    The Pork Belly is cooked to perfection, crispy on the outside yet tender and juicy on the inside. Highly recommend! Carbonara is basic, can’t go wrong with that. the Meat Lover Pizza was delicious, but the Funghi Pizza was not quite to our taste. Food came impressively quickly, service was great and staff were considerate, friendly and patient.

    I’ve been here a couple of times now for birthday dinners and the food is consistent. Servings are a decent size. We had carbonara, lasagna, Caesar salad, Korean BBQ wings, pork belly and lychee cocktails. They seem to have an Italian Asian fusion of food happening. I’m giving it 4 stars as one of the main meals came out well after all the others. If we had waited for the final meal to come out the meals that had been served would’ve gone cold. Despite the numerous staff on that night, the service felt slow and not very attentive.

    I'm probably going to hit a nerve as this place is a local favourite but after going back for the second time, i still feel the same. The food is far from authentic and unfortunately lacks flavour. The texture of my gnocchi was far from desirable and extremely over cooked. The olives were good, the service was good but that's where it ends for me.

    Luckily scored a table on a very busy Sat night! Very loud in restaurant, hard to converse. Restaurant very plain; no table cloth, music or notable artwork. A well run team of polite & efficient staff. Pork belly a tad dry. Risotto looked very 'ordinary', no garnish but absolutely delicious rich sand crab bisque throughout- Saved! Perfectly cooked side of greens (al dente 😎) Entree garlic pizza really needed a drizzle of olive oil as it was quite dry & chewy. Service, cleanliness great, better presentation would make the restaurant & meals more 'valuable' to the diner(a feast for the eyes). I'm keen to try their signature Pizza & Duck Ragu next time.

    Manny’s Italian is a regular destination for us for dinner and previously breakfast, when they offered breakfast for a short period of time. I’ve been begging them to bring back the breakfast on weekends as they were one of the best in the Redlands. Though I highly recommend their traditional Italian pizzas cooked in a traditional pizza oven. But if you don’t want pizza then there is an array of Italian cuisines to choose from for starters and mains. We regularly order take out and occasionally dine in for special occasions. Either way, the food is always spot on. If you don’t take out you can order delivery which can take a little while usually on average 30 minutes but the food is always kept hot. The dessert is just as amazing if only there was a little more variety. Bring back the sticky date pudding as that was my absolute favourite. The customer service is always very friendly and welcoming both via the phone and dine in. The owners are lovely and are usually working most nights serving and greeting customers, which is why they have such a great business as they’re very involved in all aspects of their business. Definitely worth a visit!

    Food was amazing. Had the bruschetta pizza entree, followed by the 4 cheese gnocchi with chicken. Do recommend. Staff were great too. Were able to seat us fairly quickly, even with a packed house. All the staff were very friendly and attentive. A wonderful experience all round.

    We walked here from some stunning views at Wellington Point. It was super busy but they found us a table. I had spaghetti bolognaise !!!! If you come here HAVE IT. It was a massive portion and just tasted so good. Service was so good, place was immaculately clean. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Also I have photographed the bottle of wine which was superb !

    THE BEST Italian in the Redlands. No contest. Staff are absolutely fantastic and are very funny. We cannot wait to come back and try more of the options in the menu!

    The food at Manny's Italian was incredible, easily the best Italian restaurant I have eaten at. The food is served in generous portions, and is absolutely delicious. A modern spin on traditional Italian dishes, but retaining the simplicity of authentic Italian. I highly recommend any of the homemade gnocchi dishes, especially the four cheeses one. I don't often say this but it was better than my Nonna's! Very light, gluten free, and incredibly tasty. The only reason why I didn't give 5 stars, is that the tables were too close together, definitely not 1.5m apart. The cocktails special menu was printed on paper (which can't be cleaned between tables) and was visibly dirty. And there was no hand sanitiser available. Aside from these issues related to covid, everything else was amazing and I'll definitely be back here many times in the future.

    As an Italian I am a bit fussy about Italian dishes and often avoid them altogether when dining out. I was taken out for dinner to this restaurant and I was pleasantly surprised. Some of the recipes were not authentic but none the less very nice. We all enjoyed our pasta dishes and the portions were good. The staff were lovely and attentive. The only downside was that the restaurant can get very loud and it was very hard to have a conversation so we left to have dessert in a quieter place. I will definitely be back, maybe at a less busier time of the week. Manny's is definitely a keeper.

    Nice selection of drinks, great customer service with a fast delivery of food that was outstandingly good especially the pork belly. Would highly recommend.

    Lovely atmosphere food was good just Indian ran restaurant no offence. Most Italian restaurants are Italian chefs.

