Mangia Mangia Reviews: |
When you
walk in, the
smell of
garlic makes
your mouth
water. One
of the two
Sicilian
brothers
greets you
at the door.
The place is
a typical
mom and pop
restaurant,
nothing too
flashy other
than the
plasma flat
screen
playing tour
videos of
Italy.
The menu has
the basics
but the
daily
specials
posted on
the wall are
of interest,
as well. I
had a rolled
swordfish
stuffed with
an eggplant
mixture with
a citrus
sauce, my
wife had the
salmon with
a creamy
pesto
sauce(mmmm).
The serving
staff are
always
willing to
give you
great
suggestions
on the menu.
Good value,
quality
food. |

| Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind, authentic Italian restaurant, owned and operated by two brothers from Sicily. Giuseppe and Pietro Cefalu have been making waves in Huntington Beach for years now. |
While the setting and the site are casual, the food is classic Italian and the service warm and friendly. The Cefalus proudly serve only the freshest seafood (selected daily), an array of pastas with mouthwatering sauces, as well as signature eggplant dishes and a famous calamari fritti.
This bustling favorite with locals is sure to please. Reservations are recommended for parties of four or more. |

Italy, the Cefalu

In the
early 1980's the
brothers brought
their authentic
Italian cuisine to
America, Giuseppe
working on the West
Coast, until finally
opening Mangia
Mangia in 1987. |
