Stellar food , service , cocktails and wonderful staff ! Always a great time and always consistent service

I had my daughter's bridal shower here this past weekend and all I can say is WOW! They did an incredible job. The food was so delicious; the waitresses were the most sweetest girls and so helpful. The owner and her manager couldn't do enough to make us happy. They kept coming over to me with every single thing to make sure all was perfect and it truly was. My phone has been ringing off the hook today with my guests saying how spectacular everything was. I would highly recommend this venue for any celebration you may have. They get five stars in my book. Thank you for making everything perfect and to top it off at the end they came out with nutella pizza for our guest!!!! read more

From the food to the drinks- everything was 10/10! My absolute favorite was the fried eggplant and the espresso martini- Mike is also awesome, huge shoutout to the hospitality here! read more

Went with some friends last week and boy what a mistake! 20 minutes just to get a 20.00 cocktail . This is Long Island not manhattan!!! Food was slow and the restaurant was filled to about 30% capacity which was an immediate red flag. Chicken parm and salmon were dry and overpriced for quality. Penne vodka was adequate at best with overcooked pasta. No server checked back on us. Now to make it worse, we wanted to have coffee and talk with friends but then this loud music comes on, which is not the right fit for this type of area. The place definitely has an identity crisis. I would strongly advise against this place for a large group groups, quiet conversation. We always decide for ourselves and never go by other people's reviews because they can be subjective but the one thing that we notice is that it's never the owner's fault. Every single review that is subpar There is some excuse or they try to justify how great their place is. If you don't have thick skin or can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen! HARD PASS here! read more

I wanted to provide a quick update following the owner's reply. While Michael mentioned that the Sol Di Coco cocktail is $18, my receipt from last night shows it was charged at $20. I've attached the receipt for reference. Just sharing this for clarity, as accurate pricing helps set the right expectations for guests. Original review: When a $20 cocktail feels more like a shot, it tends to set the tone for the evening. We visited this restaurant tonight with high expectations, but the experience ultimately fell short. To start on a positive note, the hostess set a welcoming tone--friendly, polished, and professional--and the bus staff remained attentive and pleasant throughout the evening. We were also served complimentary bread with olive oil for dipping, along with a large bottle of tap water--both nice touches that added to the initial impression. We began with the Sol Di Coconut cocktail ($20), recommended by our waitress. While visually appealing, it arrived in a small glass with a large ice cube--closer in size to a shot than a proper cocktail--and felt underwhelming for the price. When I mentioned this, I was told this is simply their standard preparation. For our appetizer, we shared the wild caught colossal shrimp ($34), which came with three pieces. It was decent, but not particularly memorable. For our mains, we selected two pastas from the homemade pasta menu. I ordered the bucatini with seafood ($38), and my husband had the fusilli ($31). His dish was notably bland, and while mine was slightly better, it still didn't rise above average. At these price points, we expected more depth of flavor and execution. Overall, while the service elements were commendable, the food did not align with the pricing. The experience felt overpriced for what was delivered. In the end, we would consider this an average dining experience--around 3.5 stars. read more

Thursday night after a ball game in Massapequa, my little girl asked to get some pasta for dinner. I checked Yelp for a local Italian restaurant and found Mangia E Bevi. Ambience: upscale decor with tablecloth. The restaurant is split in half with a large bar and lounge on one side, and dining room on the other. The hostess strangely asked to take down my first and last name before seating us. Food: Calamari: freshly battered and Fried. Very flavorfully seasoned and crunchy. 4/5 Octopus Carpaccio - thinly sliced octopus. Lightly acidic. 4/5 Braised Short Rib - beautifully plated served on a bed of polenta. The flavor was good, but the Temperature was off. Parts of it were hot while other parts were warm. 4/5 read more

