Favourite Italian on the North Shore

Jun 2024 • friends

Mangia E Bevi is our favourite Italian restaurant on the North Shore. Our recent visit was as memorable as ever. The service was attentive and accommodating to our requests for substitutions. The Calamari Mangia E Bevi was a big hit with everyone; we ordered two to share: sauteed, not cooked, is the way to go! The best dish was the chicken piccata with tagliolini tartufate. We had so much fun we closed the place down.

As good as ever

Nov 2022 • couples

As good as ever. The short rib special was superb and so were the Vesuvio and Roberto. Excellent cocktails. The service was efficient. Three cocktails and a bottle of Antinori Vie Cave Malbec, the total cost was Can$279 for four people. That’s Can$70 a head (£45 Sterling) which for a restaurant of this quality is a bargain.

An enjoyable dining experience

Aug 2021 • none

My wife and I are recent residents to West Vancouver. A friend recommended Mangia E Bevi for dinner. We were not dissapointed. The service was excellent from our warm receiption by the host to the attentive service by our waiter Ken. Although we had reserved a table on the patio, we decided to sit inside the restaurant as the weather was very hot. The operators of the restaurant have created a good ambience and we really enjoyed the quiet background music which encompassed an unobtrusive fine jazz piano selection.To start I ordered the beef carpaccio and my wife, the caeser salad. Both were excellent. For our main course my wife ordered the potato crusted halibut which was superbly cooked. I had the tagliolini frutti di mare. I highly recommend this dish for pasta lovers. The tagliolini was cooked to prefection and was enhanced by the delicious combined flavours of sea food, tomato and peperoccino. We treated ourselves to desert and ordered the frangelico infused creme caramel and the chocolate sorbet, neither of which dissapointed. In summary I highly recommend Mangia e Bevi; delicious cuisine, excellent attentive service combined with reasonable prices and a first rate ambience

Disappointing in Person

Jun 2021 • none

This was one of our favorite restaurants and during virus restrictions we often had takeout which was excellent. Our recent return to in-person was shockingly disappointing. There was only one waiter for the large number of tables and the bus-persons who tried hard were inexperienced and sort of lost. The bottle of white wine was too warm and even getting the attention of a server to ask for ice was difficult. Food was good but served in a random way and pasta dishes were not hot when served (too long waiting in the kitchen?) and it took much too long to get a server to bring parmesan cheese. Really do hope that the owners will make necessary changes to return this restaurant to its previous excellence.

Our favourite Italian restaurant on the North Shore

Oct 2024 • couples

Our favourite Italian restaurant in the North Shore. We started with calamari fritti - the best calamari around. We followed with the Tagliatelle Marchigiane and the Strozzapreti Roberto - both excellent. No room for dessert. The only complain I have - which it applies to other restaurants as well - is that although a certain vintage is indicated on the wine list, that vintage is never available. They always come with a very much younger and inferior wine, but they charge the same price. Why bother with the vintage year in the first place?

One of our favorites

Aug 2020 • none

We have frequently dined at Mangia E Bevi and have introduced many family members and friends to this fine restaurant. In all the years that we have dined here we have never been disappointed. Last evening was no exception. We had a lovely table on the patio and we had to good fortune to have Gordon as our server. Gordon was very professional but he has a genuine warmth that puts you at ease. He also has a dry sense of humour that we really appreciated. We never had to top up our wine glasses at all during the evening. Conversation with Gordon was very easy but he was never intrusive. I must say in all fairness that we’ve never experienced poor or even just average service at Mangia E Bevi but have always felt like very welcome guests. The food is amazing as usual. Focaccia bread accompanied by olive oil and vinegar was brought to the table while we perused the menu. Gordon gave us a very good description of the evening specials. We ordered one of our favorite pastas – spaghetti Mangia E. Bevi – spaghetti with minced chicken, black beans and chili. It is not on the regular menu but you can order it on request. It is wonderful. Not like your usual pastas. We ordered a bottle of white wine to have with our meal. For entrees my husband had the Cornish game hen. It was a perfectly cooked hen, moist and flavourful and served with roast potatoes and vegetables. I ordered the tenderloin, rare and it was perfectly cooked. The steak came with warm mushroom salad, scalloped potatoes and spinach. All of the food was delicious and reasonably priced for the quality. It was another wonderful evening at Mangia E Bevi with wonderful warm service from Gordon, delicious food from the kitchen, a lovely ambiance sitting on the patio on a warm summer’s evening and reasonable prices. It doesn’t get any better than this. Covid protocols were well adhered to. There was hand sanitizer on the entrance table and the tables were well spaced apart.

