Homemade GF pasta was very good! Our Celiac family enjoyed the Alfredo Chicken, asparagus side, Chicken Parm, Mahi Mahi, and Pasta w/Meat Sauce. No belly issues and great variety of GF offerings if you like pasta and/or seafood.
Very impressed. I had the gf lobster linguine. It was incredible. I could have licked the bowl. My only complaint is they do not serve GF bread or offer GF dessert. I do highly recommended. The gf homemade pasta is amazing.
The best Italian food! So many choices that they could make gluten and dairy free! I had chicken Parmesan for the first time in a restaurant. I might also add it was Valentine’s Day and we usually stay home due to cross contamination.

Had the gluten-free fettuccine and Alfredo with chicken. So good! And wait staff asked if it was a preference or allergy giving me a chance to note I’m extremely celiac allergic.
They have homemade gluten free pasta here that is handled better than most Italian places. My celiac husband did not have a reaction. I also recommend the chicken Parmesan made with GF flour! GF items are clearly marked on the menu.
I was able to eat gluten free chicken parmesan for the first time in a long time. They make their own gluten free noodles and boil them in separate water from the standard pasta. It was delicious and I didn't get sick. My husband shared my meal with me and he thought it was delicious as well.
I had the alfredo and home made pasta! which was DELICOUS !!!!!! so good
Absolutely delicious chicken parm and pasta. Staff was knowledgeable about changing gloves and not putting bread on my plate. The best GF chicken parm and pasta I’ve had in a restaurant by far!! Only downside would be no GF bread or dessert but I’d rather have the delicious main course options!! Ate here two days in a row and was not disappointed! I cannot recommend this enough for fellow Celiacs.
Amazing gluten free pasta!!!! My daughter and I both had the creamy marinara. I had mine with shrimp and she had hers with chicken. My husband and son had the regular marinara and both said they would do the creamy next time.
Best gluten free pasta I’ve ever had hands down. I had the Scallop Pasta with pesto Alfredo, and my husband had the seafood scampi. I had some pasta leftover and it heated up excellently the next day. We will definitely be back if we ever go back to Key West! They have one type of gf/egg free pasta, but all of their sauces are gluten free, so the options are endless!
Homemade GF pasta - need we say more?? Very knowledgeable about celiac. GF protein options too to add to the pasta. Recommend!
This was one of the most amazing restaurants I have eaten at as a Celiac. Fresh homemade GF noodles and there are several different kinds. All sauces are gluten free. They are so knowledgeable of everything.
I really wanted to like this place. Ambiance was great, food was tasty and the GF offerings were aplenty. Unfortunately both my wife (Pollo Parmesano) and me (Bollito Misto di Mare) got sick that night and the day afterwards. I’m not sure what happened the night we went but it didn’t work out. Prices were good (seemed like more of a local place). I will try again but last night wasn’t our night.
Delicious gf chicken parm and pasta! No symptoms after. 1 dish was able to be split between my partner and I.
Delicious casual Italian place in Key West. I had a glass of Sauvignon blanc, a house salad and the funghi pasta (tomato, mushroom, spinach, garbanzos with garlicky pesto and feta cheese) with homemade gf noodles. The salad was decent - not spectacular. I would pass on it if I didn’t need to hit my vegetable quota. The pasta was super tasty. Didn’t feel weighed down after eating it. Prices weren’t astronomical but the gf pasta was a 5 dollar upcharge.
They have homemade gluten free noodles and several gf options. I ate here twice while vacationing in Key West. I had the lobster linguine and pasta with creamy marinara and shrimp. Both were delicious! The staff was knowledgeable and ensured me they prepare gf dishes separately. I had no issues. I avoid eating out places that do not have a dedicated gf kitchen as I have had many issues with cross contamination. Traveling is very difficult but have found Key West to have several safe places for me to eat. I will definitely visit Mangia Mangia again in future travels to Key West! I highly recommend to anyone with celiac.
Homemade Gluten Free Pasta! I had to try it while in Key West. So many gluten free options. Even the Chicken Parm is with a gluten free breading. I ended up getting crab Alfredo and added shrimp. Loved this place!
We had a great meal here. The server was very knowledgeable about all the ingredients in the dishes that could be suitable for our dietary needs. My family also has some dairy allergies and told us what to avoid.. GF pasta was awesome! I had the chicken breast with GF fettuccine and marinara sauce. Other family members had seafood trio with pasta and marinara. Everyone was very pleased. Definitely worth checking out.
