Though the consensus today is that pasta existed in Italy for hundreds of years before Marco Polo returned to Venice in the late thirteenth century, the explorer did bring many other things to Italy for the first time.

Mangia marks its 25th anniversary. Guests will enjoy quality Italian cuisine, sounds of troubadours and lots of laughter to revel in the restaurant’s silver anniversary as the Mantuanos remember their father. The evening will feature flashbacks to the past with Eugene Mantuano’s favorite foods and drinks, a unique Silver anniversary menu and a VIP "toast to dad" with specially selected silver wines. In addition to a terrific party, the goal of the evening is to raise $50,000 to support the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in its research and patient services efforts.