We had a great dinner here. Our waiter, Ernesto, was excellent--very friendly, quick with service, and did a great job explaining the night's specials. We started with the fried calamari and meatballs, and both were very good. For entrées, we ordered the vodka chicken parm, spicy rigatoni, and the ribeye special, along with a couple of other dishes that everyone enjoyed. The espresso martini was also delicious. The restaurant was decorated festively for Christmas, which added to the atmosphere, and the owner, Mike, was very friendly and welcoming. Overall, a really enjoyable experience. read more

My wife and I have had dinner @ Mangia E Bevi several times with family & friends - the food, service and drinks are always excellent and the atmosphere is beautiful. The owners, manager & staff truly want you to have the BEST experience. Based on this we decided to have my daughters Bridal shower @ Mangia E Bevi. The shower was this past Saturday 4/11/26 and it couldn't have been more perfect. The manager, staff and owners went above and beyond - even to the extent of preparing special meals for the Matrons of Honor who are gluten free and have nut allergy's. They helped us every step of the way. I "HIGHLY RECOMMEND" Mangia E Bevi for dinner, drinks or any private event!!!!!! They even have dance parties Friday's & Saturdays with a DJ!!!! Can't wait to go back!!!! read more

Great food and great service! The pesto pasta was my fav and the oxtail tagliatelle special was delicious as well! I was a bit sad about the sea-bass special bc it was a bit under cooked and the tiramisu had a liquor flavor I am not found of, but overall a great place to go back and try more dishes! read more

They ripped me off and over charged for everything on my bill and added items we never ordered. Beware. Check your CHECK!!!!

It was easy to make a reservation on open table. The atmosphere is beautiful and they had a DJ playing old school music which was fun and not too loud. The service was very friendly and relaxed. We didn't feel rushed at all. We got the eggplant parmesan which although an appetizer was easily entree size, margarita flatbread pizza and short rib pasta. The salad was delicious too with crispy eggplant on top. I like the creative items on the menu. Food was delicious. Was it expensive, yes but it is a more upscale restaurant. I wouldn't bring my kids lol but for adults it's worth it. read more

Omg where do I even begin??! Had the most DELICIOUS dinner here the other night! This restaurant is perfect for so many different nights out... Date night, girls night, family dinner, drinks with friends... They have a beautiful restaurant with sit down service and on the other side they have a bar and a fun lounge area with the perfect vibes for a great night!! The best part? They're delicious food! Everything we got was 10 out of 10 insanely delicious! The tricolor pizza flatbread was hands-down my favorite! But also the pesto pasta was absolutely out of this world! Everything was so good. The owners are so friendly and you can really tell that they put so much effort into this restaurant and the food that they serve! Everything is so fresh made to order and you totally can taste that! Next time you want a great night out with delicious food and fun vibes come on down you won't be disappointed! read more

Recently tried this new hotspot with my friend who I haven't seen in a long time. I mention this because I'll explain in a bit... The restaurant is beautiful! A great place for groups or family dinner. They have fun decor like a neon light wall by the bar area and a disco ball hanging from the dining room. My friend and I had a hard time choosing from their speciality cocktails because so many sounded delicious. Although $18-$20 a drink is a bit steep for me, it seems somewhat aligned with other upscale restaurants on the island. And I enjoyed my mule! There was a DJ playing extremely loud club music. Although this was fun in the beginning, I really had a hard time having a conversation with my friend. By the time we got our entree it was around 8:30, most people had finished eating and were gone... but the music was still super loud. I get restaurants wanting this type of vibe, but it was really annoying having to yell over the music. Nevertheless, the food was delicious! The bread basket was awesome with a variety of different rolls and focaccia and some herbed olive oil on the side. Our eggplant parmigiana appetizer was just enough for the 2 of us and cooked perfectly! We both got the cavatelli with shrimp which was a generous portion and just awesome! Both stuffed from our meal, we brought some home and need to go back again to try some of their desserts! read more

So this place is off the hook Thursday with dj Johnny nappy. Best dj since the 80's. The food is good. The service quite slow even though when we got there not a lot of patrons at bar. I ordered two double shot vodka seltzers $ 50$. Omg. I'll come back for the "dance music scene and food" not for drinks. Way too expensive I also was not even slightly buzzed. lol read more

