Mangia Bene Cucina - Laguna Niguel

I ordered the pesto pasta with only chicken and they out asparagus cuts in the pasta. My son is allergic to asparagus. When I contacted the manager Regi he was extremely kind and apologetic and offered me a refund or a remake of the pasta and told me to come by any time Saturday or Sunday. I called Sunday and spoke to Victor and he was extremely rude, cocky and didn?t care, regardless of the fact I had pictures with the time stamp for proof. His customer service was awful. I asked to speak to someone higher than him and they offered me no options. Now I have to wait to 3+ more days to speak with Regi again. I feel bad for the employees that have to deal with Victor. I can?t imagine how he is to work for, let alone deal with. Hopefully this gets resolved professionally as it should, since this is a medical matter as well with my son.

Probably one the best meals I've had in a while. Frutti de mare! I added calamari ! Great Job cooks!

So we were in a crunch between soccer tournament games on father's day and needed a meal right now. I grabbed the first thing with available seating from open table. I normally don't go anywhere without hours of research first. Anyway, they had a very nice location with plenty of places to park. The seating was well laid out and they say our party of 8 right away. The service was attentive and friendly. Now, food wise, I've had better Italian food, but everything across the board over 8 people was above average and everyone had a great time. I got the ravioli do zucca. It listed brown sugar in the ingredients on the menu so I was expecting a sweeter ravioli but it was mostly a savory dish. I thought it went pretty well with the pine nuts. My wife loved the chicken panini she got. The iced tea was also pretty great. Service was swift, and we were in an our just in time to get to the game. What an unexpected treat.

The Calamari appetizer was perfectly baked, seasoned and fried. My gluten Free Pepperoni Pizza was appalling, and I managed to eat two slices that left two slices for lunch today. The pizza had a delicate crust and mozzarella was fresh, it was not from a package. Can't wait to return to their pastas! Update 2021: Today I ordered the Taglio Salad, gluten-free pepperoni pizza and the lasagna. The salad was fresh, delicious; and the peppers melt in the mouth! The pizza was perfect, either the right amount of cheese vs. crust and pepperoni. Now the lasagna.... This is the lasagna that your Italian grandmother would make for dinner in her kitchen. Don't you have an Italian grandmother?? Try Mangia Bene for this genuine homemade Italian food!

My family was inaugurated on Saturday, October 1st at 7 pm in Managua Benne Cucina, Laguna Niguel. We sat in the right corner of the restaurant. My two kids got spaghetti with meat sauce. My older daughter, age 8, sent it back because she said it tastes bad. I tasted it, and it was a little off. They replaced them with Marinara. My younger daughter, 5 years old, ate her spaghetti. One hour later she threw on her bed and carpet. I spent all Saturday night care for them and clean up the disgusting, gloomy smell. She was fine when all spaghetti came from her. We called the restaurant this morning, October 2 and spoke with Reggie, which was EXTREMELY rude. He only offered to reimburse my daughter $10. Unacceptable! I post this review to advise other cartridges and will call the Orange County Health Inspector on Monday. Zero stars.
