New fave restaurant! - Edit
Not sure why it took me so long to get here, but now that I have tasted the pure deliciousness that is Mangiafoglie, I will go back as often as I can. 😋
Read moreAfter a short wait (we could have sat immediately at the counter in front of the wood fired pizza oven, but chose to wait for a table), we were seated by a very friendly server. The ambiance is beautiful - comfortable, clean, tastefully appointed. 🤗
And the food! Oh my gosh the food. We started with a special appetizer, which was pâté and caviar on crusty bread - divine! ☺️
Then we split the salchicha & pesto pizza with cherry tomatoes. It was a true flavor explosion! And the pizza crust is probably the best I’ve ever had. 🍕
We also split the gnocchi with pine nuts which was tangy and inventive - I’m a gnocchi snob, and this was some fantastic gnocchi. 🍝
Finally, we had the olive oil cake - unreal!!! Served warm, with hints of cardamom, with walnuts, blueberries, and creamy ice cream. 🍰
And the red wine (an Italian import) was particularly crisp and refreshing, paired perfectly with the food. 🍷
Although I hesitate to recommend it too highly because I’m selfish and don’t want to have to wait for a table, I nevertheless give it my highest recommendation! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Do yourself a favor and check it out sooner than later. 😎
Pros: The food, The service, The ambiance

Elevated Italian vegan - Edit
All I knew going in was vegan Italian, was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and coffee.
Read moreMy husband and I shared a full meatball sandwich for $25, but each half is definitely sufficient for one person and it’s on the most delicious bread.
We also tried the potato salad, excellent and fresh. Even though I haven’t eaten there in over 10 years for some reason it reminded me of Bottega Louie in downtown LA.
The olive oil cake and oat milk cappucino were also excellent.
They made some plain butter farfalle for our picky 5 year old, it was perfectly al dente and he liked it, had to stop myself from eating it all.
On the way out I saw someone eating a caesar salad that looked great, hoping to go back soon to try it.
The servers were friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable.
Pros: Food, Service, Ambience

A gem - Edit
The food is special (we got the meatball sandwich, potato salad and olive oil cake for dessert — all excellent). The service is friendly and the atmosphere is as pleasant as you could ask for. Worth a drive from LA to Long Beach.

Run don’t walk!! - Edit
This place was so incredible!! We tried 5 dishes and all of them were so tasty. We tried the polpette (meatballs), tricolore salad, patate e pesto pizza, strozzapreti and lasagna (not pictured). The polpette were very flavorful and juicy, didn’t feel like impossible meat at all. The pizza was fresh and airy with an interesting (but huge win) use of potatoes. The strozzapreti was our favorite, a spicy pasta with sausage. The lasagna was so good we ate it before grabbing a photo.
Read moreNo reservations, were seated pretty quickly on a Saturday at 6pm but if we had arrived 5-10 min later the place was packed and would’ve had to wait for a table. Easy enough street parking.

Exceeded our expectations!! - Edit
We had heard so much about Mangiafoglie and oh my god, it exceeded our expectations. The food is plate licking good!! Everything is made in house and from the scratch including their sauces. If you read their menu, everything is of high quality, for example their gnocchi is made from purple potatoes, not just the regular potatoes and their pizza base looked brownish than the regular whitish base, so I am assuming that it was not made up of refined flour. One of the best pizzas that we ever had in life. Highly recommend the “CAPRICCIOSA”. The flavors were on spot.
Read moreVery polite and friendly staff. They have high chair too. They have plates that are over 100 years old, if you look at the back of the plates, it kind of tells you a story leading up to your imagination. I thought it was so cool.
This place has a nice, positive vibe. They were packed and it was just the mid-week today, not the weekend! We had to wait just a little bit before getting seated. You could expect a slight delay in the food arrival if they are jam-packed. But be assured that the food is not going to disappoint you at all.
They work like a coffee shop in the morning hours. We had ordered a lot of things and absolutely loved their lemon cake, Focaccia and the Marzipan latte. Hence, we had to surely go back there for dinner. Went on a Tuesday evening , lol that’s the only evening when they are closed. So, we went back today again and very glad to have this rich experience. 🥰
I must say that Mangiafoglie is definitely one of the top restaurants that Long Beach has! Our two year old picky toddler approved the food too. He kept saying, yummy, so good. He was so happy after dinner. Seriously, I can just go on and on about how good the food and service was!
And, we will be definitely visiting them again and again for sure.
Vegans - guess what, their entire menu is plant based so indulge blindly in any of the items. 😀
Non-vegans, believe me you will not notice any difference because the food is just sooooo good.
Pros: Yummy, flavorful food, Very polite and friendly staff, Kid-friendly
