Their Mangia Mangia journey began when the two returned to Beni’s native Italy in 2014, where they ate their way around every back street and corner of his vibrant home town, Gallipoli. Back in Brisbane, unable to leave their food adventures behind, Beni and Sammy decided to bring the traditional dishes from the south of Italy to the Australian lifestyle and serve it up with a little character. And so, they hit the road, flung open the window of their van and Mangia Mangia Street Goods was born.

For Beni and Sammy, eating is essential to any good time, they take the staples of great Italian food and mix it with the best ingredients of Australian lifestyle. Mangia Mangia is a celebration of community, festivals, outdoor living and fun. Share in the goods, be a part of the adventure and Mangia – Eat!

RUBY the LITTLE RED ICE CREAM VAN

A Darling Affair 17/11/2015 0 Comments

Life is sweet when you have your own ice cream truck.

It was love at first sight when Sam and Rosanna laid eyes on an original 1973 Bedford Morrison ice cream van. Built in Southampton, England for the sole purpose of serving ice cream, they knew that it was a match made in sticky-sweet heaven. After having her freighted over from the UK, fitting her out and naming her, Ruby the Little Red Ice Cream Van officially launched in April 2015.

Ruby’s vintage look and Sam’s amazing ice creams do not disappoint. Being a qualified European Pastry Cook with twenty two years experience, Sam’s love of ice cream has seen him specialise in the tasty treat for over eight years.

Be sure to visit this sweet business at our next Brisbane Wedding Festival being held on January 30th, 2016. Hosted by the Brisbane Racing Club, it will be a day that you won’t want to miss!

For more information on Ruby and her charming owners, visit Ruby the Little Red Ice Cream Van on their website or find them on Facebook. And a big thank you to Jess Jackson Photographer for the delightful images of Ruby.
