Had a great take out dinner a few nights ago.. its now Friday night 9:15 and my sweet tooth was yearning for your dessert was insane...so I called for a pick up of a salad and a few deserts (super easy). They wouldn't take my order... sorry we're closing. now I understand you're prob closing earlier because of the pandemic, I respect that...but the restaurant business needs all the support they can get, don't they? I would have tipped large.. $20 to help..but nope... super sad

Our favourite Italian place! Fantastic food, incredible service every time, and a wonderful team who is clearly passionate about the food they make. The veal is always exceptionally tender and flavourful, their risotto is amazing, and the crust that they get on their fish is perfect every time. Make sure to have their carpaccio & inslata mista (their garnish choices elevate both dishes and make them the perfect appetizer!) You can’t go wrong with any of their desserts, but opting for creme brûlée with a cappuccino will put you in a good mood. This place always makes my husband and I feel like we’re back in Italy again! Love it

Rachel Howard

Everything I've had here is amazing. The service is perfect. What better Italian food can you find? I highly recommend the beef carpaccio - best anywhere, and the browned butter and sage ravioli. It's always as good or better than I remember it.

Heather Paull

I love the food

Jérôme Decq

Except for excessively salted soup, food was delicious

Marco Di Stefano

(Translated) A small corner of Italy where you "Eat and Drink" .... divinely !!! We will meet again soon. (Original) Un piccolo angolo di Italia dove si "Mangia e Bevi".... divinamente!!! Ci rivedremo presto.

Peter Nieforth

The best Carpaccio Cremoso I believe in the city! The main course hasn't even arrived yet. Staff is wonderful and friendly and very accommodating. Squeezed me in on a Saturday night at 7 pm....enjoy! Thanks guys...

michelle gao

Really delicious food and a great wine selection. I love their pastas, especially the ravioli.

Beautiful quality and service at this family-run West Van gem!

KI HYUN SONG

Excellent experience! Food was delicious!

Shawhin Kanai

Always have had a good experience when dining here. It’s a great Italian restaurant in West Vancouver, I had amazing food and wine selection. The only thing is that the service can be slow at times, other then that, would recommend.

Alex Montoya

Best Cesar Salad

Brendan Jones

Carpaccio is a must try

jay fiera

Nice setting and pretty good food. Quality was a little down from last visit but still great. Really nice wine selection.

Tara Elizabeth

Delicious choices on their classic Italian menu...so hard to choose as I wanted it all. Covid measures in place left us feeling safe, great service. We thoroughly enjoyed our dining out experience. We will be back.

D. James C.

way too many people serving, confused wait staff

Peter Jokan

This restaurant already had a great reputation but we never tried that until last weekend. The atmosphere of the restaurant is very nice... elegant and quiet. The service is fast, focused and the stuff members are very polite. The food is extraordinary, amazingly detailed until the last bite. The taste of the food was above and beyond of my expectations. I have to come back to try more from the menu.

Martin R

The staff are amazing

William Cawker

Best Italian Restaurant on the North Shore. One of the best in Metro Vancouver. Consistently excellent quality. Great wine list and dessert. Fabulous halibut, Cornish game hen , beef tenderloin and pastas.

M. Herrn

Perfect! Any stomach will be happy here

Edward Piers

The service and dishes was great, we spent quite some time there a bunch of us, - suppose that reflected on the bill later. Will return to try again.

Kourosh Z

This place was magical! The Best Italian restaurant I have ever been to! the service and waitress was amazing! Friendly and warm the food was AMAZING! 100% recommend it to everyone

Miles Vince

Amazing food, comfortable and great staff. Top italian on the north Shore.

