This was my husband and I first visit to Lido di Manhattan, and it definitely won't be our last! The food was absolutely delicious, and the entire dining experience exceeded our expectations. A special thank you to our waitress, Haydee, who made the evening even more enjoyable. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and helpful, providing outstanding service from start to finish. She made us feel genuinely welcome and took great care of us throughout the meal. If you're looking for great food paired with exceptional service, I highly recommend Lido di Manhattan. I can't wait to come back and try other items from the menu, as well as experience some Latin dancing read more

Both were recommended by the staff and he knew exactly what he was talking about Lido's Famous Spicy Vodka Pasta (9/10): Extremely umami pasta with pancetta (italian bacon) parmesan and a creamy salty and spicy sauce that tasted like the perfect combo of buldak rose sauce and shin ramyeon. Seafood Combo Pasta (9/10): Very fresh pasta that doesn't feel too heavy in the mouth. Sauce is light and it is loaded with protein. Scallops were very tender and shrimps were huge. Paired with lemon and some bread on the side I was dipping the extra bread to soak up the extra sauce when I was done with the noodles. A must-try if you like seafood. Both plates were generous with portions and the bread appetizer was fresh with a garlicky olive oil dip. read more

recently had the opportunity to take some friends to Lido di Manhattan Beach Restaurant & Bar, and overall we had a very enjoyable experience. The restaurant is beautiful, very clean, and has an amazing atmosphere that makes it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal with family and friends. The food was good, fresh, and nicely prepared. While I felt the prices were a little high for the quality and portions served, the overall dining experience was still pleasant. We were four adults and two children, ordered a few kids' meals and regular entrees, and our bill came to approximately $400. Nothing we ordered was particularly extravagant, which is why I felt the pricing was somewhat on the expensive side. That said, the service, ambiance, and cleanliness of the restaurant helped make the visit worthwhile. If you're looking for a nice place with a welcoming atmosphere in Manhattan Beach, Lido di Manhattan Beach is definitely worth a visit. read more

Great service, great ambience. Great food! Hidden gem in the South Bay! We enjoyed the spinach and artichoke dip appetizers, the ahi poke and summer rolls. Delicious! Our dinner entrées were the grilled rainbow trout, vodka pasta, filet mignon rigatoni, new york steak, seafood combo and a salmon salad. Our party of 10 was fully satisfied with the food, the staff, location. It was a perfect place for the several celebrations we had that day. We had October family birthdays, and it was a surprise pre-engagement dinner for my daughter also. Staff catered to us so that we made it on time to our next location at the beach for the big event! read more

We came in before closing for a quick drink. Restaurant was full with a birthday dinner. Everyone looked like they were enjoying themselves. We got to know the bartender Javier a bit, he was kind, easy to chat with and attentive. I had a porque no glass of red wine and my friend had a whiskey sour that she enjoyed. We were a little bummed we didn't eat here but nonetheless we are happy to walk into a place that we look forward to dining at. We look forward for some food next time!!! read more

Food was amazing. Went for a bridal shower and had meatballs, pesto bread and vodka pasta. Their passion fruit margarita was refreshing and good! Would definitely come again. read more

I'm a long-time regular at this restaurant, and I absolutely love it. It always has such a cozy and warm atmosphere. Yesterday, I went there for a Christmas dinner, and the vibe was wonderful--the decorations were beautiful as well. I always come here for the seafood combo pasta. It's never heavy or greasy, so I end up finishing every last bit of the sauce. It's a great place not only for spending quality time with family, but I also highly recommend it for a romantic candle-lit dinner with your loved one. read more

upscale italian food is such a treat this is the place to get it. complimentary bread was fresh and came with a delicious olive oil dipping sauce with a kick. my mushroom pappardelle was creamy and chunks of button mushrooms - could have been a little saltier but no matter. my friends had salmon salad and lasagna and we all raved about the food. service is excellent and authentic. read more

Went last night to celebrate a friend's birthday. We (3) shared everything, started with lobster wonton tacos and butternut squash ravioli, both delicious. Then a chopped salad, was good. Then Italian sausage lasagna with a side of steamed broccoli and chicken piccata with side of scalloped potatoes. Lasagna was amazing! Then tiramisu and key lime pie and coffee. Highly recommend. Service was great, very friendly, very efficient. Ready to go back! read more

Always the best service, hospitality and the food is never a disappointment! Treated our family very well for an anniversary. We will definitely be back!! read more

I simply love this restaurant. Lido Di Manhattan is a restaurant located in a shopping plaza which is amazing since there are numerous parking spots. When you walk into the restaurant, the ambiance is so cozy and romantic. It's a good sized restaurant for anyone looking for a beautiful restaurant for a large party or even a date night. When I came here with my friend, we were pleasantly welcomed by the warm hostess. We sat at the bar and had great conversations with her while she told us the history of the restaurant and everything it has to offer. For food, we ordered the calamari, another dish we shared and a few red wines off the menu. We also ordered the tiramisu which was hands down the best tiramisu I ever had. Each food item was so fresh and you can tell was home made. We will definitely be back to try more items! read more

