@lailaspantry: i honestly hate to slate a restaurant because i know first hand how much hard work gets put into it but guyssss- the way this place is OVERHYPED!!! that ricotta and focaccia everyone raves about??? mid. the kale pasta?! literally green lemon and butter pasta. i will say the salad and tartare were unreal- it’s like i could see glimpses of greatness but the next dish would dash all hopes 🥲 idk- service was really nice though and ambiance was cool- did feel a bit rushed to turn over our table which was surprising since it was a tuesday at 5:30 lol #lailaspantry #manteca #londonrestaurant #restaurants #foodreview #RestaurantReview #italianrestaurant #londonfood
nothing makes me trust a creator more than some reviews being negative- shows you're honest! cold focaccia is a crime

The issue is that the menu changes so much, 2x a day, every day. I have been maybe over 15-20 times to Manteca and sometimes it blows your mind and other times it’s barely above average.

I’m shocked!! I dont like Italian much and I LOVED this place! The service was impeccable - sommelier helped pick wine, and gluten free set menu was incredible!

Fully agreed!!! So overhyped for a city that’s full of actually fun and exciting menus!

Im so wary about these hyped restaurants now. So tired of spending £80 on some cliched small plates and leaving underwhelmed and hungry.

Someone who gets it! Everyone raves about this restaurant and my entire party thought it was just underwhelming and the service was subpar

When it first opened it was great. But you’re right about things being under seasoned. A real lack of quality control
