Absolutely loved my experience here! The Italian food was delicious, and the Pollo Parmesano was outstanding--crispy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked with a delicious sauce and melted cheese. I paired it with the house red wine, which was a great complement to the meal. The food, atmosphere, and overall experience were excellent. Everything felt fresh and well prepared, and the service made the evening even better. Definitely a place I'd happily come back to and recommend to anyone looking for a great Italian meal! read more

I absolutely love this restaurant when I came to Key West! It quite hidden and not on Duval Street. I did enjoyed the bread that they gave us and they were very delicious. I got the chicken marsala with Alfredo pasta. I thought it was absolutely delicious. I enjoyed my meal. I topped it off with a tiramisu, and that was very delicious as well. Our server was wonderful. It is not that big of a restaurant so I recommend booking ahead of time if they take reservations. Otherwise definitely stop by when you're in Key West. read more

We had a great experience at Mangia Mangia. It is in quieter area and the interior is simple and welcoming. Our table got complimentary bread which was fresh and paired well with the EVOO and balsamic vinegarette. I ordered the grilled chicken which was perfectly seasoned. The pasta with mariana as a side was great too, especially with the table's parmesan. For dessert, my wife and I split a tiramisu which was a great end to a great meal. The staff was friendly too. Highly recommend! read more

Sooo good! Only complaint is it's not very "fancy" inside for the prices. Would've liked a tad better ambiance. But the pasta was delicious! Music was nice too, 80's-90's. Would recommend! read more

Delicious dinner! It does get pretty busy- not sure if it was just because of race weekend and everyone carb loading but the line started 35min before opening. Luckily we were seated right away. Service was very friendly and fast. Our server was super nice and knowledgeable about the menu. She helped me modify grilled chicken and gf (rice based) pasta with only olive oil which turned out perfect. My husband loved how juicy and flaky his Mahi was. Over all delicious and highly recommend for diets of all kinds! read more

The only reason I'm sad to be leaving Key West is this pasta and the carprese!!!! We went back 3 separate times to get the exact same thing- the staff was super friendly and accommodating! For gluten free people this is a must (my husband is not gf and agreed it's that good) Great date night spot! read more

This place was unbelievable. I've been wanting to go here for years so we went. Everything is basically homemade pasta was excellent service was above par. The ambience is real Italian and so are the cooks and everyone else I highly recommend this on your Key West visit but get there early. The pasta runs out. You've gotta select something different. The spinach fettuccine Alfredo with blackfin crab was a prize dish and highly recommended. Just like mom made. Mangia to the people! read more

The best pasta and most tasty flavors. EVERYTHING made in the restaurant and all the seafood locally sourced. Portions are larger than you'd expect. The most authentic Italian food you'll find in all of USA cities we traveled, and we've seen a few. Key West was worth of visit just for this experience! The food was so great no one took pictures. We were too busy enjoying the flavors as one should. read more

Food ambience and service is exceptional. No reservations except large groups. Get there early!!! They make their own pasta." But you can get anything on a salad. Off the trail but very busy. read more

Ate here for the first time tonight and the food was excellent! We were sat right away. The service was great, food came out fast, portions were generous, and everything was delicious! I had the pollo masala and it was so rich and fresh. I will definitely come here again! read more

amazing. pasta was fresh and the scallops were so buttery and light. I will definitely come back my next trip to the keys.

Tucked into a nice neighborhood, this place was a complete surprise to my wife and I as we were having a drink and overheard someone raving about it. Not being one to pass up a good restaurant, we walked about 25 minutes from our hotel near the southernmost bouy marker to one of the best Italian places I've even been to. My wife's entree - Funghi al pomodori, spinaci, e ceci - was simply one of the top restaurant Italian dishes either of us ever tasted. My wife is vegetarian and this dish was too. Amazing. My spaghettini alla carbonara which I added chicken was also excellent. There's plenty of seafood pasta entrees to choose from as well of course. We ended by sharing a slice of the best key lime pie on Key West. Highly recommended. read more

The pricing was reasonable for this market, and it was nice to be on a patio away from Duval Street where we could have a quiet romantic dinner. The service was excellent, and they were quite helpful with my wife's special request for alterations to her dish. Surprisingly they also reduced the price because the substitution was less expensive! For me the star of the evening was their pasta with pesto and chicken. The chicken was well-prepared and the pesto was probably the best I have tasted -extremely rich and hearty but not in a way that was uncharacteristic of pesto. If we lived here, we would probably dine with them a couple times a month. We were here for 4 days and this was my favorite meal by a significant margin! read more

Service was superb. Ambiance great. Food portions were minimal but tasted good. I would easily come here again.

