What can I actually say about Manuel's? Want somewhere romantic? Want somewhere with fantastic service and knowledge? Want somewhere that serves you the most delicious food you could think of? Manuel's is delightful, delicious, dedicated and most of all the entire staff care about the cause......delicious food and service. I love this restaurant and it has become our firm romantic favourite

We came here today to celebrate my mum’s 80th birthday and had a wonderful time; great service and generous portions of wonderful food. I will remember that saffron sauce until my last day on earth! We will definitely be back. ❤️

A fantastic evening in a fantastic atmosphere! The food was rich, fresh and delicious, whilst the swing singing entertainment was world class! An unforgettable evening not to be forgotten 😃

Must have been my lucky day, found this place randomly while trying to book "somewhere near Tulse Hill likely to suit an elderly vegetarian". Our lunch was a big success with such good treatment by the staff who did a little birthday ceremony for our vegetarian 90 year old just because the birthday came up in conversation. And the food, veggie and non veggie, was delicious. Highly recommended.

Amazing food. Scallops & Monk fish delicious but be prepared for a little wait between courses as Manuel prepares your food to perfection. Great attentive staff & atmosphere. Fantastic wines. Highly recommend

The food here is superb! It's not the cheapest, but it's good value for what you get, both in quality & quantity. I have family in Italy, and I can tell you this restaurant is authentic too. I'll definitely be going again, every time I'm in London! Luckily, I'm down there a few times a year. 😀

A piece of Italy in London. If you want to enjoy good quality food and good portions this is your place. With live music and super nice staff and an atmosphere that makes you leave London and be in Italy. I will definitely be back. Thanks to Enrico our Sardinian waiter! A 100% success

That's very good food, but a bit expensive for the area. Be aware with the Linguine with Lobster... there is no price in the menu and it's between some cheaper plates, it can make you confused. Extended Eat Out to Help Out is valid only for the "A La Carte" service".
