My first time at Mancini's. A classic steakhouse with traditional food and service. The pickle appetizer is a unique touch. Generous drinks! Dark wood, padded chairs. Good for an intimate dinner with a loved one or friends. The lobster tail was FABULOUS! A great baked potato loaded nicely. I d definitely go back for that old world steakhouse experience!

My 2 sisters and I threw a SURPRISE 40TH Anniversary party for our parents. It was better than we could have dreamed. Our parents have been going to Mancini's for special occasions since before they were married, and we have gone there to celebrate nearly every special event from graduations to weddings. This was the first time however we reserved... More

My husband and I have been going to Mancini's for years and it never disappoints. I always order the same entree, the lobster tail. My husband always orders the strip steak. Both are always good and I love the atmosphere of this place. It's like stepping into old school Vegas. While you are waiting for a table they have a... More

I guess this venue has been open by Italian brothers for 65 years. Built to fit around 500 plus persons, with several seating halls, a huge bar area, and weekend live entertainment. The decor is reminiscent of seventies Vegas down to the carpet. The charred black garlic bread in the breadbasket is really good. The lobster and steaks are all... More

We recently booked on of the private rooms at Mancinis for a private family event. We were able to choose a few items off their menu from which our guest could order. The room we were in had a bar from which our guests were able to order drinks. Super food...great atmosphere. Thanks to the Mancini family for keeping it... More

Mancini's is the heart and soul of St. Paul dining. It grew up from a small bar and cafe into an institution. A beloved, part of the city scene with its incomparable commitment to the community. honest-to-goodness Italian steak can not be beat, as good or better than its MPLS competitors at about half the rate. There are no airs... More

You can never be disappointed when you dine here. The atmosphere is top notch, the food is top notch, the toasted garlic bread is top notch, the brothers' attention to customers is top notch, the coziness is top notch and if you like to dance, the band and dance floor are top notch.

Nat King Cole might think Mancini's is "Unforgettable in every way" and maybe because the inside still looks like it's from his era, but I'm sorry darling, it's not that incredible! Sure there's a ton of nostalgia and history about this place and sure it's always packed, but I just don't understand what all the hype is about. Is it... More
