Mangia Qui Italian Bistro

"We ordered takeout here tonight on the recommendation of a friend, and WOW were all the rave reviews right or what! Unbelievably delicious, fresh, carefully prepared and perfectly cooked Italian food. My husband's chicken parm was juicy, crispy, and bounteous. Our daughter wolfed her clams down in 60 seconds flat. My beet & burrata salad was sublime: seasoned just right, not too dressed, tender golden beets dancing with salty prosciutto atop creamy stracciatella, sprinkled with crisp tendrils of arugula and basil. Unreal! Highly recommend, definitely see what the hype is about! Ciao!"

"I had dinner here for the first time tonight. All I can say is don’t let the slightly outdated Italian decor fool you. THIS IS THE SPOT! I had their lasagna for $19 made with beef short rib, and Italian sausage. Every ingredient in this place is so fresh it tastes like it was made fresh per order. It is evident here that the chef and the staff care about what they’re doing. This was less of a dinner, and more of a core memory being made.! If I could give this place six stars I would, if you are in Virginia Beach do yourself a favor and stop in and have the best Italian meal of your life."

"We dined at Mangia Qui recently and it was a great experience. The hostess greeted as soon as we entered. Service was prompt and food was delicious. I ordered the seafood alla vodka, husband ordered the lasagna and my daughter ordered pasta with butter and parmesan cheese. Generous servings of bread! Atmosphere can benefit from a slight update but it was clean and welcoming. They should consider drink options for kids such as milk and lemonade. We went with our 9yr old daughter who doesn't drink soda so her only option was water. Overall we had a positive experience and will return."

"Wonderful Italian food. The chef has been in this area a very long time and prepares all dishes to order. Austin normally waits on us. He remembers us when we come in and that is nice. Atmosphere is fine but if they were to change it up just a little it could go a long way. Pictured is Scallops bruschetta (on special that night) house salad, Caprese salad, Seafood Ala-vodka, and chicken Franchise. Def. Recommend."

"This was my second time here it never disappoints! This time, my fiancé had the Seafood Alla Vodka, which has jumbo shrimp, sea scallops, tomato vodka cream, parmesan, and fresh fettuccine. Price: $29. I had the Tortellini Alla Vodka, which has ricotta cheese tortellini, tomato vodka cream sauce, mozzarella, and parmesan. Price: $18. Both dishes were amazing, but his was definitely better. Go for the Seafood Alla Vodka every time. You will not be disappointed! :-)"
