Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Just had a wonderful first meal at Mannino’s on Princess Anne. Received amazing service from Cole and we were lucky enough to arrive for happy hour. We enjoyed the amazing crab soup with our drinks, along with hot fresh bread. For mains we had Spaghetti...with a meatball and Portobello Parm. Everything was wonderful, with rich, complex, homemade flavors. We finished with a cannoli and immediately started planning our next visit.More

This was our first visit to Mannino's, but it definitely won't be our last! Everything about the restaurant, the food, and the service were wonderful and like a step back in time to a wonderful, old school dining experience. Our server, Cole was excellent on...all levels. He was very personable and engaging and offered many suggestions. His pace of service was spot on and was key to our visit. The food was wonderful, starting with their delicious bread with olive oil/balsamic vinegar. We followed that up with a Caesar salad and wonderful entrees of shrimp and pasta and tortellini with mushrooms and artichokes. Don't skip dessert. The homemade tiramisu and cheesecake were amazing. Already looking forward to our next visit!More

Nice place with plenty of seating and very friendly staff. We were a group of six and everyone had a great meal. Large servings and the salads were also very good. We come to this place again.

My husband and I heard about this restaurant from multiple coworkers and decided to try it out. John was our waiter and he was wonderful the whole time. He recommended some amazing wines for my husband and I that we loved so much we bought...two bottles to take home. We were told the crab soup was out of this world so we went in to the evening with high hopes. The soup was unbelievable. The absolute most delicious either of us have ever had. Both the meals we got were ones that John himself said were his favorites and they were amazing. Neither of us had ever had such authentic Italian food before. We went into the evening expecting to have a good time and great food and our expectations were far exceeded. Absolutely 10/10 recommend for anybody that wants to have some delicious, authentic Italian food and some spectacular she crab soup.More

Having been a semi regular diner in this establishment I enjoyed the food and service up until last visit. Had reserved a table for 11 well in advance for family party. The waiter we were assigned was unusually rude and snappy initially to everyone in...our party and it only got worse from there. He took our drink orders at 5:15 P.M. brought the drinks and bread, then disappeared ..when he finally came back about an hour later he barked at us to order our appetizers and entrees at the same time so we did, another hour + went by... We finally got our food served to us 1 at a time from the kitchen with one of our diners not getting served until most of us were finishing up. From the time we sat down at 5:00p.m. we got our checks, which were all screwed up, around 8:00 p.m. When I questioned the checks of one of our diners the waiter got loud and mouthy with me. I told him point blank he was not going to talk to me in that tone. He got confrontational with me so I took my check and scratched out his tip and he said "oh I see what you are doing....taking away my tip"...at which point I left the restaurant. I'm 74 years old and have dined in restaurants abroad and all over this country and I have never been talked to or treated in such a manner by any waitstaff. I shall not darken the door of this establishment ever again and don't recommend anyone else subject themselves to such horrible service.More

We were nervous to try because a few of the reviews from recently weren’t the best on service. Our service was great fast friendly server. He made sure we had everything we needed and food was out timely.

Our group of 10 - 6 adults and 4 kids were treated to a very pleasant experience at Mannino's. This location was about 30 minutes from Virginia Beach- we chose to get away from the tourist area for one of our nights in the area....The food was great - our vegetarians were very happy - the service impeccable. Diana was very helpful and pleasant!More

We went to Mannino’s recently and we’re pretty disappointed. I had selected it for a birthday dinner for my daughter and found it very mediocre. Our fried calamari appetizer was the best part of the meal. Linguini vongole was too garlicky. Pesto pasta, cheese ravioli...and chicken Marsala were lacking in flavor. Service was friendly but slow. And the dining room was very, very warm. It was hard to sit for so long waiting for our dinner when it was not cool enough indoors.More

Good restaurant overall, food was good. Server, Anna, was awesome but the hostess was unfriendly and the brief interaction we had with Abby, a Manager, was bad. We waited for our food for about an hour on a bad weather Memorial Day weekend (it was...rainy, high wind and very few people on the beach). Only state that since I would hate to see how the restaurant operates on a very busy day, restaurant was about 60% full with no waiting to get into the restaurant but it still took the kitchen over an hour to get our food out. Since they took so long to get the food out our son was starting to get restless and walked around, hence the brief interaction with the rude Abby, who informed us that he was in the way of their staff to get out of the kitchen. That message could have been delivered in a nice way but Abby is obviously not used to any type of business, hence I highly recommend that one only visit this establishment during extremely slow times otherwise you have been appropriately warned. :)More

We booked this restaurant for my wife’s birthday. Overall the experience was below average. The food was mediocre but the service was well below par. Our waiter was virtually none existent. Our order was incorrect then after an hour we got it but he forgot...the sides we ordered as well. He was extremely inattentive, let him know my wife’s vegetables were hard and he said sorry, that is all. Ordered tiramisu and then we’re told they were out. Never once saw a manager or owner. How people rate this restaurant this high is insane. What a letdown for a birthday dinner.More
