I found the place so close to the convention center and virtually empty over lunch. The eggplant entrée was THE BEST I've ever had. The staff were very attentive, and my glass of water was topped off often. Improvement would not be possible!

Second time dining here. Sat in the bar area . Mediocre service. Love veal chops but when I ordered it “medium” the waiter said it is only served well done because it is dry and chewy unless cooked that way. I asked if he was talking about the pork chops and he replied they are dry too. Definitely a strange response but maybe he saved me from a bad meal? Ordered Veal piccata instead. It was very good.

Imo, marsala sauce was ok. Bolognaise was not that good.

You will see by my reviews... they are authentic. If I have a good experience... I will tell it like it is... same if I have a negative experience. Too much to get into, bottom line for Mancuso's... it was for me the worst food I have ever had... in any scenario! Upon arrival our waiter, David, started "selling" us on steak, lobster and seabass... the 5 most expensive dishes on the menu... then I inquired about the wine list... the wines are marked up about 200%... and asked if they had cabernet wine glasses for a $100 bottle of wine (in store for $30)... David said they did not have nice wine glasses... surprised... I asked how a high end restaurant would not have stemware to match... he replied "we are not a high end restaurant... just an eatery near the convention center"... and that is exactly what you should expect. The food is not edible... sent back the Veal Marsala... not sure what the meat looked like, smothered in a gravy that tasted like sherry (not marsala) and vegetables that looked like they were from a frozen package (crinkly carrots). Service... our waiter would not engage and explain the menu... just selling dishes... After 20 min... we saw that another table had bread + oil + balsamic vinegar... and had to ask to get some for our table. If you want to spend $80 - $100 per person for food... not a meal... this is the place to go! There are several other options in the downtown area that are good... had to find out the hard way, as many of the reviews were good. Unfortunate that I wasted a dinning night and money on Mancuso's... we were in town for Spring Training for only 3 days.

Such a beautiful experience! Came here on recommendation from a friend for a date night and was NOT Disappointed!! Stephanie provided such fun, inviting service and really added to the already enjoyable atmosphere. The restaurant is beautiful. The food!! I can’t wait to come back several times just to try all the things I spotted on their menu. We certainly put a dent in that bucket list and my hubby personally tipped the chef because his pasta sauce was that on point! I can’t say enough about this restaurant, just go! You’ll be happy you did!
Fabulous restaurant we always go there when we're in the city.

the happy hour here, outstanding. the staff, so kind and did a great job recommending a bottle of wine when we decided to come back for dinner this place is great for intimate dinners or a larger party i cannot wait to come back
We really enjoyed our family dinner. It was for my husband's birthday. We would definitely look forward to returning again. I would highly recommend Mancuso's Restaurant!

Outstanding Italian restaurant in downtown Phoenix! Wait staff and hostesses were all very friendly and accommodating. The food is very good! Good mix of pastas, seafood, and steaks. Large wine and cocktail menu. Good views of the city. They have indoor and outdoor seating. No complaints here. If you want good Italian food, this is your place.Highly recommend.
