This establishment no longer has dinner seatings. Only a group of 10 or more are welcomened. We went to Alessandro's outside of Ashtabula and had a fabulous meal!

They need to update their info. They no longer have a dining room, which I found after I drove 45 minutes to have lunch there. I called afterwards and the woman who answered the phone told me that it’s only catering now. When I suggested she update their website, she said that the owner is aware but very busy. Apparently this has been going on for a few months now. Hopefully the owner can take a few minutes and update his info before more people waste their time.

I had the chicken marsala and it tasted like frozen food. The sauce was like mushroom flavored water and the chicken was paper thin with a mushy breading. Everyone in our party stated their noodles were hard and the sauce was tastless. The website does not state cash only and you have to order at the counter. Very unfortunate. We will not be back.

I feel that they should indicate on their website, that it is cash only, and there were no waitresses you had to order at the counter. My friend ordered manicotti and they brought her stuffed shells. I ordered ravioli with mushrooms and spinach and they were it was hard as could be, and the spinach was frozen. We had to order at the counter and the only thing that they did was bring it to our table was very disappointed in the service and the food.

Tough guy owner likes yelling at his young waitresses before disappearing to do nothing elsewhere.

I try to stop in and visit at least 1 non-chain restaurant when I come to visit Meadville. Today's was Mannino's and it was a great choice.

I ordered scallops and shrimp with gnocchi in a pink vodka sauce and was delightfully surprised by it. Tender gnocchi that wasn't overcooked, with shellfish that wasn't overcooked. Often shellfish can either overpower a dish or end up being underwhelming, but this was a very well-executed dish whose ingredients complimented each other perfectly (good seafood was especially impressive to me as a new Englander visiting a landlocked state).

Service was attentive and swift, even with a mostly-full restaurant. The staff stopped by for drink refills and meal check-in, and did not overstay or stop too often. The wait time wasn't long either.

Atmosphere was good too, if a little confusing. The paintings and photographs on the wall tell stories and showcase family members and the local community history. The original industrial architecture of the building shines through as well, adding a rustic, authentic feel to round out the experience.

I can absolutely say that I recommend Mannino's, and if you stop in and get a salad, try their raspberry vinaigrette!

This has to be the worse Italian restaurant i have ever been in. The sause tasted like Campbell's tomato soup. The so called cook was yelling at the waitress. Just all around awful experience.

The sauce (or gravy) is at the level of excellence. This is a must stop restaurant in Meadville.

Called to place an order at 7 pm, they answered and said they were no longer taking orders. On a Friday night at 7 pm

Best BBQ chicken pizza we’ve had in a while. The lasagna was unique and extremely good. Thank you!

One of the BEST restaurants in Crawford County. Salads are amazing! Homemade dressing is amazing! Bring back the berry mascarpone dessert! Please!!!