My good friend and I came here on a whim after our initial plans changed Sunday. Hungry and in need of a yummy meal fix, Mangia e Bevi popped up. Let's go! Convenient parking in back municipal lot and entrance available from the back as well which makes it convenient. We perused the menu and I was just feeling a nice, warm bowl of soup before my main so I ordered the spinach straciatella (Italian comfort). I love a good tortellini brodo but this wasn't on the menu (maybe they will add it in the future?) and I ordered the eggplant Parmesan for my main (which is under the app menu). My friend ordered the Cesar salad with chicken. While we waited for our main, our server Ernesto brought us a yummy bowl of bread. Trust when I say, use the herb infused olive oil that is on the table to dip your bread into. It is sheer perfection. The ambiance here is fun, and seems to have a great vibe whether you are here with friends, family or a date. The owner (manager?) came around to check in on us too, which is always a nice touch and shows they care about your experience. And Benjamin, another waiter, even brought some extra bread out to me to eat with the rest of my eggplant (which was delicious by the way!) It comes here with vodka sauce but I asked to swap it out for marinara which they happily obliged. It was a huge portion for an app and I easily got two meals out of it. Pleasantly surprised by Mangia e Bevi. Grazie per una sera molto Bella! read more

My wife and I took our friends here for their birthday. Everything was really good, the service, the vibe, the food, and the drinks. I got the Holy Cannoli cocktail. It was way lighter and not as creamy as I was expecting which was actually a pleasant surprise. We all shared the white wine and garlic mussels for an appetizer, which were good. My wife and I split the chicken Luciano and the spicy mezzi rigatoni vodka. We completely enjoyed both. We also all shared the fried rainbow cookies were absolutely delicious. We would definitely be coming back! read more

Honestly, can't say enough good things about this place. Everything I've tried has been excellent. My favorites are the veal chop Valdostano... ginormous and excellent, the Branzino, and the Ahi Tuna...I'm not a huge pasta person but have tried many of the pizzas and they are very good also! Not the cheapest nor the most expensive place on the island and the owners make you feel at home. Highly recommend. The Pear Martini was delicious. wish I took a pic of the Valdostano... barely fit on my plate! Left overs for me! read more

You hear stories about PTSD and you think to yourself how could something so horrible happen to such a good person.... Then you eat at Mangia E Bevi.... Then you understand.... We showed up at Mangia E Bevi for a 7pm reservation and were promptly seated. After a short wait of only 30 minutes and exhausting all our bread baskets, our waitress finally found the time to come over to introduce herself. After ordering our drinks they promptly brought them over another 30 minutes later, this gave us plenty of time to reflect on all the bad decisions we've made in our lives up to this point. After another short wait of ONLY 45 more minutes, they were kind enough to give us the opportunity to put in our dinner and appetizer orders. Thankfully during this brief intermission, we were rewarded with some of the best Disco instrumentals from the 70's from a DJ you wouldn't let work your grandmothers 80th Birthday.... It's hilarious that two members of our party and the owner asked the DJ to change the playlist and he refused. The management and the waitstaff all agreed the music was horrendous. Fast forward another hour and to our surprise 1/2 our appetizers showed up. Thankfully the DJ set the mood by playing the best Disco Elevator music of the late 70's while we waited for the other 1/2 of our appetizers. On a positive note the owner made sure to apologize repeatedly and offered us a bottle of wine... I know he was trying to make a gesture but this didn't make up for the 2 1/2 hours of waiting we've already endured. Finally the big moment came, the entrees. In case anyone at is keeping track, we ordered one veal dish.... How many did they try to bring us? Yes you guessed it... 3. It's amazing when your friend orders a pasta dish and they proceed to offer him anything but... after offering him veal for the 3rd time they came to the realization maybe he didn't order veal, so of course they offered him chicken... 1/2 of the dishes were either incorrect or had to be reordered because they never came to the table until much later. The owner handled this nightmare of a dinner amazingly well.... Then it got progressively worse. First he offered wine, then he said we shouldn't have booked a 12 top at 7pm because it's too much for the kitchen staff, to finally "Why can't you women be more happy like the men"... Keep in mind it was 10:45 and 3 of our women hadn't even been served their dinner yet. Just when we thought waiting 3 hours to be fed was the breaking point, our waitress went full savage and threw a cocktail in one of our faces. Refreshing! It's sad because we had such high hopes but the place failed in so many ways.... read more

