Manicomio City

Outstanding food and service in a great & quiet location. The entire party of 5 thoroughly enjoyed your restaurant. I come here often on business and you just made my list of places I will take clients where I will be confident of a successful business dinner.

It's good but not great value for the price. It's not going to make it to my list of restaurants to take clients to near St Paul's/Bank.

A great quality Italian restaurant in the city. It is a perfect spot for a business lunch or team catch up etc as well. Brasserie and coffee downstairs and proper restaurant upstairs. Food is always authentic and service impeccable. This time we had burrata zuccini flower and king prawn salad - all delicious!

I love the food here and the service is usually good, but a few blips this time.

Not suitable for morning meetings

Terrific food, attentive but not obtrusive staff. A great place for a business lunch

The restaurant is located upstair with good modern decoration. It is not a big restaurant but we dont feel it was over closed to the adjoining table so we feel reasonable comfortable and relax.

The staff is friendly. But we did felt the Manager can do better when greeting us and show us to our table. The food is well cooked and presented. But not special.

Great food - broad bean salad particularly delicious.
Sat on the first floor which was quieter than the ground floor and more formal

Food was great, but they charge a “cover charge” on top of a service fee which is a joke given how expensive a plate of pasta is to begin with. My carbonara was £26.

A city find great team helping to lift the rather tired decor. Food and wine excellent value.

The food is consistently good at MC. It has a good balance of considerable choice while not diluting the quality of the offering. It is a proper business standard of lunching which does not disappoint.

Breakfast meal, very good. There are probably better value options though it was very enjoyable

Went for a business lunch - would definitely recommend!

First time at Manicomio and i enjoyed the food and ambience, and will definitely be back. Pasta was cooked to perfection. It was a Monday night when I went and it was very quiet - only a few diners. If you are in the area then it is definitely worth seeking out.

My friends and I ate a meal here for my birthday. Service was impeccable and the food was faultless.
Highly recommended.

Amazing food and a beautiful setting. Was a bit noisy so wouldn’t have a business meeting there, but great to see friends.

Took ex colleague for a business meal. Good food and service. Bit on the expensive side on the 2nd floor. Pastas are from £18-£29.
Nice building, nice ambiance.

Would happily go again.

Delicious Italian food in stylish surroundings in the heart of the city. Perfect for a business meal. I had the veggie pasta which sounds boring but it was SO good!

Nice food and place for a business meal

Always a reliable choice in the city. Great food, well prepared

I would recommend based on the quality of the food, however the service and attitude of the staff isn't ideal. The staff in the café downstairs seemed more friendly and accommodating than those upstairs in the restaurant. This is a shame, as actually the venue and food are lovely.

Will definitely return - lovely atmosphere and proximity to the City.

Always great food and great service. Highly recommend

An upmarket Italian restaurant, always reliable with lovely well-presented food.

Great food. Extensive Italian wine list. Efficient service. Good range of dishes including Vegan options. Would certainly recommend.

Nice atmosphere. Food was good, but way overpriced.

Brilliant food and service was very good, but definitely a business-feel. We were one of two tables upstairs so was very quiet and not much atmosphere, downstairs was much better atmosphere.

Very professional welcome, and the room (top floor) leaves good space between tables, so chatting is possible. Lovely food that three of us enjoyed.
One thing detracted from our perfect enjoyment; it was a hot sunny day and despite the drawn sunblinds, the area at our table by the window did become extremely hot. A difficult challenge to address...

Excellent food and great service!

Really impressive house special lunch on Wednesday

Great place. Chic and good food

I had been keen to try Manicomio for a long time and eventually came for dinner with two friends last week. The restaurant upstairs was empty upon arrival and the waitress seemed impatient for us to order, coming to the table every couple of minutes. The generous Skrei cod dish on bed of lentils that I ordered was rather delicious - perfectly cooked. An awkward moment came when the waitress brought the wrong desserts, and rather than solving the problem immediately, remained at the table telling us the kitchen was busy catering for a party downstairs and that we would have to wait 15 minutes for the correct dessert. Almost as if we were expected to accept the desserts as substitutes, which was a bit odd. We sent them back and the correct order turned up in about 5 minutes. The majority of my tiramisu tasted mainly of fresh cream, rather than mascarpone - I have eaten a lot better to be honest. The decor is elegant and the staff are courteous enough. Overall a good experience but not in a hurry to return.

The food was absolutely superb! The service was friendly, low key and speedy.

Showed up for breakfast. Ordered a salmon and bagel and my friend ordered a breakfast sandwich. When the waitress brought his breakfast sandwich she informed me that they were all out of salmon and will be unable to make my bagel. She asked me if I would just want a croissant instead. She was incredibly rude and then after all of that to charge me for the croissant.

The octopus was divine.
As was the whole meal.
Service impeccable.

Great place, a little hidden away but good value for money.

Food was really good and service was fast. Overall good place for a business lunch

Excellent service and good food at City prices

Manicomio in the city is a sound spot for a lovely dinner with friends - great food and good service. I keep returning.

Lovely dining spot in the city - it was unfortunately really quiet when we were there quite late on a Friday evening - the City had gone home! But the food and service were lovely and I would recommend.
