The food here is excellent. The pastas are made in house and the service is very friendly. I loved the Tuscan Duck and the escargot is to die for. While the menu is not extensive everything was delicous. But the best thing about Mangia Mangia is the wine list. It is very long (you have to ask for the reserve list) with Italian, California and French wines well represented. The prices are the best I have seen anywhere. Unlike most places, they do not jack up the price for older wines so you can often get an older, well aged wine for less than it costs to get a newer one that isn't ready yet. I had a wonderful 93 Borelo one night and an excellent 94 California blend the next. This place should be on the list of every serious wine drinker. Many first growths at very reasonable prices (for 1st Cru) Great Italians like Gaja, large list of CA Zins. I plan to return every time I am in Key West. less

You get a bit tired of conch fritters, chowder and the like so one meal of italian food during your trip is acceptable. We walked in a 10pm when they were breaking down and getting ready to close. However, they welcomed us in, served us promptly and without any of the "what the hell are you doing walking in her when we're about to close" attitude I've experienced elsewhere.
Food was well prepared. The pasta was done perfectly and the sauces well seasoned. Portions ample and if the service was good when we visited, I'm sure it's great during normal dining hours. less
