Hands down the best pizza I’ve had in Sydney! The woodfired pizzas at Mangia e Bv are simply outstanding, thin, hand-made bases cooked to perfection, topped with the freshest, most flavourful ingredients. Recently back from Milano, Italy, I … More

We had the most wonderful experience this evening at Mangos e Bevi. We arrived without making reservations and with two very noisy infants - the staff sat us immediately and couldn’t have been more accommodating. The pizza was remarkable! … More

Really disappointed. I ordered a pizza with pineapple and it came out with none (only found out when I got home). It was also incredibly soggy even though we were only a 5-min drive away. It wasn't crispy at all and had hardly any tomato base sauce on it. More

Terrible food. Extraordinarily overpriced. $48 for a bowl of tomato soup with a few mussels inside. Sauce was clearly not homemade and one of the waitresses looked like she did not want to be there. One of the least authentic Italian places I have ever been to. Very disappointing

The pasta here is seriously unappetising. The penne was a tasteless and undercooked dry pasta while the gnocchi was falling apart and floury. Unfortunately you can’t even cover up the uninspiring sauces because the “parmesan” tastes like breadcrumbs...

Absolutely delicious. Its so refreshing to have a meal where everything exceeds your expectation. I had the pasta with eggplant and it was delectable. My wife had the veal and is was yummy. The salad was succulent. Dinner was $75 for the two of us which seemed very reasonable. Perfection.

Magnia e Bevi in Rose Bay is a fantastic Italian spot run by brothers John and Peter, who bring over 30 years of experience. The wood-fired pizza was excellent – light, flavourful dough with fresh toppings – and the pasta was full of rich flavour with great texture. Service was friendly and attentive, and the ambience was warm and welcoming. Great value for the quality – highly recommended, and we’ll be back!

We were there for an early dinner, but complete disappointment. They served a dish called carbonara... with half cooked onions which crunched between your teeth and the amount of oil it had is it just ridiculous. Pass...There are way more nicer places than this "Italian" one. Let the images speak for itselves. More

Cannot fault the service, super attentive, welcoming, all round a laid back and homely atmosphere. The variety on the menu makes choosing difficult. The pizza was authentic and piping hot, while the pastas were refreshingly savourable and large. Thanks for a wonderful and memorable evening. More

A perfect Margherita pizza 👌🤌🍕 I mean it. Cannot be improved on. Leaves you satisfied but sad that it's over. Worth 6 stars easy. Also, the staff were awesome, the price was great and the vibe there was really inviting. Made me wish I could stay and eat there. … More

Pleasant dining experience with Great food. On my recent visit, I had the pleasure of trying two standout dishes: the prawn pizza and the homemade gnocchi. The woodfire prawn pizza's crust is thin and crispy, & the prawns are generously sized. Best Italian food in the Rose Bay - thanks guys for a nice night

Great dinner at Mangia e Bevi. We were a group of 8 adults for dinner, the table was prepared quickly and service was good.
We had a mix of pizza, pasta and salads to share and everything was very good. The best plate was the gnocchi with napoletana sauce.
Only item that was a let down was the garlic bread.

We’ve been going to Mangia Bevi on New South Head Rd, Rose Bay for years — at least three times a week! They’ve been part of the community for over 10 years, and it’s easy to see why. The food is always fresh, delicious, and perfect for those nights when you don’t have time to cook.
It’s run by a beautiful Lebanese family, and Natalie, the manager, always greets us with a big smile and goes above and beyond to impress. Their pizzas are the best, their pasta is amazing, and you absolutely have to try their incredible Dubai pizza for dessert — it’s unforgettable!
Highly recommend this gem to anyone who loves great food and friendly service. 💗
