    Love this place, always a go to for the Frankie blue eyed Martini by Austin no one makes it better. Service is great food even better. Oysters are to die for, steak tartar app is even better and my favorite special is the linguine shrimp and lobster entrée. Jen the best hostess ever so sweet and accommodating

    I went here on a date with my boyfriend and it was a cute but very small spot. We were recommended it from some friends. The tuna tartare app was very delish but small, I didn't love my scallops dish and my boyfriend got the gnocchi bolognese that he said was alright. Good service but we both didn't LOVE our meals. I will definitely give it another shot though because their menu has other great options

    I want anyone reading this post I waited over 1 month to hear back from the owner Matt after my last visit to the restaurant on Saturday night October 20th. I have been coming here for about 5 years after my cousin recommended them. I have sent many friends to eat here and have posted several 5 star reviews with tons of photos. I don't know if any restaurant could find a more loyal fan. Please read all my previous 5 star reviews. I made a reservation to come here with my cousin as he does not live too far from them as he has been recovering from heart surgery and I did not want him to have to travel. We've eaten here together in the past and always had a great experience. I even had to rent a car to drive out from Brooklyn as my car was out for detailing for a few days. Our server Elise was the same person I've praised to the owner Matt and others as everything in the past was spot on. Fast forward to Saturday October 20th and we had a 6:00 pm reservation. Coincidently our waitress was Elise who did remember us. The drive was over 1 hour 30 minutes in traffic and I wanted to make sure we were not rushed. I said I wanted to order the appetizers then wait to order the mains. I specified I did not want to be rushed, needed time to digest the appetizers and she said they always take the apps and mains together. I did not have an issue in the past so I said ok. Well here is where everything fell apart. We ordered drinks, a pitcher of Sangria, and 4 appetizers. Just as we were taking the last bite of the appetizers the mains came out even before the plates were cleared from the appetizers. We did not say anything at that point and ate our entrees. We ordered desert and before we were finished around 7:50 pm Elise put down the check. 10 minutes later Elise came back and said "The next reservation is here and we need the table so you will have to leave" REALLY??? We just spent about $400. HOW RUDE!!! I recapped the appetizer issue and said since when is there a time limit on the table? We were not even there 2 hours and did not plan on staying more than another 20 to 30 minutes anyway. She said technically we give you 2 hours and up to a 20 minute grace period. I said that's ok, you've made it clear we are not welcome or wanted and said we are going to leave. We still have her a very good tip besides this. I did not want to bother Matt who I know and decided to call when I got home. I called at 10:30 pm that night and he got on the phone. I asked if now was a good time or if he wants to speak tomorrow or Monday. He said now was ok. I recapped everything, expressed my disappointment and said it was shocking and embarrassing. He said he would look into it and promised to call me back. They have my phone number and I confirmed it with him just to make sure. Well guess what? Matt NEVER CALLED!!! How RUDE IS THAT!!! It's now been over 1 month so I guess some of the negative reviews other customers have posted are true. This was the ultimate slap in the face. I WILL NEVER GO BACK THERE!! He turned a LOYAL FAN into a DETRACTOR. I hope anyone reading reviews for this restaurant will take warning and not EVER EAT HERE. This is a matter of principle! You can have the best location, food, prices, decor, service, and if you fail to keep your promises you will lose all your credibility. With all his years of experience as a chef and businessman he has not learned that. EVERY CUSTOMERS SATISFACTION IS IMPORTANT. He basically told me that even though I have spent thousands of dollars in his restaurant I don't deserve a phone call back that was promised. I guess Matt's customers don't matter.

    We ate at the bar because they were so crowded and we actually made a reservation for the seating. Everything on the menu is great. Fresh flowers too. Very lively chatter. The restaurant was very inviting.

    It was good, good food, decent service just not worth the exorbitant price of 200 for a chicken parm and a gnocchi bolognese with 2 drinks.

Usually I order the pizza but this time I ordered the All American Burger which consisted of LTO, secret sauce, pickles, double patty smash style, brioche bun and french fries and it was delicious and it hit the spot.

    We've been wanting to dine at Joey's Bold Flavors, in Oceanside, for quite some time, and finally…read moregot there. From the outside, it's a very unpretentious looking establishment, but in the inside the food says it all. We began our meal by ordering one of the evening unique specials: artichoke hearts stuffed with chopped lobster, bread crumbs & smothered in a sublime lobster sauce. The dish consisted of 3 pieces, unfortunately, two of them were quickly devoured, and the photo only shows one piece. This delicious, and unique dish, was the opening act for what truly began a great meal at Joey's Bold Flavors. For entrees I ordered a melt in your mouth Pork ossobuco accompanied with a creamy broccoli rabe risotto, and grilled asparagus. The ossobuco was so soft & tender it just fell off the bone. I need to comment further on the broccoli rabe risotto. I've had risotto many times, but nothing as tasty as this combination. My wife had a delicious order of Chicken Parm w/angel hair pasta. She loved the dish, and commented that it was very tasty. It should be noted, that both entrees were very large portions, and can provide leftovers to be enjoyed the next day. Of course, we can never end a great meal without dessert. We always look to have something that is not the norm. After asking our waiter (by the way, who outstanding throughout) for suggestions, he suggested the house made tartufo. The dish consisted of pistachio ice cream, coated with pieces of chocolate & pistachios, and tasted as good and decadent as it sounds. A few last items of note: * There is a $42 daily, before 6 PM, prix fixe; * They have a BYOB policy, with no extra charge, although they do have a nice wine list along with a number of interesting cocktails; * They offered a 10% cash discount; * Finally, Joey is in constant motion, visiting tables to make sure all his patrons are satisfied. He's a charming individual who clearly has worked very hard to develop this fabulous and unique restaurant experience, and he and his restaurant deserve all the accolades it receives.

    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.

    Crispiest fried calamari I've ever had, they were so good! Unfortunately that's the only thing I…read morecan rave about. Worst rice balls any of us have ever had, slight soapy taste & the texture was awful. The meatballs didn't taste very fresh. Our chicken parm was okay but the pasta was way undercooked. The restaurant is nice but the food / service is not worth returning for. Our waitress had made a limoncello that should be ready in a few weeks which I thought was a nice thing to look forward to.
