Eat! Eat!

When I was growing up, my grandmother used to say "Manga. Manga" or "Mangia. Mangia" or "Mangi. Mangi" to tell everyone to Eat! Eat! when we sat down to meals. Unfortunately, I never learned the language. So, how do you say Eat! Eat! (meaning eat dinner) in Italian?
Proposed translations (Italian)

See the enclosed link and take into account that the verb MANGIARE is from the 1st. conjugation (berbs terminated in -ARE).
