The history of Manci's dates back to 1924 when it was transformed from a wooden produce warehouse into a filling station by Italian immigrant Buster Manci.

Reviews
"I've been here twice to see a musician I enjoy, and both times I received amazing service from Audrey and Bridgette. I haven't tried the food yet, but the beer is ICE COLD and they even carry one of my favorite craft beers. Look forward to future visits!"
"Fried seafood dinner... Comes with oysters, shrimp and fish. Plenty of food. Shrimp po'boy filled with shrimp (keep your chin over your plate). Eclectic decor. Came because it is listed on Triple D."
"Very good spot, nicely decorated which provides a great atmosphere. As featured on DDD, the food is amazing. The shrimp platter was very good, 12 good sized shrimp on it. The pimento burger was also amazing and was cooked perfectly. The tater tots were great, very crunchy. The hush puppies had a maple syrup taste to them which was unique. Would come here again for sure."
"Love the cozy atmosphere! Drinks were really delish! Food was amazing! Love the live music from stormfolk. Great experience overall! Try the Christmas drinks specials! Shrimp PO boy and smoked tuna dip - yum"
"This place is a classic. My great grandma used to frequent the place back in the day. It's changed for the better. Good neighborhood bar. Didn't have any food."
