Mangia E Bevi is an absolute gem for Italian cuisine! Every dish we tried was a testament to their commitment to quality and flavor. The calamari was perfectly cooked—crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and paired with a zesty dipping sauce that elevated it to the next level. The pear and blue cheese tart was a delightful surprise, striking a perfect balance between the sweetness of the pear and the tangy, creamy richness of the blue cheese. It was beautifully presented and an absolute must-try for anyone visiting. The ambiance was warm and inviting, and the staff were attentive and friendly, adding to an already wonderful dining experience. I can’t wait to return and explore more of their menu. Highly recommend!

Blown away by the food and service. I’ve lived in West Van for the majority of my life and today was my first time. And I will be back again and again. Calamari fritti was fresh, light and airy and came pretty quickly. The focaccia was so soft and chewy and supple, we ended up ordering a second serving (it’s small, only 4 slices, so we didn’t feel too guilty). Pasta was fresh (we ordered the veal meatballs and the sauce had bone marrow in it and the shaved tenderloin pasta dish) and offerings were unique to what were typically used to at an Italian restaurant. Service was top notch. Tables cloths and cloth napkins kind of place — anyone under age 49 there I’d consider to be young :) Will be back!

The dishes we ordered were blowing minds away. For the starters, the mussels and raw beef were so tender and juicy. For entrees, we ordered lamb, cod, pasta that are all well cooked and delicious. We ordered pudding for dessert which is also outstanding. The service was perfect! This one is such a gem in West Van. We often go to Beach House. To be honest, the dishes here are beyond my imagination.

This is a lovely restaurant filled with elders. While the servers were friendly and the overall vibe really soothing, the food was really salty. We asked for low sodium, but the sauces still came out too salty.

Vibes: - A lot of seniors in the restaurant - good service: got our appetizer order wrong but nicely corrected it after serving the wrong dish Food: Appetizer was insanely salty, not very flavorful aside from salt. We asked our server to tell chef to keep the pastas low sodium, but my boar meat sauce pasta was still very salty; besides sour and salty, the flavor profile is extremely bland and flat. Several strands were completely stuck together. Also chewed on sand or something (probably the spinach base…) The black cod tagliatini was nice and flavorful though - would recommend. The chicken/sausage orecchiette relied much on the sausage pieces. Looks like one of the nicer restaurants in West Van, but overall would not recommend at least the dishes I got (veal meatballs and boar meat sauce tagliatelle). I HAD A WONDERFUL TIME WITH THE PEOPLE I WENT WITH THO! ❤️

Love this place! Price is high but I felt like I got what I paid for. The rack of lamb, scallop potatoes and the vegetables were great! My date had the mushroom pasta with veal, that was equally amazing. Can not wait to go back again, was recommended by a great co-worker that I work with

Everything is perfect here! A must try! We sit outside in its garden, very cozy environment with a beautiful fig tree. The fig pudding is warm topped with gelato, one of the best dessert I have ever had! Frito Misto is deep fried calamari, shrimp and crab cake, they’re so crispy outside and tender inside, so good! Brianna served us, she’s so good, she always come at the right time, so patient and so sweet!

Italian food done right, with a great wine selection. The food was delicious, but I wish the portion was a little more generous. Service was friendly but on the slow side, that said the young helper was the star! Our water glasses were never empty. My favorite dish by far was the squid.

3 elderly gentlemanmen and myself ate dinner at this restaurant last night. Meal was great but our male server was very poor. My friend didnt get his dinner, arguing with major attitude , saying it wasnt ordered. I finally got up to speak with management said no server should talk to customer this way. It was extremely upsetting and bad experience. We eat there often. And that was a horrible experience. Manager took over. She said this is the 3rd complaint about this server. If we ever go again , if he comes to our table, well ask for another server. Ive worked in food industry and no server should ever speak, with daggering eyes to a customer. It ruined our dinner. Servers name was , I think Valaz???? I dont think this is correct name spelling though. Certainly ruined our always amazing experience there. Im dissatisfied because by the time my friends eventually arrived, my meal was so cold. Not acceptable. Hope this guy is let go, hes V9H restaurant isappointing feedback and reputation.

