above expectation tbh - the food was simple but delivered at a very high quality level. The stuff managed to accommodate us at a table although our booking was 2h later. great experience sitting in the patio. Overall a great experience
Fantastic service and location
Lovely food, attentive staff and a very pleasant atmosphere. A little disappointed that there was no brunch menu as we had really been looking forward to that, but I have to say the service was stellar.
Nice environment, great location, food was pretty mediocre however
We were disappointed. The food was comparable to high street Italian fare, except about triple the price. The prices on the menu here on OpenTable weren't representative of the actual prices on the menu we were given, we understand restaurants are trying to make up for lost time but the amount we paid versus the quality of food we were served was just extremely disproportionate and disappointing. I had the most expensive pasta dish on the menu and it frankly didn't taste very nice, and it was garnished with an empty lobster shell, which seemed strange and like they were trying to justify the high price tag.
My husband also called ahead to let them know it was our anniversary and we were assured there would be something done, however, even after ordering dessert, they didn't bring out the promised 'special anniversary dessert' and my husband had to remind the server of our anniversary after the bill was brought, and only then were we brought a small piece of cake and 'champagne'- the maître d' offered us champagne as an apology, but when the server brought it he called it prosecco and it did indeed taste like cheap prosecco. After spending a huge amount of money on our anniversary dinner, this left a really bad taste.
Lovely place to have lunch at. Great Ambiance and location. Amazing food and service. Great for Outdoor dining.
Great cocktails, wine, food and service! Really enjoyed and will be coming back!
Good food! Good service!
Manicomo is excellent, great outdoor space, friendly staff and a top chef. We always have a great time there.
It is always a treat to dine at Manicomios. The food is delicious, the service charming and they always make an effort, no matter the restrictions, to make a warm atmosphere.
Outside only of course but efficient heaters kept us warm. Great food - pity they’d run out of the Chianti we wanted but otherwise a flawless experience
Good outdoor setting limited menu
Good to watch the world go by
Always enjoyable good food and good service will definitely be back
Very disappointed. Our reservation was for 11 am breakfast. We arrived and were told that breakfast finishes at 11 am and we needed to order immediately, the menu on the table said breakfast finished at 11:30.We were told it was a mistake by the printer. Why was that not crossed out & the correct time put on. The restaurant was empty but our table was not ready. It was a cold day and some of the heaters were not working. They had four months to make sure everything was in working order. It took 15 minutes to seat us. We placed our order after a lot of messing around and we had to keep calling for the drinks that were forgotten, when the food arrived it was only warm. There was obviously no management watching the restaurant as it was a quiet morning.
Great service, good food, friendly staff. Fabulous night out !
Staff friendly and helpful , wonderful happy atmosphere lovely to be out again - thank you!
Excellent service in an idyllic setting hidden away behind Sloane Square.
Duke of York Square is a great spot if you want (or have) to eat outside, and Manicomo is well set up with spaced out tables, plenty of heaters and rugs. The food is excellent - not cheap, but this is Chelsea!
Food dependant on what you chose - service very good, staff charming.
the food was so so good and the service fabulous - our first lunch in a restaurant for so long due to lockdown this was like a little bit of heaven! the weather was bright and sunny but very chilly but we had blankets and heaters and wine and we cant wait to get back - thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Staff were very friendly and the food great. We appreciated everything they did to keep it Covid safe whilst still providing a lovely environment.
Nice place however bit cold. Think they need to invest in more effective outdoor
heating and ensure food does not also arrives at the the table cold which both serve
to spoilt an otherwise positive experience.
The young staff were very personable, and helpful, made every effort to ensure that we were warm, on a very cold april 12 2021
Our table was reserved for brunch at 10.30am. At 9am I got a call to be informed that, unfortunately, they had a problem in the kitchen and would not be able to provide any food. I said it was oj as we mainly wanted to meet up - 1st day opening up 12th April. I arrived on time and was directed to a lovely table but right next to the only 2 other table occupied (?!?) I mean, if the idea is to keep apart why put us right next to one another when there is no need. Talking to the waiter I asked what was wrong in the kitchen . Surprisingly I was told that the problem was that the toilets were not working and they couldn’t serve us food . By then we were 3 people there for about 30 minutes. They forgot to ask us to fill up a form or scan on the NHS app- which I had been told was an obligation. I did as well, to be frank. But it should have been pretty visible. 10 minutes later the 4th friend arrives and goes straight to the toilets. Again, for my surprise they were in perfectly working order.. ?! I really do like this place but they haven’t quite got their act together .
ManiComio never disappoints. Charming service , delicious food and chic but relaxed atmosphere. A happy place to have a quick lunch or a formal dinner.
Lovely ambience.
So sorry you are going into another lockdown - stay safe!
Despite the covid restrictions, we had a really lovely evening at Manicomio. The staff and the meal were excellent.
Manicomio has made a huge effort for outside dining. They have heaters, blankets and the place looks lovely with lots of lights. Highly recommend it the food is great and the service really excellent.
Lovely outdoor space, with heaters and distanced from
Other tables. Very nice ambience, and great service.
We were sat outside but there was a heated and sheltered from the wind so was great. There was lots of choice on the menu. The food was fresh, flavourful and nicely served. I really recommend this restaurant.
We like this lace a lot Food is delicious, service friendly, good energy. It one of our favorite local restaurant.
Good enough for Gordon Ramsay and good enough for me. We both agreed the food and service were excellent.
