Breakfast Menu "Manuel's Vintage Room" Gainesville

Really a lovely meal with outstanding service. Make a reservation! They have a limited number of tables, I counted 15, so getting a table as a walk-in is dicey. I had the pear purses to start followed by the macadamia chicken. Well presented, well made. They offer a variety of wines to go with whatever you order. They do have fresh snails, which I did not have. My cousin had that and reported that the dish was excellent. Dessert was a white chocolate cheesecake with a blueberry swirl and an espresso.

Could not be more impressed. Excellent, tender calamari with a garlicy red sauce made in house, butter soft skirt steak, and the lobster ravioli had a perfect blend of cheese and seafood flavor. The pasta had a made in house texture, and the staff was outstanding.

Fabulous experience. Manuel himself greeted us and chatted for a bit, nice man. Delicious dinner, ordered the steak frites special and it was cooked perfectly. We enjoyed the lovely table in the window and service met expectations. I definitely recommend this place.

A little pricey, but absolutely delicious and amazing food. Hands down the best Italian in North/Central Florida ( even beats anything in Tampa and I have tried almost every Italian place in Tampa).

This place is amazing! Definitely one of the best restaurants in town and probably some of the best food I have had in my life. My wife visited Italy and she said the food at Manuel's was just as good, if not better, than what you got in Italy. The lobster ravioli is amazing! It seems like it would be a small portion but it will fill you up. One of the best dishes here is the rack of lamb special when they have it. It is expensive but the food is definitely worth it. The restaurant itself is quite small but that adds to the ambiance. Definitely one of my favorite places. I love going here!

Really cozy, friendly Italian restaurant with excellent service and food. Best pasta I've ever. They have a wonderful appetizer that is basically a pasta purse and it was delicious. The fresh bread and dipping oil was also very good. It is a small place so reservations are absolutely recommended.

Great service, and a pleasant atmosphere, and it is one of those places you can get in and out of quickly for a wonderful Italian meal, or take a date or family and hang out for hours! The food is unique and you can tell the chef definitely cares about his menu and flavor profiles. Make sure you make reservations because it is a small restaurant, and walk-ins are usually not able to be seated. That being said, it is a little pricey and the wine is a little expensive for the quality. Still, I would definitely go back.

We just had a fantastic time along with an exceptional meal. Our waitress (Amanda) was simply adorable and genuine. She knew the menu and offered her opinion with knowledge and experience. The restaurant is cozy with a home feel to it. We had the specials which were both wonderful. We started with the caprese salad and white bean soup. You cannot go wrong with these choices. Next time we will try the gnocchi and the ravioli which Amanda mentioned were delicious.
