SLAY Italian Kitchen

Wonderful service and atmosphere. Celebrated my mom’s birthday here and they take hospitality so seriously! It’s very good to see. The manager was truly amazing, he was so accommodating and caring that we genuinely had a wonderful night here. Thank you! Forgot to take pictures of other dishes we got, but it was great!

Equal parts fantastic food and fantastic service. Will did a lovely job explaining the menu and specials, and we truly enjoyed every plate. The fig and prosciutto pizza was delicious, and the gluten free menu accommodations were equally tasty. I look forward to returning and trying more of the menu. The general manager was charming and it’s obvious that chef really enjoys creating works of art on every plate.

Slay offers a charming atmosphere and a menu with great potential, though a few areas left room for improvement during my visit. • Appetizers: The calamari, while flavorful, was slightly overcooked, and the accompanying zucchini could have been less charred. The Brussel sprouts, though cooked with care, lacked a bit of seasoning to bring out their full flavor. • Atmosphere: While the ambiance was pleasant, the music and overall mood could use a bit more energy to enhance the dining experience. • Main Dishes: • The chicken piccata had a rich buttery flavor but leaned a little on the dry side. • The pasta with cream sauce was satisfying and well-prepared, though it didn’t stand out as much as I had hoped. • The highlight of the meal was undoubtedly the Osso Bucco. Tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked, it’s a dish worth returning for. Overall Rating: ★★★★☆ Slay shows promise with its menu and presentation. A few tweaks to execution could elevate the experience even further.

Good vibes decent food, great service. The food was okay, not superb. The garlic bread was yummy but had barely any garlic taste to it and the salad portion was very small. The fettuccine was good though! Pretty platings. Saturday dinner wasn’t too busy; we were able to be seated without a reservation for two. Our server was caring and nice.

Beautiful dinner at Slay Italian Kitchen in Manhattan Beach. Started with the earthy flavorful roasted beets, then the salmon with spinach risotto and the Lemon Tagiolini Vongole. Finished off with the white chocolate cheesecake which was wasn't overly sweet and had the perfect texture. Nice wine selection. Service was excellent. Atmosphere reminded us of being in a Cafe in New York lower east side. Food was delicate but seasoned properly. Overall an excellent dinner.

Food is below average, but the view and service is great. We have been very pleased with Samanta's menu suggestions and liked her personality.

So pleasant staff, don't be afraid of asking the advice about your order. Pasta and pizza were soooo delicious. And Americano, it's really hard to find a good one, but we made it. Like count minutes to visit this place again.

When the garlic bread is the star of the show, then you know we were not happy with our meals. The service was great. Atmosphere fine. There were five of us. Everyone felt the dishes were mediocre. Did the marinara pasta sauce come from a jar?

We recently had a 30th birthday party for our son at Slay's. It started out as a party for 12 and grew to a party of 24. Working with Jonahluis was wonderful. She is terrific and easy to work with. She went above and beyond to make the event special including working closely with me to develop an excellent menu offering, printing out placards and individual golf themed menus for all our guests. She was even one of the several fabulous staff who attended to our party. The food was fantastic! Thank you, Chef Slay! Every single person told me how great it was! When our group got so large, I was a little worried because the restaurant is small, but everything was perfect! We will be back!!!

I had such a lovely ladies lunch here today! Samantha was our waitress and she was so warm and professional, with great suggestions. We met the owner, David Slay, as well, he is very present in his restaurants so the standards are top tier. We had a spattering of items, and the mushroom ragu really stood out. I am coming back soon to explore the wines from the owner's vineyard and I understand the Ciopinno is a must try! Ah, also for the lovely ambiance the pricing is really reasonable so I could go wild here if not with friends who eat like birds, ha. Lastly, the holiday accoutrements are on pointe, I suspect that if they offer Thanksgiving or Xmas meals this would be a nice place to visit, balances a good home Italian feel with sophisticated elegance. The bistro down the street looks super cute too, with a nice bar area.

