Maybe just went on a bad night but the service was off (we were literally forgotten at one point for about 50 minutes) and the food didn’t justify the small menu that night, it wasn’t bad but it wasn’t good. The atmosphere was too loud, couldn’t have a normal conversation and we went on a Wednesday night, can’t imagine going on a Friday or Saturday. Oh and to top it off: when I called to try to make reservations she spoke to me like I was stupid, yelling;”if you look at our social media and everywhere you would see we don’t make reservations” and hung up on me (:. but it literally says “no reservations, no exceptions” which I’m sure 99% of people take it as if you don’t have a reservation we won’t make an exception.

No exaggeration, this place is EVERYTHING! Being in the city for a visit, time was limited but Mano is a must try! Every plate is geniously put together, occasionally the recipe is even changed up to serve us better (the beef tartar is a new recipe, for instance) and the service and vibes are perfect! We shared multiple plates, my favorites being the beef tartar, the crudo, the pesto pasta, and the tiramisu (all pictures). We also had the bolognese, caesar salad, and the specials were a chicken pasta and a blueberry cake. Everything was devoured. The ingredients are fresh and the flavours mix unexpectedly perfectly. We got served by Vitor, an awesome guy we had the pleasure to talk to! The only thing is that there were numerous annoying flies in the restaurant, which is hard to control in summer but can easily bother the people eating. Other than that, they deserve all the hype this place gets!!!

This was the fourth or fifth time I went here but something was off. When we walked in, we went from the back patio and we were told to ask for help inside. Once inside, the person we talked said talk to the hostess in the front. We had to figure out where she was and once we located her, The hostess then took care of us. There was a lot of staff in the place but service however was very very slow for a few sandwiches and a coffee. The coffee was great but the sandwiches were not and they took a solid 30-40 minutes to be served to us. My sandwich was so soggy and watery it was not worth taking a picture of it. Service and food were very inconsistent compared to what I had experienced previously. Out of courtesy, I made sure to tell the first server that the food was not great but she didn’t seem to care much, so I made sure to tell the second person I talked to because she seemed more attentive and on point and she said they would have been happy to give me another one and she even told our server. I was too concerned at this point that I would have to wait another 30 minutes for another sandwich with bread that felt a bit dry, barely any bread, and another sandwich I personally wouldn’t have enjoyed after all. I’d come back for coffee, drinks, dessert and warm food but not sure I would come back for another sandwich/ snack.

The best Italian restaurant you can go to in Montreal! Amazing food and service. The Italian iced tea is one of the best cocktails I’ve ever had, and the food is so fresh and delicious you’ll think you’re in a dream. Do not miss out on this spot, or you’ll definitely regret it, and if you happen to have to wait in line, I promise the wait will be worth it!

I recently have tried the food in this Italian restaurant and so far it has been my favorite spot to eat pasta. Although it’s all the time busy and usually there is a lineup, but still it’s worthy to try and be patient to get served. We try the salad, pasta pesto, and pasta Bolognese. Pasta pesto was my favorite among the others 🤌 I also tried you sooner the portion was big and it was worth it to try. One other thing that I like about this restaurant is the fact that I was able to see exactly how chef and his team are working in the kitchen, and it was nice to see the steps to prepare my food in front of me.

This is our go to Italian restaurant when we’re in Montreal now. The menu is limited which is what makes it so good. You really can’t go wrong.

I heard many great things about this place but was so DISAPPOINTED. Two of my friend and I went on a Sunday. We were told they only had one menu with 4 courses for the evening which looked great on paper. The first course was an uncut salade served in one plate for the table. As well, for the two first courses, we were serve the same amount of food as the couple next to us... When we said something, they told us it was a "mistake" and received a bit more. The main course was the tomato pasta dish (see picture). Apart from the cool shape of pasta, I could have literally done this at home: pasta, tomato sauce and cheese... very plane and sad. I'm honestly still unsure what we were served or happened on that evening... but this was not the restaurant I heard about.

