About Mangia e Bevi

Rose Bay’s Mangia e Bevi turns out blistered wood-fired pizzas and house pastas in a dining room run with genuine warmth. Brothers John and Peter anchor the floor, greeting walk-ins and big family tables like long-time friends. The kitchen rolls out thin, hand-stretched bases with a crisp crust, loaded with prawns or fresh buffalo mozzarella. Plates of gnocchi napoletana arrive steaming hot alongside bowls of fettuccine boscaiola, followed by warm squares of sticky date pudding.

  • Wood-fired thin crust pizza: Thin, hand-stretched bases baked crisp in the wood oven and topped with fresh ingredients like prawns or buffalo mozzarella.
  • Hands-on hospitality: Brothers John and Peter personally run the dining room, welcoming big family gatherings, young kids, and spontaneous walk-ins.