My friend and I went to celebrate her birthday. We saw a post on NextDoor that the owner was very kind to a homeless person so we wanted to support the business. We were sat in the corner in the back so the hostess had to ask two tables to move so we could get in which wasn't optimum. The server had to reach over the other tables to serve us which also wasn't great, often handing us our plates and drinks. I had the squash blossoms which were okay, but overcooked. Also ordered a special pizza with prosciutto, fig, burrata. Having been to Italy earlier this year, it was weird to hold the pizza slice and it stuck straight out, the "point" didn't bend at all. Not sure if that was intentional. For me, the crust was just overcooked. We love Italian food and I really wanted to love this place, but in the South Bay, it doesn't hold a candle to my favorite place on Pier in Hermosa.

Decent and Upscale Vibe -- But Lacking in Other Areas compared to the restaurant competition in Mb. Slay Italian boasts a sleek, upscale atmosphere, like most of the restaurants in MB. Nice decor and ambiance and it certainly gives the impression of a fine dining experience. However, the experience didn't quite live up to my expectations, especially given the price point. The service felt somewhat indifferent--while not outright bad, it lacked the attentiveness and warmth you'd hope for at a high-end establishment. - Usual lack of parking in and around MB - Corkage fees are expensive but to be expected - Compared to places like MB Post the food quality didn't justify the premium prices; it felt relatively average to be honest. Overall, Slay has potential, but for the cost, I'd expect a more polished experience from start to finish.

I've been wanting to go to Slay for quite a while now. And now that I've been, I found it a bit underwhelming to be honest. The food was not as good as I had anticipated. The Garlic Bread was probably my least favorite since I naturally was comparing it to many other place I've been. The Meatballs were tough and dried out. Thank goodness for the marinara which I used a lot of to overlook how firm they were. The jam that came with the Burrata was hands down my favorite item of the evening. There were subtle hints of mint in it that made it absolutely to die for. I meant to ask them if I could buy some before I left lol. The burrata itself was a bit strange as it tasted like it was mixed with a subtle goat cheese or goat's milk? It was a little strange. Lastly, we ordered their Pineapple pizza sort of like a joke since it's an Italian spot and pineapple feels very American. But the pizza was good. Again, nothing to write home about, but if I ever were to go back I might order it again knowing it'll be better than the other dishes I had. I tried their Pinot Noir from their estate and the wine was lovely! I might just not go back, but buy their wine. Service was good as our waiter was attentive and patient as we tried making decisions. The restaurant is very small though. Therefore, it's extremely loud, at least during dinner time when they're fully booked. Because it's so small, both staff and customers are constantly running into your chair. All that to say that maybe this isn't the most romantic place to go if that's what you're looking for...

Amazing service and loved the ambiance. My friends and I shared the Caesar salad, shrimp risotto, and the garlic bread. Everything was delicious and would come back again to try something different.

Clam linguine was a smaller portion for what I'm use to for $28 so if you're starving I would get something else and I'm sure others do. It was just me . Had the Italian spritz that was delish ( I asked for not so sweet) the place setting was so cute! The space and ambiance was cute and cozy and not overly pretentious feeling...feels like a luxurious neighborhood spot. The service was so kind and timely. Overall excellent spot to stop in for a bite and relaxing evening ! On a cute street with plenty of street parking.

Located in a perfectly nice area, close to the beach, and cozy environment, this place was a good try. Service was absolutely great. Savannah was our server and she was very attentive and helpful. We were there much earlier around 4 pm and the place was not busy, but based on our experience and what we saw they are very welcoming. Everyone on our table enjoyed their order. However my plate wasn't great. I ordered vongole. It was absolutely dry and noodles were hard and Chewy. There were many small broken shells in my plate. I was really hungry so I ate everything but it was a very expensive badly made plate. It was probably the worst Vongole I've ever had. We also got garlic bread with cheese. Bread was over toasted and hard. It was also disappointing. My friends had lasagna and spicy pink rigatoni which were good. I have a dairy sensitivity so I have limited options in Italian places. With my experience, this is not a place for me. Nonetheless it was a nice try and we had a good time. Parking could be really difficult during peak hours.

