We are sad to share the news that, after 18 years of being one of West Vancouver's favourite restaurants, Mangia E Bevi Ristorante will be closing its doors. Their last day of service will be New Years Eve. If you’d like to enjoy one last delicious Italian meal, please be sure to call ahead and make a reservation. They’ll also be offering special wine features throughout the entire month of December.

Be sure to call early to secure your holiday reservation! If you have a group that would prefer a Christmas lunch, contact Doug at 604-922-8333 to make arrangements.

A huge thank you to Doug, Rob, and the entire Mangia e Bevi family for the many years of food, wine, and for being such wonderful community members! ❤️

After 18 unforgettable years, Mangia e Bevi will be closing its doors on January 1st.

From day one, our mission was simple — bring a piece of Italy to West Vancouver. What we didn’t expect was how many incredible memories, friendships, and shared moments would come with it.

To everyone who has sat at our tables, celebrated milestones with us, supported us through every season, and became part of our Mangia E Bevi family — thank you. You’ve made this journey one we will never forget.

As we approach our final month, December reservations are filling up faster than ever. If you’d like to join us one more time, we’d love to serve you.

With gratitude,
Doug & Rob
Mangia E Bevi 🇮🇹❤️
