Manly Italian Restaurant

Visited here for the first time last Saturday evening. The atmosphere is great - very authentic family restaurant feel! We didn't have to wait for a seat, even though we didn't book. The air conditioning did not seem to be working very well as it was quite hot inside, however it had been quite a hot day, so that can be forgiven. The service itself was below average. The waitresses never looked around the room, so we had to call out to get their attention every time we needed them. The mains took well over an hour to come out, which was quite frustrating as we were very hungry. The food itself was pretty good, perhaps a little bland, but reasonable for the price, and very decent serving sizes. The Oysters were fantastic (but could have been a little bigger). The cheesy garlic bread was the highlight! When it came time for the bill, we had to again call over the waitress and ask for the bill. After 10 minutes she still hadn't brought it, so we had to go up to the counter and sort it out ourselves. There's room for improvement, but overall a reasonable experience.

Beautiful old fashion GENUINE Italian family restaurant! Their service is personal, food is incredible and atmosphere is cosy. It's far from the trendiest place in town, but it is great food and very reasonable prices with genuine family service. Its the kind of place that once you've been there a few times, there's a good chance you'll end up sharing a glass of vino with the owner. (Joe)

We have come for the last few years and always delicious but this time a bit disappointing. Always have veal and mango as so good. But not enough mango this time . Garlic prawn entree still delicious. Waiting to get served took a long time snd a long time to get our meals But did see a sign on the door where they needed staff. All in all love this restaurant and hope you take heed of my comments.

Love this place so much that we are regular visitors at least once a month for the past few years. They do the BEST chicken schnitzel EVER! I’m a schnitzel snob but this is hands done awesome every time! They also do awesome garlic bread and I love their fettuccine alla Sophia! Dina is awesome and always makes us feel welcome 👍👍
