We had dinner at this place on a Sunday night, and the wait was only 30 minutes. This is a very cute restaurant with great staff. The food was amazing, and our server, Valentino, was very nice and attentive. We’ll definitely go back there again.

I had an intimate surprise birthday celebration during happy hour last week and Frank, the manager helped me plan it and made himself available for questions and suggestions. Upon arrival, he made sure to assist in every way he could. Wes I believe is the bartender’s name, he kept every one of my guests happy with taking their drink and appetizers orders were taken and served promptly.
A group of us stayed for dinner and Fidel, our server did an excellent job at keeping my guests fed and happy.
This cozy restaurant is in a great location steps from the Manhattan Beach Pier. The environment and energy are calming and pleasant but celebratory. The service is absolutely outstanding.
The happy hour menu is incredible! Lots of great food choices with nice libations options, and all wines are half price!
The dinner menu is also fantastic. I had the Frutti De Mare and if you like seafood, you won’t be disappointed. Another guest had the King Salmon and cleaned her plate. Actually, everyone did and I’m not ashamed to admit it! I was praised by all my guests for hosting the event at Mangiamo’s for days!
Things to be aware of is that they’re only open for dinner. Their happy hour is Mon-Thurs 4-6pm. Parking is quite challenging, and make sure that if you park on a hill your wheels are turned accordingly or you WILL get a ticket. Manhattan Beach is known for being quick at this.
I highly recommend this place for any occasion. I know for sure I’ll be back very soon!

Went for my birthday a few weeks back. My girlfriend and I had very high expectations. It’s a bit like eating in a basement. The food simply just wasn’t great. We had a few pastas, none of which were good enough to finish. The pizza was ok. I thought it’s ridiculous that at an Italian restaurant I had to pay for bread! One and done restaurant for us.

Food is amazing here, each of our main dishes were spectacular. Service is on top of things and ambiance is pretty good too. One of our fav Italian restaurants, not sure why it’s not rated higher!

Calamari was amazing. The blackened chicken was good but not very flavorful
The espresso martini was fabulous.
The service was top notch and the location was amazing. The construction clocked our view to the ocean but it was still a great place.

This restaurant is mediocre, however for a newly opened place they did fine. The issues we faced were: the waiter seemed to rush us during the visit, he also was quite inattentive, especially when more people started showing up, we waited 15 minutes to order dessert, caprese was horrible (too plain, too much olive oil, not salty enough), table was too small even for just two people, and also the waiter did not bring us any bread, even though everyone around had some. Overall, other dishes we tried (chowder, gnocchi, and scallops) were pretty good. It was also very easy to make reservations, and the place itself is nice. This restaurant is worth a visit, even if just a single one.

I brought my wife here for her birthday. We ate in the outdoor dining outfitted for COVID. I had a spicy chicken dish with penne and was quite happy with it. My wife ordered a shrimp pasta topped with a crab cake and was happy with her choice. The bread pudding they gave my wife for her birthday was AMAZING. We continue to talk about it to this day.

Absolutely incredible food and great service. We were a big party and they took good care of us the whole time. I highly recommend the scallops with the lobster ravioli, but everything I tried was amazing. I will be back again soon!
