Reviews
From the moment we started planning, we worked with Gianna, who was an absolute dream. Having Gianna by your side is what I imagine having a fairy godmother would be like. She was warm, professional, and incredibly thoughtful from day one — offering great advice, creative suggestions, and genuine care for every detail. In the weeks leading up to our big day, she communicated with us regularly to ensure she had a clear sense of our vision, and on the day itself, she made that vision come to life flawlessly.
When we walked into the garden patio, it looked exactly as we had imagined — simply stunning. And when our bakery ran into unexpected delays with the wedding cake, Gianna handled the entire situation behind the scenes with grace and determination, taking on hours of stress and phone calls so that we could stay completely in the moment. Thanks to her, the cake arrived just in time, and we were able to have our cake-cutting moment without the stress.
Manducatis Rustica will forever hold a special place in our hearts. It was everything we could have hoped for and more. We can’t wait to return to enjoy the food, reminisce, and celebrate future milestones.
The owner Gianna was so pleasant and understanding. While the restaurant was fully booked, she was nice enough to work with us and find a suitable table. Not only was she and the rest of the staff accommodating but we also had one of the best Italian dinners in a while.
The chicken parm was cooked to perfection. The clams were fresh as if it came straight from the ocean. And the bolognese might have been the most flavorful I’ve ever had.
If I could rate this place a 6 out of 5 I would!
Place was large and had a nice garden but we sat inside and staff was super pleasant and accommodating
Calamari was perfect and most of the entrees were wonderful especially the Marsala chicken was the best as well as my filet of sole and daughters Buccatini although on the salty side along with the chicken parm but tolerable for the young adults
The pizza however was ok as we ordered the one with prosciutto and funghi. I think it was missing a little more cheese and sauce and can be cooked slightly more for the crust but all else was delicious
There was a lovely garden in back too that would be nice on a nice night out
Was too full and would have loved dessert but will need to return again
It’s also a perfect place to hold an event. We had our baby shower in the backyard patio in the Spring. Even though it was a bit chillier than we wanted, the food, atmosphere and the care and attention from the staff made it a hit. Gianna was such a pleasure to work with – she’s done a ton of these events so everything just felt easy. Our family and friends left the event so full and happy.