The R.O.I. deserves 3 's Had dinner here Saturday night [3/1], with a good friend. It looked quaint and cute enough for a beach town eatery and as they all are, quite busy so we took a table outside. The Wine List: It wasn't overly extensive which is understandable for a small restaurant, but looking at the prices of wine is where I almost swallowed my tongue. A bottle of a Barolo that I am very familiar with and can buy for about $70 was selling for nearly $200. Another from Montepulciano, that is typically around $80 is selling for $275. The Far Niente Chardonnay? $140! Whomever priced the wine list is completely out of touch with wine pricing, or is banking on greed to be profitable. Incidentally, Far Niente roughly translates to "Doing Nothing," and that's about right for this list. At these prices, they should rename the list to "Whine List," because that's what it'll make people do. There were very few wines by-the-glass and many of those were woefully overpriced. The typical 300% mark-up on wine is for by-the-glass prices and not ALL wine, but the by-the-glass pricing was nearly 400% The Food: The food was pretty good. Not phenomenal, but good. My friend had the lasagna, which apparently is her favorite. I had a $28 sausage pizza that boasted about 14 small scraps of sausage sparsely tossed around the 8 slices of pie with some fennel sprinkled about the cheese. Hardly worth the price. The cost of making it was pribably about $2.15. Add cost of eggs in today's market, it might go up $3.00.....but the taste was good. Little Caesars has more sausage on their pies. We also had garlic bread and Brussels sprouts which were the best part of the meal. The Service: It was great! No complaints there [25% tip], but when the bill came and I saw a total of $140 for a small pie, lasagna, Brussels sprouts, bread and a couple glasses of grape juice, I realized that Jesse James no longer rides a horse. He is alive and well in Manhattan Beach. "Slay"? Yeah, this joint will absolutely "Slay" your wallet. If I ever DO go back, I'll pay the corkage fee to bring my own bottle, and I'll feast on the garlic bread and Brussles sprouts.

Samatha was our waitress and she suggested our appetizer- Squash Blossoms- it's a seasonal item and it was DELICIOUS! We got here at dinner time but they seated us promptly and we have a lovely view of the ocean. My husband and I were throughly pleased for this last minute resultant choice and we will be sure to come back!

What kind of high end restaurant doesn't have heaters for their outdoor seating. This one

Great food. We are in the area after being displaced by the fires and have ordered takeout several times. I must say that the hostesses out front are some of the kindest, friendliest people I have ever met. They have been a bright light in an otherwise dark time.

Appetizers are good to share with ~3 people if you wanted to try a few dishes. The place is located next to the beach with outdoor and indoor seating so if you come for dinner and end up eating outside, make sure to bring a jacket since it gets pretty chilly. Food was good and service was phenomenal.

Friendly staff, great food, and cute vibes, would be the perfect little place to take a date. Loved the focaccia and clam linguini. Italian spritz were large and delicious as well! Would come back for that focaccia alone. Price point is on the higher end but probably on par with any restaurant in the area.

Specials are over priced especially for what you get. 2 dishes we had were loved the other 2 were very good. But for the price tag should have been amazing. Service is as amazing as should have little heaters outside

Slay is a pretty space, upscale but not pretentious and nice enough for special occasion but casual enough for a nice weekday dinner with your friends and family. Food-wise, everything was good, but nothing stood out. We had the toasted ravioli, watermelon/tomato salad, filet medallions and pork ragu pasta. The filet was a little overcooked (we asked for med rare) but the meat was very tender. All our dishes were a little underseasoned, but it was still flavorful enough. Pork ragu tagliatelle had generous portion of the pork, and pasta was cooked really well, chewy and bouncy. I would definitely come back, especially if I'm in the area. Service was efficient but not too friendly or intimate. Parking is a little hard to find since it is near the pier, but there is a public parking lot a block away. I'd recommend making reservations since it is a pretty popular spot, small outside area with a few tables with a very nice ocean breeze. Perfect for a summer night with a bottle of wine!

