"This is the Manzo restaurant located inside Eataly. The ambiance is nice and romantic. It's great for a date or a night out with friends. The room is very dimly lit. We were greeted promptly by the waitstaff and were promptly seated.
Service was great. Our waiter was very friendly and answered a lot of my questions about Italian food.
We ordered some appetizers and separate entrees. One dish we had was thinly sliced beef with arugula and cheese. The combination was quite delicious. There was a faint sauce (or perhaps just salt) on the whole dish and I liked the taste of it very much.
For my entree, I took a gamble on this paparadelle pasta with mushroom and butter sauce. I hate mushrooms and thought these specially foraged trumpet mushrooms would change my view on mushrooms. Sadly, it didn't, but the rest of the dish was very good. The noodles tasted fresh and were oh so thin. The butter sauce was very flavorful and salted perfectly. I just left behind this pile of black mushrooms on my plate, but I ate everything else.
We got dessert and loved it. I got the chocolato to share with a dear friend and it was on point. The chocolate ganache cake was really dense. It paired well with the hazelnut ice cream.
The bread and olive oil were really delicious as well. Once you have high quality olive oil, it's really difficult to go back to the low grade oil. I kept on wanting to eat this bread and oil combination."
Ordered a pasta dish with white truffle shavings on the side ($50 extra). Truffle was meant to be shaved tableside as you would expect from this kind of establishment and as specified on the menu. When the dish arrived the truffle had already been shaved on the dish and didn't look fresh or smell of much. The pasta dish was also mediocre at best but that's another matter. When the manager came over he simply offered a half-arsed apology. Avoid, there's so many better places to eat in NYC in much better surroundings and with much better service.
Great food and good portions. Location is a bit hard to find as you have to go inside Eataly.
What an amazing place to stop at while visiting New York! The staff was so kind, outgoing and polite. Gave great recommendations on wine, seafood and the bread with oil is TO DIE FOR! YUM! We had a bottle of the red Sangiovese, I recommend it 100%!!
I love their pasta!!
The food is really good, but a bit pricey if you consider that you should go for the full course meal to be satisfied. However, this is NYC, so you shouldn't expect less. The service is really great and all the food we has tasted really good.
The food here is amazing Italian food that will make you think you are in Italy
Great, great food.
This is a place for connaisseurs!
Enjoy!
Super amazing food. Very expensive, but very high-end.
