we always had fresh Mancinis bread when we visited Grandma who lived in the McKees Rocks neighborhood. In the early 70's the entire family moved to Phoenix, AZ. Now when relatives visit PA, they always bring back a suitcase full of mancini's bread for us to enjoy. Served with real butter, the taste brings back wonderful memories. Any chance of giving out the recipe? I can't find good bread in Phoenix! Please!!!! eliz29az@aol.com

5 Stars: The Best Bread (by Melissa H.)

I grew up in Pittsburgh and every time we visited my grandmother in McKees Rocks we stopped for freshly baked Mancinis bread. The bread was so good it would be eaten by the time we got home. This is the best bread I have had in my entire life. I have moved to Georgia and have never had bread like this. The bakery is quaint and this just adds to the authenticity.

2 Stars: American bread WIth Italian Name. (by Marchello P.)

When I was a young boy, my family and I moved from Italy to Pittsburgh, Pa. I left behind all my friends and most of my family, but the one thing I missed most was the bread we use to get from the bakeria in our little town. I hate to be blunt but nobody knows bread like we do. So take it from someone that knows, Mancini's bread is for people who don't know any better. If you want real Italian bread from old school Italian bakers, you haft to eat Rimini Bread from Rimini Bakery. When we came to America it was the only bread that reminded us of the bread in Palermo. Ask anyone who knows Rimini Bread and they will tell you the same. If you live in McKee's Rocks then I understand you want to eat the bread from your hometown, but if you live outside McKee's Rocks and want to eat "Real Italian Bread" then you haft to eat Rimini Bread.

Mancinis Bakery provides fresh Italian bread and rolls for local
Italian food stores. I enjoy serving their Italian bread with dipping oil and spices. It is an easy appetizer and always gone at the end of the party. The bread is always fresh. Mancini's also sells the fresh dough which allows you to bake your bread fresh at home.

5 Stars: I go out of my way for Mancini's (by Valerie C.)

I used to work near this excellent, family owned bakery. But now I will make a special trip to go there, and I live about 45 minutes away! You can't beat the fresh-baked bread - the Twist is out of this world! I always stop a pick up a bag of their dough (and the price is outrageously reasonable for homemade dough) - and go home to make my own calzones! They've just added a low carb bread to their selection, but I haven't tried it yet. Parking can be a problem as it's on a side street in McKees Rocks, and if you go at lunchtime, there will be a line out the door, but it's worth it!

Nothing in this world is better than a piece of fresh, warm bread from Mancini's bakery in McKees Rocks. I grew up in a house up the hill from this bakery, and the scent of their baking bread alone was enough to make my mouth water! Their breads (I recommend a twisted loaf) go perfectly with just about any meal, they make great sandwiches, or they can stand alone and make an incredible snack. They have even added a low-carb bread to their menu. After having Mancini's bread, you'll never care to buy any other!

This is a great place for outstanding bread. The italian bread is out of this world, the twist is even better. My kids love the raisin bread and it makes great french toast. At home hoagies are out of this world on their rolls and buns. Top Notch!