Ahmed Elashry

Wonderful dining experience. Delicious food and super attentive staff.

schyler ed

The Best Food and Service. Everything you want from a dining experience is here: Amazing attentive and professional staff (Michael was wonderful to us), beautiful terrace in the shade surrounded by grape vines, outstanding food (the Stuzzichino Mangia E Bevi and Ravioli Ai Funghi E Salvia were beyond incredible), lovely well-priced wine and drink lists, and overall a beautiful, relaxing, authentic atmosphere. This is the best Italian in Vancouver, perfect for a romantic date night, getting family together, or enjoying life solo, I recommend this restaurant to everyone.

Grant Parker

Had the Halibut done to perfection, wife had the Ravioli Ai Funghi E Salvia thumbs up ???? nice atmosphere efficient and friendly staff Will! visit again.

Davis Kosowan

Always excellent. Our last visit was for our anniversary and the staff made it special. The food is always delicious, the service is excellent. We all appreciated the detail & professionalism of the staff. The best beef carpaccio can be found here. They have a great selection of fairly priced & delicious Tuscan wines as well!

David Stewart

We always have great food and service here

scott c

Amazing food and service

Red Murphy

Wonderful service, perfect food, what else to say?

Rachel MacNaught

For the first time in many years I went somewhere else for a special occasion and in doing so I have walked away with an even deeper appreciation for Mangia E Bevi. From the truffle ravioli to the elegant, kind servers to the peaceful dining ambiance, Mangia E Bevi deserves more clout.

Terri-Lynn Switzer

Amazing food and our waiter gave us great recommendations. Had the calamari which is the freshest I have ever had. Nice place to go for a romantic dinner. Will like to try the patio in the summer.

John D

Great place, glad we found this gem, clients loved the evening.

North Shore Eater

Went to Mange last night and due to the restrictions we had a patio seat. The covered patio is nice and warm and very comfortable. Had an exceptional meal as usual with a great wine. Gordon our server was extremely attentive as always. Highly recommend this restaurant. Had the Spaghetti with Bolognese sauce and the Spaghetti Deliziosi with added Arugula. Yummy.

Danny Bresciani

Awesome food

Mark Getrow

Marvelous place, heavenly food. And the service, no, The Service!!! Kevin (and everyone else) was more than helpful and attentive to the last detail. Gracie!!

Matt Gul

great restaurant

Lyndell Skews

What an absolutely enjoyable evening! Service and meals were exceptional. Thanks Doug for the wine recommendation. Perfect pairing. We both had pastas and butter lettuce salad with warm goats cheese. Everything was perfection. The salted caramel ice cream was a perfect end. Will be back soon.

Henry Bang

Upscaled Italian cuisine. They know Italian food. Period.

David Cushenan

Thank you very much for a wonderful dinner. I took my wife and mother in law here as a last minute dinner choice. What a pleasant surprise as I was in the area and we do not regret it. We had the lamb, ravioli, and the spicy Roberto pasta. The waiter was fantastic, attentive and helped us decide. This was the best pasta ???? thank-you we will be back for more

Tazmin Mitha

Enjoyed a lovely and special birthday dinner here. Food was outstanding and the service was exceptional.

Oliver Aguero

Absolute best Italian fine dining experience I've had in Vancouver. The food is consistently delicious, the service is impecable and inviting. Very authentic Italian atmosphere. MUST try the calamari and beef carpaccio!! This time I had some gorgeous ravioli and a glazed pork chop that was unreal. To die for... Doug Grisdale is a marvelous head host and a pleasure to talk with. Magnifico ????

Sara Pedlow

Mangia is our go-to for special occasions with the family on the North Shore. Their pasta always tastes so fresh and the service and atmosphere are excellent. The Tartufate pasta is no longer on the menu but we often still order it as a side to share because it is so good (rich, creamy truffle deliciousness). They also have a pasta special month which is a great time to go try different items from the menu for less. Even the candy on offer as you exit is fantastic.

Aaron Kaiway

Friendly wait staff and delicious fine dining Italian food. Try the mushroom ravioli!

Stan Shaw

A wonderful fine dining experience. Service, food and great wine menu made for a very memorable meal.

