Best Restaurants for Foodies in Dickerson

Food was great! One comment to the owner. Dessert: there was one particular dessert that apparently came with some cookies on the side, the person ordering just wanted the cookies, so she could share with the table; she asked the waitress and her answer was no, you can't just have the cookies. She didn't say, let me ask, we'll see what option we can offer. No alternatives.

Great food and service. One of my favorite spots when I’m in town.

Food, as always, was excellent. Service was a bit slow for a “not busy” time on Saturday afternoon. We all enjoyed ourselves and menu was extensive enough that everyone found something delicious.

I had a wonderful experience and enjoyed every bite of food and sip of my wine sampling. This will definitely be my go-to every time I come to the area.

Manalu delivered a wonderful, authentic Italian dining experience! The cannellini bean soup was excellent, and my waitress was attentive and accommodating, happily adjusting the soup to meet my dietary preferences by leaving out the pasta. My salmon topped with crab, and adorned with calamari, clams, and mussels was absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. The seafood was tender, flavorful, and not chewy, a detail that truly matters to me, as seafood can easily be overcooked when not prepared properly. The kitchen clearly knows how to handle seafood, and the quality of the food really stood out. Combined with the thoughtful service and delicious flavors, this was an outstanding meal. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic Italian cuisine!
