Awesome hole in the wall and literally could have stepped out of the Godfather. Caesar salad was great as was the Chicken Parm sub. Big enough to easily split. People super friendly and food amazing what could be better? read more

My husband and I just arrived to town and stopped in here for a quick breakfast. The owner was busy cooking but gave us time to figure out what we wanted. I saw tater tots come out and I was hooked! When we were done we told him we were visiting from out of town and asked where to get the best cannolis. He gave us two places and we tried them both. He also told us where to go for pizza and his recommendations did not disappoint! Thank you for a great meal and even better conversation and recommendations! Hope to see you again! read more

Our last day in Boston for the week and we were looking for a small breakfast place in the north end. The reviews were good for Mangia and we walked about 5 blocks in the rain to get here. It's a quaint little neighborhood cafe and perfect for us. Even though it was not quite 10 am I asked the owner if I could order the meatball sub. He was very gracious and said yes. He told me it would be 10 extra minutes since he had to bake the bread. My wife orders the breakfast sandwich on a bagel. Glad I walked in the rain here. That meatball sub was really good. Crispy fresh bread and giants meatballs. Only wish I lived closer. My wife loved her bagel sandwich as well. read more

Omg I'm obsessed with this place. Food is good and cheap-- we had breakfast. Lots of variety: breakfast, hot and cold subs, pasta, CHOCOLATE CHIP PANCAKES!! I'll have to come back and try those bc I just got an egg and cheese on everything. The owner is so personable and friendly. It feels like you're hanging out with an old friend. He knows everyone who comes in. If I lived here I'd come in all the time but sadly I'm a tourist! read more

He was able to sit our group on short notice. There's not a lot of space in there but enough for our group of 15. He works efficiently and effectively and efficiently to get all of our orders and make them. All of our food was absolutely delicious! He also did have a vegetarian sauce for my pasta, and I got some garlic bread as a side. Delicious and absolutely would go again. read more

Great little hole-in-the-wall spot for lunch in the north end! Great sandwiches, great pasta, even serve breakfast! You can eat inside here socially distanced; and it's never packed. Clean, and the owner is super nice!! Makes everything himself. I had a meatball sub, and I don't care for the bread much, but everything else was fresh. Basic sandwich. My buddy had a steal Bellino however, and it was 9/10 BOMB. Definitely recommend. Definitely give this place a try and support during the pandemic. read more

Our family absolutely LOVED this charming, family-run restaurant in the heart of Boston's North End neighborhood! Dropping in one morning for breakfast, we enjoyed scrambled eggs, omelettes and chocolate-chip pancakes in a quaint but comfortable setting. The coffee was delicious, the service outstanding and the value simply AMAZING. We can't wait to come back for lunch the next time we're in Beantown! read more

Food was fab and quick! Excellent breakfast sandwich and coffee as well! Definitely worth a try!

I finally made it to Mangia x2 after having it on my list for a few months. I opted for the classic chicken Parm and walked out a happy man. The sandwich had a few less bells and whistles than the others I'd tried around the neighborhood but the flavor was just right. The marinara at Mangia Mangia is really well balanced and has just the right amount of tang. Another advantage is that this spot is a bit off the beaten path and you won't have to deal with large groups of tourists. Overall, the delicious sauce and quick service definitely won me over for a second visit to try the pasta. read more

Mangia Mangia - Iced coffee - Italian Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

We had the chicken marsala and it was awful. The ziti pasts was in a watery sauce with bits of ham and the chicken was obviously frozen and then microwaved. It was tough as cardboard. We had to wait a long time for our food. It seems to be a busy place for locals as the prices were reasonable. read more

Ok. I like the food, the atmosphere and the service...usually. My issue is that every year when patronizing them on Christmas Eve, they are waaay behind schedule! Today, more than an hour! Sorry, but covid wrecked 75% of my holiday plans. You messed up the last 25%. No good. read more

Great place to eat on the North End. Prices are great and the locals were super friendly. We had various pasta dishes and a big sandwich which was amazing. Skip the other places and come here if your looking for good food at a great price then stop here. read more

We love Mangia Mangia! Can't go wrong with breakfast sandwiches under $5 - our favorite is the egg, ham, and cheese on an English muffin. I always get a pancake for my 10 month old daughter and we usually order some tater tots to share. They have iced coffee and any drink you really need with breakfast or lunch. It's also just a fun place to sit and chat with the people coming in and out. Thank you for being our most regular 'go to' spot in the north end!! read more

Absolutely delicious. We just moved to the neighborhood and have already been multiple times. I can honestly say best subs I've ever had. The staff is so nice, which makes it even better. read more

Small little neighborhood spot that serves breakfast and lunch. Previously I came here for take out breakfast and a meatball sub to go. Both were made well and hit the spot. A bunch of North End locals have described this place as being the best burger in the neighborhood. I decided to order the burger today and it was pretty good. It was a thin patty cooked the way I requested with cheese, lettuce, and tomato on it. It reminded me of a better tasting fast food burger. I would come back again if I wanted a quick and cheap burger (around $5) however I would imagine most food lovers or foodies are looking for a more seasoned/complex burger. If you're looking for something cheap, quick, and simple this will definitely satisfy. However I still stand by Neptune Oyster as having the best burger in the North End. In general this is a cute little neighborhood place with fair prices and convenient to many living in the north end. It kind of reminds me of diner food. The workers were very friendly and provided good service for take out. read more

Went here for the first time today for breakfast and got a ham, egg and cheese on an English muffin. It was delicious and not greasy at all. The staff is very friendly and everything is made to order. Will definitely be coming back for breakfast and lunch in the near future. read more

Middling, unimpressive sandwich. Whatever they used to do to get secretly great bread must have disappeared during the temporary closure.