  • 5/5 John C. 3 years ago on Google
    Excellent food & service.. A high benchmark set for other Redland restaurants to catch up to. We eat out alot and this is the only one we want to go back to. Poor businesses rely on advertising good ones need only word of mouth.

  • 5/5 Kirstie H. 3 years ago on Google
    Food was delicious! Great service, happy staff and overall an awesome night.

  • 5/5 Marc B. 2 years ago on Google
    Went on a Saturday night and it was reasonably busy. The team are super friendly and the service was quick. Entree was very nice. Mains were a good size, no ether of us could finish the meals even though we wanted to! Will be back.

  • 5/5 Chris S. 3 years ago on Google
    OMG the food is stunning. The service and atmosphere is also excellent. I had the wild mushroom Risotto and was blown away at how good it was. Indians cooking Italian food with loads of passion, it's a ripper. We had a table of 10 and the food was delivered promptly, so were the drinks. We were all mightily impressed and can't wait to go back again. With a big table they also took your name as you order so the bill can be split with no problems at the end of the night. They also own the Indian restaurant next door and we will be sampling that soon also. I felt hungry smelling it, as we walked out and passed by.

  • 5/5 Ben W. 2 years ago on Google
    Always great food. So much flavour and volume of toppings. We got two pizzas to share with some beers for a friendly catch up with mates. The staff were friendly and helpful. Table service is great. Will be going back for sure!

  • 2/5 Andrew H. 5 months ago on Google
    Such a shame booked online for 7pm you couldn't do that so they changed to 7.30 we arrived and there was no booking for Andrew only Anthony so they gave me a random table, we got our drinks ordered and by 8pm we were asked again for drink selection and that no drinks had been ordered.... Food was actually pretty good. We then asked for the bill, then went to the bar only to be asked what table we were at ?? Surely the bill you printed could have provided the info. Spent alot of money for very average service

  • 4/5 Mia H. 2 years ago on Google
    Great food and service and ambience. We had a nice, quiet time until the crowds came at 6pm and the noise level increased. But it's expected with a popular place like this. Would recommend it.

  • 5/5 Paul I. 2 years ago on Google
    Had a great meal and I look forward to making this my regular local Italian dining out venue. Try the Nutella pizza for dessert 😛

  • 5/5 Rachelle C. 2 years ago on Google
    Every time I eat there I’m instantly in heaven! Best Italian food I’ve ever had! Staff are fantastic and so friendly everytime! 5 stars is just not enough!

  • 2/5 Donna H. 6 months ago on Google
    Disappointed... I've been wanting to go for a while and finally went.. Ordered a seafood pizza for $32. Expecting at that price it would be jam packed with topping... It was a good size pizza with 6 large pieces, but two pieces had no seafood on them at all, only sauce and cheese.. there was 4 prawns, about 4 pieces of calamari and 4 muscles on the entire pizza... Crust was good and it tasted okay.. but very disappointed at $32. I've had much much much better for $20!

  • 4/5 Nikita V. 6 months ago on Google
    Service was prompt. Food was quite nice. The spicy calamari lacked spice and crisp. Overall great ambience.

  • 4/5 Eve W. 1 year ago on Google
    Ordering on the online platform is easy to use but the times for pick up are never anywhere near accurate which is annoying. Kitchen also needs a bell that front of house staff can actually hear, to alert them that orders are ready. Mine was sitting ready for five minutes until I alerted the staff. Pasta is good, pork belly is a very small serving size for the price, pizza is okay. Ordered warm olives and while they were good olives they were stone cold which was disappointing. It’s a pity that little things let them down because overall, it’s the best Italian we have in the area.

  • 5/5 Holly J. 1 year ago on Google
    Had an awesome experience here. The staff were absolutely lovely and catered for our large group very efficiently. Food came out very quickly and to a very high standard. I'll definitely be back again!

  • 3/5 Naomi F. 1 year ago on Google
    Extremely noisy & very busy. It was as loud as a nightclub. I couldn’t hear the server speak & I was right next to them. My dining companions had to shout to be heard by people around the table. We ordered the warm marinated olives for an entree. I bit into one & nearly cracked my tooth. They have pits. So beware. This place was pretty expensive, although the serves are quite large. The prawn pizza was very dry & impossible to eat without water to help swallow it down& the pork belly was alright but nothing to rave over. It was more carb heavy—lots of sticky rice & coleslaw. The worst part of the evening is how everyone is crammed in there & how uncomfortable the chairs are & how it’s so so so noisy. I really don’t think the food is worth the price you pay, either. I asked for more cutlery since the server removed the cutlery we used for our entrees. We were basically given our mains without cutlery so we were sitting there, unable to eat. I finally flagged down another server & asked for cutlery & salt & pepper. She came back & just dumped a pile of cutlery (more than we actually needed so no thought given) on the corner of the table, expecting me to hand it out to my dining companions—no extra serviettes either! She put pepper on our dish & she did mine first. I said twice, “That’s fine. That’s enough.” TWICE. She kept twisting the black pepper. She then said to me, “Say when.” I had said when—twice! I had to put my hand up to stop her. The place was that freaking noisy & loud the server didn’t hear me say stop when she was putting pepper on my dish! The tables are small square bistro tables that are pushed together. No tablecloths, no cloth napkins (only paper), no salt & pepper unless you asked & they just left us sitting there without knives & forks when they gave us our main. The olives should at least be pitted! The night cost upwards of $200. Doubt we will be back as very $ for average fare.