Amazing food! Their Caeser salad is out of this world, something you haven’t tried before. Friendly, professional service, listened to all of their recommendations and didn’t regret! (They even offered a little compliment drink) I had great pleasure having lunch at Mano Cornuto, will definitely come back.

Yes and yes. Finally found my little Italian place where I can eat a simple pasta. I had the bolognese and the pasta of the day (blue cheese base). Service was genuinely friendly. Waitress was not trying to oversell but advice us well based on our needs. We happened to see the place while doing a bike ride. At noon on a Saturday, we were just looking for a coffee as it was freezing outside. But we wanted to try the food so we went at it. So glad we did. This is now my top place for causal Italian meal. Prices are reasonable. And by the way the best Caesar’s salad I had. Atmosphere was a mix of foodies/ tourists and local/regulars. The owners are there and care about the place. They make the pasta on site. Staff is young and seemed to enjoy working there. We did not have wine but there seemed to have excellent choices. Desert: we tried the pistachio tart. So well done. Yes this is a good place. I recommend.

Great date spot or nice place to catch up with friends. While the food and drinks are very expensive, the margarita pizza was absolutely to die for (and is the cheapest thing on the menu). Their wine selection is huge as well with lots of variety, just take note that very few options are offered by the glass; most are by the bottle. The music was relaxing and not too loud, and the interior of the restaurant is beautiful. Staff were very kind, quick and informative, and the food took no time to come to the table!

Looking for a fun, small, and hip place to have lunch or dinner? This is it! The food never disappoints, the service is always on point and the ambiance is super lively! I’ve been here countless times. They have a wide selection of wine, and it’s a great spot for either a girls night or a romantic date night.

Last day in Montreal and a perfect way to complete the break… the food was amazing. Sitting at the bar watching the coordination of this well oiled restaurant was astonishing. Thank you guys for an unforgettable evening.

My wife and I ate here a few weeks ago. It was well worth the wait. We had outstanding service at the bar and some great food. The highlight for me was the whole fish with Italian broccoli. Lots of great wine and conversation with the bartender and other guests. Loved it.

It’s a restaurant you want to visit more than once. They don’t change their menus regularly, but everything one the menu is classic. Try to go there with friends and share everything cause you want to try as much as possible and the portion is suitable to share.

Lovely place, the inside is very stylish, same for the waiters and waitresses but the food was definitely far too salty(probably to make you drink more) , and the portions were very underwhelming for the price. It's not pricey but it's just not worth it. But presentation was very on point both for the food and general decor. The music choice was decent too. Side note the sandwich had a very interesting combination of sweet and salty, so that was decent.

Visited on a Wednesday night, 1930hrs. Will definitely recommend getting a reservation if possible, it can get really busy at this restaurant. We were seated at the corner of the bar table as we went without one. But the bartender, Gustaf is very attentive and friendly, making sure that we do not feel left-out even though we are placed at the corner. Food was great, we love the crudo dish and ABSOLUTELY adore the pistachio cake! I am not a cake lover but we will gladly gobble down this goodness anytime. Great price tag, delicious food, al-dente pasta. Will definitely recommend to anyone to check it out.

5 stars. Great experience, every dish was amazing and flavorful. Service was great, they tended to us very timely. And very reasonable prices for exemplary food. Highly recommend.

