Great food, great service, reasonably priced. Very nice family feel. Staff was super friendly despite a very busy night. Diavola pizza was great, chicken piccata tasty and well prepared. We will be back!

My first pick for Italian. The place our friends who live in Rockville pick to meet us when we meet up. The place where you ALWAYS say yes to the dessert menu! The staff is always attentive- your finished plate doesn't stand a chance of hanging out on the table for long... The pasta is fresh- from gnocchi to squid ink ravioli. I would say the only areas of improvement has been the sad Caesar salad that tastes like it came from a premade bag and the soup possibly suffers from sitting in a warmer all day. They have covered patio seating which is nice in the winter with the warmers. Make reservations weeks in advance for weekend dinners - it is no secret- everyone loves this place-

From the welcoming entrance to the experience of Manalu's tasty culinary expertise, we always love coming back again & again! This is a favorite for a romantic date, a large group or a big birthday celebration on the enclosed outdoor patio. This restaurant was built on love, commitment to excellence & intense teamwork to provide guests with a wonderful memory like no other. They are family owned & operated by wonderful people! NOTE: They are now closed on Sundays to give the staff time with family. We usually make reservations but the bar is first come first serve & well attended. Even when they had to close the dining room temporarily during Covid, they still stayed incredibly busy with carry-out. They'll be around for many more years to come. You can have a pizza & water or go all out with incredible seafood dishes that are decorated works of art served. Or order classic Italian entrees like Lasagna, Ravioli, Parmesans. There are plenty of vegetarian choices as well. Don't miss out!

Once inside, the ambience was relaxing, and I was impressed by the staff. It took a few minutes for us to get a table, but they were very attentive. I was extremely impressed by their weight staff, and I wanted to order something slightly off the menu and not only did they accommodate me. The head of the weight staff came out to ensure that I got what I ordered, which was a veal Milanese. . The food was great. The service was great. The atmosphere was lovely. I don't usually enjoy eating in strip malls, but this place is the real deal worth a visit

What a great place... This was a great dining experience. The restaurant has cool decor, friendly staff, and great food. I sat on the patio, which was really nice. The waiter was super attentive. I had the lobster bisk soup, which was delicious. For dinner, I had the veal parmesan, which was awesome - real veal, not just a patty - with angle hair pasta. Their bread was perfect - it came out hot, and the oil with the spices was the perfect mate to it. This is well worth the trip if you are in the area

This is one of my favorite happy hour places in Frederick. They have many appetizers menu for happy hour and good drink deals. I highly recommend this place and will come back for pasta menu too!

Ou first visit was an excellent experience. Let's start with the value: Delicious meals in a nice outdoor setting on a beautiful July evening, "service with a smile", two glasses of good wine each at roughly $50 per the two of us. The food and service really were very good. I have to go back to try some other dishes, but the dishes we had were delicious and could have been served at a very fine dining location in San Francisco or New York. Right here in Frederick MD: Great Italian food!

Food: Solid pizzas made in the brick oven pizza that taste great. (4.5 stars) Service: The staff is so nice, my favorite type of pizza is hot honey and meat pizza, and for my meat pizza they brought me over a bunch of honey to put on my pizza and extra Parmesan on top. We also moved from the patio, to the inside, because our table outside was too cramped, and they gladly moved us. (5 stars) Ambiance: The brick oven is beautiful, but the place could use a facelift. Time to bring the ambiance into the now. Also, could use some feng shui, the restaurant felt very cramped. (3.5) Overall I would give this place an A, a 4.5 out of 5, but as you can't rate with half-stars on Yelp, I'm going to round up because the staff was so nice!

Great atmosphere, comfortable outdoor seating, excellent food, and also excellent service. I don't think my water glass was ever less than half full!! Very attentive staff. Waiter was also friendly and the food came out pretty quickly. I got the Gnocci Sorrento and it was AMAZING. Great flavor and texture! I will absolutely be back for more and will encourage my friends and family to visit this restaurant. Perfect for when I'm craving Italian food.
