Overall a good experience. We had a reservation for four people on Sunday at 3pm. The restaurant is decorated nicely, and has an upscale look to it. We were a little early, so we went to the bar for a cocktail. The only negative part of our experience was the bartender ignored us for 10 minutes while telling a story to her only other customer. When we got our drinks, they were okay and not as elevated as I would hoped for. When we sat down at our table, our waiter was excellent and very friendly. He made fantastic recommendations off the menu and we enjoyed everything we ordered. I will come back as we really enjoyed the food and our waiter. We've been to the Oakdale location as well and loved it. read more

The food, service and ambiance are exceptional at Manninos! The commack location is very modern, always decorated beautifully and has a huge bar on the main level with a second smaller bar upstairs. They are always packed so I recommend making a reservation. But the food is well worth the wait. I always love getting the spicy rigatoni vodka but recently, I tried the Pollo Mannino and it was incredible as expected. The dessert options are also incredible. My personal favorite is the blueberry cake and gelato but most recently when I went they had a special that was a peanut butter crunch cake, and that was to die for as well. One thing that I really love about this location is that the owner Joe is always around. I don't think I've ever been there when he wasn't walking around and he's very hands-on. read more

Normally I'd wait a few visits before reviewing any new place but Mannino's Italian Kitchen I don't think will be in my rotation. Why? Well the interior restaurant is beautiful, while I was waiting for my wife to arrive, the nice looking front bar area was cool. The menu seemed to be jumping all over the place. The prices are a little over the top, $85 for a stuffed veal chop? $30 for calamari?? I have tickets for a jazz show so I want to eat and bolt. I ordered a cocktail under the $16 cocktail menu, the Old Fashioned Mannino's. Nice starter cocktail for dinner. Here's where it went a little loopy. I ordered the Monkfish special. I love Monkfish but it was served in an egg coating. Really? It's like dipping a porterhouse in chocolate. The fish was good I wouldn't order it again. Would I come back? I would. The place had a nice vibe, the wait staff was attentive and I had a good cocktail. If I'm coming back, its for that veal chop! (No calamari) read more

What a disaster. All 6 of our meals were incorrectly prepared. The waiter had attitude and couldn't get our orders right. Mislead us that another order was on the way only to find out 1/2 hour later nothing had been done. A $12.00 charge just for changing sauce colors. Scampi drowning in sauce, tuna that was slimy and smelled fishy.Brocolli so burnt it was not edible. Won't be back. On top of it a manager with attitude. read more

It was my daughter's sweet 16 dinner & everything was absolutely perfect! From the food to the staff, 1000000 Stars! Always loved how they decorate for Christmas. It was beautiful! read more

I'm never disappointed when I visit Mannino's in Commack. The service at the bar is always top notch and the eloquent manner in which specials are told, it's apparent that quality service is a priority. Sitting at the bar this evening, I noticed how the atmosphere was inclusive and had such a comforting vibe. Patrons all around engaging in conversations with one another and enjoying the food. Tonight was different because it felt like a giant family. read more

Horrible food 0/3 on steaks, brought out complete wrong dish for one person at our table. Bald manager came over and made it 10x worse basically telling us a steak can't be cooked correctly when it is thick.... good one guy. Service was amazing. food and manager no bueno place is falling apart. be better read more

What a night!! Excellent food..our waiter AMAZING & the decor & seating 10 at a round table PERFECTION!! We started off with delicious grilled pulpo salad,baby artichokes,fried calamari to name a few.The birthday boy had lobster risotto..pure deliciousness & all portions were huge.I had veal dore which was melt in your mouth veal accompanied by 2 francais pieces of shrimp.Another diner had Tuna Orientale perfectly cooked & quite a few had the Frutte de Mar. We usually are in Oakdale but they are renovating & couldn't accommodate our large party. Dessert was a creamy crème brûlée & warm donuts. I had wanted to try the upside down blueberry butter cake but it never came out..no problem we were all deliciously stuffed!! Great night & thank you Mannino's it was a pleasure!! read more

The place is beautiful. The food is good . It's very expensive. That don't have a lot of famous Italian dishes . They have weekly specials . For two people no alcohol the price was $150 I think that's way too expensive for Italian food and you can't classic food so I'm disappointed. The food is good but not worth what they are charging . I can eat a steak for that price . Not worth going unless your going for alcohol and appetizers that's it read more

