Manteca Menu

Manteca is an Italian inspired restaurant at 49–51 Curtain Road in Shoreditch. Its cooking is rooted in whole animal butchery and careful sourcing, translating those ideas into an energetic dining experience that feels contemporary while respecting traditional craft.

Hand rolled pasta is one of the kitchen’s signatures, with sauces and fillings changing to make use of seasonal produce and less familiar cuts. Wood fired breads arrive from the same hands on approach, giving diners a natural starting point before the richer dishes that follow.

An in house salumeria turns selected meat into cured preparations, while fire cooked cuts are sized for sharing across the table. This nose to tail philosophy reduces waste and gives the menu a distinctive identity, balancing refined technique with robust, comforting flavours.

An amaro focused cocktail list matches the food’s Italian direction, and the wine list moves between low intervention bottles and classic fine wines from Italy, Europe and beyond. Lunch and dinner sessions make Manteca equally suited to a focused pasta meal or a longer exploration of the kitchen’s sharing dishes.

Address: 49–51 Curtain Road, Shoreditch, London EC2A 3PT, England
