Mangia Tutto

About the restaurant

Mangia Tutto features both Chicago “Deep Dish,” the perceived Chicago-style pizza; as well as, thin crust square cut “Tavern Style” pizza. As native Chicagoans we will tell you while we relished the occasional “Deep Dish” pizza, they were often only enjoyed on special occasions. The thin crust pie is the true “Chicago Pizza” readily available in any Chicago neighborhood.

David’s grill is the best! Many of us go there frequently for breakfast meetings, lunch meetings, dinners or spontaneous occasions. The staff and servers are always great and the food is good, too. It’s a great local sitdown restaurant with great atmosphere and people.

I this was our first time visiting this restaurant. We shared a flight of craft beer which was really nice. We got to choose which six we wanted to try. My husband had the Porchetta sandwich and I had the fish, shrimp,and chips. The Porchetta sandwich was definitely one to try!!! The breading on the fish and shrimp was a little too thick and soggy for my liking. We definitely would like to go back though and try another dish. And we really enjoyed the ambience.

The Nuggets Oyster Bar has always been one of my favorite restaurants. The food and service are both excellently, friendly and profession. The ambience has always been something I enjoy as I love nautical themes. Also Open table is the only way to go, very easy and efficient.
