Manuel's Vintage Room - Gainesville

I had a wonderful experience at the restaurant. Manuel himself greeted us and took the time to chat for a bit; he's a really nice guy. The dinner was delicious—I ordered the steak frites special, and it was cooked to perfection. We enjoyed sitting at a lovely table by the window, and the service met all our expectations. I definitely recommend this place!

A little expensive, but absolutely delicious and amazing eating. hands down the best Italian in North/Central florida even hits everything in tampa and I tried almost every Italian place in tampa.)

We just had a fantastic time along with an exceptional meal. Our waitress (Amanda) was simply adorable and genuine. She knew the menu and offered her opinion with knowledge and experience. The restaurant is cozy with a home feel to it. We had the specials which were both wonderful. We started with the caprese salad and white bean soup. You cannot go wrong with these choices. Next time we will try the gnocchi and the ravioli which Amanda mentioned were delicious.

I had a truly beautiful meal with outstanding service at this restaurant. Make sure to make a reservation! They have a limited number of tables—only about 15—so securing a table as a walk-in can be tricky. I started with the pear pockets and then had the macadamia chicken, which were both well-presented and expertly prepared. They also offer a wide selection of sauces to accompany every dish. They had fresh seafood, which I didn’t try, but my cousin did and said it was excellent. For dessert, I enjoyed a white chocolate cheesecake with blueberries and a shot of espresso.

I couldn't be more impressed! The calamari was excellent, delicately prepared and served with a delicious garlic red sauce. The butter-soft rock steak was fantastic, and the lobster ravioli had a perfect blend of cheese and seafood flavors. The pasta was freshly made in-house, giving it a wonderful texture. The staff was also outstanding.
