I had to return on Friday, July 24th for the last official Happy Hour! It was bittersweet seeing the staff and the return of my favorite bartender Jay. The placed was packed with patrons like me who wanted to share memories of many good times spent here. The atmosphere and music was festive and the attitudes were as lively as the spirits being poured! In speaking with the staff, their enthusiasm for what lies ahead was infectious! We discussed this new journey and our anticipation of reuniting again to enjoy what the new aesthetic and menu will hold.

We looked at some reviews and my uncle had eaten there a number of years ago and said the food was delicious. Was he right. I think it was undersold. Walking in, we were greeted immediately by a very nice hostess. When my wife said our name, the hostess asked whose birthday it was and wished me a very happy birthday. The floor is made of beautiful French tiles. There are the old looking mirrors that you think of when you imagine a French restaurant. We ordered some cocktails and wine. Everything was delicious. I didn't get pics of the appetizers. We ordered the mussels with white wine and garlic, hummus and Brussels sprouts. All were really good. The mussels were some of the best I have ever had. Sweet, fresh mussels, garlicky sauce. So good. There were 7 of us and everyone got something different. Everyone absolutely loved what they had. My mom's scallops were sweet, tender and flavorful. The pork chop was unbelievable. They changed the menu so I don't have the description. Might have been French onion soup. Sooo good. My beef Wellington was delicious. The lamb chops were cooked to perfection, crusted in pistachios and came with greens and au gratin potatoes. Wow. The duck was melt in your mouth tender. We had 4 desserts to share. Chocolate mousse, pecan tart, Nutella crepes and apple bread pudding. They were all absolutely delicious. From the food to the service, everything was top notch. Our waiter and server assistant were great. It was pretty bright and the assistant closed the drapes. The waiter also noticed the table wobbled a tiny bit. He called over the assistant who fixed it immediately. No one had said a word. I can't wait to go back and try more!

My boyfriend ordered the Dulce de Leche crepe, and it came out warm, soft, and generously filled with that rich caramel sweetness with strawberries that somehow still felt light instead of overwhelming. I went for the Ferrero Rocher crepe, and it was genuinely incredible....nutty, chocolatey, and perfectly balanced so every bite tasted like dessert done right rather than just pure sugar overload. What made the whole experience even better was the service. The staff were friendly, attentive without being intrusive, and everything came out quickly and looking great. It's the kind of place where you feel welcomed the moment you walk in, and you end up staying a little longer than you planned just because it's comfortable. Between the food and the atmosphere, it's an easy recommendation...especially if you're craving crepes that actually feel thoughtfully made! We will definitely be back!! Highly recommend.

I was also able to secure us a last minute reservation at 1:45p which we may have waited a minute or two more? We chatted with the hostess as she complimented both of our purses and she was very friendly. So off Steph and I went with hungry stomachs as we had arrangements to hit YAAAS after lunch. We already agreed on splitting the following: - Cream Tea: which is a basket of scones (which we both took home two each and the accoutrements that go with said scones) and a pot of tea. - Burrata & Fried Eggplant Salad: the salad in our opinion could've used more dressing and the Burrata needed either more dressing or salt. As the waitress seemed to be rather busy we opted for the more salt option. Fried eggplant was definitely fried and nice and crispy. - Turkey & Goat Cheese Sandwich: an interesting sandwich to say the least. Some bites I felt like I tasted straight up cranberry compote other bites straight goat cheese. The side salad with the generous sprinkling of goat cheese and dressing was delicious. I think if we came back again I'd definitely be interested in high tea and their little cheese board we saw. The ambiance of Chat Noir is rather girly but I'm more than good with that. Definitely cute. We also spotted a few ladies with cute hats on which even though it wasn't my personal experience made it very cute. Will I be back? You betcha when I'm in the area with my girly.

The Best Margherita Pizza Ever!…read more There are pizzas that are good, pizzas that are delicious, and then there is the Margherita pizza from Mangia Bene Italian Oven. In my opinion, this pizza is in a completely different category. From the moment it arrives at the table, you can tell that this is not just another ordinary pizza. It has that beautiful, classic Italian appearance that immediately makes you want to take a bite, and once you do, it is hard to stop. What makes the Margherita pizza so special is its simplicity. Instead of covering the pizza with a mountain of toppings, Mangia Bene lets the basic ingredients shine. The combination of tomato sauce, mozzarella, fresh basil, and perfectly baked crust creates a flavor that is incredibly satisfying without being overwhelming. Every ingredient has a purpose, and together they create something that tastes much more sophisticated than a typical slice of pizza. The crust is one of my favorite parts. A great pizza needs a crust that has the right balance between crispiness and softness, and the Margherita pizza delivers that experience. The outside has that delicious baked texture, while the inside remains enjoyable and flavorful. It gives every bite a satisfying combination of textures instead of feeling like you're simply eating a piece of bread with toppings. Then there is the cheese. The mozzarella brings that creamy, rich flavor that makes Margherita pizza so comforting. When it is combined with the warm tomato sauce, you get that classic pizza taste that never gets old. The tomato adds just the right amount of sweetness and acidity, while the basil gives everything a fresh, fragrant finish. And that is really what makes this pizza stand out: balance. It isn't trying too hard. It doesn't need ten different toppings or an enormous amount of cheese to be delicious. The ingredients complement one another perfectly. You can taste the tomato, the mozzarella, the basil, and the crust individually, but they also come together as one incredible bite. I also love that Margherita pizza feels like a pizza that respects the tradition of Italian cooking. Italian food has always had a way of taking relatively simple ingredients and turning them into something memorable. Mangia Bene's Margherita pizza captures that feeling beautifully. It reminds you that sometimes the simplest foods are the ones that can be the most satisfying. Every bite makes you want another. You get the savory tomato, the creamy mozzarella, the aromatic basil, and that delicious crust all at once. It is the kind of pizza that makes you slow down for a moment and actually appreciate what you're eating. If someone asked me what pizza they should try at Mangia Bene for the first time, the Margherita would be at the top of my list. It is classic, flavorful, satisfying, and incredibly easy to love. Some people may have their favorite pizza somewhere else, but for me, Mangia Bene's Margherita pizza is hard to beat. It has everything I want in a pizza without unnecessary extras. It is simple, fresh, flavorful, comforting, and memorable. Five stars isn't enough. This is the kind of pizza that makes you say, "Wow, this might actually be the best pizza I've ever had." If you love classic Italian pizza, the Margherita at Mangia Bene Italian Oven is absolutely worth trying. One bite and you may understand exactly why I think it is the best pizza ever.
