Criniti's Manly

Nice staff but atrocious service - yet again! The acoustics are appalling and to make matters worse the staff blasted the music way, way too loud! Customers are simply not a priority! It's a shame as the food is good if expensive for the simple ingredients used...

Fabulous location be it for a small gathering for dinner or a party. Food is always outstanding and I love that you can sit and watch the pizzas being made while you eat. Love that they have expanded to serving breakfast

Criniti's at Manly is one large restaurant! Occupying a spacious corner spot just across the beautiful Manly wharf, this place gives a glow of a premium lounge / bar look with a touch of family, thanks to its rows of tables. There is one corner at the front of the shop where they serve quick and to-go foods like takeaway coffee and patisserie offerings like croissant and rolls.

We were there for an afternoon tea so we decided to order some of their cake offerings: eclairs, cronuts, cartocci, and tartufini (white chocolate ball). Despite their mouth-watering presentation (the cronuts looked a little unique like stacked pancakes!), the cakes were actually quite standard, although they were reasonably priced

The service was a little off despite the number of staff available to serve. They were a little clueless as to how to order the cakes from the table, and one even left before we finished ordering for the whole table.

We had a three course meal and literally rolled out, could not fit another thing in. My absolute favourites were the prosciutto wrapped figs and the banana choc crepes which was a surprise as not something I would normally order. Too good!!!

So good....we gorged ourselves on a three course meal and the absolute highlight was the figs wrapped in prosciutto.....divine!!!
