Manicomio City occupies a stunning glass fronted Norman Foster building set over three floors moments from St Paul’s. Situated on Gutter Lane which runs between Cheapside and Gresham Street.

This somewhat hidden Italian gem buzzes Monday to Friday from the moment it opens at 8am with nearby workers on the coffee run and business breakfasters. Lunch service from 12pm is lively and Manicomio's spectacular take away counter has proven to be as alluring as the ground floor café itself, and also the two floors of a la cate dining above.

Come the afternoon, the ground floor café draws a crowd from early evening drinkers, gradually transforming into an atmospheric candlelit cocktail bar offering aperitifs and snacks before the kitchen starts its dinner service.

Lovely food, service was great only slight annoyance was that one of the diners asked for a glass of house wine which is usually the less expensive but this was one of the most expensive. Perhaps the server should have shown them the wine list rather than deciding on the wine. Would go again but this time check the drinks prices more carefully before making a choice

Excellent service, excellent food and wine. Nothing else to say except that it is my only eating venue in London to take family and friends.

Quick business lunch - they allowed us to select from the salad bar, which was a bonus. The outside tables were a little cramped together under the parasols (had to kind of weave our way around the parasol stands to wedge into seat) , I know they want to maximise covers but the back part of the terrace was a bit too cheek-by-jowl. Still we only needed an hour, the food was great and there was a decent range of non-alcoholic drinks. I enjoyed the salads so much I have been back twice to have some as a take-out for lunch.
