Mangiare Italiano Ristorante Pizzeria

Sweetheart had been away and, as soon as he returned, we took the opportunity to go out for a date... have a drink, sit down to dinner and talk on a late summer afternoon. It was so good.

I chose this new Italian restaurant in Acacias which opened five months ago and is excellent.

Many very nice bars and restaurants seem to have opened recently in Acacias. Is this due to the prestigious companies (banks, interior designers etc.) that have been established there for some time now?  Anyway, the area has become very trendy and friendly...

This restaurant that we tried and liked is another one to join the list of newly opened eating houses. Mangiare Italiano is a sweet and charming Italian restaurant with a delicious menu and a dedication to local Italian produce. It has its own food laboratory for fresh pasta and dough, which always makes me feel very happy.

Here we were served classic Italian dishes with quality products in an elegant environment, different from the other Italian restaurants throughout the city. I would say that their motto is: refinement without fuss.

One thing I liked is the cachet of this restaurant ... There are three well harmonised areas: the bar, the back room and the middle/front room. In summer, you can enjoy the pretty courtyard terrace, as we did that day.

We started by toasting ourselves with an Aperol cocktail (Aperol, prosecco, sparkling water), then our friendly waiter brought us a selection of very tasty Focaccia.

Aperol cocktail - such stunning colours!


For our main courses, Sweetheart had the Spaghetti Alle Vongole, clams, garlic, cherry tomatoes, parsley, hot chili…. 

and I chose the Pizza La Gourmet, ham, buffalo mozzarella and spinach.

This Chocolate Tiramisu was amazing. I devoured it (okay - I did give a tiny spoonful to sweetheart just to taste…)

All the dishes were superb!

After dinner we strolled through Acacias to a bar, where we settled at the counter for a coffee. I adore these end of summer evenings, warm and fresh at the same time, with beautiful street lighting.

    1. You do! It’s such a nice indulgence... Yeah, but with new restaurants popping up seemingly every three months, it’s hard to decide where to go, Luckily, I had a tremendous crush on Mangiare Italiano.
      Thanks Jen,  great hearing from you.
