Mancy's Italian Grill - Italian Near Me - Toledo, Ohio

See all

I've heard so much about Mancy's Italian Grill since moving to Toledo, so when I finally had an opportunity to try it, I was really excited. Underwhelming doesn't quite begin to describe it. I will say that the wine list is very good, especially for some of the by-the-glass options. It pretty much ends there, though. The caesar dressing on the caesar salad just tasted off. I have made it myself from scratch and had the authentic dressing made for me from scratch, and this just tasted weird. Why is there gorgonzola and bacon on a house salad? I love gorgonzola cheese and bacon, but I have never in all my trips to Italy seen them on a salad. American steak houses? Sure, but not with Italian food. We got bread for the table, which was fine, but it was some weird whole wheat thing with butter on the side. Not what I expect from a restaurant that claims to be authentic Italian. We had the meatball appetizer, which was actually quite nice, but it's clear that the bolognese is basically exactly the same thing, just crumbled instead of made into meatballs. And everything....absolutely everything....is so so so so salty. There is no flavor to anything except salt. No fresh tomato or herb flavors, and not a single drop of olive oil to be found. If it was there, it was cooked in, not available for bread or salad or finishing the dishes. The menu is bizarre. I thought I'd find some of the classic Italian options, but I really didn't see much of anything. And why is every third dish listed 'alfredo'? Alfredo isn't even Italian, not the kind with heavy cream, anyway. Whyyyyy is the marsala on top of fettuccine alfredo??? In what universe does marsala go with a creamy American sauce? And cheese never, ever, ever goes on seafood dishes. Why are we putting cheese on shrimp? I was really interested in the piccata, but it was over couscous rather than a solo dish with either pasta before or at least on the side, so I chose to skip that as well. In the end, I found the menu limited and unspired - a real disappointment. I had really hoped for as close to an authentic Italian experience as I could find in the midwest of the US, but this just isn't it. Is it better than Olive Garden? Probably, though I've never been to OG. Is it anything close to real Italian food? No. Not even a little. read more

Came in on a Tuesday night for dinner. Sat at the bar and was served by a pleasant bar tender. Place has a neat design, as you can see from the bar into the dining room and into the kitchen. It was happy hour so I had a couple of half price cabs on tap. Have not had a lot of tap wine, but this stuff wasn't bad. Wasn't great either, but drinkable. For dinner I had a mixed green salad and chicken parm. The salad was outstanding, as was the chicken. The parm was a bit sparse. Whereas the chicken was pounded thin and very crisp and delicious, the red sauce was plentiful, but lacked a lot of flavor. There was a side of fresh baked bread which was also very good. read more

Brandon was a great waiter! Everything from being greeted at the front to desert was phenomenal. I don't come here often but coming back here for date night was a wonderful experience. I was a little taken back by the older woman working at the hostess stand though. She seemed a little condescending whereas the younger workers were very pleasant. Although quite expensive, the food is so worth it, portions were just right and absolutely delicious. As I mentioned our server was great, very professional yet personable, patient, and accommodating. For a Saturday evening I was shocked how empty it was but made for a better experience for us. read more

I haven't been back here in a while because I think the food is mediocre compared to other restaurants in town. It wasn't bad, but if I have to pay that much money, I'd rather go somewhere else. The service was great though! The atmosphere also gave a romantic vibe when we went so it was a good vibe. Just overpriced for average food. read more

Mancy's Italian Grill has the potential to be my favorite restaurant -- and on its best days, it absolutely is. When the kitchen is on point, the food is incredible. The NY strip with Alfredo and green beans is a personal favorite; the steak is always cooked perfectly, and the combination is rich and satisfying. The lemon raspberry martinis are a standout, and the warm bread with rosemary butter is a great start to the meal. That said, consistency can be hit or miss. There have been visits where the flavors fell flat or dishes lacked the usual spark. Still, when Mancy's gets it right, it's some of the best food I've had. I keep coming back, hoping for one of those great nights -- and when it happens, it's worth it. read more