Still dreaming of the home made rigatoni with the creamy pesto. Simple place and menu, but in the best way. Ordered the meatballs as well which were made extremely well. Bottles of wine are very affordable as well. Service was very slow, and it really wasn't that crowded. read more

Came across this place by luck. It's a mix of I want to be an old type fancy with a I'm a mom's pizza parlor all in one. Service was great didn't feel rushed, although they did say it does get really busy. The homemade pasta was amazing, everything thing we had was great, including the bottle of wine. We were there during slow season. So if you do come during peak grab a drink and enjoy the entire experience from waiting outside to dining. read more

The food was AMAZING! My very picky husband gave it a 9/10 where my Gluten free friend said it was the best sauce she'd ever had and the GF pasta noodles amazing! Very limited inside seating but a huge outside area! They open at 5:30 and only take reservations for large groups so get there early! We will definitely be back! read more

We had to wait about 30 minutes for a table. We were lucky that we got an outside table. It was totally worth the wait! The service was fantastic and the food was excellent. We all had pasta in our group. 2 of us had the chicken piccata with fettuccine Alfredo. Amazing! The other two people had red sauce, dishes that they very much enjoyed. We ordered the Keylime pie for dessert. I highly recommend! read more

Mangia Mangia Pasta Cafe - Key Lime Pie- it was excellent and perfectly tart. I wish it didn't have so much canned whipped cream on the top to distract. - Italian Near Me - Key West, Florida

I've visited Key West several times and this was my first visit to Mangia Mangia. In the past, the wait to get in was too long but this time I arrived as the place first opened at 5:30. I'm glad I didn't have to wait. I feel as if the pasta was overcooked, especially as it is home made daily. The hostess lacks personality and sauce was average. The bruschetta appetizer was outstanding however. I would however give the place a 2nd chance. read more

Mangia Mangia Pasta Cafe - mixed seafood pasta - Italian Near Me - Key West, Florida

We had dinner outside, pleasant enough but IMO not worth the price vs the portion. Don't get me wrong, my meal was good but felt that the amount for shallow dish was lacking for just pasta. I'm not a big guy but one shouldn't leave hungry from a pasta restaurant. The pesto with pine nuts and walnut was very good and not overly salty at all which can be an issue in some places. It was obviously made on location and not jarred. On the other hand, my wife's carbonara was plentiful served in a deep bowl, and seemed (I didn't taste it) delicious but her take was that our home-made carbonara was better. Her chief observation was that the sauce was bland and that the pasta stuck together. I wanted to try this place because the reviews were good and told of long lines to get in and plentiful plates. I experienced neither but good enough, thus the three star rating. Yes, I will try it again and see if it can be better than "megh~~~" read more

I would liked to have written terrific a review about a great dinner- We left after waiting for over an hour once our order was taken. The server apologized for the kitchen on two occasions as we waited, offering a free round of drinks. Note: We had also waited an hour outside just to get the table...which we were happy to do given that it was MLK weekend and Key West is busy! I hear the food is great. Would have liked to have posted a great review of it. read more

Set apart from the crazy busy streets in a quiet neighborhood. Super cute environment, staff was very kind and food was fast and fresh. My husband had the New Zealand clam pasta and I had the gf pasta with meat sauce. We really enjoyed our time and the food. read more

A little away from Duval but worth the walk. I got sea scallops with creamy marinara and spinach fettuccine which was good but would have been better if it was hot but I ate it all. My son got pappardella with shrimp in creamy marinara his was lukewarm but he enjoyed it. Definitely a good place to go for pasta. Also my espresso was delicious. Seating inside and out. we sat indoors cuz it was cold in key west that day. Staff was very friendly read more

Splendid service! The water and drinks were timely and yummy. The pasta and bread is really the go to here. The food tastes very fresh, but could definitely use some seasoning or marinade. The ambiance is homey and welcoming. A nice mom and pop spot in key west. read more

Really tasty Italian food a few blocks off of the main drag. The SCHMAPPELLINI with asparagus was terrific as were the mussels. Great bread. The dishes are maybe a little too light on salt but fresh and filling. Good place to get away from the madness. read more

It's ok. Second time being there. Not much flavor. The one Duval are much better. LaTrattoria was much better. more authentic with a lot more flavor. More romantic atmosphere. read more

Was good - would do 3.5 if possible. Patio was nice - cozy, good lighting. Ambiance would be 4 - food 3.5 - nothing wrong with food - good not great. Fettuccine alfredo needed seasoning, salt and chicken tough. Good garlic bread. Misto de Mar had lots of seafood and very brothy - good. Honemade pasta was good, service was ok. One of those - this was good - probably would try somewhere else next time. But was pleased to find street parking within a block and seated right away on Tuesday night at 8p. read more

Absolutely wonderful dining experience. The best food we had in all of Key West. We loved how it's tucked away in a quiet neighborhood but still easy to access from anywhere in Key West. I had the raviolis with "pink sauce"- delicious and my partner, the seafood pasta- also delicious. We were floored with the food, homemade pasta, kind server who gave us great suggestions and the beautiful ambience of the place. Eating outside was so lovely- cute lights and plants and felt very upscale. We will come here every time we're in Key West for sure. read more

As a person who cannot eat wheat, Mangia Mangia is a great find! I have had one or two gluten free pastas that are better, but none offered a chicken parm coated in rice flour, not wheat flour. What a treat! We went at 5:30 on a Sunday, and were seated right away. Wine was great, service was lovely, great dinner overall. If you are celiac, they ask, I am not, so I'm not sure what they would have done differently had I answered yes. But they accommodated my wheat allergy beautifully. read more
