    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.