Jason Walsh (Golden Gecko)

Amazing food on a beautiful Terrace with great service. Also a great vino selection

taraneh lajevardi

Great food, atmosphere and awesome staff....

Maureen Coles

We'd heard such wonderful things about this restaurant that we saved it for a special occasion. Made reservations for a special anniversary, told hostess on phone this and wanted a window seat. Got there 5 min early said we had reservations, reply was "sit wherever you want". No mention through whole evening of thanks you for coming on special night . They obviously missed that even when I said to server, it's our anniversary. Chef came around and spoke to every table but us! Guess we should have worn sweat suits and flip flops too. I honestly cant remember the food, not amazing as I was expecting. When we celebrate a special event we go to a special restaurant. This one will not be on our return list, even though it's right around the corner. Would have enjoyed the food and friendly service at the sister restaurant across the street better!

L N

Love this place. Mushroom risotto sides for cheap. Amazing

Charline Paull

Very nice area great service good food yum

Jia Liu

Amazing customer service and great food! The staff are very accommodating, especially for food allergies. They were helpful and made sure my seat was away from other diners who had ordered food I'm allergic to (I'm very sensitive to the smell as well). I really appreciated this :) I had the beef tenderloin with blue cheese-cream (Filetto Ai Formaggio Blu). I must say this is one of the few restaurants that I've encountered that actually does a medium rare well! I was very happy that it wasn't over-cooked and the transition from seared outside to lightly brown inside was smooth. Another point I love about this place is that you can order dishes that are off the menu as long as they have the ingredients, since they make their food from scratch. I asked for a carbonera simply because I craved one and they made it for me! Overall great experience and will come again. Thank you!

Nick Harris

Very good antipasti and pasta dishes. Only disappointment is that pasta is not fresh (except the ravioli).

Aileen McManamon

The best of the best. Our first trip back and amazing as always. Stellar food,stellar service.

Anton North

Our server was excellent, friendly and personable. A very cozy place for a nice dinner. The food was excellent as well.

Ann Green

Best patio in West Vancouver!

Felipe Freig

This place is soooo good! Great cooks and great service ????????.

Ana Agner

Bad service and food. I don't know how it has 5 stars from many people (probably the owners) but this is not good. We went for dinner with our kids and they treated us like they were doing a favor. Again... food is not good. We all felt sick in the day after. Try the cactus on the mall, or the one on the dubdarave beach.

Mara Woolf

Thoughtful, attentive service and fantastic food in a nice, quiet setting. Appetizers, special, pasta and dessert were all top notch. Sweet conversations with lovely staff. Thank you for making our last dine out pre Baby such a memorable experience.

Mark P

Delicious food. A little bit slow with the service but not terrible

Alyssa G

Creative Italian cuisine that leaves you wanting more. Lots of sustainable seafood options and a fantastic wine list that left me a little breathless.

Dhana Musil

Such a wonderful dining experience. 5 stars all around. Ricardo was our server and we just loved it all so much. This is definitely going to be our new go-to spot!

Gene Teichroeb

Pretty good. Patio was beautiful on a warm spring day.

John Stackhouse

This is a superb restaurant, and overlooked especially for lunch. Wonderfully traditional high-quality Italian fare (red and white sauces both featured), served in a delightfully quiet atmosphere by attentive staff. Recent triumphs include caesar salad, fettuccine alfredo, chicken in a creamy mushroom sauce--utterly ordinary menu items rendered exquisitely well. (I swear they must put opium into their sauces....) Wine list just the right size, and the Italian white suggested by the waiter was perfect for this meal: minerality cut gently through all that sauce.... If you want a civilized change from the earls/Cactus Club din, with wait staff who don't dress like call girls, take a walk on the calm side and get to Mangia e Bevi.

Glenn Weston

Simply the best Italian restaurant on the North Shore in my opinion. Consistently excellent food, presentation and service. Now even better with the new patio fencing.

