I sat at the bar tonight and enjoyed a delicious wood-fired prosciutto + funghi pizza and arugula salad. Friendly service, great atmosphere and authentic Italian food (owner Eleanor is from there). My fave hidden gem in the King Street East neighbourhood.

Overall not bad but expected more after having been recommended by a friend. I had the prosciutto and funghi pizza (great crust, sauce ok, mushrooms tasted good, but the ham was lacking - bland and dry unfortunately). My companion had the risotto and filet. The risotto was a negative suprise for an Italian restaurant: lacking butter, too watery and didn't really look or taste like risotto. The beef was good though.Staff was great!

Unbelievably good! The pasta was fresh and cooked to perfection, and the portions were filling but not wasteful. My partner had a pasta dish with mussels which was spiced so perfectly. And shout out to our server, Max: they were laid back and casual and so friendly. The food was amazing but Max's service really elevated the experience and made our meal something to remember.

Great pizzas and a great little patio on a quiet side street off King E. Small but proper wine list, and authentic pastas. Pizzas are creatively topped and tasty - charred on the edges and soft in the middle.Construction noise does somewhat dampen the ambience but then go after 7 when it’s shut down - that’s not the restaurant’s fault. Support them with a full meal order

Great food, we had the antipasto misto, a margherita pizza, the lasagna and the tiramisu. All wonderfully fresh and delicious tasting. Nice service, the server was very friendly and helpful, she gave good wine recommendations based on our preferences and let us taste two to help us with our choice. Was a little bit of a wait to get our bill as it had started getting busier in the restaurant, but didn’t mind as the atmosphere was very relaxed and enjoyable.

There are very few authentic Italian food experiences in the GTA. In a beautiful hidden location is this truly authentic restaurant that offers up amazing fare. The staff are passionate and gregarious. The decor is subtle and yet truly authentic... This is not North American Italian... This is a beautiful replication of a rustic kitchen in a historic town of Italy, where the tables are ready, and the warmth and welcome is waiting for you. The carpaccio.. to die for.... The pasta... Not your North American fare where you bloat horribly... The pizza ...a beautiful crust that features the toppings..not the bread.You need to go here... They are passionate about bringing family dinners to their patrons... Food, laughter and love.Sure the prices might seem high... But if you understand the cost of quality food items and the skill of creating and cooking this... You get it. Once you try... You truly get it.GO!

I had high expectations of Mangia & Bevi. I used to work in the same building and I recall having a great experience the first time I ate there.The results were very different tonight, they only had one server for all the tables, so we felt a bit ignored. After waiting for a long time I ended up walking to the bar to get black pepper. The portions were OK, the food was good, but not as delicious as I recall.

One of the few traditional and authentic Italian Restaurants remaining in Downtown Toronto. Casual Italian fare made by Italians. Can't go wrong!

Dined tonight at Mangia & Bevi, had the beet and spinach salad, the carpaccio salad and the funghocrema pasta. Salads were great, the pasta was perfectly al dense but didn't have enough mushrooms in it. Service was very attentive. My only issue was that one of the servers didn't wear a mask and she while good at her job made me uncomfortable. She said to another table we all get to choose. Well I choose not to eat where the server doesn't wear a mask.
So happy with our recent visit here to celebrate a birthday. It was lovely to be able to dine out again and Mangia & Bevi delivered in every way. We started with the roasted beet salad and a large order of the arancini. We shared the Prociutto and Funghi pizza, the Barese pizza, the Frutti Di Mare pasta and the Fungocrema pasta. The perfect amount of food for four people, with half a pizza left over for breakfast the next day. Of the dishes, the table favorite was the Fungocrema pasta. It was the balance of the earthiness from the mushrooms with the creaminess of the sauce and the perfectly al dente pasta. Absolutely delicious. The service team is so helpful and friendly. They even helped me source some birthday sparklers for the cake when I completely forgot to bring candles!

Going to dinner at Mangia feels like going to your Nona’s … the food is amazing and walking inside makes your mouth water with the smell of pizza wafting at you. The staff are friendly and accommodating and the decor is inviting and cozy.

Boyfriend and I have been wanting to try this quaint little spot near our condo for the past few months, and we were not disappointed at all. It is a family owned and run business, where you are treated like family. We ordered a bottle of the white wine which was suggested by Elenora, and was absolutely delicious. The pizza was the best ive ever had. so light, and all the ingredients tasted fresh! 10/10 will be going back after this lockdown!

Best pasta I’ve ever had!!! And that’s saying something. The mushroom pasta was to die for. This restaurant has such a great ambiance and vibe. The service was excellent. You really feel at home. Such a great overall experience - definitely going to become one of our go to spots downtown!
