What started as a grocery store in 1898 has become one of the most popular restaurants for locals to grab a hearty meal.
When Sebastian Mandina came from Palermo, Italy in 1898, he opened the business as a grocery store.

Eventually his sons, Anthony and Frank, would work in the store, and slowly the business evolved into a pool-hall that also sold sandwiches.
In 1932, Anthony and Frank flipped the pool-hall into Mandina’s Restaurant.
