Best Historic Restaurants in Hawthorne / Gardena

Our server was just wonderful. Very friendly and efficient. The food was good and you really cannot beat the view. We were seated at a table by the window and the surf was lighted so we could see the waves washing up. Really a lovely experience.

Still the great quality food and service that have made this a Manhattan Beach mainstay for over 2 decades. The diver scallops were perfectly seared, the bolognese just perfect, huge chicken Parm portion to satisfy our hungry 23-year-old. Perhaps best of all, Mangiamo offers a tasteful and relaxing atmosphere, which is becoming too rare among the many "high energy" restaurants that try to be loud to invoke a sense of "the scene". Keep up the good work!

My family and I went to Somerville on Saturday, Jan 5th and we had an amazing experience. Our server was Hassan and he was very knowledgeable, helpful and had an amazing personality. He joked around with us which made our experience not only enjoyable but real! We began our evening with adult beverages( Love Supreme, Nature Boy, Dunbar and a Golden Age) I am extremely picky about my drink and will send it back in a heartbeat if its not right. No problem here. Mine was the Love Supreme and it was perfect! Everyone was happy with their selection and they were not shy with the amount of liquor that was added. For dinner, we ordered the Parker Rolls, Oysters, Collard Greens Lasagna, Brussel Sprouts, Mary's Organic Roasted Chicken, Chicory Crab Salad, and Somerville Burgers. I sampled everything, but the unanimous favorites were the Parker Rolls and the Collard Greens Lasagna. Be prepared for a 20% tip to automatically be included ( we were a party of 4) I didn't mind this because the service was superb and I would have tipped 20% anyway. We will be back for sure!

Awesome experience ! Love coming here ! Food is always on point ! Staff amazing !!

The host and our server were very nice and the service was excellent.
