I ordered the Pollo Milanese and found it super dry. When I looked it up on the menu the next day found they had either left off the olive oil, lemon sauce etc or let it sit too long that the sauce dried up. Was disappointing.My friends ordered the chicken fettuccine and it was cooked well and they enjoyed it.The Parmesan garlic bread was wonderful, as usual.The bus boy was fantastic and more attentive and helpful than the server.

Well I used to love this place, but as soon as the Calamari arrived, I knew the rest of what we ordered would not be good. The Tuto Mare was off, didn't even eat the Scallops, the Pizza was off (the cheese) the only item that was good was the Garlic Bread. The service was good, and the Server was a nice lady. Would not recommend with so many good Italian Restaurants in the Area.

We were looking for a good Italian restaurant and decided to try Mangia Bene. We had a reservation and were seated right away. The server, manager, and support staff all made our night wonderful. The customer service was excellent with drinks and food being brought in a timely manner. Everyone had such a positive attitude and made our dinner so enjoyable. Will definitely be coming back.

What a gem. The restaurant is a favorite of my sister-in-laws. We finally had a family lunch at Mangia Bene Cucina, and it was wonderful. The puttanesca was some of the best I have ever had!

Excellent food and service. Our reservation thru Open Door was never transmitted to the restaurant however they were able to get us to a table on time! One of my favorite restaurants.

Valentine's Day but seated quickly despite the fact it was getting crowded at that early hour of 6 PM.  Excellent seafood and pasta dishes were everything we could have expected.

Our food was mixed. I had the penne pasta with artichokes in a pesto cream sauce at the recommendation of our server. It was excellent. I wasnt able to finish it and when my daughter got the leftovers she said it was terrific as well. My wife ordered a tube pasts with sausage in some sort of cream sauce because she had enjoyed it the last time we cane to MB. This time she said it was noticeably more salty. Our server was fantastic - friendly, helpful and attentive. She made helpful recommendations when I asked, and she kept our water glasses from emptying. She came by enough to make sure we were okay. When my wife mentioned the salty entree our server immediately offered to re-make the meal and said it would be very quick. My wife decided not to do it, but she really appreciated the response.

From the moment we walked in the host was beyond helpful, and right away, knew about our reservation. Our server and everyone that came to check on us while we were there were beyond amazing, provided excellent service. Fast and efficient. I loved the fact that when I made the reservation I made a note it was for a bday & added on there who in our party was the birthday person & our server knew right away & surprised him with a small birthday cake. My go to drink here is the espresso martini instead of vodka I change it to tequila & it is a great drink ! The food is delicious and just the right amount

We have eaten here for years and this was the first time that my husband did not enjoy his meal. He ordered the tutto mare which is with three types of fish,the clams were empty shells, the shrimp was over cooked and the scallops were raw. This is his favorite meal and so decided to continue as was but mentioned it to the manager. The reply was" that is how we serve it"???? I will still go there to eat,but will avoid that dish until it is cooked and prepared differently properly and doesnt require antacid afterward.

On My Reservation I Stated My Party Of 4 Ladies Had A Birthday Lunch Celebration. We Received Nothing. We Also Felt Rushed From The Second We Sat Down. We Were Waiting For The Other Two Guests To Arrive And Our Server Wanted To Know If We Wanted To Wait To Order Of Course We Do. She Kept Clearing Our Plates, I Felt Like We Had To Fight To Keep Our Meal. The Food Was Okay. I Won't Go Back Lots Of Better Restaurants To Throw My Money Too.

This restaurant has very authentic Italian food with delicious versions of dishes I've had in other places. I grew up in NYC surrounded by many wonderful Italian restaurants and Mangia Bene makes me feel like I'm back in Little Italy in NYC.

Great local gem. Been here twice for lunch and both times loved it. Good food with casual atmosphere and a family friendly vibe. Definitely worth visiting as I'm sure you'll be a return customer as I am.

I love this place! everybody is super nice.. been there at least 20 times if not more.. Chris the owner is graceful and checks on his tables, and our hostess “America” is the nicest hostess, I have seen in a very long time... not mentioning the food is fabulous and the garlic bread to die for... I hope the Restaurant stays around for a long time so we can enjoy it .. Kudos to everyone who is part of such a fabulous team and place.?
