Divided into a hip front bar and sultry back dining rooms, Manna wows with its competent, contemporary creations. Premium produce dictates the menu, which might see tagliatelle pasta paired with duck ragù and Parmesan crisps, or mackerel fillet served with aromatic herbs, seaweed and a salted lemon gelo (Sicilian jelly). Staff are competent and friendly, and the wine list is focused on worthy drops.
