Le Vieux Four Manago earns praise for a welcoming atmosphere and notable Italian dishes, with wood-fired pizza and well-liked pastas frequently highlighted; yet reviews are mixed on value and consistency, as some pizzas arrive with insufficient sauce or lacking the wood-fired flavor while others enjoy a crisp crust and satisfying toppings. The renovations improved the decor but made the room louder and busier, turning some visits into a noisy, cafeteria-like experience despite the friendly service. Service is often described as attentive and genuine, with many staff members delivering warm, professional hospitality, though a few encounters report longer waits or uneven attention during peak times. Prices are often considered high for the portion sizes and the overall experience, leading some guests to feel the value is uneven. Overall, the restaurant remains a popular choice for many who praise the atmosphere, the generous portions when working well, and the consistency of certain dishes, while others warn that pizza quality and noise can detract from the meal.
Accueil chaleureux & service impeccable, un vrai plaisir. La cuisine est délicieuse & les produits de qualité. Nous recommandons vivement ce restaurant.'
An amazing place with warm hospitality, thank you Lydia, & exceptional service! The Italian cuisine was absolutely delicious-authentic flavors, fresh ingredients, & beautifully presented dishes. Every bite felt like a true taste of Italy. The staff were attentive & welcoming, making the experience even more memorable. Highly recommended for anyone who loves great food & outstanding service!
Most of our table was ok with what was ordered, with the tortellini a simple but tasty highlight, but the overall quality of everything was average at best. Heads up for those with a dairy intolerance as we were told the pizza dough is prepared with milk. Appreciate the care around allergies & our attentive waiter, but disappointing (& I'd argue unnecessary given that the pizzas were met with unexciting reviews). Also, the pasta with broccoli & sausage was uninspiring & lacking flavour & finesse, almost as though sausage slices & three blanched broccoli florets were simply tossed into parboiled pasta with a dash of olive oil. Great cozy atmosphere with average prices but unlikely to return.
Décor agréable, mais expérience décevante pour un prix élevé.
Soupe très salée (3/5), pizza Margherita à 30 $ avec une pâte comparable à une pizza congelée Dr. Oetker. En partageant, on nous a fait manger dans des assiettes à pain. Remarque de la serveuse . Il faut demandé pour avoir des assiettes…
Quand nous avons demandé une boîte pour emporter, la serveuse a empilé les morceaux dans un plat de lasagne & l'a carrément jeté sur la table, sans un mot, malgré notre remarque que la table à côté a reçu la pizza dans une boite à pizza .
Qualité moyenne, service discutable . Nous ne reviendrons pas.
Great food, great service! Krystelle was fantastic! She came to see us quite often to make sure everything was ok from our entrées to our dessert. I recommend this restaurant without hesitation & we will be returning. Thanks Krystelle!
Beau grand resto, belle décoration, très bon service & excellente pizza au four à bois. Excellente initiative d'en faire une version 14 po pour partager. Seul hic: seules toilettes au sous-sol après un escalier sombre peu pratique pour des gens âgés ou à mobilité réduite.
Nous allons à ce resto depuis très longtemps. Nourriture très bonne. Ce soir, nous avons trouvé la musique trop forte c'est peut-être la raison que c'était si bruyant les gens doivent parler fort pour s'entendre. Pour les prix les portions sont très petites. Service est correct mais pas wow.
Très jolie le nouveau décor. Le service y est toujours excellent mais nous y allons pour la pizza car pour les pâtes c'est très moyen & les portions pas trop généreuse. Mais la pizza four a bois est très bonne.
Don't go if you don't speak French, especially if you're a brown person.
If I could give negative stars I would give -10 stars out of five. The waiters will look down on you, they will only give you French menus, they will serve you last, they will translate everything with a disdain on their faces. We asked for a coffee & dessert menu & tried to attract the attention of our waitress for 20 minutes to no avail. Once I caught her eye, she nodded, it took her another 10 minutes to come & we ordered the bill. Two French speaker groups that came 10 minutes after us were served significantly more quickly with a smile, & left 10 minutes before us. On the other hand, if you want the authentic cultural experience of Quebec nationalism & how it manifests as racism towards an English speaking brown person, this is your spot.
