Wow! I can't believe we waited this long to eat here. Fantastic appetizers: antipasto for two and mussels were so so good. I had the chicken parm and the sauce was delicious! Branzino was well seasoned and the pizzas are absolutely perfect. Had the pear cheesecake and butter cake dessert and we couldn't be happier. Really good food and great service, and very low key atmosphere. We will definitely be back.

Came in here for just dessert. WOW! They have an amazing selection here. We sat at the bar and asked the super sweet and knowledgeable bartender, Amanda, what she suggested and let me tell you I'm so glad I did because it was the best dessert torta Al Burro. Drinks were really good too! Ambiance is super chill & laid back yet classy if that makes sense. Lol

Food was so good. Everything we had was delicious, from appetizers to our main course it was perfect. It was pretty quiet at the restaurant since we went early in the afternoon. We sat in their outdoor space which is very cool and perfectly shaded. Service was fine, our waitress gave us good recommendations on the menu!

This restaurant has a great environment with wonderful live music. It is also very conveniently located with plenty of parking! The drinks and the apps were delicious as well. The pasta we ordered was ok, I'd love to come back and try more!

Went to Mangia Bene in Valentine's Day for an early dinner & loved the ambience & service that we experienced. Nicoletta our waitress was soft spoken, knowledgeable & patient with our ordering. We ordered the chicken parmigiana, casarroce di bosco, meatballs, eggplant rollatinis, roasted chicken wings & for desert torta burro. We enjoyed everything including the bar & wine selections. I had a gulietta & Lambrusco.

My old next door neighbor & I want to get together before Christmas. She suggested dinner and I should pick the place. Her husband likes a nice, cozy spot with a well stocked bar. My search brought me to Mangia Bene in Rockville Center. Walking in, I see my neighbor and her husband. Guy back slaps happen, we all hug and order drinks. I see all of the familiar Scotches, so I order a Basil Hayden neat. We're started talking about the typical things going on in our lives, now our table is ready. My wife, I can see her wheels turning but she's sitting far away from me so the no sharing rule is in effect. Mangia Bene was voted one of the best Long Island pizza for 2023. Mangia Bene is not a pizza place, its a full sit down restaurant with a huge pizza oven that is in the dining room. Rock on MB! We all agree on the pizza special with truffle oil as well as a calamari starter. The pizza? I don't want to hear about black spots and bubbles on pizza. Those "blisters" represent a well quality pizza. The first bite had me swooning! Sooo good and I love the Truffle flavor at the end. The pasta? Award winning! Homemade, I ordered the Strozzapreti Pesto, freshly made strozzapreti pasta tossed in a basil pesto sauce, pine nuts and string beans. Sounds a little krazy but I like krazy! It was a lot of pasta, I needed my wife next to me to share some of this pasta. haha My friends husband ordered an after dinner latte, I ordered a single espresso and somehow Tiramisu appeared at the table? Perfecto! Great food in a nice atmosphere, Mangia Bene is a five star experience.

Cute and comfortable village restaurant with authentic Italian cuisine. The bread (crusty on the outside and soft on the inside) is served with ricotta and herbs. The chicken parm was a very generous size with lots of melted cheese on top. We also shared the pasta carbonara, which was creamy with just the right amount of pancetta. Our friends enjoyed the white clam pizza and the Sunday sauce special (marinara with a meatball, short rib and an Italian sausage link). It was all fantastic!
