Mangia Bene Cucina - Laguna Niguel

I visited this restaurant for lunch on a Saturday and was immediately seated. Our server attended to us promptly and we had a variety of great menu options to choose from. We ended up ordering 4 dishes, including an appetizer and a kids' meal. The calamari was tender and the portion size was generous. The clams in the pasta dish were also plentiful, as were the portions of everything else we ordered. The meal was so delicious that we were too full for dessert. The atmosphere was lovely - a nice sit-down restaurant with a relaxed vibe. The servers were attentive and our food came out quickly.

The service was polite and the food was delicious. We dined in for dinner and the price per person ranged from $50 to $100. The food received a rating of 4, the service a 5, and the atmosphere a 4. We highly recommend trying the Salmon Paradiso dish.

What a wonderful place! They have happy hour every day, from 1-6pm. Unfortunately, we missed it this time. I ordered the Rigatoni Norcina and it was absolutely delicious. The flavors were fantastic and the ratio of meat to veggies to pasta was perfect. The leftovers were just as good. My dad ordered the Linguini Tutto Mare and I almost liked it better than my own dish. The shrimp were large and juicy with a nice spicy kick that I loved. They also provide free unlimited toasted garlic bread and you can take a fresh bag to go. It's a great spot for a casual date, not too fancy but just right. Overall, a really wonderful experience. Loved it!

I am writing this review because my experience at the bar tonight was amazing. The martini I had was exceptional, possibly the best I've ever had. The cioppino was outstanding. One thing that impressed me was that the prices were reasonable, even though I haven't been here in over a year. Keep up the good work!

This is hands down the best lasagna I have ever had! We also sampled the lobster ravioli, which was delicious as well. They have a great selection of cocktails, and parking is convenient. This restaurant is perfect for a dinner outing, with prices ranging from $20 to $30 per person. The food, service, and atmosphere all receive top marks from me. I highly recommend trying the lasagna!
