"Our family ate dinner here on Mother's Day from the Italian menu. (There are also several Greek items.) Portions are large and each main dish could've been easily shared. The restaurant has a small deli and makes its own mozzarella and other items. We would certainly come back again or consider doing takeout if tables weren't available. Very friendly staff."

"We have come to Manoli Canoli for years as a couple and with friends. It is a friendly owner run and unpretentious small neighborhood restaurant that is very good at what it does, straightforward Italian and Greek cooking and good pizza. For this meal we had the excellent spanakopita appetizer which comes with a garnish of Greek salad, mushroom ravioli and meat lasagna washed down a glass of Greek Santorini white wine. Spinach Angolotti, shrimp pasta and the Tsatziki appetizer are good dishes we've had before as is the White Pizza Rita--eggplant, red peppers, sun dried tomatoes and herbs. Manoli Canoli also makes a fine tiramisu."

"This is a small restaurant, with a really friendly staff. There really isn't a good place to wait to be seated. We were about 15 minutes early for our reservation, and waited almost half an hour to be seated. The manager apologized for the wait, saying several reservations came in about the time ours did. He offered us a complimentary dessert and coffees/teas. We really enjoyed the evening. The food was real Italian, and the staff as accommodating as they could be."

"Online, it looks slightly more upscale. Manoli Canoli is a neighborhood restaurant with so-so food, BUT very good service."
