What People Are Saying
from Google"We hosted our wedding reception at Manducatis Rustica, and we truly could not recommend it highly enough. The food was absolutely delicious and memorable for all of our guests, the service was impeccable, and the atmosphere was nothing short of magical. From the moment we started planning, we worked with Gianna, who was an absolute dream. Having Gianna by your side is what I imagine having a fairy godmother would be like. She was warm, professional, and incredibly thoughtful from day one — offering great advice, creative suggestions, and genuine care for every detail. In the weeks leading up to our big day, she communicated with us regularly to ensure she had a clear sense of our vision, and on the day itself, she made that vision come to life flawlessly. When we walked into the garden patio, it looked exactly as we had imagined — simply stunning. And when our bakery ran into unexpected delays with the wedding cake, Gianna handled the entire situation behind the scenes with grace and determination, taking on hours of stress and phone calls so that we could stay completely in the moment. Thanks to her, the cake arrived just in time, and we were able to have our cake-cutting moment without the stress. Manducatis Rustica will forever hold a special place in our hearts. It was everything we could have hoped for and more. We can’t wait to return to enjoy the food, reminisce, and celebrate future milestones."
"My all time favorite! Their Italian Stake Frites is a must try item! Also loved the Linguine Shrimp and Rack of Lamb. Also the ambience is great! Can’t wait to go back again."
"Authentic Italian restaurant with romantic vibes and delicious food. Ordered salad with arugula and chicken parmesan. The portion was generous. Servers were well mannered. Great for date night, family, and other special occasions"
"Food and vibes definitely great. We loved the outdoor garden seating. Food definitely 10/10, our favorite for the night would be the carbonara. Portion sizes are very shareable. So if you’re planning to get out and dine with your friends this is the place to go. Giving a 4 because during our visit it took a while for our orders to come. Service and staff is always excellent (it’s not my first time here). Staff are very nice and helpful."
"High quality pastas & Italian style pastries and cakes in a homey setting, with a charming patio in the back. As good as it gets."
