Mangia e Bevi - (Near Oceanside, CA)

3 /5 William A.: ⭐️⭐️⭐️☆☆ — Delicious food, but portions felt small I ordered from this Italian restaurant through Uber Eats and was really impressed with how tasty everything was. The flavors were rich, well-balanced, and clearly made with care. The food arrived well-packaged and still warm, which I appreciated. However, I was a bit disappointed with the portion sizes. For the price, I was hoping for something more filling. By the time I finished my meal, I didn’t feel satisfied and found myself looking for more food afterward. It was frustrating because the quality is definitely there—I just wish the servings matched the cost. Overall, the food is excellent, and I’d happily order again if the portions were a bit more generous.

5 /5 Alyson Courtney: WOW! We usually go to Carlsbad Village when we want Italian, but last night we wanted to stick around closer to our house. We randomly found this place, and it was only a five minute drive away. We had the best date night! The food was absolutely incredible and you could tell it was very authentic Italian. Our waitress was great!! We ordered the burrata as an appetizer and it was amazing! I wish I could bottle up the olive oil. My husband got the risotto and I got the PACCHERI ALLA NORCINA. Both were incredibly delicious. Best Italian meal I think I’ve ever had. My only very very small suggestion would be to make the music louder to create more of an ambiance. I can’t wait to go back to try their woodfired pizzas and salads! Also, my husband ordered a beer and I had wine - both were delicious. Definitely a hidden gem in Oceanside. 10 out of 10. We will tell all of our friends and family to come here. We loved it!! Thank you so much for a wonderful dinner!

5 /5 Yoli M: Great place! Not a very big place so you should reserve ahead of time. Food and service was amazing! Pizza is delicious! Great wine selection and other beverages! Loved this place! Highly recommend!

5 /5 Michelle King: An amazing little restaurant in the most unassuming strip mall. Ive been twice already and both times have had the most delicious food and great service. The first time I came with friends on a beautiful day so we all sat on the patio and the second time with my husband on a quiet weekday night. Prices are a little high, however, the quality of the food reflects this. Everything is fresh and flavorful. Plate sizes are just right for the pasta and entrees, they offer a good selection of small plates, amazing pizzas baked in the oven at the front of the restaurant, small desserts to add just the right amount of sweetness after a meal, and a large wine list. The atmosphere is modern but relaxed and the staff are warm and welcoming. This is my new favorite place for Italian food in San Diego.
