Mangia & Bevi - Toronto

Found on yelp and walked from our hotel, The King EdwardExcellent service, food, and ambianceThe pasta was delicious.

You would never know this place was there unless you went specifically looking for it. Feels like a casual, neighbourhood pub.

I thought it was amazing because it's been so long since I've let myself go (Italian-style cheat meals are the best).

The restaurant is not as it appears in the pictures and reviews. It seemed upscale but had more of a diner-like atmosphere. We chose to sit outside, where it felt like a diner in the dark. The pizza looked good at first, but it was dry and bland. We had to ask for oil to soften it, which took a while to receive. The prices were too high for the quality. Our meal of an appetizer and two pizzas cost over $80, without drinks, dessert, or coffee. We went somewhere else for dessert and coffee. The service was okay, but it took a long time for our requests to be fulfilled, even though the restaurant was not busy and we had multiple servers.

Amazing eating, simple menu and real service. $20 corkage if they did their own what we did. everything was nice, it's a hidden gem.
