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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Great atmosphere with excellent service. Food lacked some taste, though, and the GF pasta was a bit “gummy” for lack of a better word.

Large portions and appeared celiac safe, but so-so taste on the GF chicken Alfredo.

They have gluten free brown rice spaghetti. The pasta was starchy and better cut up but it was still amazing. There’s not many places where you can get homemade GF pasta! GF chicken parm was amazing with GF breadcrumbs. Would totally dine here again!

Kids had homemade pasta, I had chicken parm. My youngest, who is a very sensitive celiac, ate the chicken parm with me and no reaction!! Its pricey. But if you want pasta, go!

Food was great! I had the seafood scampi with the rice noodles, it was light. I think Ill try the chicken parmesean next time. My husband got the lobster pasta and a friend got the crab fettuccine. They said were amazing too!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

If you are craving authentic, freshly made Italian-treat yourself to this place. Fresh, wonderful ingredients. No desserts however. Have an espresso!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Food was good, they claim to make their own quinoa and brown rice pasta, hard time believing that, but it was good. Did not have bread to offer gluten free :(

There was not much Gf choices. They claim it’s homemade but it’s pizzeria food. Not impressed at all.
