Mancini’s Char House

A local fixture for over 70 years, the restaurant is known for its open-hearth charcoal broilers and legendary live music.

The business has been family owned and operated for more than seven decades, currently led by the third and fourth generations of the Mancini family. The tradition began in 1948 when Nick Mancini opened the original tavern. The restaurant's approach to dining is rooted in old-world traditions, featuring beef that is carefully raised and aged before being flawlessly broiled on large, open charcoal pits. This technique, inspired by the culinary heritage of Fragneto L’Abate, Italy, is used to prepare both steak and lobster.

Located on 7th St W in the West Seventh - Fort Road neighborhood, the restaurant is a short distance from Dousman Park and MacDonald Montessori School. It is situated near the intersection of Grand Avenue and Shepard Road.

Mancini’s Char House is recognized for its exceptional quality, outstanding service, and deep-rooted family values.