We were encouraged to try this place by a friend of ours who's a bartender in the area. We have come here a few times since. The food is excellent and the service is always great. The host at the front and the waitresses always make you feel like you're welcomed there. Great place. read more

A Must-Try Modern Italian Gem As well-traveled foodies, my husband and I are very selective--and Mangia & Bevi has truly stolen our hearts. This isn't your typical Italian spot. It's elevated, creative, and refreshingly modern, with just a hint of Miami flair. The food is consistently phenomenal--from their appetizers like their delicate vodka sauce rice balls and elevated eggplant Parm to their unforgettable fried veal chop (on a perfect arugula salad!) and rich, comforting short rib penne. The lamb is simply to die for, and their Sunday Sauce is the perfect cozy indulgence to end the weekend. Cocktails are next-level. My husband swears by their Negroni, and I'm hooked on their pineapple cocktail. Their summer spritzes are unique, seasonal, and delish. The vibe is effortlessly stylish but warm. One night we came and were surprised by a live Sinatra-style crooner--so charming! Another night I brought my girlfriends for ladies night. The owners and the entire staff make every visit feel special. We keep coming back--and every time, it's a new favorite experience. Massapequa didn't need another Italian restaurant. It needed this one. Mille Grazie, Chad & Gabriela read more

Went out on a Friday night without a reservation. Saw this come up as hot and new - gave it a try and absolutely delighted to announce it was a great dinner and great ambiance. Really delicious meal, my friend ate every bite on her plate. Amazing portions. My leftovers the next day just as delicious as the day before. Fresh and yummy. I had a cinnamon old fashioned as a Bevi and we did in fact Mangia. So yes please MANGIA BEVI read more

This place has become one of my favorite restaurants. It manages to be many good things at once. The owners (husband and wife) and staff treat you like it's a neighborhood haunt. But the decor and ambiance are snazzy, and transports you to somewhere sunny like Miami or L.A. It works for date night. It works for a night out with the friends. It works for a special occasion. Oh, and the food is excellent. There is a porterhouse (as a special) that rivals the steakhouses that specialize in them. The flatbreads are great (they have their own pizza oven), the Veal Chop Mangia Beve style is excellent, and the pastas are all cooked to perfection. For the wine lovers, you will not find a better selection on Long Island- and that is not hyperbole. Check out the menu and see for yourself. Give this place a try. It will become one of your favorites too. read more

I am reposting my review since the last one isn't showing: We finally tried out Mangia E Beve and it did not disappoint! The restaurant is large and beautiful with smartly sectioned eating, dining and lounge areas. For such a large place the acoustics were amazing. The restaurant had a buzz but no overwhelming noise from any section. The food was fantastic as was the wine selection. We had 3 courses and all were great tasting with good portion sizes and presentation. The staff were extremely professional. Our glasses were always filled and the conversation always friendly. This will definitely be a regular spot for us. read more

Food cooked nicely and tasty. Good portion. Good service. Nice music. What took away from the fun was the $10 bottle of water. Still or tap? "still" still cost $10! Plus there is an extra charge when you use your credit card. Prices weren't cheap so this all added to the cost. Waiter should warn you about the water charge - that water left a very bad taste in my mouth. read more

I cannot thank everyone at Mangia E Bevi for the amazing bridal shower that we hosted there. From the care and service it was amazing. Stacy, Debbi,Carmella and Kiki were fabulous- the food was spectacular the care taken to the gluten free guests was beyond. Again big shout out to the entire staff, from the bottom of my heart Thank you. read more