The bread calamari and Caesar salad was probably the best part of my meal. The chicken Alfredo was very underwhelming. The vibe of the restaurant was nice. Our server was nice and fast! But I most likely won't be coming here again. read more

The restaurant would not accept a gift card that they sell at Kroger. The Mancy's Restaurant group is listed on the card, but they said NO. Had a great server, and the food was awesome, just had an issue with the gift card. read more

Haven't been to Mancy's Italian in a few years. Always loved the place so thought I would take my wife for her birthday last night. Wasn't very happy with my choice. The menu had less choices than before. We ordered Brussel sprouts for an Appetizer because they no longer had the formage board. We never received the Brussel Sprouts. My wife got Salmon, which was very fishy. I got Chicken Parmigan, which tasted over cooked and was overly saturated in tomato sauce. All the food was overly seasoned with salt. Decided right then and there we would never go back. It just wasn't the same place that we used to love going to on our special occasions. Jim B. read more

Always great service and a great menu. The only place in town that makes a good black Manhattan!

Service and atmosphere were both great. We came to the restaurant today to celebrate an early Father's Day with my family. We go to Mancys for the awesome filets. Found out tonight they no longer sell the filet. Tried a ribeye instead, it was ok but we missed the filet. Potatoes were burnt and mushy and fruit flies loved the bread we were served - spent the meal swishing them away. We will be searching for a new place to have a filet. read more

The ambiance at Mancy's Italian is higher end but comfortable. I've been here many times over the years and service has always been excellent, as it was on my most recent visit. I ordered a salmon dinner that came with a house salad and small red potatoes. The salad was fresh and delicious. The salmon was a bit cooler- like it had been ready for a while before served. Also, the quality of the salmon was a bit on the fatty side and I cut off some sections. Seasoning was good and portion size was average; I didn't take home any leftovers. Definitely recommend but would order something else next time. read more

Good ambiance for a romantic date, and very friendly servers! The food was very good as well. It's not a cheap dinner, but the food and vibes were great; I would go back if I was in the area. Good wine and cocktails too ;) read more

My husband and I decided to give this place one last try. We've been there a few times over the last 4 or 5 years. Cons -- The fruit flies/sewer gnats are still an issue and have been quite some time. The waitstaff are aware of this and always have an excuse that they were doing something about it. I ordered my favorite, the diavolo, but it had no sauce on it. Just plain olive oil. I asked the waitress where the sauce was (like a reddish spicy oil sauce) and she said it never had a sauce. It was extremely bland (being only olive oil - didn't even have red pepper flakes) and rather dry with tiny pieces of an asparagus stem, a few slivers of a mushroom, 4 unseasoned shrimps and the lobster. As always, the lobster was the best part, but the dish was so NOT worth $38. I hate ordering a dish I know I can make better at home. My husband had the chicken Alfredo and it was nothing special. Very disappointing. We agreed this Mancy's is no longer on our list of restaurants and will no longer be going there. It turned into a joke for us. The gnats kept hitting us in the face, which was the final straw. My husband and I kept laughing bc he killed a gnat between his thumb and pointer finger like something Mr. Miyagi did with his chopsticks in the movie The Karate Kid. Pros - the ambiance is very nice. read more

This is my favorite place to go while I'm in Toledo! We came here this time to celebrate my sisters birthday, and we left in food coma. The apps are my favorite part here, this time we got brushetta on garlic bread (we were so excited to eat it that I forgot to take a picture lol). I'm also a big fan of their Alfredo sauce! We were going to a drive in movie after so we were in a hurry, and all the food came out fast. Our waitress was very sweet as well. Restaurant itself is pretty big, but on weekends it does get pretty busy! read more

Would not recommend this restaurant. The experience was underwhelming for sure. From the calamari that was some of the most awful we have ever had. Bread served was burnt. Only positive was the martinis but they were easy - vodka shaken up. Not hard to get right. I would suggest you consider another option when considering a restaurant to go to! Note, this is the first time I have written a review of a restaurant - might tell you something! read more

Been coming here for years! Excellent Italian food, steaks are highly recommended, and the happy hour pizza is a must! Good friends with the staff, and one of the coziest restaurants in town to meet up with friends at! read more

Sat in the bar area. Food was great! Drinks were so good! I hadn't been there in years, but will definitely be back.

