamy. Once again, the sauce is smoky, sweet, and peppery. Got a different pizza this time, still got a couple slices in the fridge....got to go and eat it!!
