Mangia Mangia In the Spotlight
Highly Recommended — "Fresh homemade pasta comes alfredo, or with marinara, meat, or pesto, either in the twinkly brick garden with its specimen palms, or in the nicely dressed-up, old-house dining room. One of the best restaurants in Key West — and one of its best values ... Everything that comes out of the open kitchen is outstanding, especially the pasta."
“One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.”
- Virginia Woolf
