Simply excellent experience!
From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with kindness, friendliness, and great professionalism. The staff was impeccable and completely impartial, despite our "young" age (21-22) compared to the quality of the restaurant—a detail that was far from expected and truly appreciated.
The display of meat cuts was a wonderful idea. Excellent attention to detail, too, like the sterilized towels in the bathroom.
The quality of the service and products was simply excellent: everything was carefully prepared, the flavors extraordinary, and the timing perfect.
5/5☆ well deserved. We'll definitely be back!

Nice place, welcoming welcome appetizer, a little cold impact given the prices and the way they structured the place, the menu should be told and explained and not illustrated on a tablet... overall good quality of meat and good oil

The ambiance is elegant yet minimalist, with excellent service and meticulous attention to detail. I was particularly impressed by the attention to intolerances and allergies, and by the fact that they served several types of warm gluten-free bread. The meat (sliced heifer steak) was good, but I hope to return and try other cuts. The vegetable side dish was generous and tasty. The prices aren't cheap, but I'd say they're adequate for the culinary selection and the staff's expertise.

We had dinner here a few nights ago, the atmosphere was very quiet, especially during the quietest period of the year.
Impeccable service from start to finish.
Very professional and attentive to detail!
Highly recommended, especially for the quality of the meat!

I had the pleasure of dining at McManni Steak House in Racale, at Via de Cristoforis 7, and the experience was nothing short of extraordinary! This restaurant, opened in 2018, is a true gem for meat lovers, offering a menu that combines exceptional quality, attention to detail, and impeccable service.
The atmosphere is welcoming and refined, with minimalist yet elegant interior decor and a lovely outdoor terrace perfect for enjoying a relaxed evening. The staff, led by the passion of the Manni family, is professional, friendly, and always ready to recommend the best pairings, from cuts of meat to wines from their extensive cellar. Matteo Manni and his team demonstrate in-depth knowledge of the industry, the fruit of the family's butchering experience.
The selection of meats is extraordinary: from premium Italian sirloin cuts (such as Chianina and Marchigiana) to international cuts from Ireland, Scotland, and Finland. I tried a T-bone and a tartare: both were perfectly cooked, juicy, and full of flavor, further enhanced by being cooked in a Josper Spanish charcoal oven, which imparts a unique flavor. The sides, such as roast potatoes and grilled vegetables, are also fresh and well-prepared. Special mention goes to the oil and wine pairings suggested by sommelier Claudio, which made the experience even more memorable.
The menu also includes lighter options, such as fillet skewers and Irish lamb chops, perfect for those looking for alternatives to the more substantial cuts. The cover charge includes a delicious welcome crostini with bubbles, a touch of class that kicks off the dinner in the best possible way.
The prices are slightly above the local average, but absolutely justified by the quality of the ingredients and the level of service. Furthermore, the restaurant is attentive to everyone's needs: they offer vegetarian options (such as various sides) and the service is also available in English, making the experience accessible to all.
In short, McManni Steak House is more than just a restaurant, it's a unique culinary experience in the heart of Salento. Whether you're passing through Racale or looking for a memorable dinner, this place is a must-visit for meat lovers. I'll definitely be back!
