Manucci’s Restaurant & Bar

Probably one of best Italian restaurants I’ve been to. My girlfriend and I have been here several times and we have always had a great experience. We always make it a point to eat here when visiting Long Island. The food is delicious. Everything from the salad to dessert. We have had several different entrees there. We’ve tried the eggplant rollatini, penne vodka, the lemon pepper chicken (one of my favorites), and also the filet mignon. And they probably have best carrot cake. It’s a cute place and with great food. Definitely recommend it!

Wow hate to say this but probably the worst dinners ever. The appetizers were just ok but the main entrees were actually inedible. We had 2 orders of rack of lamb (by the way not cheap) one came out raw and one was sent back and still was not ok, The potatoes were home fries with some kind of gravy they were awful.
Unfortunately I can’t say anything good because even when the waitress came to clear the almost full plates she said nothing… so besides the food the staff is not observant or cares…
Guess that’s why there were reservations. available
when other restaurants (HARVEST)were booked solid!!!
Its a shame seemed like a cute place. Unbelievably disappointed

Great food and reasonable prices. The service is always very good. Get there early because it fills up fast.

The service here was terrible. I felt bad for the waitress since it looked like she was the only one working covering two dining rooms. A man that looked like the manager was walking around but couldn’t seem to care less that every single table was complaining. The eggplant rollatini tasted like it was about a week old and the Zuppa di pesce was overflowing with sauce that tasted like the chef just threw whatever leftover ingredients he had into it. When our entrees were brought out they just threw it on top of the empty appetizer plates and only took them away when we complained about it. Not at all worth coming here.

Breakfast in Montauk on the weekends is good at Manucci’s. Relaxing ambiance. Low key and a perfect place to meet a few friends or go before you head out in the area for Montauk fun and adventure. Sunday there were eggs, carving station, fruit, waffles.
Very traditional breakfast, nothing too adventurous food wise.

We’ve been coming to Manucci’s for years. Back in 2004 at their prior location we and 16 friends descended on them right before closing… not only were they gracious – but we are all still talking about the Seabass with a red pepper coulis and homemade mashed!!! Fast forward to 10/19/14…night before leaving Montauk, had another incredible meal. 4 am getting ready to drive back to SC and I realize I left my handbag at Manucci’s. I called and the owner Ray answered. He shipped my handbag priority mail! Incredibly accommodating and really shows integrity and honesty! That’s priceless!

Food was fine. I had the duck which was done well. The problem was the service which was just awful! First the host made us feel like he was doing us a favor rather than like a valued customer. The waitress ignored us. We had a grease coated carafe of water delivered to the table and as the restaurant diners cleared out the waitress got even more neglectful towards us.

Portions are large, food was just ok, service was average. Best part of the meal was the salad.

Food was very good, the baked clams were tremendous and the perfect balance of chopped clam vs bread crumb. My BF’s chicken Parmesan was suggested by the bartender as one of two house favorites (the second being Chicken Marsala) The size of the Chicken Parm was Flintstonian; about a Lb. of pasta and mixed veggies AND bread included. They have a wood burning Pizza Oven fired up nightly, and are one of the few restaurants to stay open year-​round in MTK.
My guy easily had 2.5 meals from his behometh portion, and it tasted terrific when I took a few nibbles. Service is super friendly, which is one of the things I love about locals Montauk. The restaurant itself is dimly lit, romantic and a nice place to snuggle up with your loved one and enjoy a meal and a drink or two. You can never go wrong with seafood fresh from the docks and produce off the vine/​land.
They also serve a breakfast buffet, but we will try that during our next trip to Kenny’s Tipperary Inn. For now, the memories of beautiful walks, runs, bike rides and chilly dips into the sea with sustenance and libations at Manucci’s will suffice until we return.

This place was better than I thought it was gonna be. It’s got some stiff competition in a small 10 mile radius. And they can hang with the big boys. Soups were great, huge shrimp cocktail, linguini and clams were great. Very fresh = very good…
When the sun is burning and your tired of eating outdoors come to this place and beat the heat… Nice change of pace and good to switch it up from the montauk rotation which consists of: inlet, goshmans, lobster roll, gernys, main st, St. Peter’s catch, Dave’s grill.
Give the rookie with the golden arm a chance, try MANUCCI’S

We had ribs, fish and chips, and a burger. Everything was great. The waitress was extremely nice and checked on everything for my son’s allergies. Great food-​great price! Would go again.