Chicken Parmigiana and Chicken Alfredo were both amazing, as was the Old Fashioned cocktail and the Pear cocktail. Service was spot-on, and we felt very well taken care of. Definitely would return for a great Italian dinner experience! read more

So, went there on Saturday for dinner. This is my 4th (or 5th) time at this restaurant and I can say the place has never been great. We arrived around 5:30 and they weren't busy so we were seated right away. Our waitress came over and took our drink orders and we perused the menu. Some of the entrees looked pretty good! I was going to order the Diavolo, but I noticed that it didn't come with a salad - something like a $6 upcharge for that. I noticed that there are 3 pasta dishes that do come with a salad, so I opted for the Pollo Picatta (the other 2 were chicken marsala and chicken parm). MISTAKE... The dish had no sauce at all (it's supposed to have a lemon butter sauce). The chicken was probably done 10 minutes before they took it off of the grill. The description also noted prosciutto and I couldn't find any. It was dry, tasteless, under seasoned and oily. To be fair, the pasta was well cooked and the dish did have plenty of capers and artichokes. Backing up a little, the martini was fine. The house salad was delicious. The bread was acceptable, but not great. Our waitress was great. Oh, another issue is the entrees came out when we were still eating our salads. I don't think we were halfway through them and here comes the server with the entrees. If they were busy and really needed the table, I'd still be PO'd, but I would understand rushing us a little more. Not sure if that was a kitchen expeditor issue or if the waitress screwed that up. So, at the end of the day, 2 martinis, 2 entrees, 2 coffees (the coffee was really good) and the tip came to $100.00. It'll probably be another 7 or 8 years before I go back and I'll probably have the same experience. I know the steak house and Shorty's are the only 2 restaurants in the Mancy portfolio that are worth it, but I throw caution to the wind every once in a while, suffer a lapse in judgement, and go to some of their other places. Disappointment ensues and I leave scarred, hungry and always (at least) a hundred bucks poorer. If you want a good Italian meal in Toledo, go to Adrian, Michigan and try Sauce. That or get an Italian cookbook and make it yourself. This stuff isn't that hard to cook and I'm sure any novice that can read could do just as well. read more

Ick. Just bad Italian food. Better off going to Olive Garden if you want mediocre Italian. Service was good but food was flavorless, overpriced and very un special. Drinks were strong. Recommend the Paper Plane cocktail to forget about how bad the food is. read more

Loved this place. Exceptional food and service. I started with the Roasted Beets ($12.00) it was diced served on Baby Arugula, with Fried Goat Cheese, and Pistachio Dressing. My partner had the Della Casa with Romaine, Gorgonzola, Bacon, Red Onion, and a Sweet Vinaigrette. He raved and raved on the dressing. For dinner he had the Diavolo ($33.00) that had homemade Mafaldine Pasta, with Lobster, Shrimp, Asparagus, and Mushroom, served with a Spicy Lobster Sauce. He also enjoyed a very nice glass of red wine but don't recall which one off hand. I enjoyed the Vesuvio ($27.00) which was Homemade Casarecce Pasta, Shrimp, Fennel Sausage, Fresno Pepper & Rapini, Garlic Cream. I am not usually a fan of shrimp with pasta but decided to just go for it and so happy I did. It was so good. For his Birthday dessert we shared the Tiramisu ($9.00) described as Espresso & Rum Dipped Ladyfingers, Mascarpone Cream, and a Callebaut Chocolate Sauce. Of course it was good! The only negative aspect that troubled me was no one wore a mask. Not one employee that I saw. It really bothered me and gave a bad vibe but I will express that here in the review, but in terms of food and service it was great so I really need to go with the 5 stars to be fair. They really could do better with masks and public health and safety in that aspect. The main focus is the service was wonderful and quality of food and the flavor were so delicious. It made for a nice place to celebrate my partners birthday. I would absolutely recommend dinning here. Perfect for special occasions or just a nice meal. read more