Came here with family friends for a birthday. We were attended to wonderfully for such a large party. I personally was v happy w my dish: the 40 day dry aged beef. 10/10. Other shared dishes: - bacon wrapped scallop w risotto: 7/10. Mid for thr scallops but risotto was good - spaghetti w gambari: 9/10. Very fresh and herby - cod: 8/10 - squidink (?) pasta w salmon: 7/10. Abit too soft - spiked affogato dessert (forgot the name): 3/10. The liqor was too strong for me The pinot grigio: 9/10. Nice and dry. Loved the atmosphere. The cobble stone floor reminded me so much of eating outside in italy.

Do Not Fall for Their Charity Contribution!!! We just visited this restaurant for their month donation for a good cause, and we regret it! They have a cheap selected menu for such a cause which mainly consist of rice. Food Wise, our salmon fish was not fully cooked through! Thin part of fish was cooked but not the thick section of fillet. The portions were 60-70% rice and the rest fish/shrimp and vegetables. So disappointed! We could have a good night dinner and also contributed for a good cause, but, that was not the case here!

If you are looking for an upscale Italian restaurant (close to Altamont) that serves traditional (and delicious) Italian food - this is it! I had heard from friends that the food and service here is always excellent! My first time at Mangia E Bevi Ristorante with friends and loved this place. Enjoyed the beef (although not a big fan of blue cheese) and the delicious pan-fried potato gnocchi. Not to forget the calamari Fritti. Loved it! (: They have a great Wine selection too. Will be back again soon to explore the rest of the menu. Thank you for an amazing dining experience and it sure did exceed my expectations.

I live on Vancouver Island and was looking for a venue in West Vancouver for my mother s 90th birthday dinner for 14 or 15 people at the end of June. I had heard good things about Mangia E Bevi and they had good reviews so I called them in late April to ask about the restaurant, stressing that we needed a quiet and warm venue for my mother and wondering if they could accommodate that. I was told their Wine Cellar is a smaller semi-private area that is quiet and the temperature is easily controlled (relative to the open restaurant area) and that our group could be in that room. They added that there might be a few small tables in addition to ours, but it would still be quiet. The person I was speaking with said that Sundays (our night) are relatively quiet and the patio is open in late June so we would likely have the room to ourselves. It sounded perfect and I made a reservation for 15 based on that room. (One couple on our guest list had been to the restaurant before and commented that it was quite loud, but I said I had dealt with that by booking the Wine Cellar.) My partner and I were in Vancouver in early May and went to Mangia E Bevi for dinner, to ensure it would be suitable for the birthday dinner. The food and service were very good but the area we were seated in (not the Wine Cellar) was quite loud. We checked out the Wine Cellar and it seemed great. I confirmed our reservation three days before our dinner, reduced our number to 12 due to illness and all was fine. I was told that if we wanted to ensure we had the Wine Cellar completely to ourselves we could buy it out for $1,500 but as we had been told there might only be a few small additional tables in that room we did not do the buy-out, but were still assured our table would be in that room. We arrived at the restaurant, just prior to it opening, to drop off table decorations and cakes (allergy issues) and were told then that they were putting a larger party in the Wine Cellar (but not a buy-out ) and that we had been relocated to the main restaurant area, specifically near the front doors. I was advised by the hostess that it was a quiet area, but it was also evident that there was no option available to us at that point and it was too late to go elsewhere. The table itself was small and very cramped for 12 people. As the restaurant filled up it got very loud and my mother, who was seated in the middle of the table, complained that she could not hear any of the conversation at our table. The main entry door was adjacent and open, plus the air conditioning was on so it was cold. Our server tried hard, but she had numerous tables, she was rushed, some of our guests were not offered coffee while some were, and it felt by all of us that we were being rushed through our evening. On the positive, everyone enjoyed their meals. Overall, because our seating area the basis of our reservation - was changed and thus the noise and temperature were a significant factor, our evening that was supposed to be a celebration of 90 good years turned out to be sub-par. I phoned the restaurant four days later to discuss my concerns and was advised that they had been extremely busy that night and had many walk-ins, but it was evident that our table arrangements had been changed before they opened and certainly before any walk-ins materialized. I was told that the owner would call me back to discuss it further but as of now, 11 days, later there has been no call. Our specific requests regarding the seating area and temperature had been agreed upon but without any notice to us they were changed and that had a direct impact on our celebration. I will not return and from the comments of our guests they will not either.

