Mannino's Cucina Italiana 126 South Broadway, Pitman, NJ 08071

"Calamari had a nice sauce but was like hard rubber. Scallop appetizer was listed as ‘sauce’ but was actually soup overpowering the scallops. The Ceaser salad could have been really nice but their own dressing was definitely lacking. Nice people but you have to be able to get the basics right."

"The service and atmosphere were good, but it’s way too expensive for just ok food. Everything on the menu is basic and starts at over $30 per person for an entree... for pasta. Veal and fish start at around $40. The portions are average and you’d get the same quality food from Olive Garden. Not worth it. For what one person’s meal costs, you’d be able to make at home and easily feed 4 people."

"Very nice restaurant in a very nice town! Food was good. Portions could be bigger for the price that they charge. House salad was delicious but ridiculously small. Probably won't return due to those issues. And when it's crowded it is very, very loud! It is one large room with a whole bunch of tables. Overall, it was a nice experience, though."

"A great surprise, our first time in Pitman, and we were lucky to find this gem of a restaurant. The appetizers and salads were delicious and the entrees were so good we were sharing forkfuls around the table. We ordered 7 different entrees, and they were all wonderfully presented, hot with different sauces. The mushroom ravioli with a white truffle sauce, a special of the day, was amazing. A BYOB if you just want a glass of wine but they do have a wine list to order a full bottle. The menu offers a good variety of choices, plus specials of the day, dine in a good sized room with a comfortable atmosphere and great service. Our waitress was friendly, patient with the youngsters when they ordered and very attentive to our needs."

"This was our second visit. Both visits were the same. Fantastic. Food is authentic and delicious. The service is exceptional. Both visits we had Louis as our server. I don't know if he went to school for hospitality or had some formal training or if he's just a natural at his job. We had the calamari and arancini appetizers, and I had the lasagna with meatballs for my entrée. Everything was delicious."