Haven't been to Mancy's Italian in about three years, as I thought their menu had gotten a bit tired, but a work gift certificate brought me back, and I'm glad I returned! For drinks, our waitress, though nice and attentive, didn't provide much guidance. After scanning the menu, I went for the cinnamon brown sugar old fashioned--delicious, albeit a tad sweet, but it is brown sugar infused so not surprised. The boyfriend opted for the white wine from their 'highlight' items menu, a good Pinot Grigio, nothing extraordinary but still tasty. As for appetizers, we tried the arancini and both got the Della Casa salad. The salad, with its sweet vinaigrette and salty bacon, was just as I remembered--light and fresh. The arancini, light and fluffy with a pesto twist, were a pleasant surprise. They also served warm bread and oil and butter, a nice touch as I know they've tried changing their bread over the past couple decades. It was nice to see the classic back as the oil wasn't an option the last time I was there. Moving on to the main course, I chose the baked tortellini (chef's special), and the boyfriend went for the polo alfredo. The alfredo was a significant upgrade from past experiences--delicious mushrooms and spinach, perfectly cooked noodles, and a creamy balance. My tortellini with red pepper sauce was enjoyable, but the chicken was a bit bland. It reminded me of bland boiled shredded chicken. The red pepper sauce and mushrooms and spinach were really good but the dish lacked depth of flavor. Maybe some garlic, salt, pepper, or red pepper flakes could enhance the flavor. Dessert was the limoncello cheesecake. Flavor-wise, it was a perfect 10--the lemon curd was creamy and tart where I feel some restaurants are scared of too much lemon, they nailed it here. However, the texture of both the cheesecake and crust was a bit grainy, earning it a 7/10 for execution. Despite the texture issue, I'd order it again in a heartbeat Overall, I'd rate the experience a 7.5/10. Really a 3.75/5 stars for taste but can't leave halves here. The ambiance is a bit dated, but the overall atmosphere is nice and relaxing. The waitstaff, though friendly and attentive, could add a touch more personalization. I'd say if you've been here in the past, and thought the same as I did in the beginning give it another go. They've definitely made some upgrades to the food and I am excited to go back and try more! read more

By design, Mancy's Italian offers a specific point of view when it comes to Italian food, and if you're a fan of any other Mancy's establishment, you'll probably love this restaurant as well. For over 20 years, the Italian Grill has offered a finer dining experience, with a very welcoming atmosphere and a wildly approachable menu paired with some notably fantastic wines. And speaking of wines, make sure you swing by the bottle shop. It's managed by an awesome young lady named Zoe who will expertly send you home with a bottle of something you've never heard of before but have been waiting your whole life to try, and if you ask nice and make a reservation, you can even grab a table for dinner in the shop. After taking quite a long break between visits, our recent dinner confirmed that the kitchen is continuing to push out homemade, high quality meals with portions that won't make you second guess the slightly spendy (for Toledo) ticket price. My entree of blackened Hallibut, served on a bed of grains and a summer succotash, with tarragon Butter was really, really delicious. This spot gets very busy, so consider making a reservation. It's a great place to take a really hungry date, or if family are visiting you and they are picking up the bill. Mancy's Italian comes recommended in my book. read more

I have not ever had a good experience atMancys Italian Grill!! It's way over priced, poor preparation & presentation! Husband & I shared pizza & Caesar salad. Not Good!! read more

One of my favorite restaurants in Toledo. Delicious home made pasta. Great atmosphere.