Amazing new restaurant that is actually open late on a Monday! Had the pleasure of popping in randomly for a meal and was pleasantly surprised at the beautiful setting. Gorgeous massive bar and additional seating for over 100 people. We had their Chicken Parmesan (one ala vodka and the other in the classic marinara sauce) and it was delicious. It came with veggies and a side of potatoes which were perfectly cooked. Crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. They have several wines on tap in addition to a large wine selection. The bar was stocked with dozens of liquor choices and beers. Can't ask for much more. They haven't started a brunch menu yet but this place would be amazing for that. Hopefully that is added soon. read more

What a great experience!!! The inside is very big and has a modern and fun vibe. One side is more of a lounge and the other is the restaurant. And the food was amazing! Michael the owner and each of the staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. The cucumber martini was refreshing and delicious. The zucchini linguini was full of fresh zucchini and a generous helping of shrimp! My husband ordered the organic chicken Parm ala vodka, which the rigatoni had a nice kick, and the chicken was crispy and fresh. The entrée dishes were very generous portions. We ended up taking both of ours home. Overall, a great experience we will be back! read more

We came for the first time tonight & they didn't disappoint! Everything was great- the valet, the hostess, the waitstaff, the manager..amazing service.

Prices were reasonable too. This place is a must try. One of my new favs for sure! read more

Unfortunately , we will not be going back to Mangia E Bevi. This was second bad experience there and our last. We had reservations on open table got to the restaurant and found a seat at the bar. We let the hostess know that instead of our table we were going to sit and eat at the bar. Our bartender was nothing but wonderful. The gentlemen next to us ordered baked clams and we were waiting for his to be served to see how they looked and if we wanted to order as well. The order took way too long to come out. The bartender kept apologizing to him.We decided to order a salad to share and our main dishes. Making conversation with the gentlemen who was forever waiting for his baked clams to come out finally arrived. They look so good and so big for clams. Overheard another bartender saying to the couple on the other side of us that by accident they gave the gentlemen to our right their baked oysters and they gave them his clams. I said to the gentlemen next to me did you know they gave you oysters not clams. He said he they tasted like oysters. No one said anything to him. Could you imagine if he an allergy. No apology nothing. By this time we were still waiting for our caesar salad to come. I mean really how long does it take. Asked our bartender and she said it was coming right out. Still no salad. At this point we were starving and annoyed. Asked for the check explained to the bartender not her fault. We saw her talking to the owner. At that point he/she should have came over to us BUT didnt. Bartender gave us our check and apologize. We said the owner(s) should have approach us instead of talking to their friends or customers that frequent there. Finally as we were getting up from our seats the owner came over to us and said he apologized they were short staffed.. HMMMMMM then help out instead of sitting and talking to your fiends.. I said not only did we not get our food the gentleman next to us waiting for ever for his baked clams which were oysters not what he ordered. This was not our first bad experience it was our second. Other time we were over charged on NYE for a large party and we were 4 people. Didn't realize until we got home. The manager we spoke to was basically a jerk. We gave it another chance BUT one and done. read more

Pros: Atmosphere, decor, bar area Cons: wait time *even with a reservation, noise level *very loud music and a dj, service *lack of attention and lack of food, prices We arrived at 8 for our res. and waited in the bar area and had a drink. the wait was 20-30 minutes. Once we sat at the table, our waiter brought the menus and told us specials. We ordered our food and wound up yelling over extremely loud music. After 20 minutes they brought the stands for the flatbread. 20 minutes after that, they came over to tell us they ran out of the dough for the flatbread, and we would not be able to have that. (Mind you, we have zero food at this point.) He handed us menus again, but at this point we are very hungry and it's extremely loud. We were so turned off by the wait staff not telling us about the issue with the order until 940, that we walked out of the place and found food elsewhere. Whats the point of having an 8pm reservation if you aren't served food until 10 pm? They didn't even come back to ask if we wanted another drink or appetizer in the meantime. Not a very good first impression... read more