...This place USED TO BE GOOD when I worked in the area... but I don't think my meatballs were legit. They looked and tasted like frozen. Spaghetti craving satisfied, but really disappointed. The garlic sauce for the bread was VERY GOOD, but the bread was less than adequate, especially for an Italian restaurant. It lacked flavor and didn't seem fresh. The salad was good, but had a few wilted pieces. The dressing was a bit too vinegary as it made us cough. read more

If you want delicious food, impeccable service and dine in an attractive ambiance, this is the place for you. I highly recommend spending holidays and special occasions here. They have an elegant indoor dining area and a beautiful back patio. Other places have let me down during the busiest times, but not Lido de Manhattan. read more

I decided to make the trek from Orange County to Manhattan Beach for the day. I admittedly have been watching Kitchen Nightmares and learned that this restaurant has stood the test of time. My server was kind and made an excellent suggestion. I enjoyed my Chicken Sausage Rigatoni and then made room for the Tiramisu. A lovely glass of Syrah and an abundance of solitude in a lightly filled restaurant on an easy Monday night. I had a great time enjoying my meal and look forward to reheating my leftovers for tomorrow's lunch. Thank you read more

The food was fantastic. Generous servings. Didn't need to hit McDees to fill up on the way home. Service was amazing, friendly, personal, and we never had to look for our server. Ambience is cozy, a little dated and could use a refresh. read more

Service was beyond top notch! The salmon & rainbow trout were delicious. Definitely would come back.

A cute date night spot! Cozy booths for two line one wall with a larger banquette on the opposite side for larger parties. Eclectic decor and chandeliers add ambiance. Great options for gluten free patrons! We had the eggplant rolls as an appetizer. My husband had the herb crusted salmon and Gorgonzola mashed potatoes. He described both as "good, but not life altering." I had the spicy pasta with the gluten free penne. The noodles were of good quality and cooked to the perfect consistency unlike other establishments who use corn-based or other poor pasta substitutions. One star was removed for what can only be described as an incredibly awkward encounter with another patron. An older couple was seated in the booth behind us, and the female patron rudely told the people sitting next to us that they were being too loud. They were absolutely NOT being overly loud, just having a fun conversation over dinner. After that encounter, we realized that the older couple must be regular customers as they were warmly greeted by the waitstaff. Not 15 minutes later, the lady traveled to the other side of the room to scold an entire family for being loud (which again, they were not). The poor people were mortified. I wish the employees would have said something to her, but the behavior was unchecked and cast an uncomfortable pall over our side of the restaurant. We felt so badly for the family that we actually went over to reassure them when the grumpy lady went to the restroom. read more

if there was more than 5 stars i would give them that this is the best italian food i have ever ate the noodles were cooked perfectly not to soft not undercooked at all and the spaghetti sauce was amazing with a little bit of spice in a nice pleasant flavorful way this was the best spaghetti i have ever had.

Get the spaghetti and meatballs it was truly amazing read more

Lido's has a nice ambiance that makes for a cozy dining experience, but the service was noticeably slow. The food was decent--not bad, but nothing to rave about. read more

LOVE this restaurant. The food is amazing and everything is made from scratch. The service is top notch. This is a far drive from OC, but worth it. Some of the best Italian food I have ever had. I have been 3 times in 3 months and get the linguine with clams. A waitress named Heidi is the sweetest ever. Wish I lived closer. read more

So happy such a nice local restaurant is open Christmas Eve! The atmosphere with the nice guitar music and festive customers helped to make the food and service so special!!My Sea Bass was cooked to perfection and the Lasagna is always so yummy. read more

My family and I love this place. The food and the service is very good, and the place is convenient for us.

We went into this restaurant knowing nothing about it, and discovered it is a longtime local favorite. They were very welcoming, and our server, Heidi made us feel at home. We had the chopped salad to start, lightly dressed and very fresh. The short rib ravioli was very tasty. Crab linguine and chicken Parmesan for the entrees - both were very good. Heidi treated us to a tiramisu for dessert! We will be back next time we are in the area. Thanks for a great night. read more

Had dinner at this establishment on 4/3/26. I ordered the Prime rib, my wife, the Chilean sea bass. The Prime rib appeared to be overcooked and was tough as leather. I sent back the Prime rib and I requested the Lamb. The waiter brought back the Lamb shank. Wasn't impressed with the flavoring but it was much more tender than the Prime rib. By the next morning, I'm vomiting and experiencing diarrhea, symptoms of food poisoning. My wife sampled some of the Lamb and also had symptoms. I recommend not eating at this restaurant. We will NEVER eat here again. read more

