Mangia Mangia

Key West


On a peaceful stretch of Southard St, Mangia Mangia cooks up fresh pastas, made in-house from scratch, paired with delicacies such as mixed seafood, lobster and sea scallops (there's also grilled fish and meat dishes). The comfy setting has an old-school vibe, with wood-paneled walls and tropical paintings, though you can also dine in the pleasant side garden.