Beautiful terrace. Walk-ins only so expect to wait 15-30 minutes. Can reserve for inside seating but the place is very small so reservations two weeks ahead of time is recommended. Excellent, professional service throughout the meal. Seasonal menu that seemed to be adjusted to whatever was fresh and available. For example, swordfish fish main, based on pictures found on Google, had a lot more roasted vegetables previously. Ours had more heirloom tomatoes that are just perfectly ripe and sweet. Another huge hit was the Bolognese. Traditional. Simple. Flavourful. The stuff that dreams are made of. One of the other mains we tried was the breaded pork chop. It was well cooked albeit a little under seasoned. In the appetizers, we tried the branzino crudo and the Nordic shrimps. The sauce in the branzino was such a nice balance of richness and acidity. Never tasted anything like it. Soped it up with some focaccia. It can do no wrong. The Nordic shrimps were served with a herb filled ricotta dressing. Freshness in a plate. We noticed that for other tables, the dish was plated on a side plate. Ours was plated on one side of a dining plate. The portion is fairly small so dinners beware. To us, having it plated on the larger dining plate really emphasized the small portion of the dish. For dessert, the classic tiramisu just perfectly wrapped up the meal. No fanfare, no bells and whistles. Just that beautifully rich square of tiramisu. These guys understood that tiramisu needed to be left alone. No more reinventing and reinterpreting. Just. Plain. Tiramisu. Overall food was absolutely amazing with some very small misses. The prices were extremely reasonable given the quality of food. As for the drinks, they have a small selection of cocktails. The Kitchen Spritz was where beer met Aperol Spritz. Light and refreshing in the summer heat on a terrace. But then again, it's a question of perspective. Another person at the table found that it tasted like juice from the sink mat. The classic Aperol Spritz was strong on the Aperol. Again, question of preference I guess. The wine list seemed to be focused mainly on natural wines. Some claim it's the future. Others believe it's just a fad. If you're unfamiliar with the wines on their list, as one of their excellent servers for recommendations. In the end, a great restaurant to try for the first time and definitely one to go back to throughout the seasons. Quality price is right up there given the area. Restaurants are a dime a dozen around there and this one definitely stands out. Reserve ahead of time, arrive early or enjoy a cocktail or a beer as you wait. It's worth the wait.

This is an amazing spot with really great energy. Looks like they have a cute patio which appeared to be dog friendly. We had dinner here on our last night in Montreal. It was a Sunday evening and they had a set menu. The food was fantastic, the service even better. In fact, this is the best service we had at any establishment during our whole trip to Montreal. Overall good value for the set menu Sunday nights. Highly recommend, will definitely return next time I'm in Montreal!

10/10 - Service was top notch. Food was incredible. Drinks were perfect. We split the rigatoni special, crudo, and burrata - Portions were spot on. We exited excited to come back!

Didn’t know why it was so hard to get a seat at this place til I finally got in. The food is great and fresh. We sat by the bar and had the pesto pasta, swordfish and a great Nordic shrimp appetizer. Cute terrasse outside too and they have high chairs for kids. Service was good and food and drink are to die for. Will def be back again and would love to try their lunch. Parking is terrible but that isn’t the restaurants fault and I guess a ton of ppl from the condos around it go too. Wish it was easier to book a table.

Amazing restaurant, great friendly staffs, out of this world food. Total 10/10 if not more! Recommend the burrata! Worth revisiting.

Very crowded and over rated address, service has been very bad last time we visited. The ambiance is just ok, their Sunday menu is more expensive than ever with just basic leftover ingredients, ex : extra basic pasta pesto. We used to like Mano Cornuto when they started their business a few years ago, I would not recommend as it is better for you to get Barilla pasta and mix it with Stefano sauce and you will have a better pasta dinner. Still giving them a 2 star review because we managed to have good times there after all. PS: please work on your staff and make sure they keep a friendly attitude !!!!

What an amazing Place. We went to this restaurant looking for Italian food. The Waiter was very friendly and was helpful deciding the different wine and beer sections. The food was great as well, portions were a little on the small side however. The place was full so making a reservation is recommended. Overall solid eat, and would recommend to everyone.

One unique aspect of this restaurant was that they prepared the pasta right in front of you, which added an interesting touch to the meal. The burrata with pistachios and in a purée of pistachio and artichoke was good; it had a blend of flavors. However, the Campanelle alla Bolognese wasn't anything spectacular and didn't leave a lasting impression but it wasn’t bad by any means. The ambiance of the restaurant was quite lively, but be prepared for a bit of warmth due to the open cooking area and limited ventilation. It's worth noting that there can be some waiting lines, so making a reservation might be a good idea if you want to give it a try.

I’ve been to this restaurant twice and both experiences have been fantastic. Last night Thomas was our server and he was amazing - he has a lovely demeanour and made great recommendations for our table. All of the staff are very friendly and very quick! The food is incredible - favourites are the espresso martini, aperol spritz, Caesar salad, Burrata and limoncello cheesecake. We will definitely be back!

