    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.

    This is one of our favorite restaurants. The chef specials are always great, the service is always friendly, and everything on the menu is great. We particularly love to go on Mondays for their half-price bottle of wine!
