"If you remember this restaurant when it was in Hallandale Florida, you will be happy to know that it is HERE thriving and just as great as it was back then. This one is run by the grandson, Jay, and I’m telling you it is fantastic. The Gorgonzola salad is to die for, the prime rib made to perfection. Chis said the sauce for the chicken parm was exactly like his ex Sicilian mother in laws. The service is impeccable! (Thanks Debbie! I wish we lived closer. The place was ROCKIN in the bar! Obviously it’s a hit with the locals as well. And even tho it’s a two hour drive from our house, I’m sure we’ll be stopping in again and again! Thank for such a memorable evening for our 16th anniversary and keeping the restaurant exactly how it was in Hallandale decades ago!"

It's been quite a while since we visited Manera, one of our favorite restaurants. Life sometimes gets in the way, but I had forgotten just how much we love this place. As always, the food was outstanding. I particularly enjoyed the house salad, and the oysters were exceptional. Everything was beautifully presented. Although our favorite server, Casey, has moved on, our server Kelsey was fantastic! We were impressed with her knowledge of the entire specials menu, which was lengthy! The service was superb! I can't wait to return. View menu

Went on Saturday 6/24 and it was beyond fantastic. Soups, Salads, Fried Calmamari Appetizer were delicious. Everybody's entrees were great. I had the veal chop special with broccoli rabe and risotto, and I have to say, it may have been one of the best meals I ever had. Topped it off by splitting Dark Side of the Moon cake(chocolate, chocolate chocolate! and Tortoni. So good. We all left full and happy. Our waiter, Gio, went above and beyond. Water and bread refilled often, beer kept chilled, and he came to check in on us just the right number of times. Great experience. Can't wait to go back!!

Great food, great service and a very well trained staff! Overall a well deserved 5 stars! Can't think of a single negative comment. From the moment we arrived it was obvious Manera's is well run. The hostess answered phone calls, took online orderswith ease and welcomed guests all with great skill. Second visit and couldn't wait to dig into the eggplant parmigiana, the bestI've ever had, and just as good as my first visit several months ago. Pear and arugula salad was fresh and crisp, even a daylater. One of our guests had a dairy allergy and the staff made great recommendations! Manera's should publish a manual on howto treat a guest and run a successful restaurant. No doubt we'll be back.
