Renowned for the impeccable fresh homemade pasta and made-from-scratch, herb-spiked sauces, this cozy trattoria is one of Key West’s favorite restaurants and serves up simple, full flavors that are intoxicatingly good. One of our most favorite pasta dishes is their Rigatoni with Jumbo Shrimp. When you’re not savoring it at Mangia Mangia, you can make it right at home.
