The Pittsburgh City Paper recently reviewed Mantini’s Woodfired restaurant on the South Side:
Unlike the old Mantini’s, which consisted of an orange-walled dining room beyond an old-fashioned bar, the new Mantini’s feels expansive and urbane, like a loft at ground level.

The seating area is large and unfussy, dominated by exposed brick walls, a hardwood floor and black-painted ceiling. Instead of flame-colored walls, a couple of gas fireplaces warm things up. In the back is an open kitchen, and by open, we mean wide-open: A counter runs around the perimeter, with barstools for those who consider cooking a spectator sport. Count us in.
