★★★★★ 5.0 Johnson Tien · Jan 2026

The atmosphere is very authentic and traditional—comfortable, welcoming, and great for conversation without feeling stuffy. Even during lunch, they added such a cool personal touch when the (very nice and good-looking!) manager pulled out an accordion and played while everyone sang Happy Birthday. Totally unexpected and very memorable. The food was excellent. I had the bolognese, which was rich and satisfying without being too heavy for midday. Clint ordered the spaghetti and meatballs—classic and done right. Devin had the seafood special, which looked incredible and tasted just as amazing. We also shared the calamari appetizer, and it was perfectly cooked—crispy and tender. Great food, authentic atmosphere, and thoughtful touches make Manalu an easy recommendation for both lunch meetin

★★★★★ 5.0 Joshua Cooper · Jan 2026

Fantastic experience. The food was excellent — the pizza and chicken parm were especially good, and the appetizers were great too. Service was friendly and attentive the whole time, and they even surprised us with calamari on the house. This place actually has some history for me. The first time I came here back in March 2024, I ended up being taken out by ambulance after my heart rate and blood pressure went wild. Later I was diagnosed with autonomic dysfunction. Coming back now, feeling better and actually able to enjoy the meal, meant a lot. Same great restaurant, just a much better chapter. Easy 5 stars.

Evening date nice, well priced, good atmosphere and great service! Marcello, our server, was on point every time! Even though it was busy in there, he was always near by to help. The food was authentic and flavorful. Italian cuisine with an amazing wine 🍷 selection. Desserts made from scratch. One of the best restaurants in the Frederick area in my opinion. Will definitely return to try other dishes.

★★★★★ 5.0 Tilysha Gleason · Dec 2025

Delicious and authentic Italian food. So glad we found this place. Highly recommend. We ordered meatballs with the spicy diablo sauce and crostini de mare for appetizers. Both were incredible. It's important to note that this place has really great quality seafood. We had a caesar salad, lobster bisque soup, and their house made bread. The soup and bread were both outstanding. For our entrees, my husband ordered a daily special which included sea bass, mussels, clams, and other seafood served over pasta and a light red sauce. Delicious and quality seafood dish. The fish was so buttery, 10/10. I ordered the Ravioli Mare E Monti. This is one of the best pasta dishes I've had. Really creamy and rich. Also a 10/10. We ordered the creme brulee for dessert and it was delicious. The restaurant ha

★★★★★ 5.0 Michael N · Dec 2025

We all loved it! The food is excellent, very good drinks and deserts. I had what I think was the best cannoli I've ever had. Certainly the freshest. I had the vegetable baked zitti and it was awesome. Can't wait to return to try other dishes. The berrytini was very yummy, too.
