Mangia 850 - Eastpoint (FL)

5 /5 Meghan White: Amazing food, especially desserts, and service! Atmosphere I dropped off a star, only because it’s a large room and when full can get pretty loud and over-stimulating. The menu is limited (but plenty to choose from and high quality ingredients), which just means that everything is delicious, as opposed to a large menu of food that is just “ok”. The staff was very welcoming and attentive and gave options to make the meal kid friendly. The desserts were my favorite part! The meal was extremely memorable and worth every penny, I’d highly recommend to anyone and cannot wait to return on our next trip!

4 /5 Jason Perlow: Mangia is a hidden gem in Eastpoint, FL, serving up Italian-American comfort food with a bold, unexpected twist. The chef, who’s originally from New Orleans, brings a Creole flair to the menu, especially in their marinara sauce. It’s not your typical marinara—it’s got an assertive sweetness and a depth of flavor that makes every dish pop. The Fried Green Tomato Parmesan is a must-try. They swapped eggplant for green tomatoes when quality eggplants were hard to find, and honestly, it’s an upgrade! Another favorite is the veggie-stuffed shells with creamy ricotta and a dreamy white sauce—pure comfort on a plate. Meat lovers, don’t miss the meatballs with their “Aurora” sauce, a perfect mix of tangy marinara and rich Alfredo. If you’re tired of oysters and shrimp and want something hearty, Mangia is the spot. It’s cozy, unpretentious, and full of flavor—worth the stop every time!

5 /5 Jim Walton: Mangia was recommended to me by a local, and it did not disappoint. I typically avoid crossing the bridge once I’m settled on the island, but I was in desperate need of a lasagna dinner for arriving guests. Kim was incredibly accommodating and really took care of us. The lasagna, salad, and bread were fantastic—honestly, the food was so authentic that my guests thought I had been prepping in the kitchen all day! I highly recommend Mangia if you are looking for a high-quality Italian meal.

5 /5 Amy Etheridge: A taste of Italy at the beach! Took a party of 8 to this restaurant on a Friday night. Was able to call ahead and make a reservation same day. The atmosphere was great. Service was exceptional. And the food...the food was delicious. The chef special was blue crab ravioli. It was great, but the Bolognese sauce stole the show. Our kids loved the chicken parmesan. You should definitely try this place when youre visiting SGI.