Slay is a cute Italian restaurant just a few steps from the beach and from the hustle of Manhattan Beach Blvd. There offer both outdoor seating on the street and indoor dining. There's metered street parking in the area of a parking structure a couple blocks away. Reviews of what we ate: Focaccia bread - it lacked the olive oil & rosemary taste and was pretty simple & rather bland. It came with a regular butter and some type of spicy butter that was interesting but I could've done without... Beet salad - was refreshing but nothing really special and kind of pricey for a few beets, grapefruit and bits of greens.... Fried ravioli - it was unique but nothing to write home about... White fish with corn risotto - this was the special of the night and tastes very healthy but lacked any umami taste Fettuccine with shrimp and lemon cream sauce - this was probably the best dish here. Very tasty so order it. 4 stars because the location is ideal and food was decent but can't say this is my fav Italian place...

Let's start with location on the main drag with plenty of metered street parking spaces marked for 5 min 24 minutes and 2 and three hours . The meters take credit cards (no charges after 9pm). We sat outside on the sidewalk and were able to enjoy the fresh air. We ordered quite a few dishes to share. We started with the focaccia which was served crisp and had great flavor. We followed with a watermelon heirloom salad good flavor and presentation, Caesar which was heavy on the dressing and only a few croutons.The roasted Funghi pizza was excellent. The Cioppino was full of fresh fish and shell fish. Had great flavors. We did order the steak Parmigiana which was not that great it was basically a chicken fried NY strip with cheese just not my thing next time I might just stick to chicken. We did not have room for dessert and did not order wine. The wine list was extensive The owner/ chef has his own winery so the list is excellent I would definitely come back again.

On the eve of my Mom's wrist surgery, Slay was the pre-op meal choice. She broke it playing pickleball a few days prior as she is an absolute warrior. Just picture my peanut of a mother (5'1 on her best day) laying her body on the line for her Tuesday night pickleball group made up of Manhattan Beach moms. I, for one, am proud to be from this bloodline. We arrive at Slay with clear eyes and full hearts, ready to smash some Italian food. We are sat outside and the vibe is what I imagine people expect when they come to Southern California: 70 degrees and sunny while sitting at a restaurant a few blocks up from the sand with the vast Pacific bobbing up and down in the peripheral vision. Our family always orders a margherita pizza as an appetizer, so we couldnt break tradition. Pizza was ultra thinw with fluffy crust, just how I like it hehe. Calamari was a godsend as well and the meatballs also did their thing. Great team performance from the apps. They recently got their liquor license, so you already know I had to crack off on a Spritz. Their Italian Spritz was honestly one of the best I've had in a MINUTE, and that's saying a lot. I think I may be an Aperol Spritz sommelier at this point. The spaghetti and meatballs delivered like Pheidippides delivering the news to Athens that they had won the Battle of Marathon. Iconic. Slay is the best kept secret in Manhattan Beach. MANHATTAN BEACH STAND UP!!!!

Slay is a gem in manhattan beach! Impeccable service. Our waitress Jonah took amazing care of us. Obsessed with the chopped salad and lasagna and amazing selection of wines. This is a great date night spot!

