Manuel's does not disappoint. I come to London two or three times per year, and always make it Manuel's at least once, sometimes twice, (and one year) three times. First and foremost the food is always freshly prepared and absolutely delicious. How many restaurants have I had bruschetta I couldn't tell you, but this is my favorite. The toast is always warm/hot, and the finely cut tomatoes are always cold and perfectly seasoned. This "fussiness" as some restaurants would call, are standard here, and the hot/cold brings a delightful change in the usual culinary sensations. Our pastas are always consistently good, freshly prepared, al dente, straight out of the pan, with delicious sauces only my mother could make. Although I fear to mention our favorite dessert (as it had once been sold out...), the panna cotta is always smooth and is served with a small cadre of beautiful fruits and seeds of the passion fruit. Can you open one in America?

On arrival we were greeted by a lovely welcoming smile and given the choice of seating. To start off with service was a little slow but improved by the time we received our starters and remained so for the remainder of our meal. The quality of the food was excellent (many thanks chef) wine select was reasonably priced with a decent selection available. Our meal was rounded off with a lovely surprise gesture from the management a scoop of delicious Cornish ice cream with a candle and birthday sing along accompanied by a shot of freshly made restaurant limoncello. A very delightful lunch with overall good customer service, we will return in the near future

Great little restaurant where all the staff want you to have a great meal with attentive service. We were lucky to have arrived on a live music night which was an added bonus. There seemed to be a lot of regulars which is also a good sign.
