Il Mannarino Como

We had a great time at this place for lunch. It was a local butcher with good quality meats. We ordered a mix of items and had an enjoyable meal. Our family of five enjoyed the time there. The sourdough bread that came at the start was very fresh and really good.

Great experience! It began at the butchery, where you order all the food. Enzo the butcher who welcomed us had a great knowledge about the verity of meat available to choose from and helped us build the meal we want. All the dishes were delicious, tasteful and well made. The service was very good and to complete the experience the atmosphere wad very calm and relaxed.

We spent 4 nights in Como total. We had 2 dinners here. Honestly, if I had found it earlier we might have had all of our dinners here. It’s that good! By far our favorite restaurant in Como. The food, the service, the welcoming staff, all of it combined for a wonderful experience. They made us feel like family. Highly recommend to anyone in the area. Dinner 1: We shared the Caciocavallo filante alla griglia antipasti, a Florentine Steak, Cavatelli al ragù bianco del Mannarino, a bottle of Chianti Classico, and the donuts for dessert. Total €117 Dinner 2: Picanha, Lamb Skewers, Sausage, and the Cavatelli (less food than the first night but still plenty for us to share). €67

Walked in with little knowledge on this restaurant save its rave reviews. The concept is a butcher counter/deli (charming ambience) where the staff are extremely eager and knowledgeable on the different cuts of meat etc. Don’t worry if you’re indecisive - they will guide with a firm grip. Service was swift with a 10 min waiting time max. An unexpected highlight is a complimentary and generous trio of spirits to complete your meal. The limoncello, elderflower based and I believe ouzo leave you with a warm finish.

We loved the food, fresh steak you can choose on site especially controfilleto and filletto argentino, carpaccio! Dessert was good, great limoncello! There is something for dogs as well which you can order! The seevice is good too! I would go again or visit another location of the restaurant!

The service was very good - you choose your type of meal - full meal, where you have to chose the meat portion, or just a meat. Then you are seated and things go fast. The meat was OK - not the best, but that’s probably just because I did not choose other options, but the side dishes were very good. The restaurant is big, and you can hear anyone who sits next to you. Bottom line - good option in Como for meat lovers.

One of the best meat i have ever had in my life. All were very delicious. The staff were very friendly and polite. The atmosphere was so nice. Everyone who visits Como should eat here.

Eating at Mannarino is more than a dinner. It's an experience. First of all all the staff is extremely gentle. I was really impressed by that. As soon as you enter the place you are welcomed by a large selection of meat and a friendly butcher-chef helps you choose the best combos to tailor the meal to your preferences, also considering the cooking times of the various pieces you have chosen. It is possible to try a lot of different specialties, which is fantastic for someone curious like me! My meat arrived in 2 "courses", all very interesting. The meat is very soft and tasty, cooked to perfection. Personally I would have preferred receiving it when it was warmer but I know many places prefer to let the meat settle a bit after cooking to enhance its flavor. The dessert menu is very playful and I've found the napkin super fun! At the end they brought me 3 bottles of free liquor. I have never been given that much so far!!
