Mangiare Tu

I Was there with a party of about 40 women last night for a Christmas get together and the Food and service were great! We had a wonderful time and will return! Thank you Lana for a wonderful night with friends.

What a wonderful hidden gem! Lana (mother) and Anthony (son) are the amazing owners, full of charm and devotion to making your dining experience the best. The stupendous food is made to order. The dishes are beautifully presented. Eating on the quaint porch was divine. The desserts were supreme. This is going to be our new favorite restaurant. I love their reservation procedure! Much more personal than using Open Table or Resy. The atmosphere is elegant and classy. Mary Katherine was our charming waitress. We loved going here for dinner with friends on Saturday. They are also scheduled to have a Frank Sinatra singer. Can't wait to go back!

The food was exceptionally delicious presentation was beautiful and the service was top-notch!!!
We had a large party of 40 which logistically was very difficult to handle such a large crowd at once but Lana the owner made sure that everyone was served in a timely manner and made sure that everything was just right for us!
I will definitely go back with my boyfriend for a nice romantic dinner... looking forward to it...

Went for my wives birthday dinner with a party of 11. From the moment we walked in to when we left, everything was perfect. Food, service and atmosphere was the best. Can’t wait to go back.

What a hidden gem! Food was so delicious and the portions were just perfect. We found this spot accidentally. The hostess was kind enough to find us a table even though we didn't have a reservation. It's intimate, it's authentic and everything you want from an Italian restaurant. We literally enjoyed every bite. They're B.Y.O.B. for those of us who enjoy some wine with dinner. If you haven't been here definitely go!

I attended an event last night with at Mangiare tu with a large group of women. Everything was Delicious! The waitress were so nice and very accommodating. And the owner is super sweet and couldn’t do enough for us. I highly recommend it! Love that it’s a Byob

Wow wow wow! I don't normally go out of my way to leave a review but I had to. My family was there for my sister's birthday the other night. I couldn't believe how good the food was!! The staff was beyond friendly and made my Sister's birthday a great time! Everyone in our group enjoyed their food immensely!! Thanks again. This little hidden 💎 I was so happy my family found it.

Went with a large group of women and had a phenomenal time. The food was off the charts…Delicious!
Waitress staff was wonderful and the owner came out and talked to everybody, beautiful local spot to get delicious Italian food -highly recommend!!!

What a gem in the heart of Bradley Beach! An intimate and beautiful restaurant with the most attentive and kind staff! Feels like you are visiting family. The food is delicious! Don’t sleep on the artichoke francais appetizer! It’s a must!

An excellent dining experience overall. The food was just perfect- felt like a good home cooked meal- no frills, decent and delicious. Its a family owned business and the owners (a mother- daughter duo) were so inviting and kind. The tiramisu is a must have! We are definitely going back!

The owner is a sweetheart. Since coming back to New Jersey, I must say this is the best Italian I’ve had so far. 4.9 rating is selling this place short. Should be 5 stars across the board.

I ordered a few trays for Thanksgiving dinner. The owner and staff were very lovely to work with. Food was plentiful, fresh, and delish.

Small Italian Restaurant, BYOB, food was served hot. The chef came out to mix with the customers. I had Penne Vodka with chicken excellent, my friend had Berkshire Pork Sicilian, excellent. Will be back.

We’ve been dining here for several years. Consistency is everything and whether Lana (chef/owner) is featuring a regular menu item or a new creation, she hits the mark…every time.
A few favorites; Artichoke franchise (anything with their franchise sauce is perfection). The Bolognese, Salmon, Meatballs, Chard Caesar are always great. Newer item on the menu ‘The Beef’ — a braised short rib served over cheesy polenta— is insane! The baked clams remind me of my family’s recipe; made with delicious, fresh ingredients.
You’ll come for the food and will stay for the ambiance. The dining room has a great vibe and you can easily hear the conversation at your table (rare these days).
This knowledge, solid staff truly understand how to create a memorable dining experience. This is the place!

So I kind of stumbled upon this gem of a restaurant with some friends and I’m glad we did. We had a 6pm reservation and we’re greeting by the owner’s daughter - what a refreshing treat to have such a personable person wait on our table. We ordered the broccoli rabe sausage and artichoke francese as appetizers, both were excellent. I had the ribeye steak and it was amazing, cooked perfectly as ordered. I also got to try the bolognese, which was also excellent. Beyond the food, the atmosphere is nice - they play great background music and the dining room is quaint and comfortable. Beyond the great experience of food and atmosphere, we had the privilege of great service by our server and her mom, the owner. If you want to go back to the days of good old fashioned quality dining, this is the joint. We will be back.

It was one of the best restaurant experiences I had. The warmth of the people working at the restaurant made us feel at home. The food was so cozy and homely. The appetizers and dessert were outstanding. The portion sizes were huge for the entrees. Would love to back to this beautiful beach town restaurant.

Have you ever walked away from an excellent dining experience and remarked on how cozy the restaurant was, how it felt like you were in someone's home? Come to Mangiare Tu and be welcomed by chef & proprietor, Lana & her amazing staff. The home-cooked food, ambiance & walk-away experience will keep you coming back to this Bradley Beach hidden gem. And ask about her cook book to bring the magic back to your home!

I stumbled on this Bradley Beach gem on Instagram. When I scrolled through the pictures on their page I knew I had to try it and boy am I glad I did. In the few weeks since my discovery, I've gone several times with my wife and with friends and no one has had a bad meal. In fact, each experience has been wonderful. The food is fantastic. My favorite dish is a simple one: chicken parmigiana. The matriarch running this wonderful establishment, Mom a/k/a Lana, has been serving up delicious Italian cuisine for years, and it shows. On a recent visit, she took the time to explain her "secret" in prepping the chicken. Yummmm! Try the artichokes francais and the meatballs. Fantastic! On my most recent visit, I was awarded with a slice of heaven, daughter Sunny's upside down grapefruit blood orange cake. Scrumptious!!! Don't believe me? Go try for yourself. And.....the new fall menu, which Lana shared for me, goes into effect October 5th. Sorry I can't talk about it - Lana swore me to secrecy. And....the service is incredible too! Hats off to Lana and company. 💕

The Jewel of the Jersey Shore!!!! My husband and I visited on October 19th for our 20th Anniversary and it was definitely worth the trip from Staten Island. Staff was extremely pleasant and hospitable . The atmosphere was cozy and warm. The food was beyond amazing and portions are very generous. What really captured the experience, the Chef comes out from the kitchen and speaks to his clients and asks how was everything. That's something you don't see in any restaurant today. I will definitely be back for more!!!!!

Lana is the best thing to hit This NJ town, and her food is to Die For!! Wait staff is on point and is always there to tend to your needs. All I can say is if you haven't tried this place then you really need to get a move on it and get a reservation. You wouldn't be disappointed