Even though it seems like every other restaurant we end up at are understaffed and inexperienced, this place surprised us. We came here by fluke after walking out of another restaurant (that shall not be named) near the beach, after waiting almost an hour for service after getting a table. We called ahead to make sure there wouldnt be a long wait and that we would make it in for last call. As soon as we got there Bella our waitress made us feel very comfortable and taken care of. The food was well prepared and excellent. Our waitresses knew the menu well and we were all glad that she convinced us with her recommendations. It was my fathers 80th birthday and my mothers 75th. Bella saved our night!

We had the absolute pleasure of visiting Mangia E Bevi for my Dad s birthday Nov 5 2023, and I cannot express enough how truly exceptional our experience was. This was not our first visit to the restaurant, and I wanted it to be something incredibly special for my Dad. Well, let me tell you, Mangia E Bevi went above and beyond to ensure it was a memorable and extraordinary occasion. From the moment we stepped through the doors, we were enveloped in an atmosphere that exuded warmth and sophistication. The staffs dedication to making this day special was evident from the very start. Despite there being two other parties in the same room, it felt like we were in our own private haven, making the celebration feel even more intimate. The service at Mangia E Bevi is nothing short of exceptional; it is truly second to none. Our hostess and waitress, Brianna, deserves a special mention. She is an absolute gem and went out of her way to ensure our dining experience was unforgettable. Briannas friendliness and pleasant demeanor radiated throughout the room, and she served us with a constant, genuine smile. Her attention to detail and dedication to making our night memorable were evident in every aspect of our dining experience. What sets Mangia E Bevi apart is not only the delectable cuisine but also the way they prioritize creating a special atmosphere for their guests. The food was divine, with a wide array of options to choose from, each dish meticulously prepared and presented. From appetizers to dessert, the flavors were exquisite, and we savored every bite. Our visit to Mangia E Bevi was truly a magical experience, and it was made even more special by the incredible atmosphere and inclusivity that we encountered. It was a celebration of my Dads birthday, and as we enjoyed our evening, something remarkable happened that touched our hearts deeply. In a room filled with warmth and laughter, the guests, including us, found themselves spontaneously singing birthday songs to each other. The sense of inclusivity was nothing short of spectacular. As we celebrated my Dads birthday, other guests in the room were also marking their special occasions, and the joy was infectious. We found ourselves sharing in the joy and singing birthday songs not only for my Dad but also for those celebrating around us. The sense of togetherness and camaraderie in that moment was truly remarkable. I must mention that this wasnt my first visit to Mangia E Bevi; I have had the pleasure of dining here multiple times before. Each visit has been exceptional, and this time, I wanted to introduce my parents to this wonderful place. I knew they would be in for a treat, but what we experienced went beyond our expectations. The staffs dedication to making every guest feel welcome, the outstanding service, and the exquisite cuisine have made Mangia E Bevi a place close to my heart. Our visit to Mangia E Bevi was a heartwarming celebration of my Dads birthday, filled with inclusivity and a sense of togetherness that made the evening truly special. For anyone seeking not just a meal but an unforgettable experience, I wholeheartedly recommend Mangia E Bevi. Its a place where both newcomers and regulars like me can come together, celebrate lifes moments, and bask in the outstanding service and delectable food. Thank you, Mangia E Bevi, for creating cherished memories that will stay with us forever. Shaun

