Manicomio: Reviews & Ratings
Dear Andrei and team Sincere thanks for making us a wonderful wedding in October. You made everything so stress free for us. All of our guests are still raving about the food but also the service was excellent even though you had a busy restaurant. You made us feel like VIP’s, even greeting us at the door yourself. We are so sorry it has taken us so long to put this into words, but we have been telling anyone who will listen how much we are glad we chose Manicomio for our special day. I wish I could remember our waitresses names, they were lovely. They enjoyed our ottolengi wedding cake :) Lots of love Richard and Jen
Held my 30th Birthday dinner here in their private garden room and it was exceptional. Perfect for a summer celebration. Service and hospitality was amazing. Patricia, our main host/server for the evening, was 10/10. Food and drink were delicious and the decor the restaurant provided was stunning and elegant.
Fabulous service and food, great location, with option of dining outside (weather permitting). Outstanding.
For the 2nd time I’ve had the most fantastic experience! Service; I was greeted by Nuria such a warm, welcoming, friendly and professional spirit. I have mobility issues and there was nothing she didn’t do to accommodate me. Poonam & Seymon also were so attentive, accommodating, professional & made me feel like family. They all did. The GM Andrey is extremely deserving of his position! There are no words for his expertise in customer service! Food; I went back as I had a great starter of steak tartare with duck egg yolk, they didn’t have this as they are a seasonal restaurant which I really appreciated. I had salmon tartare to start, swordfish for main which was extremely succulent & finished the night with a great cheese board, I highly recommend. Cocktails; the margaritas were flowing, very fresh & not too strong, but enough to enhance my whole experience. I can not recommend this place enough, fantastic place, food, drinks & ambiance. If you’re anywhere in London it’s worth the travel. Absolutely LOVE THIS PLACE
We were in London for some business. Looked around and saw this restaurant. It was definitely a good choice. The service from when we arrived to when we left was all really fantastic. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. The food was really good. Full of flavour and really well presented. We tried a few things from the menu and shared. They were all absolutely perfect. Coffee is excellent too. Service was fast, despite being very busy. All really great, thanks so much for having us!
Manicomio Chelsea: A Memorable Celebration... Hosting a charity celebration lunch at Manicomio Chelsea was an exceptional experience. The private dining room offered an intimate and elegant setting that was perfect for our event. The service was beyond exemplary, with our wonderful Patricia attending to every detail with warmth and professionalism. A special touch was our new director being part of the wine selection process, which added a unique and personal element to the day. The food was simply amazing, receiving high praise from all our guests. Overall, Manicomio Chelsea provided a wonderful experience, making it an ideal venue for any special occasion.
Dear Andrei & Adam, Myself and Liam want to thank you both for such a perfect wedding reception. Everything looked stunning, the food was amazing and all the wait staff did a fantastic job and were so lovely. You both did an incredible job of organising and putting it all together. Sincerely, thank you so much. We look forward to eating at Manicomio again as will now always have a special place in our hearts. Thank you, Natasha & Liam xxx
