Top rate food, wine and service!
Great food, great service. A must in Cuenca
Nice
All over the place. Mangiare Bene has a nice ambiance, modern business-casual (blue jeans OK, but you're underdressed) on the Friday night we visited. Easy-listening rock was piped at low volume, and holding converstion at a natural voice level was easy. Service was good, by uniformed waiters. We had pasta. Mangiare Bene uses (and explains) special code names (e.g. ravioli, agnolotti, etc.) for styles of stuffed pasta to distinguish what the filling is (e.g. ricotta or meat or mushrooms or etc.); in north america all would just be called "ravioli". IMHO this is a nice, practical manner to make ordering simpler. Anyway, let me premise that my bar for Italian food is very high (I was raised there); well, my impression follows. My order was overdone, the sleeves of the pockets holding the stuffing were too thick, and the sauce was way too watery. Very, very disappointing; I suppose this place caters to a different taste. On the good side, we ordered trilogy of mousse for dessert, comprising small servings of lime, kiwi, and chocolate mousse. Wereas the lime and kiwi were compentent, the chocolate musse was exceptional. Would be worth visiting just for that niblet of delight. Stay away from the stuffed pasta, unless you disagree with my preferences.
Es un lugar agradable y tranquilo la comida nos gusto mucho!
Had to get doggie bags for both our meals. Oh so delicious and you can mix and match everything. Great food and service plus medium prices. Would recommend for normal or special dining
Nice ambiance, fabulous food and service. We came with friends who had eaten there many times. food and mixed drinks are very reasonable as well as excellent. More Cuencanos than extranjeros, which is always a good sign.
