8/10A decent choice of traditional tapas dishes cooked to a good standard. Ambience was cheerful and the staff were friendly, although the lighting was a tad too bright for my taste. Only real issue was the garlic prawns - pretty small and over-cooked, although the flavour was good. Good for groups.

8/10Very friendly establishment with a genuine feel. Staff were lovely and the food great. Probaly could do with some dimmers on the lights for evening time as it felt very bright and industrial under the huge bright lights.

9/10Located just a walk’s away from Clapham junction station, this restaurant was easy to find and accessible. Service didn’t start off super well as it looked like the staff almost didn’t know we had a reservation and didn’t know which table to put us on. However, the menu had a really good range, was vegetarian friendly too. Food was delicious and ended up being really solid value for money. Service was a bit slow / short staffed but very friendly and helpful with giving recommendations on how much to order etc. Overall a good experience, would come back.
Casa Manolo Clapham • Owner
Thank you for your detailed review, Yung Lo! We're glad to hear you found our restaurant easily accessible and enjoyed our menu selection, especially the vegetarian options. We apologize for the initial confusion with your reservation and the slower service. We're working to improve in these areas. It's great to know you found the food delicious and a good value for money. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to welcoming you back soon! -David from Casa Manolo

8/10A perfectly good restaurant with tasty tapas style food. Sadly, devoid of atmosphere as we were the only diners during the lunchtime period. Pleasant helpful staff offered good service.

9.5/10Gorgeous little tapas, huge selection of different dishes for all tastes along with a good selection of different drinks. Dishes came out as ready, all delicious and nice touch at the beginning a little complimentary chorizo on toast while we looked at the menu. Really friendly staff, attentive service - will visit again.

5/10The restaurant deco was nice, kind of like a butcher’s shop. They were understaffed so the service was slow, and not really on point because they didn’t let us know in advance what they were missing, also I am in crutches never offered extra room for my leg or showed me where the toilets are. Quality of food very poor, small portions and high prices, missing items which we wanted to order as we went there for the seafood. The experience was really disappointing.
