    We were celebrating our anniversary with a last decision to have Italian food. The reservation process through OpenTable was quick and painless. Our Uber was late so we arrived 20 minutes after our reservation. It was no problem for the staff! We were seated quickly and drink, appetizer and main course orders were taken by our very pleasant server. Everything was delicious without any significant wait! Our server even put a Happy Anniversary drizzle on the desert plate! Bottom line: Great evening! Thanks Mannino’s!!!

    What a delightful experience and dinner. It was my daughter’s birthday and everything was perfect as usual, especially your award-winning She Crab soup.

    This wasn’t my first time at Mannino’s, and they never disappoint! The wine was great, the food was great, and the ambiance was great. Perfect spot for a date night. If you’re planning a trip here I would recommend making a reservation because they are busy most days. They always have new specials and happy hours everyday.

    Great food doesn’t come fast. Patience is key. But it did take a little longer to get drinks than I would have liked. Overall it was a good experience. Will go back for sure.

    Mannino’s is a wonderful experience if you’re looking for something a little more upscale but still casual. The food is amazing! The crab soup is hands down the best I’ve ever had and the entrees are all top notch. We had the Chicken Parmesan and the Chicken Portofino. Both were phenomenal.
