Best Restaurants for Anniversaries in Hawthorne / Gardena

Sam was amazing from the time he introduced himself to the time we left. The service was amazing, and the Tomahawk Tuesday 3 course special was tantalizing. The steak was cooked exactly the way we requested. The creamed spinach and chipotle macaroni and cheese were an amazing accompaniment. To top it off, the blueberry lemon drop martinis set this meal off just right. This was one of the best birthday meals I've had in a while, chef's kiss!

Great value. Easy parking for a nominal fee. Food and were good - not super busy but took a while to get our food - but chips and salsa bridged the gap. Unfortunately while this chain had places all over the place - this is one of the few left

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!

Even on Xmas day, service was pleasant and efficient. Always enjoy food and margaritas 🍹
