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!

I wanted to give 5 stars but they fell short in service. They were rushing us and forgot things. Out of the 5 dishes, 3 were really good, and 2 were just ok. They need more attention to detail and patience.

Incredibly loud, tables are far to close together making it uncomfortable and the food was marginal at best. Beyond disappointed.
