La saletta è abbastanza rustica, ideale per un pranzo veloce o una cenetta divertente! Servizio veloce ed estremamente gentile. Il Panzino è delizioso! Pasta di pizza croccante con hamburger all’interno davvero gustosissimo! La parete con buccia tagliata e a mano sono perfette!

The best dinner I had in Italy! Warm, welcoming, friendly owners who fed 4 very hungry travelers before officially opening for dinner. The fresh bread, the handmade Cavatelli, the house made Tiramisù was all delicious!

Stasera è stata la terza volta che abbiamo cenato alla mannaia: entrecotes ottima, veramente tenera e saporita, così come il mio tris di antipasti caldi. I ragazzi si sono fatti in quattro per assisterci, nonostante il locale fosse pieno e sono stati carinissimi. L' ambiente è semplice e confortevole. Ci torneremo? Sicuramente!!

Siamo capitati li per festeggiare un traguardo di un amico tavolone da 10 persone, il personale subito ci ha accolto e ci ha fatto accomodare insiando a servirci delle bollicine, ci hanno consigliato un bel antipasto tra formaggi con marmellate buonissime (regalandoci i vasetti portati a tavola) salumi e dei tegamini caldi veramente buoni. Abbiamo poi ordinato della carne mista alla griglia che si scioglieva in bocca. Caffe offerto. Un servizio gentilissimo che accompagna tutto in modo sorprendete. Consigliatissimo per passare un pranzo o una cena in tranquillità e in armonia nell'insegna del buon gusto! Grazie davvero

la cosa più brutta, ma purtroppo caratteristica della nostra regione, è parlare male falsamente per varie ragioni di alta ignoranza, tentando in malo modo tralaltro di spacciarsi come intenditori, del lavoro e grossi sacrifici altrui. Un'altra cosa bella invece è che ognuno è libero di andare a mangiare o altro altrove, ma senza dire stupidaggini perché le "bugie hanno le zampe corte" e dalle nostre parti, cortissime!! ...
