Manuel's Vintage Room - Gainesville

A little expensive, but absolutely delicious and amazing eating. hands down the best Italian in North/Central florida even hits everything in tampa and I tried almost every Italian place in tampa.)

Really cozy, friendly Italian restaurant with excellent service and food. Best pasta I've ever. They have a wonderful appetizer that is basically a pasta purse and it was delicious. The fresh bread and dipping oil was also very good. It is a small place so reservations are absolutely recommended.

This place is amazing! Definitely one of the best restaurants in town and probably some of the best food I have had in my life. My wife visited Italy and she said the food at Manuel's was just as good, if not better, than what you got in Italy. The lobster ravioli is amazing! It seems like it would be a small portion but it will fill you up. One of the best dishes here is the rack of lamb special when they have it. It is expensive but the food is definitely worth it. The restaurant itself is quite small but that adds to the ambiance. Definitely one of my favorite places. I love going here!

We just had a fantastic time along with an exceptional meal. Our waitress (Amanda) was simply adorable and genuine. She knew the menu and offered her opinion with knowledge and experience. The restaurant is cozy with a home feel to it. We had the specials which were both wonderful. We started with the caprese salad and white bean soup. You cannot go wrong with these choices. Next time we will try the gnocchi and the ravioli which Amanda mentioned were delicious.

Great service, and a pleasant atmosphere, and it is one of those places you can get in and out of quickly for a wonderful Italian meal, or take a date or family and hang out for hours! The food is unique and you can tell the chef definitely cares about his menu and flavor profiles. Make sure you make reservations because it is a small restaurant, and walk-ins are usually not able to be seated. That being said, it is a little pricey and the wine is a little expensive for the quality. Still, I would definitely go back.
