Reviews for Mangia Bene in Rockville Centre, NY
This was our first time here for lunch and it was very nice. Food was tasty. The baked clams were a favorite. The clams are... fresh but very small (which I don't mind except for being an expensive few bites) and topped with crispy, garlicky bread crumbsand some delicious butter, wine sauce for a little dipping. The rolls they give you when seated are very good and are servedwith a whipped ricotta and olive oil, which was something different and we enjoyed them. The meatballs were also tender and thesauce was very nice too. We were quite full by the time our breaded chicken panini arrived, which we shared and enjoyed butmight try something else next time. Nice ambiance / decor. Service was excellent. Read more
Great place! Met up with some friends and had a phenomenal time accompanied by great service, food and drinks. I was greeted... with a welcoming smile by the staff. The food was so delicious that I forgot to take pictures to post. We sat in the back patioand the server as well as the bartender kept checking up on us making sure we were enjoying our time. This place is a must ifyou're ever in Rockville Centre. Read more

This is a great restaurant with so many amazing dishes. Everything was seasoned very well and had lots of flavor. I was very... happy with every dish that me and my family had. The fresh pasta was amazing!and the Nutella pizza for dessert was one of thebest that we have had. It was such a nice atmosphere as well in the restaurant and the wait staff was so nice.

Finding Mangia Bene is like winning Willy Wonka's golden ticket. This little slice of heaven separates itself from the over... abundance of Italian restaurants through the following key elements: Commitment - every staff member is fully committed toproviding an incredible experience. You can easily tell that the staff love working at Mangia Bene and share a similar passionfor the food. I can’t count how many times I’ve heard a server say, “that dish is incredible” or “I need thattoo” Creativity - I rarely ever frequent Italian restaurants because I often find myself underwhelmed and think I could dobetter in myself. This is so not the case here. Mangia Bene prides itself on elevating classic neighborhood Italian, puttinga little spin on tradition, while honoring the history of a dish. Consistency - you can always count on the dedicatedrestauranteur Maurizio walking the tables to ensure flawless execution not only in the food, but also the experience. Anotherelement of consistency is the incredible service.... I consistently receive the warmest welcome and incredible service. Thereis no fluctuation in the experience. Do yourself a favor: Stop reading this and experience Mangia Bene for yourself. Read more

Was excited to try this place out as I had heard great things and it did not disappoint! The drinks recommended by the server... were delicious and unique. The appetizers came out quick, were hot and tasted great. The pizza was crispy, packed full ofmouthwatering toppings and the perfect sharing size. The pasta and entrees were cooked to perfection (I love al dente pasta).The stuffed pork chop was so flavorful and very tender. Once dessert came I was so stuffed but the cheesecake looked soappetizing I needed to try it and am so glad I did! Beautifully creamy and rich with a lovely drizzle sauce on top. Theenvironment and feel of the place is great, and employees were attentive without being overbearing and the owner was by severaltimes making sure every course was exactly what we wanted. Read more
