We are a senior West Island couple who go out for dinner occasionally. This was our first visit to Manago on St. Charles & we were so pleased to have found it! We had gone there hankering for wood baked pizza which was excellent - so fresh, tender & flavourful. The lentil soup & calamari were also really good as was the house red wine. Our waiter was the most cheerful server we have met in years. & the other patrons came in families & groups. Everyone in the filled up restaurant was smiling & chatting - on a Wednesday school & work night in April! We can highly recommend this authentic Italian eatery & we'll be back!

For our 5-year anniversary, we started with the fried calamari; it was good, but I've had better elsewhere. The beef carpaccio was delicious & highly recommended, followed by a good veal picatta & a capellini so beautifully done I didn't want it to end. We enjoyed sangria throughout, finishing with tea, coffee, & a crème brûlée that was exactly as expected, if not a bit too predictable. Service & atmosphere were on point, but for the reasons above, it's a solid 4 stars.
The food was excellent- chosen from the Table d'hote. After a tasty entree of pear & goat cheese, we had a delicious combo of mushroom risotto & cod. The sauces were a treat. Our server knew his stuff & was attentive on a very busy evening.

Any our waitress was very sweet, polite & attentive. Everything was delivered to our table hot & the food was delicious. One of my favorite restaurants to dine in.
Way too loud - you can't even hear the people at your table. The food is mediocre at best, & the service was the worse. It took over 30 minutes for someone to come & get our order, they barely came to check on us or add water, & in top of that the waitress brought the check as soon as we finished the main course, without checking if we want dessert or anything else, & without even asking if we want the check.
Very nice ambience. Great menu with a lot of options. Kids friendly. Service & food are great. Very large portion & very reasonable prices. We had very good experience.
We went for a paid dinner provided from our boss, & the staff knew how to take care of it. We were greeted by the best staff.
The food was immaculate, the pasta & pizza were the best thing Ive ever tasted in quite some time, it was pretty great.
It had been a while since Ive been there & Ill definitely order a pizza next time.
shout outs to matt for being a professional, & asking any questions what we had & for being a great host!
Everyone in our party enjoyed their delicious meal. The service was flawless: Our waiter was very patient, had a good sense of humour, & was attentive to details. The quality of the service & the food at Manago never disappoints!