Great Italian restaurant... We started with the buratta and beet salad - beets and salad were great, but the buratta could have been a bit better (the only negative about the whole night). By the way the side bread was also great. For mains we had the had the wild mushroom ravioli and Strozzapreti Roberto. Both were very good pastas, but the mushroom ravioli was unbelievable - texture, flavour and the sage brown butter sauce were out of this world. We ended the meal with the Budino Ai Fichi E Datteri - a sticky date and fig pudding, but its more of a cake than a pudding - it had a caramel sauce and a very creamy vanilla gelato - also unbelievable!! We paired it with their cappuccino with some baileys and it was the perfect addition. The ambience and the staff made the night all the better, which is why it was a 5 star night for us! Sorry for the photos, it was a bit dark

*Updated 2022* [3.5 star review] First time coming back since the COVID-19 Pandemic started. They are now under-seasoning everything. We provided the feedback so hopefully they improve to get back to their previous quality. Its possible they are catering to the clientele that likely prefer the under-seasoning, but this should be requested and not the standard. [5 star review] Love this place. Everything is delicious. Mushroom risotto and scalloped potatoes sides are amazing both in flavor and in price.

Have been coming here off and on for years, my family has also frequented this venue since they opened their doors. In the past I would have rated them a solid 4.5/5. I know there has been some BOH changes over the years. As of now I have to rate 3/5 for lack of consistentcy and flavor. The dishes we were served for a party of 5 tasted bland and some of the pastas tasted watery. Everytime I come I order the tagliolini frutti di mare. I was very let down by the lack of flavor the last couple times I had it. A little seasoning goes a long way. The pasta noodles themselves are cooked properly Al dente. Appetizers were good still.

Had a wonderful dinner here last week and would highly recommend this restaurant for those looking for a romantic and delicious dine out experience in West Vancouver. I called early in the day and left my call back number. They returned my call less than an your later and were able to book at table for two the same day, a quite Wednesday in January. We found free street parking nearby and were seated promptly at a nice table separated by shoji screens from other diners . During Covid times, this is much nicer than a plastic wall between the tables. They offered tap or sparkling water and brought sliced homemade focaccia with oil/balsamic to start while we perused the extensive and creative menu. Our menu selections included Crostata Di Pere E Fromaggio Blu. Warm, flavourful pear and blue cheese gently melted on puff pastry. I could have eaten the whole thing myself. Next was the Caprese Di Burrata. Soft and delicious homemade mozzarella with heirloom tomato and a fresh sprig of basil with olive oil. It tasted like summer on a plate! Our pasta choice was Spaghetti Deliziosi with pesto, asparagus, oven dried tomato (which I like so much more than sun-dried tomato), walnuts and pine nuts. Just the right amount to share. Our Secondi Piatti was Anatra Farcita Al Frangelico: boar bacon wrapped duck breast stuffed with roasted chestnut, apple and celeriac, topped with Frangelico sauce. Ive never liked duck breast until now. Its usually too heavy for me but this was beautifully prepared and just the right amount to be satisfying with a side of grilled seasonal veggies. Boar bacon should be the new bacon! Dessert? Yes, of course! Torte A Limone E Pinole; lemon zabaione tart with pine nut crust. Just sweet enough to cleanse the palate and a generous dollop of crema fresca on top. Big enough to share had he had any room left. I always have room for lemon... My companion enjoyed a house wine Chianti and they even had a Moscato that wasnt on the list for me which made my day! We lingered over 2 hours and enjoyed every morsel on our plates. I didnt see the bill because he was treating but he said it was worth it for the quality of the meal and variety of tastes on our plates. Call ahead for reservations or enjoy your meal at home with their take away selections.

Had a great take out dinner a few nights ago.. its now Friday night 9:15 and my sweet tooth was yearning for your dessert was insane...so I called for a pick up of a salad and a few deserts (super easy). They wouldnt take my order... sorry were closing. now I understand youre prob closing earlier because of the pandemic, I respect that...but the restaurant business needs all the support they can get, dont they? I would have tipped large.. $20 to help..but nope... super sad

December 23, 2021

Had dinner for 4 on the 30th. Was aware of ninety minute limit. With 7 minutes to go a check was brought to our table and told that it was not possible to order desert. The bill was just under $300. A heads up on the time would have been appreciated. There was no-one waiting and there were vacant tables.

