Reviews for Manhattan Of La Jolla in La Jolla, CA
Great restaurant all around. Had our wedding party in the upstairs room several years ago and everything was flawless. Great... atmosphere and food. We go every year on our anniversary and when family or friends are in town. Read more
Old-school Italian with polite, friendly servers. The chicken marsala was tender with a rich, umami sauce of mushrooms and... herbs. The pastas were fresh and nicely prepared with fresh al dente vegetables. The beef carpaccio was like thinly sliced roastbeef--not my idea of carpaccio, but the capers and parmesan were on point. The cheesecake was a fabulous indulgence. The deep,rich wood paneling, vaulted ceiling, and tropical fish tanks bring elegance and relaxation to your dining experience. Read more
Desert is huge, rather smaller and better presentation Stuffs are so friendly and sweet, good entertainment
Excellent atmosphere. Live music is a great mood setter and lifts the dining experience. Brittany, our server, was an absolute... joy and made the experience all the more enjoyable. Food was excellent (I had the lobster bisque, and also the scollops). Thuswas my third time there. Each and every time was great, and I look forward to returning with friends. Always a memorableexperience. Gotta try it. You've earned it. Enjoy. Read more
Big props for Britney & Manny. Veal Chop is Zagat rated for a good reason: the quality is extremely high. While staying at The... Empress hotel in which this restaurant is located, I also enjoyed Caesars Salad prepared table side, Gnocchi, Carpaccio,Insalata alla Della, Linguine Pomodoro, and Tiramisu. A great wine list accompanies the superb Traditional Italian menu(Montepulciano!) plus a full bar with happy hour available. If you aren't spending $100 per person or more, you aren't doing itright.

Awesome experience! We stayed at the Empress hotel and heard great reviews about this restaurant so made a reservation for my... friend's birthday. Love the darker 'mob-boss' vibe, love piano and live music, plus cool artwork and also fish tank add to theambience. The host that sat us recommended the table side flambayed peppercorn New York steak, so we got that with mashed potatoplus table side caesar salad (don't see either very often anymore) drinks and our amazing server Neoli was super friendly andhooked us up with a baked potato and free dessert for my friend's birthday. Overall wonderful ambience, friendly service, tableside preparations and great food! Read more
This is hidden inside a hotel in La Jolla San Diego. It’s upscale Italian. There was live music with a lounge singer. I had... the veal Marsala, lobster bisque and I highly recommend the Ecstasy desert which is White chocolate gelato with liquor andraspberries. It’s more filling than it looks. Read more
It's sad to say that the food quality at this restaurant went from a 12 on a scale of 1 to 10 to a 2. Before Covid, I used to... dream about the food and crave the food here. I used to eat here at least once a week and we brought friends to this restaurantall the time, and had parties here. Now the food quality is at best a 2 (on a scale of 1-10) and they still keep charging veryhigh prices for very low food quality. This used to be my favorite Italian restaurant restaurant ever and in any city.Unfortunately now they can't compete with other Italian restaurants and are Ranked at the bottom. The recipes that originallycame from the owner's grandmother and Italy have either been thrown out or not paid attention to because it is so sad to saythat the food quality at this restaurant is so bad that I don't ever want to eat here again. We have tried it about 5 timessince restaurants opened after Covid and have been severely disappointed every single time. Very sad to have to report this. Read more
