We celebrated my wife’s 60th birthday at Manninos in Commack on 3/24/24. I booked the dinner, for 20 people, with Joe the manager, who delivered every request I made. The food, atmosphere, and drinks were outstanding. But, the Service you receive is what can make or break the evening.Our server was Francesca, along with a supporting staff of 3. Francesca was professional, pleasant and extremely efficient and attentive. No one had to wait for anything and I received numerous compliments on her impeccable service.The bar staff provided an array of many specialty drinks which were also made perfectly, as they always are. This is why we often choose Manninos in Commack for a great night out.Much thanks to Joe the owner, who is always a Gentleman.Thank you to Joe the Manager, Francesca, Nicole and the bar staff and all those who provided my wife with such a memorable birthday.If you haven’t been here, you are missing a great experience.

I really wasn't crazy about this Mannino"s. Now this is just my opinion! I prefer the one in Oakdale that's me. I like the atmosphere better, the staff has a better attitude when you don't order dessert! I mean come really what's the big deal when 8 women don't order dessert does it really kill your night that much you have to have an attitude. You should always be careful you never know whom loves to write reviews! And has a following! Just sayin...Anyway! Oakdale all the way people!! Just leave me a seat when I decide to go please. Oh and if you order the Oyster Rockefeller go for it!! To die for! But what isn't there!! See ya there!!Parking: Guys were nice. Polite. Did they forget to turn my heat on!

Honestly, one of the best Italian restaurants I’ve been to. I got the chicken scarpaiello; a staple of Italian cuisine that was done PERFECTLY. The chicken was nicely cleaned but still on the bone; the sauce was light, lemony, and yet full of depth. So glad I came here!!!

The Veal Scallopini was almost inedible( dry and no flavor ) Pasta Bolangnese was tasteless. Dessert was really good as was service. Not sure why entrees weren't that good but maybe it was a bad night.
They sat us in bar area, even though we had a reservation. So, it was very loud. At first, wait staff was rushing us, but when we asked them to slooow down- all got much better. Food was delish. Staff attentive. They had a sax player who was excellent. Enjoyable experience overall.
Great lunch. We are regulars and have been starting with old establishment on Commack Road. The wine servings are generous. The food portions are large and delicious and come to the table hot! Only bug is bread comes in 3 portions to a table with 2 people. Who gets the third slice?

This place is awesome. The food is exceptional. The deserts are off the charts. Me and my wife go here once in a while for a romantic dinner. We have also gone here a bunch with family on special occasions. They also have really good creative drinks. The atmosphere is great and never disappoints. The only downside is there is only valet parking so we usually have to take my wife's car because I don't trust any valet driving my car.

The atmosphere was great and our server was as well. I found my dish to be less than desirable. It was a risotto based dish that had white rice instead of risotto which I was very thrown off by.

Don't get me wrong, the vibe of the place is good, however if you're looking to pay $200 for an out of the box taste like food, that's the place to go! I ordered a spicy alla vodka pasta, it came watery and soggy, it didn't taste anything like an ala vodka sauce, the pasta was shaped like a macaroni which I didn't mind but the taste wasn't good. Our server, which was great by the way, she replaced my plate to a pepperoni pizza, which also tasted like frozen pizza with a back of an entirely burnt bottom! My husband ordered the fruit Del Mar which was ok, he wasn't too crazy about it. We had fun talking but didn't enjoy the food whatsoever! Also waiters and waitresses were too fast almost running to do everything, felt like you are at fast food kind of restaurant.

I have only good memories of this restaurant. I went by myself and everytime I was treated just as good as a table of 8 customers. I was treated as an equal just as important as every other customer. I admit I'm not a good dresser and look poor . A restaurant in Hauppauge motor parkway told me to leave because of there dress code. But here I was still welcomed with my long hair and no bad attitude was given to me. I want to thank everyone very much at manninos .