Our favourite Italian place! Fantastic food, incredible service every time, and a wonderful team who is clearly passionate about the food they make. The veal is always exceptionally tender and flavourful, their risotto is amazing, and the crust that they get on their fish is perfect every time. Make sure to have their carpaccio & inslata mista (their garnish choices elevate both dishes and make them the perfect appetizer!) You can t go wrong with any of their desserts, but opting for creme brûlée with a cappuccino will put you in a good mood. This place always makes my husband and I feel like we re back in Italy again!

Everything Ive had here is amazing. The service is perfect. What better Italian food can you find? I highly recommend the beef carpaccio - best anywhere, and the browned butter and sage ravioli. Its always as good or better than I remember it.

Amazing customer service and great food! The staff are very accommodating, especially for food allergies. They were helpful and made sure my seat was away from other diners who had ordered food Im allergic to (Im very sensitive to the smell as well). I really appreciated this :) I had the beef tenderloin with blue cheese-cream (Filetto Ai Formaggio Blu). I must say this is one of the few restaurants that Ive encountered that actually does a medium rare well! I was very happy that it wasnt over-cooked and the transition from seared outside to lightly brown inside was smooth. Another point I love about this place is that you can order dishes that are off the menu as long as they have the ingredients, since they make their food from scratch. I asked for a carbonera simply because I craved one and they made it for me! Overall great experience and will come again. Thank you!

Appetizers and Desserts are very tasty. Main course quality is average (or less than average if you order Strozzapretti Roberto; too salty.. ). Great service and lovely ambiance! Overall it is a nice place but you wont be amazed by the food. Suggestion: For daily specials, its good to give people a menu so they can see their options as well as the prices.. This does not work verbally. People want to know how much they would have to pay for a daily special item too !

December 23, 2019

Overbearing waiter assumed (wrongly) we needed a lesson on wines. Very poor flat and cold ravioli swimming in thin and tasteless truffle sauce. Overpriced and disappointing experience.

Wed heard such wonderful things about this restaurant that we saved it for a special occasion. Made reservations for a special anniversary, told hostess on phone this and wanted a window seat. Got there 5 min early said we had reservations, reply was sit wherever you want. No mention through whole evening of thanks you for coming on special night . They obviously missed that even when I said to server, its our anniversary. Chef came around and spoke to every table but us! Guess we should have worn sweat suits and flip flops too. I honestly cant remember the food, not amazing as I was expecting. When we celebrate a special event we go to a special restaurant. This one will not be on our return list, even though its right around the corner. Would have enjoyed the food and friendly service at the sister restaurant across the street better!

Mangia is our go-to for special occasions with the family on the North Shore. Their pasta always tastes so fresh and the service and atmosphere are excellent. The Tartufate pasta is no longer on the menu but we often still order it as a side to share because it is so good (rich, creamy truffle deliciousness). They also have a pasta special month which is a great time to go try different items from the menu for less. Even the candy on offer as you exit is fantastic.

I was not satisfied with the service, the gentleman server was not attentive to our table. The patio table was not sturdy so it would wobble from time to time.

This is a superb restaurant, and overlooked especially for lunch. Wonderfully traditional high-quality Italian fare (red and white sauces both featured), served in a delightfully quiet atmosphere by attentive staff. Recent triumphs include caesar salad, fettuccine alfredo, chicken in a creamy mushroom sauce--utterly ordinary menu items rendered exquisitely well. (I swear they must put opium into their sauces....) Wine list just the right size, and the Italian white suggested by the waiter was perfect for this meal: minerality cut gently through all that sauce.... If you want a civilized change from the earls/Cactus Club din, with wait staff who dont dress like call girls, take a walk on the calm side and get to Mangia e Bevi.
