Cafe Manzi’s

They have not skipped a beat on great food with a variety of menu items to please just about any palate. Had the Irish Eggs Benedict that was perfection over a bed of home made Hash.
Will be back soon for sure.

Four of us went here for lunch around 1 pm on a Friday. Their food was very good and a lot of value, it was around $ 40 for the 4 of us (which in some of my recent outings I’ve spent more than on my meal alone) even less if you factor in the Unilocal deal of $ 16 off for $ 8 which we used.
Their fries were excellent, the sandwiches are served with chips and a side. Their steak and cheese was on par with the best I’ve had. I preferred their pasta salad to their potato salad.
If you find yourself in the area during the hours they’re open I would recommend stopping in. I’d like to return when I’m in more of a breakfast mood

Great spot for lunch! Large fresh salads, sandwiches and soups! The place is rocking a diner sheik and could use a little attention, but the food is cheap, good and plentiful!

The long-​waited Valentine’s Day breakfast:
Woke up with the girlfriend and headed over to Café Manzi’s. I had heard about amazing french toast and a killer Egg Burrito, to which I was not disappointed in, but the wait was just too much. The location was not overly packed and yet it took over an hour to serve up what we had ordered. The food pulls a solid review, but the wait time was unbearable. Would totally try again though!

What a hidden gem this place is! From start to finish, everything was very good!
We went for breakfast on an early Saturday morning and was greeted right away by the workers. As we were looking through the menu, I decided to order the Italian meatball with eggs and my boyfriend ordered the meat omelette. Both entrees came out quickly and I immediately noticed the size of my meatball. Besides the meatball being very big, it was moist and very flavorful, and I couldn’t get over what a big meatball they give you for the price. My boyfriend’s omelette was tasty and our home fries were good as well.
Service was very good and prices were even better. To learn that this restaurant is a family owned restaurant and family members all work together made me enjoy it more. Easily one of my new favorite breakfast places, I just wish they served mimosas! HAHA! :)

I went in for breakfast on a Saturday morning. The décor and atmosphere seemed friendly. Unfortunately there seemed to be a ventilation issue since there was quite a bit of smoke coming from the kitchen that spilled into the dining area. Staff was attentive and friendly, so I enjoyed the service. In terms of food, I would say it’s average. I got the special Steak Benny which was tasty but my eggs were over cooked. I love runny poached eggs so was disappointed when I cut in and found the eggs to be overcooked. Probably won’t be visiting again.

Although the wait was a bit long, I could see that the food servings were worth the wait. The portions are huge! Pancakes could easily feed 2 – 3 people, especially if you are a light eater. Overall, seems like a lot of the customers are regulars and they didn’t seem to mind the wait. Just a lot of idle chat. Overall, it was alright.

Came here for breakfast a second time and tried a new thing they were trying which was breakfast pizza. Literally was breakfast on a slice of pizza, eggs, peppers, sausage. Sounds weird but absolutely awesome, the pizza crust was very good. I’m still thinking about it the next day. My friend had a meatball omelette which was delicious, and I had the loaded hash omelet. With 2 coffees, $ 24 later plus tip. Not bad at all. Also great service, staff was giving their recommendations and offered new things on the menu. Will be back this weekend!

This is a great little breakfast spot we visit often. We usually go at off peak hours so we’ve never had to wait and always find parking right in front. The food is delicious and very reasonably priced; they also have Groupon deals and Unilocal check-​in offers. The hash omelette is one of my faves (their hash is some of the best around) and it comes with crispy home fries and toast (get the Italian toast!). The stuffed French toast is amazing if you want something sweet for breakfast. I would definitely recommend this place!

Came here on a weekday for lunch, to use a
certificate ($ 10 for a purchase of $ 20 or more). The reason I mention it is because it was actually difficult to get to $ 20 for two people at lunch. The prices are quite reasonable and you can easily choose a lunch item plus drink for less than $ 10. I ended up with a teriyaki steak tips special and my friend got a burger. We were both very happy with our meals.
The atmosphere is casual and friendly. Service was very good. We’ll probably be back.

