Rare Australia08 Posted March 21, 2019 #1 Share Posted March 21, 2019 My husband and I have only cruised once on Viking Ocean and really enjoyed the experience. We weren’t terribly impressed with our choices at Manfredi’s however. We have another cruise coming up soon. Does anyone have suggestions for their favorite dishes at Manfredi’s? Maybe you can steer us to something we’ll love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Avery Posted March 21, 2019 #2 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Hard to pick one favo(u)rite dish but I will offer a suggestion. They were very amenable to us asking for changes. We could ask for a different sauce, sauce on the side, or different amounts of cheeses, etc. Everyone has a best Italian place back home and maybe just a minor change would mean you enjoy Manfredi's 🍸better.

SrCruizer Posted March 21, 2019 #3 Share Posted March 21, 2019 We sailed on Viking recently and went to Manfredi’s several times. The service was great and we did have a fun time dining there but I was disappointed in one of my main dishes. I decided to try veal scallopini but felt the menu’s description of the dish didn’t match what arrived on my plate. At another dinner, my husband and I both had the rib eye steak and it was delicious. I do remember that we weren’t disappointed in any of the first courses, side dishes or desserts. We will be going on another VO soon and will certainly go to Manfredi’s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Barracuda Posted March 21, 2019 #4 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Really enjoy the mussels appetizer in saffron cream with crab meat. Ordered it 4 times in one sailing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dauntless Posted March 21, 2019 #5 Share Posted March 21, 2019 The rib eye is excellent. they also do a "London Broil" type steak. Did not care for tiramisu. I've eaten there 3 times and didn't get sick but was not overly impressed but that may be because we have many fine Italian/Steak House Restaurants in my home town so it doesn't seem all that special.

mariavii Posted March 21, 2019 #6 Share Posted March 21, 2019 The choices in the bread basket were the best part of the meal at Manfredis. I was unimpressed by much of what we ate on the two occasions we tried it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchberet Posted March 22, 2019 #7 Share Posted March 22, 2019 We dined at Manfredi’s twice (2 cruises). Agree that the bread basket choices were great. My tip is to order a half portion of the second course and a half portion of a pasta dish. The food is good but the portions are very large. We’re not foodies but we really enjoyed the 5 menus we tried at the Chef’s Table; an adventure in dining, lots of fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvmovielover Posted March 23, 2019 #8 Share Posted March 23, 2019 I liked the salad and the bread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our pasta and main dishes were always custom due to dietary needs. We were pretty friendly with the staff and chef by our last visit and can’t wait to return.

We prefer and enjoy Chef's Table where the menu changes every three days for the different flavors and textures. We've never had a less than enjoyable meal at the Chef's Table. The Restaurant has a lot of choices and, in our opinion, is very good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bread basket selection is also really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insanityx4 Posted March 25, 2019 #13 Share Posted March 25, 2019 We have eaten at Manfredi's at least 6 or 7 times. I have ordered the steak on three occasions. Twice it was amazing and so tender and flavorful, the third time it was so tough I couldn't cut it. The same thing happened to my husband. Our favorites are the bread, octopus carpaccio, calamari, mussels in saffron, truffle risotto, all of the pasta dishes, and salads. We always get half orders of the rice and pasta dishes as well as the entrees. All of their meat is prime. The menu does change. We were on two cruises last year and the entrees pretty much remained the same but the sides and pasta dishes were very different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Peregrina651 Posted March 26, 2019 #14 Share Posted March 26, 2019 The rib eye is good but I like the rack of lamb even better. And the mussel appetizer to start. Yum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