Q G

Had thier special pasta dish last night, out of this world! Great to see a local restaurant trying so hard in these difficult times, they deserve everyone's support.

(Translated) The best Italian food ever tasted in Metro Vancouver! The food is authentic and creative, the service is warm and attentive, and the environment is beautiful and comfortable. You must come often!! (Original) 大温地区尝过的最佳意大利餐!食物正宗又有创意，服务温暖贴心，环境优美惬意，必须经常来!!

Murray Downie

Food was excellent. Server was a bit confused when it came to the person that ordered the wine should be the one tasting it.

M S

Fantastic food and staff.

Declan Sacre

Great food, very reasonable prices, and friendly and responsive staff.

Carmen Forde

THE BEST calamari I've ever had! I've never been a calamari fan, but the calamari at Mangia E Bevi might have converted me. ;) Fabulous service and food. We'll definitely be back.

Alison Koch

Always excellent!

Nikki Cha

Incredible Italian food. Great flavors and well priced for the service and quality.

Kyra Palyska

Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Food was delicious, presentation was beautiful.

Mary Belding

Great food and great service

Frank Capistrano

as usual excellent food and enjoyed the service; one of the owners was serving our food.

Lacey Richards

The quality of food has been in decline over the last couple of years. Recently I noticed very dirty, dusty windows, it was kind of gross. We were sat at a table with a stained tablecloth and my pasta dish had some kind of thickening agent added to it (cornstarch maybe?) To be honest my pasta dish was so gross I couldn't finish it. It's never a good sign when a restaurant puts their tomatoes in the refrigerator and mangia e bevi just started about a year ago. It's a shame, it used to be my favourite in the neighbourhood.

Nelson Chey

Excellent food, good service and beautiful ambience. Worthwhile for many returns !

Maria Lam

We have a farther day dinner her tonight. We order a mussels, the Lamb rack, two different pasta and a fish. All are excellent. Highly recommend.

Liz Badduke

Amazing food and service!

Zayn Jinah

Simply amazing. Al dente to perfection and fresh and delicious. Tiramisu = ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Ian Howard

Had dinner for 4 on the 30th. Was aware of ninety minute limit. With 7 minutes to go a check was brought to our table and told that it was not possible to order desert. The bill was just under $300. A heads up on the time would have been appreciated. There was no-one waiting and there were vacant tables.

Steven Forsyth

Great food. Good location and friendly helpful staff.

Hong Trieu

I was not satisfied with the service, the gentleman server was not attentive to our table. The patio table was not sturdy so it would wobble from time to time. As for the food, I had ordered the fish entree dish and it was too salty. Although I have to say that the scenery from the patio was very nice.

Duncan Schofield

Overbearing waiter assumed (wrongly) we needed a lesson on wines. Very poor flat and cold ravioli swimming in thin and tasteless truffle sauce. Overpriced and disappointing experience.

Robert Fawcett

Excellent meal once again on Monday night. Service along with the Halibut and veal outstanding. One of the best 5 restaurants on the North Shore.

Martin Durlak

Excellent authentic food

Conor Davey

Catered for orders not even on the menu. Very attentive servers and authentic italian food

Amal Souraya

I was not impressed with the price..expensive..service not so great. And food was the cheapest amount of seafood for a 30 dollar plate i have ever seen..maybe the size of a toonie..RIP off

Gervase Bushe

This used to be our favorite Italian restaurant on the North Shore but our last visit. The waiter was sub par. He was either too present or too absent, forgot to bring us bread, brought out my wife's entree cold . Too bad, it's a nice spot with an excellent wine list.