Came across this place as we where in the neighborhood. Absolutely delicious food. No reservations needed and the staff is so nice and knowledgeable of their menu. They make their bread from scratch and the garlic sauce that comes with it is on another level. All of our dishes had amazing flavor. Turns out that after 8:30pm they have music and dancing on certain dates. Will definably back. read more

Went during Valentines night and the service was extremely slow. Took us about an hour to get our food. Server barely made her rounds, which isn't really her fault, looked like they were understaffed. Also I did call the night before asking if we would still have access to original menu and I was told yes. Come to find out the night of that we were limited to the valentines menu. Food was good, I just wish the service was better and had access to the entire menu, or at least told prior that we didn't. We would've went elsewhere if that was the case, as we were more excited for the original menu options. read more

Cozy spot with incredible flavor! Every dish was perfectly seasoned, the pizza melted in my mouth. Fresh ingredients, generous portions, and friendly service. Already craving my next visit. Highly recommend! read more

Thank you Lisa, Caley, and especially Carlos, for helping us throw a perfect birthday party. We rented out the indoor dining room and we very comfortably had space for seating, Photo Booth, DJ, dancing, and cake table. Our guests raved about the entrees (and bread!) and mentioned how great and helpful the staff were. We greatly appreciate Carlos and how he helped us configure the space as well as helping us before and throughout the event. It was easy working with you all and your venue allowed us to throw the type of event we had envisioned within our budget. It was actually our first time ever at this restaurant (it had been recommended by Caley on Nextdoor) - will definitely be back for dinner! Shout out also to Bouquet Sound for the Photo Booth and DJ services! read more

Haven't been to lido in years. In Manhattan beach is a gem in disguise. My wife made reservation for us. Staff was super nice and tentative. We got seated on our arrival. We ordered risotto which is the best in the area. One pasta and one ravioli plate. She got soup of the day clam chowder which was delicious. The decor is old charm lets modern chic. It wasn't a busy night when we were there it used to be super pack house. Place been more than 30 years of service. Recommend for family gathering date night and corporate events. Parking isn't an issue for private lot. read more

Best food! Always great. Service is always perfect ! My favorite place to go to eat also the drinks are great

Good service, quiet and good food. The hostess/server is adorable albeit a little loud lol.

We came here for a graduation party in a private room towards the back. I have to say that this is one of the best parties that I have ever been to at a restaurant with amazing service. I have been here before for another party and it was the same with great service. I have to say wow to the Caesar Salad. I am all about salads and I have to say that this place has one of the best I've ever had. If you like Sword Fish, Lido is spot on. The last time that I had swordfish, it was dry. I have to say that this place had it on point. It was such a great experience and everyone in our party was content and happy with their meal. If you're looking for a place to celebrate a birthday or any occasion, check out Lido! Thank you to Heidi for your great service and kindness! read more

A local quaint neighborhood favorite! The pastas are handmade and sauces are flavorful with fresh ingredients. Our favorites, handmade chicken sausage pasta, spring rolls , lobster raviolis, sea bass and risotto, and the lobster tacos and great clam chowder and fresh bread! The service is awesome they make you feel like you are in their home. The decor is so different and inviting. Dim lighting and cozy. Outdoor patio is fun for a party any size! read more

Ive been going to Lido on & off for years. Ive seen it change/evolve over the years and always felt comfortable there. A neighborhood spot. Confess I've not been in about a year or so. Been dealing with some personal stuff and just haven't returned. I went this weekend for a bday dinner & felt like I'd never left. I felt happy to be back. The staff were all amazing, still there and still loyal. The food was amazing and the same locals were there and also still loyal. As I walked in I was greeted by the smiles and warmth of Javier, Carlos, Heidi and others who remembered me. I had just missed Lisa the owner. We ordered the lobster ravioli twice it was so good. Sea bass w risotto and chocolate soufflé off the charts. Plus they have incredible wines. An amazing patio if you prefer to be outside And you can watch sports in the bar if you So desire. If you've not been please go and support this much loved restaurant. It's a hidden gem and I'm sorry I missed an entire year of not being there. . Thank you team LIDO Dana read more

I wanted to take a moment to share my feedback on my experience hosting a baby shower at Lido di Manhattan this weekend. Carlos made sure the patio area was set up to my liking and allowed me to create an ambiance that was to my liking. Everything was wonderful! The food was tasty, well-timed, and beautifully presented. A huge thank you to your staff--especially Carlos, Kaley, and Jose--who were all incredibly attentive and made my guests feel special. I would definitely recommend your restaurant to anyone who asks! Thanks again for a fantastic experience! read more
