Wonderful food, service and ambiance. The space is very intimate and elegant. The food was artfully presented and carefully prepared. The gnocchi was to die for. The lobster ravioli and Frito misto were delicious too. We also had the pistachio cannelloni that was unique and delicious. All the food was delicate and tasted homemade. It didn't feel overly rich or salty. This venue seems to be fully run by Italians which adds to its vibe. They treated us really well. Special place.
One of the best Italian places! I highly recommend Mangia to anyone looking for an authentic Italian experience. The restaurant is quaint with a charming intimate atmosphere. The service is top notch, the food is delicious, cocktails are remarkable and the deserts are delectable.
This is a solid Italian restaurant. I consider it one of the best that I’ve had here in Vancouver. Their mussels are amazing, and the sauce is wonderful! My friends and I sat on their balcony seats; the place is also windproof and got heaters beside it. 10/10
Amazed!Best pasta I have ever eaten! Everything we ate was exceptionally made and I'm sure from the very best ingredients. Table service was also very courteous and professional. I found the setting unique because this restaurant is in a small house which is in a semi industrial area but the service and quality of food is that of a fine dining establishment. I feel because of that setting the focus is squarely on food, so this is definitely for foodies who seek out the best quality and taste.
I had the most magical experience celebrating my birthday at Mangia Cucina. It genuinely feels like you're transported to Italy when you walk through the door. Our server was charming and provided just the right amount of attention. Drinks were delicious (recommend the Lost Plane) and the food was amazing. I'd highly recommend the arancini, polpo (the best octopus I've had outside of Spain) and ravioli (the filling is pure crab and lobster meat which highlights those delicious seafood flavours). Reservations are a must as seats are very limited so be sure to plan ahead! This was one of the best dining experiences I've had in Vancouver and I can't wait to come back.
Some of the best Italian food I’ve had, hands down. If you’re in Vancouver you HAVE to eat here. I had dinner here twice in 2 days cause the experience was so great. The service was impeccable and I was treated with respect, the food was out of this world and I left feeling very happy. Highly recommend the Arancina, Gnocchi, the Porcini risotto, burrata starter, the medaglioni, for desert: the tiramisu and affogato! Make reservations in advance.
A cozy Italian restaurant located in a house.Their tables are set really close to one another. Travel photography and possibly family pictures (?) on their walls.We had their red snapper special with eggplant, and the famous crab and lobster ravioli. Hands down this is my FAVORITE lobster and crab ravioli EVER. The large chunks of crab/lobster meat on top of the ravioli were very much appreciated. I love the sauce and filling and just about everything on my dish. I also enjoyed the flavours of the red snapper dish. Eggplant cooked and seasoned perfectly with caramelized onions. Overall their pasta and main were 10/10 fantastic.Appetizers and desserts are ok but I thought the dessert to be slightly too sweet and could maybe try a creamier or lighter filling/icing. Appetizers a bit too salty and * fishy tasting * for my liking. Next time would try ordering other things to try.Cocktails were easy to drink and cutely designed. 10/10Server was excellent, manager was friendly. 10/10It's probably not a big deal to everyone, but it was noticed in my type of dining since I like to research and read the descriptions. Mangias menu changes a lot and they could be more diligent at updating their menus, or have the server notify of the changes verbally. It wasn't explained that it was different from what the menu stated so sometimes the dishes come as a surprise to us, and honestly if we knew that it was different we would have chosen different menu items to try. They were very nice and made up for this at the restaurant. Thank you ❤️Street parkingWashrooms ok
Once my friend told me that it’s the most delicious Italian food in Vancouver, so I decided to visit. She was 100% right! Great service, delicious food and so cozy atmosphere. Feels like you visited old Italian friends. Thanks! We will visit you again for sure ❤️❤️❤️
Best Italian Restaurant in Vancouver!Conveniently located in the Olympic Village & Mount Pleasant area, it is also close to visitors from Downtown and Cambie Village.
