• Anyone been to Manteca? I'm taking my dad there for his birthday in about 3 weeks time.

  • Been about 6 times this year, I think that says it. Duck Fazzoletti is a must try! If you're into wines, have a glass of something before dinner at Passione Vino around the corner (closed on weekends).

    Disclosure: I do have a working relationship with both of them (Just like most places mentioned the last few pages, nice to see :) ), but I keep going back on my own dime!

  • No but it’s been top of the list for some time

  • Wife took me for my birthday, on a recommendation from a friend of a friend who is a restaurateur. The food is fantastic, couldn't fault it. The service, once inside, is great.

    However, we were sent multiple texts from the restaurant saying "you're meant to be here at 8 for your table" rather bluntly. We arrived a few mins late, walk past the queue snaking out the door, which we assumed was for walk-ins, only to be told "that is the queue for 8pm bookings" We were then made to wait 45mins outside in the rain before being seated. We asked the waiter why it was so chaotic to get in, and he said "it's always like that" 🤷🏼‍♂️

    Anyway, food is great, but my wife said she wouldn't go again because of the queuing fiasco
