I was close to downtown and craving Italian. Stopped in the Mancuso's knowing the I use to go to the Scottsdale location many years ago. The inside was nice chill vibe and beautiful decor. Sat at the bar and wow they have Sunday happy hour. Ordered Caesar salad it was good. Could've been a little bigger in size, but it was only six bucks. Ordered meatballs with risotto and it was amazing. This is one dish I will be craving and going back for. It only comes in an appetizer but very good. Then finished up with bake lasagna, which was excellent. The sauce was nice and flavorful and meaty had a couple glasses of wine and it was the perfect ending to Sunday. Sam was friendly and attentive and provided great service. Great date night

Excellent food and service. We had dinner reservations on a Saturday night and got seated as soon as we walked into the restaurant. One person in our party had a dairy allergy and they accommodated with no issues. I took friends from out of town and they were really impressed. It is a beautiful setting and we could converse through our dining experience in a quiet atmosphere and were not rushed. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to others.

I have been going to this restaurant since they opened. Lunch time all the time. Service is never lacking. My wife celebrated a milestone birthday here. Around 20 people. We had a memorable time. The place has a business casual feel. Elegant and comfortable. I have a few favorites. Everyone that went with me is always pleased. Highly recommended.

The restaurant was delicious. We were a party of 11 and they were so attentive. I ordered the Chilean sea bass. It was delicious.

We decided on Mancuso's for dinner because it is close to Phoenix Symphony Hall. It can be a little tricky to find. When you find the address, you have to go up the stairs and then around the building in front to find it. Of course, because it's downtown, parking can be a little hard to find. There is a parking garage, but we parked on the street around the corner. The restaurant itself is lovely. I was surprised that it was so empty at 6:00 on a Friday evening. There is a separate bar off to the side, a main dining room, and then another room off the side with tables and white tablecloths. I really liked the touch of a big table lamp and an arrangement of mirrors and old photos. We started with cocktails and escargot. The escargot was loaded with delicious, garlicky butter. We got a basket of bread, which was fantastic for dipping in the garlic butter. They do bring balsamic and olive oil if you prefer to dip your bread in that. I had the rigatoni Bolognese, which was good. Hubby had the linguine in white clam sauce. There were tons of clams and it was absolutely delicious. We had a wonderful, attentive server. He boxed our food up for us at the end of the evening, which is touch I always appreciate.

Holy Moly... we're extremely happy with each and every visit. This has become our fave place for traditional Italian in the Valley. Sure, there's a lot of Italian eateries, but very few with the tasty Mamma Mia feeling when you bite into there food. From Veal Marsal (Wow!) to their Caesar Salad with Mushrooms to the Meatball Risotto you can't go wrong. Traditional, tasty, and traditional. Oh, did I mention their fantastic Garlic Bread. This is easily anybody's, any Foodie's Italian eating hole... come on down and Manga!

Met up with friends to go to a show downtown Phoenix and we wanted to get dinner before the show and picked Mancuso's. Its been in the valley for 40 years and this was my 1st time there. We had reservations so we were shown to our table right away. The meal starts out with bread, which was delish, For the meal I went with chicken marsala. The was perfectly cooked chicken breast in a wine sauce with button mushrooms paired angle hair pasta and seasoned green beans. The table also shared a bottle of wine. This was a great meal, service was a great. Can't believe it was my 1st time there, but it won't be my last!