FA

Average food and pricey$$$$

Rina Larabie

Had a wonderful dinner here last week and would highly recommend this restaurant for those looking for a romantic and delicious dine out experience in West Vancouver. I called early in the day and left my call back number. They returned my call less than an your later and were able to book at table for two the same day, a quite Wednesday in January. We found free street parking nearby and were seated promptly at a nice table separated by shoji screens from other diners . During Covid times, this is much nicer than a plastic wall between the tables. They offered tap or sparkling water and brought sliced homemade focaccia with oil/balsamic to start while we perused the extensive and creative menu. Our menu selections included Crostata Di Pere E Fromaggio Blu. Warm, flavourful pear and blue cheese gently melted on puff pastry. I could have eaten the whole thing myself. Next was the Caprese Di Burrata. Soft and delicious homemade mozzarella with heirloom tomato and a fresh sprig of basil with olive oil. It tasted like summer on a plate! Our pasta choice was Spaghetti Deliziosi with pesto, asparagus, oven dried tomato (which I like so much more than sun-dried tomato), walnuts and pine nuts. Just the right amount to share. Our Secondi Piatti was Anatra Farcita Al Frangelico: boar bacon wrapped duck breast stuffed with roasted chestnut, apple and celeriac, topped with Frangelico sauce. I've never liked duck breast until now. It's usually too heavy for me but this was beautifully prepared and just the right amount to be satisfying with a side of grilled seasonal veggies. Boar bacon should be the new bacon! Dessert? Yes, of course! Torte A Limone E Pinole; lemon zabaione tart with pine nut crust. Just sweet enough to cleanse the palate and a generous dollop of crema fresca on top. Big enough to share had he had any room left. I always have room for lemon... My companion enjoyed a house wine Chianti and they even had a Moscato that wasn't on the list for me which made my day! We lingered over 2 hours and enjoyed every morsel on our plates. I didn't see the bill because he was treating but he said it was worth it for the quality of the meal and variety of tastes on our plates. Call ahead for reservations or enjoy your meal at home with their take away selections.

Eric Westra

Really fine service. Good food, but some dishes better than others. Kitchen mostly consistent.

Priscilla Singh

Wow the food was amazing ????. I would definitely go again for a special occasion, as a little pricey for regular dinner outing. Service was great too. I had the ravioli with mushrooms and truffle oil and reccomend this even if you are not a vegetarian. Shared dessert and the creme brulee was smooth made from scratch not powder like other places. It is a place to enjoy.

Scott MacKenzie

Stopped in for an early Sunday dinner. The service was excellent, and our meals were outstanding. The portions were large and nicely presented. Our server Michael was super friendly and efficient. We will be back!

Gordon Kwong

Nice cozy atmosphere, great service and very good fresh pasta creations. Fruitti de Mare pasta with black cod and seafood was great.

Jerry Doveren

Dine in

Ronnie

Yummy food great italian selection

Madison

Unreal food. Amazing atmosphere, especially their new patio!

Andre GRENIER

Had an awesome experience my waiter was so friendly and kind made me feel very very special I do recommend it I live in Hope and I would do the trip again to go eat there

Daniel Castrell

I would rate this place 10/10. Best Italian joint I have been to in West Vancouver & possibly the best in the Lower mainland.

K. Martin

Pretty good. Servive great and good Italian food.

Navid Hanachi

Appetizers and Desserts are very tasty. Main course quality is average (or less than average if you order Strozzapretti Roberto; too salty.. ). Great service and lovely ambiance! Overall it is a nice place but you won't be amazed by the food. Suggestion: For daily specials, it's good to give people a menu so they can see their options as well as the prices.. This does not work verbally. People want to know how much they would have to pay for a daily special item too !

Steve Parker

Great food and service. Their patio in summer is a wonderful spot to enjoy a meal.

Alex Saloutos

A delightful experience. Small locally-owned Italian restaurant. Service was friendly, but extremely knowledgeable and impeccable. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavors.

Robert English

A great dining experience with excellent service. Dine here!!

Nick Pena-Alvarez

Altaf Nazerali

Excellent food and service.

Maddie Klassen

Every time we dine there, the food and the service are excellent. I am compelled to write this review, because the last time we were there, everything was even more outstanding: including our waiter (Michael), who made some excellent recommendations. This place never disappoints!
