  “I was in July and I had best pistachio pasta. I went there today and absolutely nothing close to what I eaten last time. One picture is from July absolutely lovely and the second is from today I don’t know if the chef didn’t care or what but i came back home and I was sick. I thought will be my one of the favourite restaurant but will never back there again..”

  “I ordered Scoglio - Spaghetti with argentinian prawns, squid, clams & shetland mussels cooked in white wine & fish stock it was okay but wasn’t my best seafood pasta. The restaurant layouts are absolutely amazing and cozy vibes. Staff are very friendly, the service was spot on.”

  “We had a great dinner at Mancia tonight. Incredibly friendly and helpful staff created a wonderful atmosphere from the start, going really above and beyond what you’d usually expect. Food was really good: we had a couple of pastas and a pizza (inc. accommodating gluten free pasta). We walked past and decided to call in on a bit of an impulse, but will definitely be back. One of the best Italians hull has to offer! Thanks again- Anna”

  “Without a doubt our favourite place to eat! This really is what every restaurant should aspire to. The service is lovely and friendly. And the food is just completely out of this world fantastic. There is no scrimping on ingredients. You can tell that the chefs and owners care about every. single. dish that gets sent out of the kitchen and the proof is in the eating. Truly can’t describe how tasty it is. The only downside? It’s inevitably going to get busier the more people hear about this place and it’ll mean we might have to book in advance one day. But for all the authentic tastiness? I’ll make my peace with that. If you go on Sunday? Try the roast which might be the best one I’ve ever had and try the surf and turf which yes, i think is the most expensive item on the menu? But absolute game changer. Can’t wait to come back in a couple of weeks!!!”

  “The food sounds much better than it tastes — fancy pasta names, wild boar… but in reality it’s bland, very standard, and nowhere near worth the price. The garlic bread was the worst part: there was literally a puddle of fat sitting on top of it. For a place that presents itself like this, that’s just not acceptable. There’s barely any real mastery in the cooking. Everything looks like it should be rich and flavorful, but when it arrives, it just falls flat. The ingredients and descriptions make you expect something much more refined than what you actually get. The garlic bread was honestly terrible. I asked for it to be changed, and instead of remaking it, she just took it away, poured off the fat, and brought it back. But the bottom was still completely soaked in grease, so it was basically inedible. The inside is nice, I’ll give them that. But with food this underwhelming and expensive, I definitely won’t be coming back.”

  “Beautiful food, beautiful people. My wife and I had the privilege of eating here for our anniversary. It was a last minute choice and it did not disappoint. Mancia, is a lovely family run restaurant situated in the heart of Newland Avenue. It has a wonderful cozy and relaxed atmosphere and is the perfect setting for an intimate meal or a larger gathering. The food is stunning and the service impeccable! Deborah, the mother of the owner, is a true gem. We were made to feel so welcome, like we were guests in her home. Deborah guided us through the menu, made some excellent recommendations and took care of our every need. Make sure Mancia is the place you next choose to go. You will not be disappointed.”

  “Very disappointing experience. The arancino arrived hot on the outside but completely frozen in the centre. This is the most basic kitchen mistake possible and clearly shows it was taken straight from the freezer and dropped into the fryer without checking temperature or allowing proper cooking time. The tiramisu cream was rock hard and had none of the light, smooth consistency expected from a freshly made tiramisu. The “house focaccia” was simply two small slices of bread with oil. Calling that focaccia and charging it on the receipt as “house bread” is misleading at best. It is not focaccia. The scoglio pasta was disappointing and not cooked al dente. My partner’s pepperoni pizza with nduja was overcooked, almost burnt, and swimming in oil. I did ask the staff if the bread was focaccia and they confirmed it was. Unfortunately, it clearly was not. For context, I am an Executive Chef and cook Italian and Sicilian food daily, so these are not subtle details — they are very basic standards. The staff themselves were excellent: polite, professional, and helpful throughout the evening. The problems are clearly coming from the kitchen. This was meant to be a date night, and the only reason I didn’t raise the issues at the table was because my partner didn’t want me to complain and ruin the evening. To finish, the card machine was brought already including service charge before even asking if we were happy to include it, which feels inappropriate given the quality of the food. Great staff, but the kitchen seriously needs to review its standards.”