Food is good, but not great. They no longer give you garlic, my husband was disappointed but they did make it upon his request... so that was good. We had to ask for the bread (that every other table had already, but after our app we still didn't get). Service was decent. I think the table that came in after us got full service and we were the after thought, but I guess that happens... sure glad the 10 top came in as we were leaving though! It's quaint, business casual atmosphere and I had fun dressing up a bit to go out... so a win! Lol read more

We got the Bianco Pizza and the Pollo Parmesan the food was wonderful but unfortunately service was not the best. We had a reservation for 5 on Saturday and when we walked in we got sat in their "overflow" bottle shop... a little less romantic of a setting with lots of bright yellow lighting. With a reservation we expected to be able to sit in the nicer part of the restaurant, but no big deal. We also only had our waters filled once, spent most of the time with them empty. We're definitely not ones too complain, but we are a long distance couple who haven't had a proper date in a really long time, so we were looking forward to a romantic dinner. Overall food was great and we recommend :) read more

Service was not great. We had a reservation at 7p. We did arrive at 7:05-7:10 and were told our table would be ready soon. 30-45 min. later still not seated. The bartender told us there was a seat yourself area that had servers so we decided to sit there with our drinks from the bar. Another 15 minutes with no server to our table. Finally talked to a manager to get someone to wait on us. It did not appear to be really busy but maybe it was just that or the fact that we were 5-10 minutes past our reservation time. Otherwise the food was excellent. read more

Lived in Toledo my whole life but haven't been to all of the Mancy's location yet. Figured it was time to try their Italian location before they closed and potentially relocated. Staff was very friendly and the service was good. I ordered the pollo Alfredo and was very impressed with it. I'd order it again. Was a little surprised we had to ask for bread for the table. Decided to splurge on dessert and order the limoncello cheesecake. Talk about an absolute miss. It wasn't creamy and just was disappointing all over the place. I'd happily go back again but skip dessert this time. read more

We went here for my father in law's birthday. I got the filet and it was over cooked. I ordered it medium rare to medium. It was well. They offered to bring me another steak and then this replacement was undercooked by a lot. I ate it anyway. I was in a large group, so they all got their meals and were almost done by the time I got my replacement steak. The restaurant ambiance was just ok and the service was just ok. All in all, it wasn't a terrific experience. I'll just stick with Mancy's Steakhouse, which is always a 10/10 for me. read more

We went for an early Valentines dinner. Everything was absolutely delicious, we enjoyed our server, the music played in the background and most importantly, the food. I had the Pollo Alfredo. It was so good. It wasn't overly heavy with sauce, the noodles were perfectly cooked and the chicken was crispy, moist and flavorful. The perfect accent for the pasta. My husband had the strip steak. The cook was PERFECT medium rare. The potatoes were good, I don't think he had room for the beans. We took desert home, chocolate cake and cheesecake. Both very good. Highly recommend and we will make the trip back. read more

First time here and we WILL be back. We started our dinner with eggplant Parmesan appetizer. Amazing tomato sauce on the eggplant rolls. Creamy, rich cheese on the inside. Hubby wanted lasagna and was at first very quiet when he tried it. I finally asked if he liked it and he lit up - it was the first time he had fresh pasta and was blown away at how good it was. I ordered chicken Marsala with crispy Brussels sprouts. This was the best chicken Marsala I have ever eaten! The sauce was decedent and had a lot of mushrooms. The chicken so tender I did not need a knife to cut it. Oh those Brussels sprouts - I would have begged my mom to eat Brussels sprouts if she made them like this. Thankfully this was too much food for me so I got to enjoy leftovers for lunch the next day. read more

Huge disappointment! Used to love coming here but tonight was a huge let down. First table we were sat at had a big on it and was not cleaned. I told the young lady at the front about it and she moved us to another table then didn't clean the other table but went back to her post to watch utube videos. We had to bat away several I ate during our stay as well. The waitress was very good and was the only pleasant thing about the experience. The food was okay but smaller portions than I remember. I won't come back - place feels sticky and dirty now - not sure what happened it used to be a place we looked forward to eat at but not anymore - what happened Mancys?? read more

We are big fans of Mancy's steakhouse, and decided to give the Italian Grille a try. Same great service, and awesome food. We were running 15 minutes late for our reservation but we still got our party of 5 out in under two hours. Fantastic wine selections, and the cheese board was awesome. Even our 3 year old tried some of the cheese and loved the grapes. The Italian Chop Salad was really good, as was the eggplant pasta. Huge serving sizes, so we all left with leftovers.