I have come here a few times. It's not great but it's not bad either. Last time I came here I got the seafood tower which was super fresh and tasty. Rigatoni Ala vodka with grilled chicken. They put meat sauce in my Ala vodka. If you make a mistake at least correct it don't just serve it anyways. I thought it tasted funny but I had a little to eat there and took the rest home. Next day heating it up I noticed all the bolognese they put in it. Grossed me out. Paid over 30 bucks for that too. Won't be going back there for at least a long while. Ambiance is nice my dinner not so much. read more

Terrific food and lovely ambiance all around ! Classy and sophisticated I definitely recommend this place hands down

Very impressed and enjoyed my dinner here last evening very much, and I'm happy I decided to come here to experience it because before coming here, I heard mixed reviews. The place is very elegant, nice decor, friendly staff, very upscale. Clientele all dressed in suits and business attire, so dress for the Occassion of dining here. Valet parking was efficient and took care of us immeditately. Our table was ready promptly at the time of our reservation as well. Our waitress was very attentive and knowledgable about the menu, and she was able to take care of us with whatever we needed even if she had a full section of tables. Great job, The food also was delicious. The Cesar Salad was fresh and got rave reviews. The Salmon also was well cooked with a perfect amount of sauce. The pepperoni pizza was also delicious. I got the Ahi Tuna and it was a very generous portion and also really enjoyable. The best hit of the night was the Key Lime pie Ice cream, that was incredible. If they have it definetly get it. The Cannoli was average, that you can skip. The drinks also, well made. Dirty martini made perfectly, all enjoyed their beverages. Very pricey but very elegant. Dinner was 250 for 3 before tip. You do get what you pay for. Will return, will bring friends, wonderful time. read more

Valentine's Day 2025 was such a great experience here! Valet for the car, then we were seated promptly, waiting only to be checked in. Fresh Cesar salad - yumm, app of clams oreganata was delish. Dinner- the fiet tips with pasta was good (skip adding the parmesan cheese), and I had the stuffed veal cutlet which was amazing. Only disappointment was the mashed potatoes that came with my veal- flavorless and cold, but the meat was piping hot and huge. We took home half our portions. Asparagus was cooked well but plain. Dessert- get the blueberry butter cake! To die for! read more

What can I say? Best Italian restaurant hands down. A beautiful venue without being pompous. The waitstaff is not only personable but hilarious! I went with my staple the chicken mannino BUT sunday sauce is back through March! The chocolate cake, forget about it, it's a sin! So decadent with multilayers and a crunch. Between Mary and Gianna my favorite bartenders, the absolutely delicious food, and the ambiance... I don't think they could get rid of me if they tried! Great for dates, groups, and private parties. read more

The food is fantastic. The service is amazing beautiful ambience beautiful bar the owner. Joe is great. This restaurant will see me again.

We came here for a mother's day lunch. I must say the pasta was absolutely delicious and the portion was huge! The service was a little slow and we were not given a drink menu until we asked for one. But I'm hoping that was just because it was a busy holiday. read more

Service was great but food was mediocre and underwhelming. We ordered the spicy rigatoni a la vodka where the sauce was broken and oily, telltale sign of a reheated cream sauce that was not at all appetizing, had no flavor. Chicken MANNINO was flavorless, chicken cutlet was dry Very disappointing will not be returning. read more

The food,the service and the ambiance were amazing. I highly recommend this establishment. We had a wonderful New Years dinner. Don't hesitate to try this restaurant. We have been there about 5 times,it always exceeds our expectations and we plan to go more frequently. read more

This place has a nice atmosphere and the service was friendly, but my experience left me a little disappointed. I used to love Carrabba's before they closed their Long Island locations, so I hoped this would fill that gap. The food was good, but the prices were very high for dishes that did not come close to the quality I was used to at the chain restaurant. I left feeling a bit upset because I wanted to love it. Still, it was not a bad meal, just not the value I expected read more

Great dinner this evening . Started with the Burrata special with Speck and truffle. The Burrata and Speck was outstanding. For main we had the rigatoni with filet mignon and cipoloni onions. Gnocchi in spicy Vodka sauce with grilled chicken. Chicken Parm. Everything was delicious Really enjoyed the filet mignon and rigatoni. read more

Top notch experience at Mannino's. The staff was very attentive and the food was amazing, especially the donuts! Now that is a must! Chicken was perfectly cooked, crispy and juicy and easy to cut. We had two big parties next to where we were seated upstairs so it was pretty loud. I will be back for those dreamy donuts! read more

One of my favorite restaurant. Food is fabulous. Great vibe at the bar. Had my 60th in the private room upstairs... everything was amazing!