    Had a catchbup with friends there on a Sunday night. It was busy enough without being over busy. Food came out in a good time frame and was absolutely fantastic. Recommend the Korean BBQ Chicken and the Carbonara. The pizzas looked amazing too. Very friendly staff and no issues when we all paid separately. Great cocktails too!

  • 5/5 Debora C. 8 months ago on Google
    Finally got to dine here last night for Mums birthday. Almost the whole restaurant and staff sang along when they brought out her dessert with a candle. Was so nice. Thanks :) The Pizza was really tasty and the dough was almost perfect. Had to take one home for lunch today. Yummy!! The entrees were enjoyed, pasta was nice but the pizzas were the winners for us. Can’t wait to try some of the other dishes in the menu. We really enjoyed the experience. The service was also great.. attentive, friendly and although extremely busy, we felt like we were dining at a friends home. We will def be regulars. Thanks for a great night

    I deliver uber eats and came across Manny's a few weeks ago. The restaurant is always full. The atmosphere is awesome. I decided to try it for myself. Ive been a few times now. The food is consistent The portion sizes are generous. The flavours are fantastic and for Italian cuisine it's not overpowered by garlic or herbs. It some amazing food and I would recommend this restaurant 110%. The staff are also amazing and very friendly.

  • 4/5 Elliott 1 year ago on Google
    Manny’s Italian is worth the visit. The lasagne and entrees were good- the server assured us it was local produce. The veal scallopini was average but I would go back to try other dishes. Try to get a table outside inside is way too noisey. We met the owner and they own the curry house next door too so we will Have to try it. The drinks are cheap and the food is average price. We were seated inside initially but the staff were happy to help moving us outside when a table became available. The only unfortunate dish was the dessert it just didn’t make sense and the flavours didn’t match. Still worth going!

  • 4/5 Brian K. 1 year ago on Google
    Great little restaurant. Loved our food, wood fired garlic pizza, spinach and ricotta cannelloni, and pork belly. It is located on a very busy roundabout and lots of people walking through the tables on the sidewall, so was very noisy, but the great food more than made up for any of that. Definitely, recommend and will be coming back

  • 5/5 Wesley D. 11 months ago on Google
    This Italian restaurant is nestled within the main strip in Victoria Point. There are several restaurants in this area, but not many that have kept up with the modern look that makes it stand out. Manny’s Italian has a great lively vibe, with a friendly and attentive staff. Some reviewers have stated it is too loud, but any Italian restaurant/home is this lively, which is what makes it special. With the food, it came out quickly, even though they were busy. The menu presentation was more of a homestyle-Italian, rather than fancy, but had some great flavours. The Pork Belly dish was a bit sweet, and calamari not as crispy as usual, but overall a great experience the dishes were packed with flavour. This, coupled with the service, makes it a restaurant to be tried.

  • 3/5 Sam B. 3 years ago on Google
    Great service! The cauliflower and kale was my favourite. Seated a little to close to other peoples tables. Felt a little on top of each other. However the atmosphere and service was still good!

  • 5/5 Trish B. 3 years ago on Google

    I am a recently diagnosed Coeliac, and had seen this restaurant recommended on a Coeliac FB page. I was not disappointed!!! The owner/manager was absolutely lovely and so accommodating, explaining all of the gluten free options, and also went on to explain how the GF pizzas are prepared so I fully understood before making my decision. I had the four cheese gnocchi with added chicken. Simply delicious. I will be back for sure. Amazing food and service to match!

  • 4/5 Vicki T. 3 years ago on Google
    I had the Linguine I loved it. The service was good the prices were good. I thought $4 for a coke was to expensive and the seating was to close. If it wasn't for those 2 things I would have given it a 5.We got parking close by as well. I would not say it is wheelchair friendly but they do take away. The guy in the glasses was our waiter he had only been there a week really nice guy very professional. We would definitely go back.
