About the restaurant
Mangia Tutto features both Chicago “Deep Dish,” the perceived Chicago-style pizza; as well as, thin crust square cut “Tavern Style” pizza. As native Chicagoans we will tell you while we relished the occasional “Deep Dish” pizza, they were often only enjoyed on special occasions. The thin crust pie is the true “Chicago Pizza” readily available in any Chicago neighborhood.

The food is fantastic and the staff is friendly. The meat comes to the table so fast you can’t keep up. The chicken stroganoff, scalloped potatoes, and mushroom risotto are incredible. I’ve been to Churrasco a dozen times now and I will be back. 10/10 highly recommend!