Sunday, 12:44, I ask the waitress for a table for two and she said it will take 20-25 min . I go outside and I saw 3 tables of two, empty, I ask if we can sit there and the said no problem. Why she didn’t offer those tables? I new this was a pasta place, but I was surprised when I saw they only have two kind of pasta , and only pesto or bolognese sauce. We got our plates and I ask for some bread , the bread never arrived. The pasta, and the bolognese souse was perfect, the beer too. The pistacho cake was ok, nothing really special.

The service here top notch, waiters are all very friendly! The food is delicious but the bone marrow risotto dish was a little bit underwhelming. I really recommend getting more appetizers such as the burrata and the sea bass. The place is very small and very busy even on Monday’s so be prepared to wait. I do recommend giving this place a try!

Food: Bolognese pasta was indeed incredible, however the restaurant itself was nothing special. Other menu selections looked fantastic as well (although not much selection). Menu: The selection is extremely minimal, so I would not recommend a spontaneous visit; review the menu beforehand. Restaurant: The indoor part of the restaurant was not air-conditioned whatsoever so it was unpleasant on a hot day, however if it weren't for the excessive amount of wasps, we would have definitely eaten on the terrace instead. Staff/service: you cannot differentiate the staff whatsoever, no uniform is fine but at least have a distinguishable dress code. Also the water was ridiculously warm, like even warmer than generic tap water, not sure if it was a business tactic to get us to order beverages. The overall service was basic but nothing more. Overall: the food quality supercedes most factors of my review, hence the positive result, but I would not consider this one of my typical 5 star dining experiences.

Fell for the ratings in Google and were very disappointed. Starting from the fact that we expected about an hour for a free table, ending with the service and prices. There were 6 of us and the waitress came up to us without a notepad, but just remembered what we said (it was strange), at first we thought she was a professional, but it turned out not to be. The second time she came up with a tablet and still took the wrong order. My boyfriend doesn't drink alcohol and he said so, but the emu was brought alcohol anyway. And I repeated my order three times and they brought me not what I wanted. In general, I was very disappointed and angry. I do not recommend!!!

We stopped in for a late lunch and were blown away by the whole experience. The dishes we had were amazing, high quality ingredients exceptionally prepared. The effervescent gin and tonic is one of the best cocktails I've ever had. The mix between the citrus, effervescence, and the slight saltiness from the olive was a truly intoxicating combination. The staff was friendly and welcoming. If you find yourself in Montreal you do not want to miss Mano Cornuto! Do yourself a favor and stop by for some amazing food and a couple of cocktails!

One of my favourite place. They now take reservations which makes it easier but better book in advance! Wasn’t too busy on a Tuesday. The panna cotta was a killer.

Perfect restaurant to go with friends or in a casual date. The atmosphere is loud and fun, food is incredibly tasty and service is friendly and familiar. I have been here like 4 times over the years and the quality and experience is always incredible

Walked in on a Thursday evening and I’m very grateful that they gave us a table 30 mins later inspite of not having a reservation. The food is fresh and the flavours are authentic, which makes for a very satisfying dining experience! The staff was very friendly and accommodating. This place has been on my list for months and I’m soo happy I finally got to eat here in my birthday month! Be careful where you park, we went back to a $90 parking ticket after this delicious meal :(

Phenomenal drinks and food! Veggie friendly items with great flavour. We got the caesar salad, burrata and pesto pasta. All delicious. Interesting that only 2 seaters are available at the bar but Gustave made our visit exceptional! We would definitely come back to visit. Thank you Mano Cornuto and Gustave!

Visited here when travelling and loved each single dish! 20/10 for the chef and the food! However, the service was very slow when I visited at the night time during weekend. First of all, there was a line up about 40min. And after that, we waited for almost an hour to have our order placed and first dish came on the table. Then it was more waiting time for the following dishes… By that time, we were starving and ate like a pig whenever one dish was served. 😅😟 I would recommend not going on the weekend night or go as early as possible. And do not go if you are starving👌🏼
