Mangia Qui Italian Bistro

First of all and most importantly, this should be your go to for authentic Italian dishes!! There was a birthday dinner our group put together on a Sunday in July. The reservation process went so smoothly. It made my heart happy. Everything about the experience was amazing. From the excellent staff to the delicious food. Please, if you desire a great meal and awesome atmosphere, Mangia Qui(Eat here), is the place.

I've been searching for a great Italian restaurant in the area for a while and today was a great day. We happened upon it and we were well pleased. Great location and easy access. We didn't make reservations but a table was available and it wasn't super busy for a Saturday. The waiter was ok and the atmosphere is very nice. Not crowded but quaint. This visit, only tried the seafood alla vodka dish $$ and the sweet tea and I did enjoy both. I will return.

The food at Mangia Qui is outstanding!!! When the dishes served are this amazing, nothing else matters. They stay fairly busy, reservations are recommended. Sometimes they are so busy the wait staff cannot keep up. So have patience because it is worth the wait. We LOVE everything on the menu!!
They are not located in a typical location. But are easily accessible from Independence Blvd only blocks from Pembroke Mall. Yes, if you haven't gone this is a must try if you like Italian.

Amazing!!! Literally the BEST restaurant I have been to in VB/Norfolk. I got the Seafood alla Vodka and my boyfriend got the special. We were both amazed out how fresh and tasty everything was. We then got the tiramisu as a dessert, and it was to die for. Our server was also very attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. We will definitely be coming back soon- I can’t recommend this place enough!

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! :-)
