Reviews for Manoli Canoli in Chevy Chase, MD
Honestly have been eating here a lot and reviewed this positively a few years ago. So clearly you xan see I have been a... customer. I have eaten in, bought to go, bought bottles of wine, olive oil and now that will stop. I will no longer be doing sothanks to the owner and apparently his rude 10 year employee which was never pleasant. She attacked my wife and 8 year olddaughter because our daughter needed to use the bathroom because she has to travel two hours. Pretty nasty attitude to behonest. Sad to say goodbye, especially to the spinach ravioli which is what we always purchased. But with the attitude of theemployee and manager as you can see in his response below they do not need customers! It is a shame that a family restaurantdoes not have a family oriented heart. Seriously, what is so upsetting to you and your employee that an 8 year old used yourbathroom. Do you want a dollar so she can use it? I guess we will just go over to the giant, their employees do not seem to havean issue even if we don't buy anything. Props to the workers there that have a heart for an eight year old. Read more
Ok, we have loved this place for over a decade. When our now 11 year old boys were newborns, this was the first restaurant we... dared take them with our family of 6 (their 4 year old sisters as well) because they easily accommodated our huge twin stroller.In addition, the food has always brought us back. They have a nice mixture of Italian and Greek and even some stuff our kidslove for those pesky picky eaters. The owner, Stavros I can’t say enough about, he cares so much about his business and goesabove and beyond to make you feel better welcome. Maybe the best part is you can buy the best olive oil and take it home, madeon the family olive farm back in the old country. It’s sooo good. Read more
Good, healthy food. Huge portions, so sharing is a great way for a family to sample everything. Italian, but also some very good... Greek specialties. Very good deserts. Read more
Cozy little spot with great food and reasonable prices. Solid vegetarian options as well as traditional Italian and Greek fare.... Definitely grab a canoli for the road! Read more
This place has been here a long time and you can’t beat the value you get for the quality of food. A glass of wine is only... $7.50 and I enjoyed a nice glass of Pinot Noir & a Gyro. It was delicious snd just over $20. Would have been double in DC! Niceto eat well and not break the bank; by the way the menu is vast with lots of Greek and Italian dishes. Read more
Nothing better than a hot pizza on New Year’s Eve. Mira, thank you for suggesting I get a half cooked pizza since the... restaurant was closing early that day and finish executing the pizza at home per your instructions. Perfection! The crust wasgolden, the cheese was melted perfectly and everything blended well. What a way to start the new year! Thank you! **** ManoliCanoli oh me oh my; I don’t know whether you are Greek or Italian. But mama mia! You are a wonder among wonders! Pizzarestaurants need to spy on how they make their dough so wonderful that you can’t wait to eat the crust instead of cutting itoff with a chain saw. It took us 3 years to find this restaurant. Their grilled veal and mushroom piccata with capers isfabulous. The moussaka is wonderful. I prefer my chicken parmigiana with linguini and their white wine cream sauce instead ofthe tomato sauce. The Chef was very accommodating. The front of the house staff, Mira, is a gem as are her Italian accentedcounterparts. They are all very polite and accommodating. Their home grown Greek olives were to die for but the packaging leavessomething to be desired. Read more
They serve you with their own extra virgin olive oil, hand picked. The crew are warm and welcoming. There are good variety of... Italian and Greek food on the menu. If there were three and half star, I would give a higher ranking. Read more
Have been coming here for years. Cozy dinning place on the small side. Let’s call it intimate. They have amazing tomato sauce... and chicken parm; the lasagna, pizza, and soup are also good. We take friends and family here when they visit. The staff andowners are great. Read more
