Mancuso's Restuarant - Scottsdale

Hostess and server was very pleasant. Thank you for an enjoyable experience.

The escargot and the mushrooms were excellent. The fried calamari was overcook, tough and tough. Wedge salad was just OK. We only had appetizers. Staff was fabulous.

I ordered a crab lump salad for what I thought would be my dinner. So small amount of crab in salad that I needed to order an entree for dinner. That ended up an expensive dinner.

Chicken parmesan was delicious as were their meatballs and caesar salad

Dinner was just awful; from the waitstaff to the food. Ordered the chicken Marsala that was drowning in sweet Marsala sauce (tasted like maple syrup on chicken). The other entree was Bolognese, again inedible. Our Caesar salad was adequate, but really did they need to charge 50 cents for two small pieces of anchovies for a salad that’s $14.00? Wait staff did not check to see if we wanted another wine. She did recognize we hadn’t really eaten our meals and offered a tiramisu to share…but we didn’t have dinner! Adding to this, no manager came over to rectify the problem. The final straw was the wait person’s decision to take umbrage with us over a greatly reduced tip on the bill for food we were unable to eat. Apparently she’s in college and it’s up to her patrons to fund her education. This is what she told us. We were shocked to say the least. It is strongly recommended that you not dine here. The food is not inexpensive (which isn’t a problem if it’s edible), the service just terrible, and the dining room very, very loud.
