    It’s always a treat to dine @ Manninos. Diane, our server was attentive and friendly as usual. Our meals were delicious and the gelato for dessert was an unexpected treat. Already looking forward to the next time. Thanks for always being consistent; much appreciated!

    I felt the food was a bit over rated, for the price. Don’t go if you’re feeling hungry - service was extremely slow, waitress seemed a bit overwhelmed and consequently I feel like our orders were delayed because of her delay in submitting them. Noise level seemed a bit higher than other places I’ve eaten, for the same level of activity. This was my first time visiting. Might give it another try again after summer season. I’ll be sure to get an earlier reservation so I’m not going when I’m hungry.

    We went on a Monday evening for dinner. We had the Crabtini, French onion soup and the roasted garlic antipasti (my fav). The food was very fresh and everything was delicious. Cocktails were good as well. Manino’s is my go to for good Italian food!

    Another fabulous dining experience at Mannino's. Seated before our reservation time and quickly provided iced water as we perused the menu's. Having been repeat customers we have our favorites. He always orders the Chicken Parmesan which is a large portion and arrives dripping in their homemade mozzarella cheese. Cooked to perfection! I ordered the Manicotti with a side of sausage. The manicotti portion was huge, enough for 2 people to share. Seems like they have a new sausage recipe which was fabulous. Topped off our meal with a specialty coffee "The Mannino" which was just the perfect end to a great meal. Our waiter was very attentive. Mannino's is our "go-to" celebration restaurant, and it never disappoints. One tip I would give someone new - if you can make an earlier in the night reservation as the restaurant fills up quickly. As all food is cooked to order, be sure you are not in a hurry. Bravo Mannino's!!
