Reviews for Nando Trattoria in Manhattan Beach, CA
Everything was perfect. Service, staff, presentation and food 5 stars. Parking can be a bit challenging during dinner so arrive... at least 30 min prior to your reservation. Every dish was skillfully prepared nothing looked rushed. Very attentive staff cannot say enough good things. Will definitely return. Thank you. Read more
WOW! That expression really sums up our dining experience last night. We came for husband's Birthday celebration and opted to... sit indoor. The elegant atmosphere, superb service, and exquisite dishes made this a very memorable experience from start toend. We ordered several appetizers (Wagyu Arancini!), Spinach salad, Lobster and Crab Ravioli, Wagyu Tagliatelle, and of coursehouse made Tiramisu. Everything was excellent. Will definitely come back again! Read more
Just a delicious place to eat traditional italian cuisine. Portions size are perfect, wide wine options. Very nice enviroment.... Definitely the best option for a romantic dinner if you go at night. Nice jazzy music and warm and dim lights. Read more
Top 3 restaurant I've been to in my many years of traveling...possibly #1 but tough to say. Definitely the best lambo chops... I've ever had. Service from Juan Carlos was top notch and fun. Ambiance was perfection. Comfortable upscale Italianrestaurant in a perfect setting. Cant wait to come back to Manjattan Beach again just to come here. Read more
One of the best meals I’ve ever had. The owner (I think) and our waiter, Juan Carlos were a part of the experience-so warm, so... fun! They were short-staffed and working so hard, yet still made time to chat with us and make us feel special. The food wasunique and delicious!! Read more
This is by far my new favorite restaurant that I have visited in all of my travels. First, the ambiance is super beautiful and... relaxed but upscale. We sat outside and there was beautiful greenery everywhere. Such a strange thing to say but we noticedfirst how much we loved their cutlery and cups and plates. They were just so extremely nice. We ordered the crispy golden riceball with ground beef on the inside for appetizer, the chef’s special menu of swordfish for entree, and then the chef’ssignature dessert which was an amaretto almond ice cream with a cherry vanilla ice cream fruit and a chocolate sauce. OMG mymouth was in Heaven. Also we had the Tuscan red blend for wine selection. Me and my friend split all the food which was morethan enough for the both of us. The rice ball was delicious and huge! Super golden and crispy with such soft yellow/saffron riceand I love rice balls to begin with so I’m picky when it comes to this. It was beyond delicious. Next the swordfish wasmagnificent! Of coarse you are a block away from Manhattan beach so seafood is a must. The swordfish came with an incrediblesauce and olives, red roasted peppers, corn, broccoli, potatoes, and other veggies. The sauce and a little bit of each veggiewith a bite of the fish was amazing. It was super soft and tender. The olives were also super delicious which sometimes withcertain olives you can get not the best tasting ones-these were great! And then the dessert is what made the night!! Theamaretto ice cream with almond crust was what put us over the top in love with this place. Also I actually super enjoyed myTuscan red blend wine which was super smooth. Our waiter who totally has a superman look-was also so sweet and charming fromGermany with a mix of a German and Irish accent. He explained that the restaurant was called Nando because it was the chef andthe other owner’s dog’s name. This restaurant is just so amazing and every time I am in LA I will be going out of my way tocome h Read more
Average dinner cost for two $200. Their focaccia is NOT traditionally flat and looks like a big bread, total disappointment.... Also, I find it odd that this Italian upscale restaurant doesn't have a complimentary fill while checking the menu or waitingfor the food. More than an expense for the restaurant it goes a long way as basic hospitality and improving the value onportions. Read more
Nando's such a romantic spot for a date night or girl's night! Love the lively atmosphere! The food is delicious and high... quality. The servers are friendly and professional. I would highly recommend this place! Read more
