About

MANSA is a hospitality brand based in New York City. We take all of the attention to detail that fine dining offers with a warm and homey approach. We want to be able to share this with you during life's most important moments and create unforgettable experiences.

Manuela Sanin, our Chef and Founder, grew up in Medellin, Colombia, and immigrated to the US at the young age of 10. She went to Culinary School at 19 and has dedicated her life to restaurants, hospitality and food.

She began her culinary career in neighborhood restaurants in New York City, eventually working her way up to Executive Pastry Sous Chef at none other than Michellin-starred Eleven Madison Park. There, she lead the pastry team and developed a love for minimalistic aesthetic and bold flavors.

She then founded MANSA in Los Angeles and recently relocated back to New York City!

I've had the pleasure of working with Manuela on several different events, and she has consistently exceeded my expectations. She is a highly skilled and experienced caterer who is passionate about her work. She takes the time to get to know her clients and their needs, and she always delivers delicious food and impeccable service. I highly recommend Manuela for any type of event, from corporate gatherings to social celebrations.

The Perfect Cake Experience

I needed a cake for my dear friends birthday party and didn’t want just a conventional cake. I needed something fabulous. Someone suggested I reach out to Mansa LA. The birthday girl loves old fashioned chocolate cakes and also likes coffee and so with that information I discussed the possibilities with the extremely kind and accommodating Manuela. What was delivered was beyond our expectations. A exquisite cake with mocha that was moist, insanely delicious and a work of art in every way. The flavors of chocolate and coffee perfectly balanced. perfectly. Weeks later the guests are still talking about this cake. A + experience

It’s a yes!

I had the most beautiful experience working with Manuela at Mansa LA. She was easy to work with and made herself available to talk with me through every part of the process. She took into account everything I needed for the event, including what my goal was to express through the meal, allergies and food restrictions, the amount of the people there were to feed, and curated an insane meal full of nutrition, color, variety, and impeccable taste. My guests left very happy and full. It’s really special to find someone who is incredibly good at what they do, and deliver with such kindness, thoughtfulness, and lots of laughs. If you want your event, wedding, etc. to go the extra mile, working with Mansa will take you there.