Homemade gluten free noodles!!!!! So many options! The chicken Marsala is on a gf breading. Absolutely delicious. Amazing service.
We enjoyed the gluten free pasta options. The waitress was knowledgeable on which items were gluten free and ensured that the kitchen was aware to keep the gluten free food separate. We would go back!
Had a great experience. I had the chicken fettuccine and my son had the chicken parm. Very good.
Most everything can be made gluten free. Portions were large. Some items actually use gluten free flour. Food was amazing.
Wonderful house made gluten free fettuccine. I called the waiter over to tell her she made a mistake because that also have spinach fettuccine and mine was white and delicious. Her response was, ‘I get that a lot!’ Get it with the Florida lobster. OMG.
Great GF chicken parm with homemade GF pasta! My only complaint is the lack of GF bread.
best GF fettuccine alfredo i’ve had in my entire life. made me feel so safe and assured me my food would not be cross contaminated!! great service too
Great food! They were knowledgeable and have gf pasta and can make some other dishes. My daughter had a seafood dish with lobster, shrimp and crab in a scampi sauce with a pasta (pappardelle). I had salmon and house salad. Both were delicious and no one got sick. They were not open for lunch when we tried to go back so look for their hours. No dessert or bread available.
When I walked in I asked to talk to the manager because I am a Celiac. She said yes everything was fine for me and sat me down. I asked our waitress what we could have and I started asking all my normal questions. Do you wear gloves? Do you have separate dishes you use? She immediately just started at me rudely and said they don't need to change gloves.....I cancelled my order immediately, they didn't even ask why. Celiacs beware.
Amazing food!!! Delicious gluten free pasta/ chicken Marsala
My Celiac son ordered gluten free pasta and the rest of us ordered gluten containing dinners. Everything was delicious and my son didn't get sick. We were so excited to find a safe place in Key West that we ate there both nights.
We had an excellent dinner and no one got sick! My celiac son was in heaven
This was the best gluten free pasta I ever had. Almost everything can be made gluten free.
Very knowledgeable about what contained gluten! Pasta was made in house and delicious; even got to enjoy some chicken parm which is a luxury
Had GF chicken Parm. Chicken is cooked separately if you tell them you have an allergy. Homemade GF pasta was delicious!
The best gluten free pasta I’ve ever had. The chicken parm was phenomenal. I will be back.
Gluten free pasta available and staff/family understanding of precautions needed.
Delicious meal and had a great time.
They have gluten free pasta, Nima Sensor confirmed it. Need to mention celiac because they might use the same boiling water otherwise. Server was extremely helpful. I am dairy free too and had many choices. Food was good, place was clean, people were nice.
They don't have a dedicated GF menu but the menu does have items marked as GF. They have GF noodles/ pasta (homemade). First time I had GF chicken parmesan, delicious!
Great dinner. Daughter and I shared two dishes, chicken parm and shrimp pasta with pesto. Both were excellent.
Homemade Gf pasta or zucchini noodles can be substituted for pasta in any dish. They cook gf pasta in designated pot. Gf flour used on chicken. It was very easy to have delicious food without gluten. No GF dessert options.
Server was very caring when I asked about the gluten free items on the menu. The rice linguini was awesome. She steered me clear of the bread. It looked amazing, although I couldn’t eat it. The pesto was awesome.
Incredible food, server was knowledgeable and helpful. A little off the beaten path, but completely worth it!
So glad we went a little off the beaten path for this place. Low-key, seems like a favorite for locals, so not touristy. The only pasta option for GF was rice linguine (also egg-free). I had chicken parm (they coat all their chicken in GF flour and pan fry) and subbed Alfredo for my pasta instead of marinara. Pasta was delicious, a little gummy as it cooled off, though. Chicken was amazing, too! Would've been nice to enjoy fresh bread with the others. Felt extremely safe here and was happy to enjoy a delicious, stress-free meal.
I read other reviews about this quaint little place that made their own GF pasta. Our family decided to try it and wow, we were not disappointed. My Celiac son had the chicken Parmesan that had a side of the GF pasta. My husband ordered the lobster - delicious! I had the scallops and it did not disappoint. The staff were friendly and even went through their precautions for those with Celiac Disease. I can’t thank this establishment enough for taking care of our family.
These were hands down the best gluten free noodles I've had. The chicken Parm is incredible... delightfully cheesy and still crisp. W.ow. Great flavor to match in the marinara.
