Mangia Cucina & Bar - Vancouver, British Columbia

Owner is friendly, talks with and connects with customers. It is very rare in North America, I value this alone with 5 stars. Should be the standard of customer service excellence. Parking is limited, prices are on the high side but food is astonishingly good, well worth your money, serving sizes ... may look smallish in the photos but turn out to be just right when you follow the logic in the menu: appetizers, first plate, second plate, dessert.

I yesterday had the pleasure of dining at a charming Italian restaurant and was blown away by the experience. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and a cozy atmosphere. The decor was elegant, yet casual. Our server, Bruno, was exceptional. He went above and beyond ... to ensure that we had a delightful experience. He checked on us frequently, making sure that we were happy with each dish. Speaking of the food, it was absolutely divine. Each dish was bursting with flavor and expertly crafted. The portions were generous, so we were too full to finish our desserts, even though it was the best tiramisu that I had ever tasted. I highly recommend trying the salmon squid ink pasta, which were some of the best I've ever had. Overall, I can't recommend this restaurant enough. From the atmosphere to the food to the outstanding service, it was a truly unforgettable experience. Thanks to Bruno and the entire staff for making our evening so special. We will definitely be back! Read more

Amazing experience to dine in at Mangia. Bruno served us with his passion and we feel like traveled to Italy. The food and wine are awesome, portion is quite generous:) will come back again. More light on the side table will be great :)

This restaurant has real authentic Italian food. The music playing was the most popular in Italy, such as Lunapop and Tiziano. The olive they serve is the best one (people who appreciate olive oil need to try bread with olive oil). Arancini was perfect! The Carbonara was terrific, I cannot ... describe how much I loved it, and it is the authentic one; the pancetta was excellent! And for dessert, I ordered the Canolo, the best one I have ever eaten in my life. I have water in my mouth now, remembering all these foods: Grazie tanti Bruno, Alessandro e Vicenzo per proporzionare la esperienza “di essere” in Italia. Read more

My wife and I came this evening on a whim. Have been wanting to try this place since a colleague told me about it. Wow! I was very impressed and so was my wife. The food is exquisite and the service is outstanding. We had the octopus ... appetizer with potato salad. So perfectly cooked and seasoned. My wife had the crab and lobster ravioli and I had the salmon spaghetti for our mains. Again utterly flawless. We topped it off with tiramisu and cannoli. Both superb! Can not think of a single thing that was less than perfect. Will be back again. Read more