Slay Italian Kitchen is apparently the cheaper version of another Slay resturant somewhere in the South Bay. I would guess that one is better. Not to say Slay is bad, it's just not that special and I'd probably never go again. I had the lasagna which was fine, but it was short of impressive. My step-dads salmon didn't even look like salmon (didn't taste like it either). The calamari was however very good and I did enjoy it. Slay just doesn't know what it wants to be. People are dressed pretty nice inside, but the waiters are wearing baseball tee's and they play trap music over the speakers? The interior design is half Italian restaurant half lodge cabin with off-putting chandeliers made of sticks. They also allowed a large group occupy the restaurant for an extended period of time that probably took away business. They were finished with their meal and barely left before we did. You can tell the restaurant was frustrated when half of the serving team rushed to clean up into two four tops. The service is less than spectacular. Our waitress was as quiet as a mouse and didn't fare well in the loud environment. She did an OK job but failed to live up to a high standard. My family agreed that it was probably our last time at Slay. It was busy so there's definitely an audience for it, but the mediocre food and subpar service showed me I'd rather go elsewhere.

This place is near Manhattan Beach Blvd and the pier. Meter parking can be hard to find so I recommend heading over earlier on a weekend evening. We made reservations on a Saturday night and the place was busy. We were asked to wait because our table wasn't ready. We waited 20 mins to check back because we still didn't get a notification and miraculously our table was ready. We overheard the hostess telling someone that it was an hour wait for walk ups. The place is not big but has big open windows to let the fresh ocean breeze in. At this point, we were 25min after our reservation time and was trying to catch a movie so we asked to have everything rushed. The service was professional but not friendly. Maybe because the server didn't appreciate the rush request but that was not our fault. The classic pepperoni pizza was a little too salty for my taste but still good. The calamari was good. My favorite was the slow cooked pork ragu with spinach pasta. Great flavors and texture. Would come back but maybe on a slower day.

This restaurant is outstanding, From the host to the waiter and waitress to the kitchen people. The manager has such great attitude and friendly. We were 3 couples and we had to change our table 3 times because we couldn't make up our minds and the staff was soo calming and friendly. Our waiter was Lazaro de la Rua C and his customer service was excellent and he was so fast and helpful and sooo friendly and polite. The food was great, we got pizza and fettuccini and the garlic breads wooow yummy. Outdoor sitting and indoor is very cuzy . Will for sure be back here .

Slay is my favorite restaurant in Manhattan beach so far! It has a special place in my heart as my sister and I love going here for special occasions, and it's also where my boyfriend took me to ask me out. The vibe of the place is so romantic! I love how small it is actually and sitting outside gives you a great sunset view. The service isn't the fastest but that's because it gets so busy, so we don't mind the wait. Their espresso martini is amazing! My go to order is the calamari fritters and shrimp fettuccini. I love their pasta so much. I usually don't finish my order but it's just so good I could probably eat two haha! I recommend this place for date nights and small celebrations, will definitely keep going back

We had dinner at Slay last night and I'm surprised it took me so long to try this place. Fantastic location in the heart of downtown Manhattan beach. It was definitely pretty busy so reservations are highly recommended. The food was excellent and service was great. I especially liked the burrata and calamari. The aioli sauce with the calamari was delicious. I liked my egg fettuccine with shrimp... pasta was cooked perfectly. Would highly recommend if you are a fan of old school Italian food. Both my kids really enjoyed their butter noodles and pepperoni pizza. Will be back to try more of the menu!

Went out to Manhattan Beach to have lunch and a nice summer afternoon. Pizza was great. The salad was fresh, and a nice bottle Sangiovese. service was excellent. We had our 2 pups with us so we sat outside. Didn't get to see the inside as the food was so good. I just relaxed and enjoyed. The service was great. I forgot her name, but she was excellent.

Best pasta I've had in quite a while! Amazing food and service. Steps away from the beach, so we took a short walk after we ate. Perfect place to come for a date night or dinner with the family.

What a disappointment. I expect so much more from Chef David Slay-- wow --what mediocrity. The pasta is over sauced, way over sauced. The Caesar salad looks like it was prepared three hours before and put in a refrigerator waiting for the next unsuspecting customer. Too bad. my expectations were obviously too high.

Donovan and Owen were so nice and kind! Really appreciate them for there services! Definitely will come back! I recommend the garlic bread, it was sooooo good!

