How on earth do I translate this? Is it a fruit cocktail or something like that?
Thanks for any help!

Thanks for your suggestions! The client was happy with "sundae" - see this link http://www.purityicecream.com/sundae.htm!

It's served in a "mangia e bevi" dish/bowl/glass!!! Sorry no context - I've written to the customer. Where I live a "mangia e bevi" is a mega ice-cream and fruit concoction that replaces a meal! In my day they were called Ice Cream Sundaes!!!

it really depends...do you have any context?

Mangia e bevi is usually fruit & ice-cream, or fruit and drink in the same large glass

I have often seen "combo" on menus... just a suggestion :-)

Italian term (edited): mangia e bevi

"Drink your Fruit"

I agree witrh Daniela as far as the definition of "Mangia e Bevi" is concerned, but I have never seen "Combo" related to something to drink.

I would translate it, depending to the context, with either "fruit and juice/drink" or "fruit and ice-cream"...

or maybe "Drink your Fruit"???? :-)
Just a suggestion, though!