Staff is indeed very friendly and welcoming. We sat at the counter since all the tables were taken. Got drinks and our order taken right away.
However, we were there at 12:15 on a Saturday. We both order lunch, and the server tells us «we don’t do lunch on the weekends», although there’s nothing to note this on the menu. While we were there, 4 other customers came in looking for lunch and got the same answer. Weird.
Service, although friendly, was slow. Took 30 minutes to get an omelet and a wrap. Drinks were not refilled. A table that was ordering when we walked in still did not have their food when we left.
Food was very ordinary. A ham and cheese omelet with nothing special about it, soggy toast. Chips were stale. All of the visible ingredents behind the counter came from Price Rite, so quality is clearly not the goal here. Prices are very cheap, which I guess is the draw? Don’t really understand all the 5 star reviews, yes these people are really nice but it’s not a great place.

Had breakfast here with my fiancée this morning. The staff was friendly and welcoming right when we walked in. We had an omelette and a breakfast burrito. Both were very good, I added hash to my burrito instead of the normal bacon, sausage or ham option which I highly recommend doing. The home fries and Italian toast are the best around. Minus one star because, while the server was very nice, she wasn’t overly attentive. We were never asked how the food was or if we’d like extra coffee/​juice. Will come again.

Great local place, good food, friendly faces and fair prices. It is the kind of place where you can go every weekend. Blueberry pancakes were great and the Mediterranean omelet was both tasty and healthy. They have a number of healthy options. Well worth the visit.

My boyfriend and I have been here twice now and we both really enjoy it for breakfast. My favorite so far has been the stuffed french toast. We tried their meatball today and it was amazing! Staff is very friendly and their prices are good.

I work just down the street and stopped in for a bite at lunch. It was a good meal at a reasonable price. Me and a few co-​workers now go often. The food is appetizing and the prices are reasonable. We are all pleased with the portion size. All sandwiches come with a pickle, salad (the macaroni salad is delicious) and chips which make it a great bang for your buck… and, they serve breakfast items during lunch.
The place is small but very busy. Only a few staff but they are all equally friendly and always greet me with a smile. I find the waitress/​cashier to be extremely pleasant and easy to talk with.
Just note: the food is fresh and made to order so if you are on your lunch and need to be back call and order ahead. That is the only drawback, if you go it is a little slow but that is understandable considering they are preparing each meal fresh and have a small staff. They do take call in orders so it will be ready for what time you would like. That is what we now do, we call ahead and order, problem solved. We usually do take out anyways but they do have tables and a booth to sit at.
I saw that they also deliver but we have not used that service.
All in all, we have decided that you can’t beat it for the price.

I have lunch at café manzi’s at least once a week. The food is phenomenal! The specials are always great. The salads are fresh and enough for 2 meals. The eggplant parm is some of the best I have ever had. If you are looking for great food at a reasonable price this is your place.
The staff is great. They bend over backwards to accommodate their customers.

We had breakfast at Café Manzi’s this morning and we were very pleasantly surprised. I had the Chop & Eggs — two perfect pork chops with two sunny eggs, rye toast, and home fries for $ 7.99. My wife had the French toast with strawberries; she got a short stack and wished she’d gotten more. I posted photos of both.
A fellow at the booth behind ours had some sort of omelet accompanied by a huge meatball… that looked good! They have half-​pound burgers, too, including one called the heart-​stopper that I lusted after but avoided.
I think the coffee was Caravan.
There were maybe 5 tables full, with a mix of regulars and first-​timers. Our server, LeeAnn, was very busy but nevertheless she was friendly and efficient.
The décor is nothing special, but the food makes a return visit mandatory.

Pros: good, tasty breakfast overall.
Cons: Service could be faster. They could use more fresh ingredients, instead of from bottle/​can (juice, for e. g).

I don’t know why it has taken me this long to try this place! Absolutely delicious! Went on a Sunday morning and it was packed. Service was a little slow but there was only two people working so completely understandable. Also, it was so worth it! Went with a good friend and we had lots of time to chat over a good meal.
I got the Italian breakfast sandwich with a side of corned beef hash. The sandwich was so delicious. Classic breakfast with an Italian flair! Corned beef has was incredible and homemade (try it!). My friend got the fruit trio pancakes and they were HUGE and delicious.
I checked in on Unilocal and got free bottomless coffee! I would recommend this place to anyone! TRY IT! :)

This place is the best breakfast restaurant in the area. Lunch looks good too, but the only thing I have had that might be considered lunch is their homemade fist size meatballs which were awesome.
I really came here to write about their homemade corned beef hash though. It is the best in Worcester by a long shot. Gold Star Diner and Shakers have nothing on this place when it comes to homemade hash. By far the the best in the city.
Homemade everything. Delicious.