Delicious food, great ambiance and the location is right in the heart of Manhattan. Awesome service - would come back.

Although the staff was very nice, the food was truly horrible. We were a party of three and all of us left more than half of our meals uneaten. The calamari came very soggy and lukewarm. The spaghetti with meatballs and the pasta side dishes came cold and the red sauce was thick and tasted like tomato paste. The chicken piccatta was three fillets of hard overcooked chicken that was difficult to cut. My husband had the "steak special" and he literally couldn't eat it because it too was so tough...also covered in the "tomato paste" sauce. We were all shocked that all our meals could be so bad. Again, we left more than half our plates! The restaurant was only half full so maybe others feel the same way. To have open tables all night in downtown Manhattan Beach at dinner is a sign others might feel the same way. Really disappointing food. My daughter said "Yes" when they asked us if we wanted the food to go because she said she was so embarrassed we left so much of our meals on our plates... When we got home it went straight in the garbage.

I had to try this place. If Nick can say, "He's never experienced anything like it!!" Seriously? He said Amen! to pollo loco same day! Also while making out with the burgers from In n Out These people that are in Clear Recovery Center for drug rehab sure do eat a lot all in the same day! Wish my daughter could've! Instead Clear Recovery Center kept her drugged up! It's been 2 years. I can't take the pain of losing my child! I wonder how much $ my ex gave them?

Great food and ambience- Slow roasted pork- 4 stars Lasagna- 5 stars Garlic bread - 5 stars Service- 5 stars

I picked this place for my boy friends birthday and I was a bit disappointed. It's not really nice like in photos but much more casual and not the kind of restaurant I'd celebrate birthdays. What's more disappointing was the food. Everything was not bad but just ok. Nothing was really good and overpriced for what it is. The service was ok but again nothing outstanding.

Great service and really good food! Loud, fun, good ambience and great location. Went to slay steakhouse a week prior and that was good as well.

I really enjoyed Slay Italian! The ambiance is so intimate and vibes. The food was delicious with great apps and entries. I enjoyed the scallop and risotto special with a great sav blac, in-house wine. Our waiter was 10/10 and the staff was great. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to locals and tourists.

Outstanding customer service and a great meal. We sat outside and enjoyed all the holiday lights. We followed our waiter's recommendation on wine and food he did not steer us wrong. We will definitely be back.

Came here on a weekday with reservations and we were seated right away. If you don't see a particular time available online, then call them. We ordered: - Toasted ravioli (chard, spinach and ricotta filling) w/tomato basil dip: SO good - Beet salad (herbed whipped goat cheese, beets, oranges, and honey balsamic vinaigrette): nice dish to complement the other rather heavier items - Margherita pizza (tomato sauce, mozzarella, basil, sea salt): good - Pecan crumble tart w/vanilla ice cream: amazing, order it Parking: street metered parking all around

Loved this place!! It's super small, quaint and cozy. They keep the windows open, so just keep that in mind as it got a little chilly at night. I was so excited to see a vegetarian toasted ravioli on the menu. Most toasted raviolis have meat, so that made me happy. The risotto was perfectly cooked (I got burrata on mine bc I don't like smoked, and it was AMAZING!) We wish we had saved room for dessert, but everything was just too good we couldn't help ourselves. Will definitely be back if we're ever in the area again.

I really hate giving bad scores. I truly do as I'm in the industry, but what happened here was uncalled for. The margarita pizza was so soggy which left at practically inedible and the pasta dish was not al dente , as al dente is perfect alas It was simply undercooked and when we asked them to fix it, they said they would have to charge us for them. Unbelievable horrible service so very slow and it wasn't even that busy so very disappointed, because the experience was horrendous. As a chef myself, in the industry, I'm completely shocked that they did not want to fix their mistakes and wanted to charge us for them.

