Mangia Bene Ristorante

Highly recommended! Excellent service, food was delicious and fresh. We definitely love coming here🥰

The food wasn’t good, and the atmosphere wasn’t comfortable neither good. The restaurant isn’t clean and everything was sticky. The cooks were nice, but the cashier/owner wasn’t friendly. They overcharged us for a custom panini $25 for a panini? when we get a way better panini at the original la bottegas minus 6 dollars and the quality was really bad. We came here for the original la bottega reputation. We found out that they weren’t the same. The La Bottegas chain has much better food in my opinion. The food didn’t sit well— my stomach didn’t feel good afterwards. I won’t be coming back.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Mangia Bene for the second time in the last four years, and let me tell you, it was definitely worth the wait! The pizza was fantastic – the crust was perfectly thin, and it wasn’t too hot to the point of burning my mouth, just the right temperature. I topped it off with some garlic and cheese, which really brought everything together. Very filling and satisfying! There was a bit of a line with students on their lunch break, but despite the crowd, I was able to get my food quickly and be in and out with no hassle. Most of the traffic comes from the nearby students, so if you’re driving, finding parking is not an issue at all – plenty of spots around. Also, don’t skip the garlic knots! They’re amazing, especially when you add a side of marinara sauce

My daughter & I have been coming here for years. Exceptional food! The employees are so warm & treat customers like family. Very clean environment & high quality ingredients. This restaurant is a hidden gem in Great Neck. I particularly love the salads, paninis, and pasta. Highly recommend!!

Been visiting this local neighborhood slice shop for years. Owner is always on site during weekday lunch hours. I always order the Fusili Calbrese pasta to share with my wife. The pizza is always good. Pasta is mostly good, but can be somewhat inconsistent depending on who is cooking that day. Today was very good. If you are in a rush, just be aware that during the school year, between the hours of 1130am-1230pm, there will be a line and crowd of high school students packing the resturant to get lunch. Kids can be a little rude and space inside the resturant will be crowded. But outside of that lunch time rush, it's much more pleasant. They so have seating outside on the side of the restaurant. Free street parking is abundant and there is also a lot across the street for additional parking
