About Mancuso's Restaurant

Customer Review Summary
Fresh baked bread served with olive oil draws the most repeated praise, called some of the best bread reviewers have had, often paired with mentions of generous portions. Close behind, diners single out the crab stack, lobster bisque, and pork chop as standouts, along with the risotto and tiramisu. Many describe warm, attentive servers who check in throughout the meal, but a recurring share of reviews describe the opposite: waits of 45 minutes for entrees, servers who walked past tables without acknowledgment, and dishes called bland or oversalted, including a tough, under-seasoned filet mignon and shrimp scampi described as too salty to finish. Pricing draws mixed reactions relative to what arrives. Two reviewers raise serious allergy concerns, one describing a shellfish allergic reaction and later illness within their group, another reporting that meals arrived with allergens on the plate despite advance notice, with no manager acknowledgment in either case. Satisfied visits often close with servers boxing up leftovers or bringing a complimentary dessert, while dissatisfied ones describe complaints raised at the table going unaddressed.

“Thank you for accommodating us: we dined at Mancuso's twice in one week, a group of of 8 each time. First planned and the second impromptu because we had such a great experience. Excellent food & service! Mancuso's is an easy walk from the …”

“It’s unfortunate the max stars to give is 5 because this place is 10 out of 10!!! We tried this place for lunch today b/c we had Resy points to use and when I tell you we can’t wait to go back. I have been really disappointed with over priced restaurants lately that have ‘ok’ service, decent food, and giving out these small portion sizes (no need for a to-go box). This place had it ALL, and let me remind you this was at lunch. The service was excellent, the food was exceptionally delicious & the portion sizes are WILD!!!! Let me tell you what we got, then tell you what we paid. Endless fresh baked bread (the best bread we’ve had in a long time), 2 appetizers, 2 meals & 2 well drinks @ ONLY $100 ($50 a person). WOW!!! We walked out so stuffed. We couldn’t finish our meals. The waiter boxed our meals and bread for us and now we’re having it for dinner. So that’s really only $25 a meal w/ a drink and appetizer. I feel the need to say again the food was absolutely DELICIOUS! Can’t wait to return!”

“Great food, great atmosphere. Service was wonderful and server answered all our questions about menu items. Loved the stuffed mushrooms with Italian sausage. The seared ahi salad was flavorful and i loved the touch of wasabi drizzled across plate. I normally don't eat bread sticks, but this bread was so good 😋 Loved the ambience inside and out. The patio area was so inviting, if weather is nice, I would reserve outdoor seating, plenty of shade. 👍”

“Exquisite authentic Italian restaurant. The food was delicious, and the best part was the fresh bread served with rich, flavorful olive oil. Every dish tasted thoughtfully prepared, with fresh ingredients and a true Italian touch. The staff was warm, welcoming, and attentive throughout the meal. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxed dinner with family or friends. It's a bit pricey but it's worth it and I would recommend to anyone looking for great Italian food.”