DELISH!! Great restaurant, great ambiance, fantastic food, and service. You have to try the Espresso martini - out of this world! Love getting a few dishes for the table and everyone sharing a bite of each. For special occasions, this is the place I love to go with my family! Highly recommend!! read more

I have reluctantly dined/visited at this restaurant on several different occasions. I am in the hospitality industry and honestly became so aware of how poorly this establishment is operated. Cuisine is completely inconsistent for cost, is it a club or restaurant at night?? You cannot seat people with reservations in the main stream of that activity, unacceptable. I'd suggest a consultant service read more

Mannino's, Commack Have you been to Mannino's ?! It's a great italian restaurant with amazing food!! We love this place! They have a few locations on Long Island as well!

Went to the Commack location for my 40th anniversary dinner with my husband. We were seated upstairs, even though there was a party going on up there with screaming children. The waitress assured us they were leaving. We ordered appetizers, and within a short period, we were surrounded by three more tables, each with young children. Out came a large laptop propped up on one table with cartoons playing. Keep in mind there is a very nice quiet room downstairs with very few tables occupied. So, without ordering dessert, we decided to leave. On my way out, I had a conversation with the manager. A small man with a thick accent. He was useless. The atmosphere was more like Chuck-E-Cheese than a restaurant with $70 entrees. This location is mismanaged. read more

We were a party of 7 for a birthday dinner. Our waiter was super attentive and my water glass was consistently refilled, although our waitress kept reaching over me and my plate to do so. We ordered the meatballs and calamari appetizers and both were delicious. Both my sister and I ordered the penne supreme dinner and both of us were sick into the night and the next morning. It was delicious, but sadly it did not agree with either of us. read more

Food as always was terrific, service was exceptional. I would highly recommend Mannino's for your dinning pleasure

Went to Mannino's for our 10 year anniversary dinner and we were blown away by the food! Everything was so good! There was live music with a saxophone player close by that added to the good vibes around us . I was torn between the spicy rigatoni and the chicken parm, and asked our server if I can substitute the spicy sauce and rigatoni instead of spaghetti. They said of course and I was very happy with the best of both worlds lol 10/10 recommend if you haven't been before! read more

I couldn't find anything wrong! It is Valet parking and, you can hang your jacket if you want. We went upstairs to sit and eat. They do have seating outside on their deck. You start off with warm bread and olive oil. It was delicious and we could have easily dipped the bread into everything we ate. We then started with fried calamari, which the batter was so light and the seafood so fresh. We had the gnocchi, it was perfectly made and the cream was so creamy! We could not finish and we had to take it home. The shrimp oreganta was also soo delicious. The breading and spinach was delicious to eat. The table does have come with a side of potatoes, we did not try them but they were delicious. We ended things off with a light crème brûlée. We loved the presentation, make sure you have your phone ready. They do make mocktail options in case you need one. We ordered a pizza to go and our baby sitter said it was delicious! Definitely we be going back. read more

I recently visited for dinner with my wife and 2 other couples. We had a 6:45 reservation and they were running behind so we had to wait about 15 min. The place was very busy. Loud but expected. The waitress seemed rushed and not very pleasant. No real explanation of the menu or pleasant conversation. The drinks were average, beer served in the bottle and all took a long time to come. We were told to get all orders in together so timing could be better so we ordered apps and dinner at the same time. Turns out it didn't matter. The apps took long but the dinner took even longer. I had to inquire several times with the manager and random wait staff. Our waitress disappeared for extended periods of time. We were told they ran out of family style plates at one point so we had to use regular ones. Very odd. They acknowledged the wait time several times but offered nothing in way of compensation. We did not order desert because it took 3 hours to get our food so we did not want to waste more time. Food tasted good but nothing to warrant this experience was worth enduring. None of us would return. read more

An upscale contemporary ambience with a traditional steakhouse flare. The restaurant has two dining floors along with outside porch tables. I have dining outdoors, on both floors, and at the oval circular bar on the first floor. My favorite place to dine when with friends is the bar, mostly because it is very cozy, and intimate. Mannino's has a traditional Italian menu with a wonderful selection of Italian pasta classics, fresh seafood dishes, veal chops, and aged steaks which I had the pleasure to enjoy most of these popular dishes on my many dining experiences at Mannino's. Mannino's also has a wine menu that should meet the standards of most customers, and the wine consumers. Their staff equipped to assist in any wine meal wine pairing as well. Overall, Mannino's is a fabulous restaurant, and every one of my visits were enjoyable and the meals were delicious. read more
