    Chard Caesar Salad, homemade croutons
    Lori H.

    If you want authentic Italian food than THIS is the place!! Consistently fabulous and always interesting flavors mixed together that are especially delicious. The ambiance is cozy with soft music in the background. Lana the owner couldn't be more friendly and accommodating and in fact makes it a fun dining experience. The desserts are all homemade ( literally) sometimes by her daughter. It's our "go to" place whenever we have out of town guests. NEVER DISAPPOINTS and our friends are always impressed that this restaurant is in Bradley Beach! They also have theme nights sometimes like Disco Night which is a blast. The one thing I can say about this restaurant other than the deliciously amazing food is you will never get bored of their menu or the place.

    The food here is excellent in this small restaurant occupying the former spot of Bel(la) Sogno. Owner Lana has taken over this venue about a year now and has certainly made improvements in the food department. She formerly had this restaurant in Brick Township. We shared artichoke hearts In a lemon sauce -excellent. I ordered a pork chop Sicilian with cherry peppers - Very good. We shared the bread pudding- excellent plus possibly the best I've eaten. Staff very friendly, yet somewhat inexperienced. Gender-neutral restrooms. Our personal takes from this visit: Very difficult parking in winter, worse in season Very noisy-to be expected in a small dining room The smallest table ever dined on. The entree dishes hung over the edge, causing possible spillage. One couldn't fit everything on the table at once. My pork chops were very bony and a thin-cut for the price. Kinda pedestrian. 3 and half stars.

    Baked clams

    My wife and I asked a friend if she could recommend a good Italian restaurant for the two of us. She told us that she ate at a small place near Belmar that she loved so we thought we'd give it a try. We love to try new restaurants every Saturday We arrived a bit early but we're seated right away by Lana,the owner, very pleasant and very friendly. We ordered the charred Caesar, the baked clams and the artichoke Francaise for our starters All were outrageously good but hands down the best were the baked clams. Best we ever had. We split the citrus chili short rib for our main. It was delicious. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a small,quiet, authentic Italian restaurant that is reasonably priced for the area

    Wow - another great Italian restaurant on the Jersey shore. Wanting to try this place for awhile we finally made it yesterday for a delicious Sunday dinner. Bread service very nice including the eggplant tapenade. Our starter was an excellent rendition of clams oreganata made with small little necks. Our mains of chicken milanese with arugula and shrimp scampi over linguini were both delicious as well as generous portions. Sharing a slice of ricotta cheese cake and expresso coffees was a nice finish to a really enjoyable meal. The ambience was very nice in deed with the soft music playing in the background and the service provided by our waitress excellent, additionally the owner was exceptionally nice and attentive. Hard to believe in just a short period of time the Jersey shore has added yet another excellent Italian restaurant. I recommend you put Mangiare Tu on your short list.

    This is one of our hands down favorite places for dinner in Bradley beach. Service fantastic. Food omg. Atmosphere just wonderful. And it's a byo. Run don't walk. Make the reservation and be prepared for a fabulous meal.

    Chicken parm

    Excellent service, delicious food. Small dining room, both indoor and outdoor dining. Outdoor dining right up against another Italian restaurant and an Italian bakery, which adds to its charm. Homemade, with high quality ingredients. Don't miss trying Mangiare Tu--we plan to go back each time we are near Bradley Beach.

Its good reputation is well earned. Thin Crispy Crust, Sweet Sauce and gooey cheese. Can be a little greasy but actually in a GOOD way! Flavor bomb! Pepperoni, Sausage and Onions is the way to go! Fried Calamari appetizer is just the right size and if you order the Antipasto Salad; it can be shared by 4 people. It's BIG! Seating can be a little trying on busier nights (weekends/Summer) etc but moves well enough, and worth waiting.

It was so good that I would have returned back the very next day. We walked in and we're seated immediately with our reservation, and the experience only went up from there.

I told him we don't want that, all we want is an answer as to how much longer our food will be. Again, no answer.

    I had the most upsetting and disappointing experience at Pete & Elda's last night. I ordered a…read moredouble extra large pepperoni & onion pizza to be delivered on DoorDash. When I received the order, the pizza was a plain pizza with no toppings. However, the ticket inside the box had my name and what I ordered. So clearly, this was not the Doordasher's mistake, it was the restaurants. I called the restaurant and explained what happened & the manager on the phone Brandon said that in order for me to receive a refund, I'd have to contact DoorDash. I explained I didn't want a refund, I just wanted the pizza that I ordered. He then said I'd have to pick up the new pizza (which I was fine with doing) in 25-30 minutes. When I drove to the restaurant to pick up the new pizza, I'm then told by Brandon that I'd have to pay for the new pizza (which he never stated over the phone) & contact DoorDash for a refund. I explain ONCE AGAIN, that I'm not looking for a refund, I just want the pizza that I ordered. He then explains that it's just their policy & I'd have to pay for the new pie (even though it was their fault I got the wrong order.) Any decent manager or business would give the new pie for free because it was a mistake on their end. I obviously refused to pay for a second pizza & asked to speak to someone else. Then another manager named Joe comes out & basically says the same thing that Brandon says. At this point, I'm very upset because I'm being asked to pay for a mistake that I didn't make. I call my dad & let him know what's happening, & then he drives over with the pizza that was received and the ticket in the box. We then proceed to go back & forth with the managers for around 10 minutes. They completely avoided accountability for their mistake, & instead tried to blame the mistake on the dasher. The manager Joe was saying that "dashers pick up multiple orders at once & could've mixed the pizzas up." Clearly, that's not what happened in this situation, so it felt like they were trying to insult our intelligence. I ONCE AGAIN tell him that the dasher received the correct pizza from the restaurant because the ticket in the box was correct, one of their staff just gave the wrong pizza. I worked in the food industry for many years so I understand how DoorDash works. It's not the Dashers's responsibility to check the box and make sure the pizza is correct as that would be very unsanitary. The responsibility is on the restaurant to give the Dasher the correct order. After me having to drive to their restaurant when I wanted the order delivered initially, then my dad having to drive there to back me up, & us going back & forth with them, they finally decide to give me the pizza without me having to pay a second time (which they should've done in the first place.) Then the manager Joe tries to offer us a credit the next time we decide to go to the restaurant but I told him there was no need for that because we will never go to Pete & Elda's ever again! This whole situation has left such a bad taste in my mouth. I've had an issue before where I received the wrong pizza from Pete & Elda's & they simply remade my order and gave me a new pizza, so I don't understand why they expected me to pay again for food I already paid for through DoorDash! I have lived in Neptune all of my life and my parents have been living here for over 30+ years, & we were frequent customers at Pete & Elda's. We are so upset & disappointed that we can't even bring ourselves to set foot in that restaurant ever again. If they simply gave me the new remade pizza without demanding a second payment, this situation would've never happened. The managers were completely unprofessional and handled this situation HORRIBLY. You guys have lost loyal customers over a pizza that probably cost you $10 to make.
