Manicomio City - (Near City of London, South East)

5 /5 Tiago Rossi: Great food, excellent service. I went on a monday, so it was not busy. Great mussels for the entrée, crab pasta for the main dish and chocolate mousse for dessert. All great options. Also, a short menu ensures all comes out fast and tasting good!

5 /5 Christina Rosetti: Gorgeous restaurant. Food was lovely. Wine was very good. Servers were really good. Only small complaint was that our sides came out ten minutes *after* everyone finished their mains. It was a bit odd. UPDATE: Ive been back a few times since my first review with just 2 people and the service was great. Maybe the side dish thing was just a one off due to our large group?

5 /5 Gezenti Anne: We had the pleasure of dining at Manicomio in the City, and let me tell you—it was an experience to remember! From the moment we stepped inside, the cozy yet stylish ambiance set the tone for an extraordinary evening. But what really made the night special was the impeccable service. The team at Manicomio didn’t just serve food; they curated an evening. Attentive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable, they made us feel like VIPs, walking us through the menu with genuine passion and spot-on recommendations. Now, onto the food… where do I even begin? The signature dish at Manicomio is undoubtedly the carbonara with pecorino, Tuscan guanciale and Parmesan. Other standouts include Lobster Linguine, Tomato, Chili & Basil; Grilled Pheasant Breast with Pancetta. For starters, the brutta and zucchini fries were an absolute dream—crispy perfection paired with bold flavours. Moving on to the mains, the seafood spaghetti was a symphony of fresh, vibrant ingredients, while the beef was cooked to perfection and melted in the mouth. And just when I thought it couldn’t get better, the desserts arrived, stealing the show with their artistry and indulgent flavours. Highly recommend if you’re looking for an unforgettable dining experience in the City!

5 /5 Kirsten W: My husband and I had our wedding dinner in the conservatory, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. The space looked beautiful, the food was absolutely delicious and complimented by all our guests, and the staff were incredibly professional, friendly, and attentive throughout the evening. We were also pleasantly surprised by how lovely the courtyard area was — it added a really special touch. It was a truly memorable evening, and we’re so grateful for the care and effort that went into making it perfect. We’d highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for an exceptional private dining experience in Chelsea. It is the perfect location after a Chelsea Old Town Hall wedding. We don’t have our pictures yet but the room looked amazing.

5 /5 Crispin Zeeman: My wife and I were staying overnight in London near St Pauls, and we wanted a nice restaurant for supper. After searching around the area beforehand, we landed on this place - interesting and unusual menu, good reviews, walkable-to location. We were not disappointed - indeed our expectations were exceeded, by the food and the service. We dined on a Friday evening. It was fairly quiet - most of their business happens during the busier times of the week while Londoners are working in this area. One other thing that, in my humble opinion, that sets this place apart for everywhere else I can think of is their open support (tent cards showing their pride on every table) for the UK-based eco-charity, Borneo Orangutan Survival. Having visited Borneo and met some of these marvellous apes myself some years ago, I know how important this is and am (STILL!) delighted that my fine-dining experience in central London was also helping vital conservation efforts on the other side of the world. We would certainly come here again.
