For Italian Cuisine: Mangia Mangia Mobile

For Italian food lovers, Mangia Mangia Mobile is a one-stop shop for freshly prepared gourmet pastas, meatballs, Italian sandwiches, pizza burgers, and more. This authentic Italian food truck was featured on The Cooking Channel’s Eat St. and ABC’s The Chew. With their tasty food and friendly service, these Italians will have you and your crew coming back for more. The lobster ravioli and short rib lasagna are two of their most popular items, and kids will go crazy for the Italian lollipops- meatballs on a stick that are tempura fried and served with marinara dipping sauce. Prices range from $7-12 per entrée. Make sure you save room for dessert because Mangia Mangia Mobile also offers homemade cannolis and tiramisu that are to die for. Follow them on Facebook for up-to-date location information, including weekly appearances at Food Truck Thursdays in Scripps Ranch.
