MANGIA BENE – Italian
The slice is the point at Mangia Bene in Cape Coral — New York style, wide enough to fold, cheese stretching most of the way back to the counter. Past the pizza there is pasta, hot sandwiches, salads and the usual run of starters, priced for a family Tuesday rather than an occasion. This is a neighbourhood pizzeria trading on consistency: same crust, same portions, same faces behind the register. Customers keep mentioning how much food arrives and how quickly the staff learn an order. Lunch, dinner, or a box carried out to the car.