Was kind late to the res and the hostess sat us at the tiny counter was not ideal but I do feel that you can make your eye lids stay open when greeting people? Idk ‍ was kind of cool to see John from bloodline honestly so I'll add another star. Noticed some sea creatures walk into the restaurant from the literal bottom of the sea so I'm actually deducting a star now that I think about it... should bring out food quicker... mamas hungry bitch.

We ordered lasagna and pepperoni pizza. This is place is an unbelievably delicious. Our favorite server is Lazaro the staff is amazing!! The ambience is great ..Support your local businesses slay is slaying !!!!

Four of us had dinner here recently on a Friday night. The food was delicious, the service was excellent and the atmosphere was cozy and inviting. For starters, we tried the roasted Brussels sprouts, the garlic bread with marinara sauce and a soppressata pizza. All three were tasty, especially the pizza, which had a beautiful puffy, chewy crust that was just slightly crispy on the bottom and topped with fresh basil leaves. For entrees we had the vongole, the pasta with pork ragu, the bucatini and lobster fra diavolo served on a bed of spaghetti (which was the special that night). These dishes were "I can't wait to come back again" good. Dessert was a warm apple cranberry crumble and a molten chocolate cake. A great ending to a great meal. Fabulous dinner all around.

We visited Slay for our Thursday Boys night last week and our overall experience was pretty good. We had a reservation and were seated immediately. Our server, who unfortunately i never received her name did a great job but wasn't personable. She was very direct with our ordering but didn't really seem like she connected with her guests, But maybe with the volume of business that night, she may have not had the time. That said, she did a great job of getting to the table to take our orders and made some wonderful suggestions for dinner. Once again, we ordered lots of things. Appetizers: The Poke, Venetian Polenta, Calamari, and the toasted ravioli. The winner here and by miles is the Venetian Polenta. Everything else was just okay and wouldn't order from here again. For dinner we ordered the Mushroom Pizza, the Lamb, the steak Medallions and the Lasagna. The winners here was everything! For wine, we ordered their Slay Cabernet which is made at their vineyards in Santa Barbara, CA. - This wine was exceptional. I was pleasantly surprised. The wine was full bodied and had an exceptional finish. (2) things would have made the experience better. Although our server was on top of it, a big part of the experience we look for when we dine out weekly is the experience we get from the service itself. We always look forward to having someone serve us who tries to connect with us, . The second thing we all noticed immediately was it was a little harder to converse with one another with it being a little louder inside. Not a deal breaker by any means. Would come back again and would recommend to friends!

I recently dined at Slay Italian Kitchen, and I must say, it was a delightful experience. The lasagna and fettuccini pasta were nothing short of delicious; the flavors were exceptional, and the portions were just right. The tuna poke was a pleasant surprise, with its freshness and unique blend of flavors that left me wanting more. To top it off, the tiramisu was the perfect sweet ending to the meal. The ambiance and service added to the overall charm of the restaurant, making it a must-visit for Italian cuisine enthusiasts.

Friendly staff is probably to only reason I'm giving the place 3 stars. They are busy probably due to the limited good food options in MB.

Wow, this was a super experience! I got the mushroom & fennel pizza and flourless chocolate cake, and I am still thinking about them today! Slay brand Rosé and Pinot Noir on point as always . Super close to the pier; we walked right out to the best spot for the Holiday Fireworks Show. Fantastic night!

Come with a fat wallet. This joint is a classic restaurant to impress. I wrote a review of this place, please read.

Unfortunately, mid and mediocre food and service (at least for me). Pizza, while huge portion, was bland and lacking flavor. Pancetta could have been cooked more. I agree with another reviewer on the service - perhaps we had the same service! Took over an hour to get our food in! She just kept checking and and walking away mid sentence - so weird. Here's what the other yelp-er said: "She was reciting the specials and was quite lengthy at times. She was often thrown off track when we would ask questions about dishes. She would take plates away from the table when I wasn't finished and put utensils down aggressively." ^ I 100% agree and probably won't return. Cute place though!
