   Reservation was made and confirmed via OpenTable, but when we arrived the restaurant was closed. There were other people waiting outside just like us. Someone who claimed to be the restaurant's owner drove pass us in their car and asked why we were there as they closed at 7pm. Extremely poor experience, will not recommend.

   We're truly sorry to hear about this experience, Mikaela. That’s absolutely not the situation anyone should face when arriving for a confirmed reservation. We understand how frustrating and disappointing this must have been, especially after making plans to dine with us. We’ll be looking into what went wrong to ensure this doesn’t happen again. Again, our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused. -David from Casa Manolo

   Nice and friendly staff, ambience was also pleasant however the food was awful! Everything looked and tasted like a microwave meal including the paella, which was a real shame as we were looking forward to some authentic Spanish tapas! Unfortunately, I would not eat here again!

   Great Ensaladilla Rusa and the Pata Negra ham is well worth the money. Staff really attentive and it’s a perfect place before a game at The Cottage. Highly recommended!

   Lovely food; stand outs were ham croquetas and pulpo. Tapas is always a little pricey in london but I wasn’t disappointed by the quality here. Service was casual but appropriate for a lunchtime, not in your face attentive and we were left alone. There was only one other table dining but it was a Monday lunchtime so cannot comment on atmosphere. Our Rioja was fabulous so we had to share another bottle - of course. We took away iberico ham and manchego - both delicious too but not cheap!

   Welcoming service and attentive throughout. The tapas was lovely and fresh, and the house wine was very much better than expected. Will be back.

   Where do I start? This restaurant marked us down as a no show even though we attended. I got an email from open table saying we shouldn’t ever not show up. WE DID ATTEND. And to be honest I wish we didn’t. The sangria was great! The food was not so great. The pork cheeks in red wine sauce was pork in gravy ... not red wine sauce. The chorizo was the blandest chorizo I have ever tasted. We also ordered the duck leg which was pink all the way through, including the skin, we couldn’t eat it. To top it off it is not cheap. Please don’t waste your time here. We recently moved to Wandsworth from Clapham so thought let’s try our closest new tapas. Please don’t. Let the trip advisor reviews speak for themselves.

   For a start it's a pretty tight space of you have a pram with you. You have to move tables out of the way to get a pram through so good luck if the restaurant is full. We were lucky it wasn't. As it's on Putney High Street, parking is mucho difficult....(non drinker so I drive everywhere)! The food was a bit over priced for what it was....but in their defence they're on Putney high street and the rent/business rates won't be cheap. But that's no excuse. If you're going to charge higher than average prices then your food has to back it up and this failed. It's a restaurant that also sells it's vinos/jamons/cheeses/sauces etc and I can't help feeling that if they got rid of the sales racks and concentrated on the quality of the restaurant's food, they'd be brilliant. The location is great for passing foot traffic but one visit may be enough for most people given the amount of choice in the area.

   Hola! I have been here multiple times for the excellent quality deli items and swift service. The Jamon Iberico is second to none. I attended for dinner with my date and whilst the date itself didn't go too well, we both enjoyed the food and I liked the music (Que Tama?). The staff gave me a bottle of chilled cava to take home and drink my sorrows with. So thoughtful! Muchos Gracias e Adios!

    Although we had our booking confirmed for 8.30 on 31/12 we called on our way there to verify and were told that they were closing at 9! So basically there was no reservation and nobody bothered to let us know. Why do you take bookings in the first place when you know you won't be open for service?? This is unacceptable!