Manucci’s is one of a few and far between Restaurants in Montauk these days that is locally owned, open year round, and not in the least pretentious. The owner makes the effort to accommodate the working class locals by offering a simple, reasonably priced menu in the off-​season, and even goes so far as to extend specials like Monday pasta night into the summer months — a rarity if not complete anomaly in Montauk.
With a constantly fed wood burning stove and regular-​friendly bar scene the place is cozy and casual in the winter. It gets busy/​crazy at times after the 4^th of July but that is to be expected in a seasonal resort economy. The bartenders are fun and sociable, and it seems the management does all they can to accommodate large parties — another rarity in Montauk. There’s lots of options for dining space– two dining rooms, a dark wood bar, and an outdoor deck for summer.
Pasta portions are huge and favorites include the rigatoni/​sausage and penne vodka with pancetta. The rack of lamb and filet mignon are also ample portions with nice accompaniments (potatoes au gratin with the rack, mushroom demi on the filet.)
If you’re looking for a sliver of meat with shaved brussel sprouts, truffle oil, and a beer whose name you can’t pronounce, this place isn’t for you. If you want to remember what Montauk used to be like and maybe have a conversation with someone who knows something about fishing, pull up a chair! Of all the things I miss about living in Montauk, Manucci’s will always occupy a special place in my heart.

Food was mediocre, had the duck which tasted Like chicken. Pasta with sausage tasted like grease, wine list awful. Ordered a bottle of wine, it was terrible took a suggestion from the waitress and that was also terrible. Left it for the staff to drink. Owner didn’t come over at all. When I went to him he didn’t care how we felt. Would never go back.

Food was pretty good. Waitress needs to be less phony, inauthentic, and rude though. I get you don’t like your job but don’t take it out on people who pay your salary.

I love Manucci’s and can’t wait to get back there soon! I had the most delicious bowl of linguini and clams (it probably didn’t hurt that I had a craving) there. Definitely hit this restaurant up for some good casual Italian food if/​when you’re out in Montauk.

My boyfriend and I have been here twice and its a good restaurant. The food is lretty good and not that pricy. The only reason why I didn’t give all the stars is because of the service. Our service didnt really care about our table. But overall its a good place.

So many things were wrong with this place. Came here for breakfast expecting a lot. We walked in and was greeted by a man in dreads who only response was ‘lets go’ and he just walked a few feet and pointed to a table. Great service. We then ventured to the two tables of food: Bacon was soggy, the guy doing the pancakes and waffles ignored me when I asked him for two pancakes. You had to carve your own ham. The omelet guy took 5 minutes to make each omelet, and the only meat that was available to put in the omelet was ham. Everything is included, included juice and coffee. Uggggh, I should have known it would be a bad experience going to an Italian restaurant ordering breakfast. Even if their dinners are amazing, you have to fault them for a poorly run breakfast buffet

I went here last night with my bf. The place was empty, that should have been our first red flag alert. The waitstaff was fine, took our order quickly. We ordered baked clams, which were very good. For our main dishes i got the salmon and he got linguine with white wine clam sauce. The salmon tasted like it was freezer burnt, the risotto was cooked terribly! It tasted like it was undercooked. Didn’t taste good. The lemon dill sauce was way too salty. I should have sent it back but I was hungry. My BFs dish, the clam sauce linguine was off. Not too sure why but it didn’t taste right. I love dining in montauk and usually order seafood dishes but the food here wasn’t good.
Update: belly aches for several hours

My friends and I have been here twice and it’s a good place for all you can eat breakfast buffet for about $ 12. It’s especially helpful if you had a couple drinks the night before and you’re craving some carbs.
The tables are set up in the bar area where there’s a waffle station or a an omelet station. You pick up a plate and you have your choices of carbs on one side: bagels, potatoes, and cereal or across the room are the made to order omelets.
As far as ingredients for the omelets, you have a choice of ham, tomatoes, chedder, mozzarella, and mushrooms to name a few
You can also ask them to carve a slice of ham for you if you are craving meat but there’s also bacon and sausage on the other tables for you to pick up.
Service is pretty attentive and you get to hear some lovely Irish accents as the ladies ask if you would like some coffee, juice or water.
Overall, I’ve enjoyed my experience here but I’ve always been partial to accents.

No go
