The food is great and prices are very reasonable. It’s a family business and you feel it which makes the ambiance very kind. Service is perfect. We’ll be back soon! Give it a try and you’ll go back like us!!

Hidden gem! Nondescript from the outside. Minimal decor inside. The food however is top notch! Portions were large. I ordered the gluten-free eggplant pasta dish and it was so delicious! My skinny friend ordered the Aegean shrimp and ate the whole large portion! We'll be back!

Always reliably good. Had the penne melanzane. Perfect for eggplant lovers. Delicious and flavorful. Pairs well with soup or salad, but you won't have room for dessert unless you share this dish with a friend.

We frequent this restaurant, usually, very good, however this evening things were a bit off? Service was lacking, some food came out ice cold, glass of wine was ordered, but never made it to the table, had to ask to have it removed, from the bill. Just didn't hit the mark this evening!

Cute name, not such good food. Very mediocre food. Chicken parmigiana should not be too difficult for an Italian restaurant but a frozen dinner would have been just as good. Small salad served at the same time as entrees makes no sense. Dessert (tortuffo) not made at restaurant but was the highlight of the meal.

We love Manoli Canoli. It is the perfect place for a great authentic meal in a neighborhood restaurant. We were especially pleased with the Spanakopitas which were just like our Aunt Kitty used to make so many years ago. As each person took their first bite of the wonderful spinach pies, they all said, "Oh my, that is so delicious!" The mushroom ravioli was also a star of the evening. To top it off the wait staff was terrific. Thank you for a great meal .

This restaurant is a hidden "hole in the wall" gem. There are no fancy furnishings or expensive lighting or music. This is just a plain and simple casual restaurant with fantastic food at great prices. They serve a mixture of Greek and Italian dishes and all are excellent! The spanikopita is the best in town!

We had a great experience. The service was very attentive and the food came quickly (we had our toddler with us). The house Olive oil is delicious, we took a bottle home too! The restaurant is very casual and there were a lot of people coming in and out picking up take out. It was pretty loud and chaotic but we didn't feel rushed. We will go back.

This is a great little place and the food was great!! They have Italian and Greek food. They also have a refrigerator with some prepared food that you can take home and heat up. There is parking on the side and in the back of the building. There are a few stairs to do if parking in the back. If you are lucky enough to park on the side, then you just walk right in the front door. I would definitely recommend this place. We made a reservation, but when we arrived there were plenty of tables. But I would always make a reservation.

The only “knocks” on this place was the ceaser salad and occasionally the service was slow. The salad was thin strips of iceberg lettuce like you would find on a sandwich. Not the right cut for a salad. Otherwise I can not recommend this place enough. The food was outstanding and it is a relaxed family friendly atmosphere. And as you would expect.. the canolies were on point.

Overall, it was a great dining experience. The food was flavorful and the service was good. Only real issue was that a family w two screaming toddlers were running around the dining area. Ugh. The dining area is small so there was no escape but outside of that, I would definitely return.
