Pleasantly contemporary with a cozy ambience makes family owned Manucci's on West Lake Drive a popular neighborhood restaurant. Serving Italian cuisine, its main dining room looks on to a patio dining room which has windows on all sides. The restaurant offers weekday pasta specials as well as a late night bar menu. A children's menu is also available.

An initial selection from the menu reveals Manhattan clam chowder, mesclun greens, Caesar salad, baked clams, eggplant rollatini, sautéed calamari, rigatoni alla vodka, lobster ravioli, fusilli with grilled chicked, spinach, wild mushrooms and sundried tomatoes in a light herb broth. Main course options could include tile fish pomodoro, grilled salmon with a honey balsamic glaze, rack of lamb with oven roasted tomatoes and potatoes and steamed lobster with seafood risotto and seasonal vegetables. The late night bar menu has thick crust brick oven pizza, burger sliders, tuna sliders and Philly cheese steak. Pick a homemade dessert to end on a sweet note. A glass of wine or martini completes the selection.