Authentic Italian

Jan 2023 • none

Mangia E Bevi is a bit of Italian magic in the heart of West Vancouver. The food is authentic, adventurous, and delicious. The wine list is well-considered, and the service is impeccable. Try going midweek, so you have room and time to explore all their delicacies. If you are lucky, you might get a visit from Chef Rob Parrot!

Not Impressed!

May 2020 • none

I have started out by giving this restaurant 5 stars because I truly think it is an excellent restaurant. However, we called last night to order pick up and was flabbergasted by the treatment we got over the phone. The gentleman was abrupt, rude and not helpful at all. My daughter was craving gnocchi and so she sweetly asked for that. We know gnocchi is on the menu as it is a side with one of the meat dishes. The gentleman said "No". She then recalled that her best friend ordered it a few days ago so she then asked "can I replace gnocchi with another pasta" to which he said "yes". Rudely and abruptly I might add. So why not be a little more informative and tell us that instead of having us fish for it. At that point, my daughter handed me the phone because she didn't want to speak to him anymore. I was also craved pasta and was asking for some recommendations to which he keeps replying "look online". I am trying to tell him I can't look online because I am speaking with him on the phone. Anyways, we then hand the phone to my husband who it appears he recognizes and starts to change his tune. Our experience was not very pleasant and we felt like we were really bothering this person. If I was sitting in his restaurant, like I have many, many times, I would be asking for recommendations and suggestions anyways. Isn't that part of the whole experience? When everything opens back up, I will definitely think twice about going there! You would think that during these crazy unprecedented times we are that he should be feeling blessed and thankful that he is operating and open for business and has a job!

Enjoyed our B.A.C.I.O. dinner here - amazing value, with $ going to hospitals so it's for a great cause. Portions were very generous and food was very good and reliable, though not to the level of innovative or unusual. Service was a bit uneven but nothing that got in the way of our evening.

It’s January and as always

Jan 2020 • friends

It’s January and as always Mangia E Bevi have their special event B.A.C.I.O. (Because A Cure Is Obtainable). A very good menu with plenty of choices for $40, and most importantly with a $10 per person going to local hospitals. Everything was excellent, amazing service as usual.

Great Takeout During the Virus

May 2020 • none

Have ordered twice during the virus. Food packeged to keep warm and service was excellent. Have set-up outside to pick up food and pay with a tap of the credit card. Good discount on food and also from the extensive wine list. And, of course the food was excellent!!! Support local business and don't use delivery services which take too much from restaurants.

Always a great meal here. Outdoor patio. Great wine list. Recommend the Veal Scallopine Marsala. Cut it with a fork. Salads and vegetables always fresh. Pasta homemade.

Always a memorable evening at Mangia E Bevi

Feb 2020 • none

This is one of my favorites on the North Shore. The staff are always friendly and inviting. I just feel special from the moment we come in the door. The menu is full of delicious options. They have a great wine list too! If you want a guaranteed special date night, this little hideaway guarantees it in every way.

Superb pastas.

Oct 2021 • couples

My favourite restaurant in the Vancouver greater area. Haven’t been there since January 2020 and I was not surprised at all that it continues to be as good as it was back then. The pastas are simply superb as is the service. Shall be returning soon.

Disappointing and irritating as Italian.

Feb 2025 • family

The shame of Italian kitchen image. Ordered a tiramisu’ (this is the right way to say TIRAMISU’ and not Tiramusa or Tarimasu) take away spending 130$ for a blown up cake (more similar to a blob than a cake). Da italiano mi girano i coglioni!
