Manicomio - Carta

Just to say huge thank you to Olga for making our evening so pleasant. Food drinks were fantastic and the atmosphere was amazing. Thanks Olga, we will definitely come back again next weekend!

Great spot for a relaxed atmosphere away from the busy Kings Road. Delightful seating outside of Duke of York’s square great menu and very helpful staff even on one of what I expect is their busiest week of the year the service was faultless!

Absolutely perfect lunch with great food and excellent service. I took the linguini lobster that I love, this was absolutely perfect. Their Tiramisu is also one of a kind. I had my lunch outside on the terrace which is heated and this was outstanding. Ver carta

I’ve scored this restaurant 3* average as the ladies toilets were a disgrace. They smelt, there were no hand towels, flowers, diffusers in the toilets and the old diffuser that was there was glued to a window sill! The food was average but main dining room was noisy. The staff were simply wonderful, efficient and friendly.

On the positive side , a convenient and magical location with out door tables and fairy lights . Reasonable , but overpriced menu, but eating on a Monday night, a very empty restaurant , but felt bullied by the officious waiting staff, reaching over to remove glasses , trying to squeeze behind chair to pick up plate or throw down extra cutlery. Very intrusive service and then a subtle FIFTEEN service charge for a bit of burnt cauliflower and KFC ! Not good

Wonderful meal here. Very attentive staff were happy to seat us outside, contrary to our booking of an indoor table. They customised overhead heaters to suit us in the very pretty patio area. I had a gorgeous bowl of seafood tagliatelle (fresh, not dried pasta) and my daughter had the venison gnocchi which was a lovely rich ragu, but might have been nicer slow cooked and pulled. Good strong coffee too. Expensive fare, due to location too, of course, but worth it in my opinion. Ver carta

Excellent food and service. We usually go in the warmer weather and dine on the lovely terrace. Tonight we dined inside in the conservatory: lovely room. The service is genial and efficient. The food is scrumptious: the seafood saute langoustine, prawns, baby squid in a slightly spicy tomato sauce was outstanding. It's served with a hearty bread for soaking up the delicious sauce. Excellent zucchini fritti. Good and affordable wine list. The best choice if you are going to the Royal Court or in the Sloan Square neighbourhood. We've never been disappointed and will definitely keep going back.

Over rated and over priced. A disappointing experience bland food, small portions and lack of choice on the menu. Inflexible chef who was not willing to make minor alterations to a la carte dining. Service was not what I would expect in such a restaurant waiting staff contradicting customers and lack of attention to detail, for example not checking whether condiments were needed. Lack of customer care at end of meal no final greeting or thank you as we left and did not make the effort to show us to the door. Setting and ambience were the high points, although the toilets were rather scruffy. Leaves a lot to be desired.

Really really disgusted by the customer service, stopped by with my parents, half of the restaurant was empty due to the bad weather condition. We had waited 10 minutes at the door outside and then was seated outdoor, when waitress (or manager not sure) came to our table, I kindly said that we all want a bottle of wine with starters as a start, she very rudely told me to leave as the table was for dinner, did not offer another space, she left the table without an apology. I have never seen anyone this rude. Absolutely upset by this type of manner. Never ever going there again and will recommend everyone I know not to go. Ver carta