I have been here for many years, each time I went in it was a terrific experience. Excellent food, friendly owner, and good price.

The price is great and the quality is good. It's pretty hard to screw up a lot of the things on the menu but for the price the quality is much better than one could expect. Myself, I favor the chicken salad sandwich on toasted wheat and with a coke its under $5 which is a deal in Boston. Aside from the price and the quality the clientele and the service is a riot. Having lived in the North End for a couple of years I have to say that it is spot on for the people in the area. You have hefty boisterous guys working the counter, old ladies who speak only Italian walking in, loud middle aged Italian men who sit in there for much longer than they need to. Young "hip Italian-Americans" and then your common, everyday business man who looks like a fish out of water. Worth at least one visit to get the neighborhood feel. read more

We gave this little place a shot for lunch. I'm sooo glad we did. It was outstanding!!! I got the Thanksgiving special (Turkey, dressing, gravy and cranberry)and lentil soup! Absolutely the best!!! read more

When I worked at Regina's I went here every day. It's the North End's best greasy spoon. When I go in and order their Chicken Escarole Soup (THE BEST) I always take delight in hearing the guy at the counter shout "Ma, soup to go!" Where is older parents are working in the back kitchen. They cook to order, which is awesome. If I want a runny egg, thats what I get. When you order chicken salad, they make it fresh right in front of you. This place is also SO cheap! You aren't going to find food for this price any place else. It's excellent. The only gripe is they aren't open on weekends and past four, but maybe that's a good thing because I'd be ordering tater tots well done for dinner every night. read more

Oh hai there little North End deli! I've been here for two years and I didn't see you there! My office moved to this area about two years ago and I have been starved for a little corner deli with a greasy griddle and good breakfast and lunch food. A coworker had the idea to go here today and it was exactly what I have been looking for all this time. Grilled cheeses and sandwiches any way you want; eggplant parm, basic soups of the day (standards like chicken noodle and minestrone) and eggs off the griddle in the morning. Is it fancy? No. But sometimes all you want is a greasy grilled cheese and I finally found a place to give it to me. read more

Place: Conviently located in the North End. Small place seating about 20 people. It closes at 3pm I believe People: If you are coming here for lunch I recommend coming after the lunch crowd, around 1:30 pm. Call in ahead for pickups. The staff is very friendly and they seem to know a lot of their patrons by name. Usually the same people come by everyday for lunch so you get a lot of regulars. Price: AMAZING! On mon., their meatball sub costs 3.75. They have a special for each day of the 5 day week. Steak bomb costs about 7.00 Food: Probably the best thing about this place 2nd to price. Everything I've had there (meatball sub, steak bomb, burger) was delicious. Good proportions and everything is homemade. Be wary if you are watching your cholesterol or diet because their food is greasy, but then again which steak bomb isn't. read more

soup! the chicken salad sandwich is great, especially if you ask for it on a grilled bun. fantastic.

This is a locals spot, nothing fancy but good food and fair prices. Most of the north end an be a tourist trap but if you'd looking for a quick and easy and tasty bite-this is the place read more

Consistent, quality, delicious, cheap. This is my ideal lunch spot. I've never been disappointed with the food or service. It is definitely a local, neighborhood establishment, but show up more than once and you'll start to feel like a local. The chicken parm is awesome (get it with extra sauce if you want more of delicious flavor). read more

I'll basically say ditto to what kitty p.'s boyfirend said. With an emphasis on the afordability and I'd say it's even a step above what you typically find around this area. New Englanders have a bit of a love affair with the roast beef sandwich. There's enough places out there that supposedly specialize in this sandwich. Mangia does the roast beef sandwich a solid. Thin slices stacked thick, nice toasted bun, and whatever else you want on it. The ingredients here, like most places in the North End are fresh and snappy. And yes, the "Mangia Burger", as illustrated on their front window, is a great deal and one tasty burger. Also, check out their daily specials -- they're usually a good combo for a good price and they won't steer you wrong. Chances are, if you're coming here for lunch, the small place is already packed. But the old photos and whatnots that cover the walls are an entertaining diversion as you stand around waiting for your sandwich. If you are lucky enough to get a seat, you'll be able to enjoy eavesdropping on some classic local flavor from the neighborhood. The staff here will know every other person that comes in by name and what their regular lunch is. Nice friendly atmosphere. Come to think of it, I don't come here often enough. read more
