Girls trip to Paso for the Midstate fair and we wanted good Italian food. We stopped in on Friday to make reservations for... Saturday night for the 3 of us. 9pm was all they had so we took it and asked to be put on a cancellation list. 9pm is late forme and I get hangry! Flash forward to Saturday. We werwalking by at 5pm and decided to take a chance to see if we could get in.They seated us right away. We ordered a nice bottle of wine and an appetizer to share. Caprese was fresh and delicious. Thebread was warm and tasted great. Dinner selections were a bit difficult to choose from. Didn’t really want bison meat and wewanted to do family style and share. We ended up ordering 2 entrees. The fettuccine salsiccitia and the pasta fave. Thefettuccine was to die for. The pasta fave was delicious but we pretty much picked out the fava beans. I mean really? Fava beans? Would have been excellent with shrimp or chicken. It needed a protein. We still had room for dessert so we ordered thecannoli. Yummy. Service was great and our server was amazing but we noticed from 6pm to 7pm there were 8 empty tables and not1 new customer walked in the door. Wondering WHY we could only get a 9pm reservation??

Everything tastes really amazing! ???? Spaghetti alla Bottarga tastes great and the sauce is full of seafood flavor. I love... bottarga (cured fish roe) ???? The rack of lamb is so tender and juicy. Love it so much! Read more

Very very good! Have been here several times and love it. I think the beef carpacio was incredible. I think they were running... low on scallops last night. Incredible flavor but the scallops looked like they were half scallops or just centers.. Flavorsstill amazing! Will return. Read more

What an experience. If you're looking for a fine dining journey that leaves your palette craving more, look no further. After a... day of wine tasting, couldn't have thought of a better way to end the night! We began our night with freshly baked bread,delicious olive oil and balsamic vinegar, paired with a barrel aged old fashioned. I'm a big whiskey fan and the cocktail wasperfect for the occasion. Our first course consisted of the beef tenderloin thinly sliced with melted parmesan and shaved blacktruffle (Carpaccio tartufo). The black truffle portion was generous and the earthy tones were delectable. My tastebuds tingledwith every bite! Next up was the Grilled Octopus in spicy vinaigrette. I love seafood and this course along with the Squid InkPasta with Lobster (Pasta al nero de seppia con arogasta) satiated my every craving for the night. Lastly, we finished off withthe Rack of Lamb grilled in herb sauce (Costate de agnello) and could not get enough of it. We ended up carving every bit offthe bone. We decided to finish off the meal with some dessert and settled on the Tiramisu - WOW! It was amazingly prepared,fluffy, bursting with flavor, and we fought for the last bite. We will be back! There are so many options that called out to us- the scallops, rib eye, and more... Read more

A gem of a restaurant. The carpaccio was to die for. Paper thin slices of beef with a lovely cream sauce topped with slices of... truffle. The caprese was fresh with a lovely burrata. The grilled octopus absolutely tender and flavorful. The huge veal wasmine and I can definitely attest to the divine taste. Very juicy and tender. The pasta I have been told were absolutelydelicious as well. Will definitely recommend if you’re in the area. #maneklady #manekeats #manektravels Read more

Amazing. The technique and tastes of the dishes is stellar. Only thing that disappointed were the octopus was a bit dry and... overcooked, but the vegetables in the dish were fantastic. Recommend everything else Read more

Service was wonderful, and the atmosphere was really calming. So, I don't know how to put this. The food was good but everything... we ordered was nothing like we expected. So it all tasted good but everything looked and tasted completely different than wethought it would. Keep that in mind, we probably should have asked more questions. Overall great experience though!
