A Mano serves a curated selection of Italian culinary traditions focused on the preparation of handmade pastas and authentic hearth-baked pizzas. The menu features classic techniques where elasticity and texture define every strand of noodle, while the thin-crust pies prioritize high-quality flour and regional toppings for a balanced flavor profile. Diners encounter a space defined by the scent of woodsmoke and the visible craft of dough manipulation at the preparation station. Sauce profiles rely on concentrated tomato bases and fresh herbs that provide depth without unnecessary complexity. This establishment prioritizes consistent results through rigid adherence to traditional recipes that emphasize the integrity of raw ingredients. The environment functions as a functional tribute to Mediterranean kitchen culture where utility and taste intersect for a streamlined approach to regional Italian staples.
A Mano is widely celebrated as a standout dining destination in Mont Tremblant, frequently praised for its authentic, high-quality Italian cuisine and vibrant atmosphere. Guests consistently highlight the wood-fired pizzas, which feature light, fresh dough and flavorful toppings, as well as the variety of homemade pasta dishes. While the majority of visitors report exceptional, attentive service from professional staff members, a small number of diners noted inconsistencies in meal temperature, portion sizes, or communication. Despite varying opinions on pricing and volume levels, the restaurant remains a favorite for many returning patrons who value the passionate service, cozy terrace, and overall culinary experience.
$21 for a cold pizza that was sitting under a heat lamp for who knows how long. Waiter walked over with our pizza 90 seconds after we ordered it & absolutely insisted it just came out of the oven. Cold crust & congealed cheese. All the right ingredients, ruined by bad service.
We ordered the pizza & the crust was very soft & delicious. We really enjoyed the pizza. The only downside is it was a cool evening & the doors keep opening & closing to serve people who are brave enough & dressed for sitting outside so we got a little chilled.

Amazing food. Ended up going two times to enjoy the pizza. It honestly was the closest to eating pizza from Italy. The crust is amazing. The burrata was extremely flavourful, farm fresh tomatoes, so delicious.
So nice to have a restaurant at Tremblant that doesn't just sell burgers & fries.
An outstanding dining experience! The pizza was absolutely delicious, perfectly baked crust, fresh & flavorful toppings, truly a treat. The service was just as impressive: warm, attentive, & efficient. You can tell the team is passionate about what they do. Definitely a place worth recommending. I'll gladly come back!
We had a late dinner & sat outside on the patio. It's a large restaurant with plenty of seating outside. Service was meh - seemed as if they needed another server because ours was busy with a lot of tables. Pizzas were delicious with crispy crust. Pasta was overcooked & a bit burned on the bottom.
This place is a tourist trap . We were a group of 7 for dinner the kids wanted pasta & pizza so we came here. As a fan of pizza & pasta myself having eaten in many excellent Italian restos I can say objectively that A Mano is probably one of the worst & here's why 1) the portion of pasta was flat out insulting considering the high cost. Now I understand that haute cuisine doesn't focus on quantity, rather quality is the aim. Well, the quality was that comparable to chef boyardee & I'm not even kidding. We ordered plain old spaghetti Bolognese with meatballs. The tomato sauce tasted like it came out of a can & the meatballs were very salty & I like salt. Not to mention they were very firm not like the spaghetti noodles which were the furthest thing from al dente.They tasted gummy... First time experiencing that. Nuf said about the pasta. 2) The lamb was poorly cooked the person who ate it ended up with a nice big raw piece of garlic in her mouth which tells me one thing. There was no marination of the lamb prior to cooking it. The garlic was thrown in ( raw) as an attempt to flavor the meat. Attempt failed. 3)The pizzas were okay. Not great, not particularly good either. The teens enjoyed the pepperoni & cheese pizzas they had. Fair enough 4)The adults had the americana I believe. They barely had enough sauce on them & the toppings were scarce. The crust was good but again over 30$ a pizza, you need to do better. A lot better. 5) the Ceasar salad was kinda mushy. Lettuce was on the soft side & had way too much dressing on it. Instead the focus was a piece of grilled lemon on the side , an attempt at art... But this resto staple which can be so easily executed failed miserably Our waiter was ok, nothing less nothing more. I don't recall him returning to the table after a few bites to ask us how we were enjoying our food . In the end we left the place feeling like a bunch of suckers who just got duped. I don't mind paying for food but this was painful I honestly don't get why there are many good reviews. Next time we go to tremblant we will pack our lunch.
I never post reviews, yet I felt I should on this one. We have been coming up to tremblant multiple times a year for over 20 years. We have always had a hard time finding quality food with great service. A Mano was great food, well priced & excellent service, David thank you! Give this place a try, you won't be disappointed. For reference we had the pizza - the crust omg!, arancini, calamari, & salad. Do it!
Overall, it was well run & good food. I went in around 6:30, it was busy but they took our name & gave us an accurate estimate on the waiting time, we didn't have to wait at the restaurant. We went back after the estimated 45 minutes wait. We ordered calamari & the Americana pizza for appetizer; risotto & fusili genovese for our mains. The pizza was the star of the dinner, it was tasty, great flavours & good crust. The service was good too, considering how busy they were. The food & drinks came at a good pace. The waiter came to our table a few times to fill our water & check on us. This is much better compared to previous day's disappointing service at La Forge.
