    Loved everything! We had the best bartender, Clark. Highly recommend their Wildflower cocktail. For appetizers we got the Brussels sprouts, French fries (came with a blue cheese topping) and their spinach artichoke dip. All for amazing! Loved their Bistro burger too.

    Still the great quality food and service that have made this a Manhattan Beach mainstay for over 2 decades. The diver scallops were perfectly seared, the bolognese just perfect, huge chicken Parm portion to satisfy our hungry 23-year-old. Perhaps best of all, Mangiamo offers a tasteful and relaxing atmosphere, which is becoming too rare among the many "high energy" restaurants that try to be loud to invoke a sense of "the scene". Keep up the good work!
