Fashion-conscious fans of this Italian all-rounder reckon its location on Duke of York Square is ‘great for shopping’. During the day, the café rules: its large, glass-roofed terrace fills with well-preened ladies & a happy melee of tourists munching their way through speedy paninis, charcuterie platters & salads, or lingering over more thoughtful daily plates such as grilled marinated octopus or veal & mushroom lasagne. At night, Manicomio changes tempo & the classy dining room starts to turn on the Italian charm. In a setting of duck-egg blue leather chairs, animal-themed artwork & uptempo jazz, punters sample seasonal dishes such as tagliatelle with girolles & summer truffle or pan-fried whole plaice with lentils, chilli & lemon. A raft of daily specials even extends to the cocktail list. In all, it’s a ‘great choice for lunch or dinner’.
