Manicomio Awards

Manicomio Restaurant Review:

Manicomio offers casual but stylish dining in a pretty restaurant with a deli and café attached. There's a heated area for year-round al fresco eating, and tables at the front, making the restaurant a top spot for watching the Chelsea crowds as they waft by. The food is modern Italian with the treats starting with the focaccia baked twice daily on the premises. Then choose from the likes of speck with pear, honey and Pecorino or char-grilled cuttlefish with fregola, perhaps oxtail ravioli and on to chicken with braised cavolo nero and walnut sauce. Ingredients are top-quality and local or especially imported. You can eat more casually in the deli-café in a conservatory-style dining area which leads into a walled terrace section. Also at 6 Gutter Ln., EC2, 020-7726 5010.
