Very nice indeed!!. Situated in a rather quiet and in secluded area of the city - makes for a more sophisticated and relaxed ambience. It screams class and perfection from the friendly staff, ready to welcome and serve you with a fantastic engaging manner....to the decor which has obviously been very carefully picked! Bravo!!
Manicomio really surprised me in a positive way. Manicomio is an Italian restaurant with 2 branches in London, one next to Sloane Square and the other one close to St Paul’s station, and I have been to the Sloane Square branch a few times over the years and never found it that amazing, but when I went to the city branch last week, I was very positively surprised, not sure why really, they may have changed the menu or the quality of the city branch is just better. The Manicomio city restaurant has 3 floors (we sat on the top, third floor), and you use an elevator to get from one floor to the next, so it is a bit like SOS in Farringdon, but here the menu is the same on all floors, apart from the ground floor which you can also use as a casual coffee/ meeting place and where I have also been a few times to grab some coffee. The décor is very typical of a

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Manicomio restaurant with a friend, and I must say it was an unforgettable experience. From the delectable food to the exceptional service, every aspect of our visit exceeded expectations.
First and foremost, the food at Manicomio was simply outstanding. We decided to indulge in their coffee and pasta offerings, and we were not disappointed. The pasta dishes were cooked to perfection, with flavors that danced harmoniously on our palates. Each bite was a delightful symphony of taste and texture, leaving us craving for more. The attention to detail in the preparation and presentation of the dishes was evident, showcasing the chef's expertise and passion for culinary excellence.
What truly set Manicomio apart was the impeccable service. The staff members were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. They made us feel welcomed from the moment we stepped in and catered to our every need throughout our three-hour visit. It was refreshing to experience such genuine warmth and professionalism, which added an extra layer of enjoyment to our dining experience.
Although the restaurant offers outside seating, we opted to sit inside due to the slightly chilly summer weather. The interior ambiance was cozy and inviting, with tasteful decor that complemented the overall dining experience. While I can imagine the outside seating being wonderful during warmer months, the comfortable indoor environment ensured we could fully savor our meal without any discomfort.
In conclusion, Manicomio restaurant left a lasting impression on me with its remarkable food, exemplary service, and delightful atmosphere. Whether you're a coffee lover, a pasta enthusiast, or simply seeking a memorable culinary adventure, this establishment will surely exceed your expectations. I highly recommend paying a visit to Manicomio, as it embodies the perfect combination of gastronomic excellence and exceptional hospitality.
On entering I was sent upstairs to sit and the first thing I noticed was there was a strange smell, mustardy. Didn’t like it If it weren’t for the peculiar toxic smell I would’ve rated this restaurant five stars
Glanced the menu. It was expensive
I only had 50 minutes to spare so I ordered the chips only
They were very lovely and stood out against all other chips. They were perfectly cooked giant chips, not oily or overcooked or anything
Perfect!
That’ll do for £6/7
Glad I popped in

food and atmosphere is great so I'll go back again
It’s a hidden away bar and restaurant mainly frequented by law firms because of the location. All very amiable and a go to. (Didn’t eat this time).
A very popular restaurant during lunchtime for takeaways and dine in too.
I recommend the tuna and octopus as starters, especially the tuna which is a great sharing dish.
As the main, I subject Monkfish, good potion and take was brilliant! The only thing I would say, book in advance!
Downside of the whole experience would be that it’s slightly overpriced.
I like the fact that the menu is seasonal and pasta dishes change quite often. The ones with girolles were absolutely yummy. The beef carpaccio is also one of the best I ever tried.
Always a hit, especially the chicken milanese with Caesar salad. Delicious tiramisu : properly Italian . Great service and style, with lots of natural light - a hidden gem.
Decent food, could have done with a wider variety of dinner choices though. Friendly staff and pretty, modern style venue.
Fabulous week night date. Food and service were fab. Last min reservation and they made the night easy
Amazing food, especially the chocolate delizia with peanut butter. Staff were friendly and let us enjoy a long lunch without interruption in the sunshine. Good wine selection by the glass.
