About Manhattan In Mornington Restaurant

Tucked just off the coastal strip in Mornington, this lively Italian spot delivers the feel of a spirited European holiday. Long-time Peninsula blow-ins bypass the standard beachside views for window seats and warm plates of Manhattan's Mare Monti packed with fresh seafood. Tables share calzone, pizza capricciosa, and calamari fritti alongside surprising twists like fettuccine tossed in mild, creamy Fantasia curry sauce. The bar even shakes up off-menu Toblerone cocktails on request. When group plans go sideways on a brisk Friday night, staff fire up the back courtyard heaters to seat fifteen without missing a beat. The meal wraps up over fresh donuts and classic tiramisu.

  • Heated Courtyard for Groups: Staff readily accommodate large parties by opening up the heated outdoor back courtyard on busy nights.
  • Fantasia Curry Fettuccine: Alongside Italian classics, the kitchen serves fettuccine dressed in a mild, creamy Fantasia curry sauce.
  • Off-Menu Cocktail Requests: Bartenders happily mix off-menu favorites like Toblerone cocktails to cap off milestone celebrations.

  • Inventive Twists on Classic Comfort Pasta

    The kitchen dares to break standard Italian culinary boundaries with distinct offerings like creamy mild curry over fettuccine.

    Curry and pasta are not two things you would normally find together on a menu so I thought, why not. And it worked.

Heated Courtyard for Large Parties

If your group size unexpectedly expands or booking details get scrambled on busy nights like Friday, ask staff about the heated back courtyard, which can flexibly fit gatherings of 15 or more.

Curry Fettuccine Comfort Option

If you are seeking comfort pasta beyond standard bolognese, try the Fantasia Sauce pairing creamy mild curry with fettuccine pasta for an unexpected menu twist.

Ask for Bespoke Cocktails

If your celebratory dinner calls for a favorite specialty drink not listed on the standard drinks menu, ask staff if they can prepare custom cocktails like a Toblerone cocktail.
