Mangiabene

Service is great! Food is good and prices are more than acceptable. Try their weekly specials!

This place was a great find. Slightly off the beaten track near Upper Street it’s definitely worth a small diversion. For starters we tried the 2 specials; Parmigiana melanzanne & King prawn with chilli and garlic. The melanzanne in particular was fantastic and probably the best I’ve ever eaten. Just cheesy enough and not overly greasy or oily.
Onto mains and we decided to go for one of each of the Italian options. Pepperoni and artichoke pizza plus Fettuccine pasta with porcini mushrooms and truffle. The pizza that arrived was actually not what I ordered and even though they were going to replace it the pizza looked far too good to send back. Both dishes tasted fantastic and the pizza crust was just the right thickness.
The house red wine tasting was a multipulciano and it £14 was incredible value for money.
Just to round things off the manager brought over a free crème caramel to say sorry for the pizza mistake.
This place is well worth a visit
