Mangia e Bevi
Specialties Mangia e Bevi is a truly authentic Italian restaurant. The menu was inspired by Tore's grandmother and mother. The same dishes that were prepared for Tore as a child are now recreated for you to enjoy. Mangia e Bevi provides you the same cuisine as if you were sitting at a sidewalk cafe in Italy. History Established in 2018. Mangia e Bevi was created through the vision and experience of two individuals. Tore Trupiano and Ann Perham. Tore has a lifelong pedigree of restaurants starting way back in 1971 when his parents opened their first restaurant on the northwest side of Chicago. Ann was raised with strong Italian customs and classic Italian dishes prepared by her mother. In 2012 Ann was hired at our other Oceanside location, Dominic's Italian restaurant. Ann's attention to detail, increasing wine knowledge, and strive for excellent customer service proved to showcase her next chapter in life. In 2017 Tore and Ann began talk of possibly opening a new location together. Shortly after the building where Mangia is now became available. Without hesitation they agreed it would be the perfect location. Mangia has been accepted by the community with open arms. Our vision is to only provide authentic Italian food, locally sourced ingredients, and a true Italian experience.
