Reviews praise fresh, flavorful wood fired pizza, well prepared pastas and sauces, with many diners noting generous portions and good value. The service is often described as friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere as welcoming and family friendly, though some nights can be very busy and loud, leading to slower service or a less attentive experience.

Overall, Manago is seen as a dependable, authentic Italian choice on the West Island with consistent food quality and a setting that encourages memorable meals.
I always make my reservations on line. Your system is great, never any problems. I appreciate that. The entrance was chaotic with many people stuck together, waitstaff trying go to get through the crowd for the terrace. They could really use a door through the lower section out to the terrace .
Le meilleur endroit que ca soit pour un dîner d'affaires, un repas en amoureux ou en famille. Il y a du choix pour tous & le service est toujours excellent & adapté à la situation.
Have eaten here many times. This time in particular, the service was so excellent. We had an experienced, friendly, patient & helpful waiter. The food was good as always. Reason for 3 starts is that upon arriving to the restaurant, I went to the washroom to'freshen up'. There was no soap. I reported this immediately to 2 staff members & was told it would be taken care of right away. A couple hours later, before leaving, I returned to use the washroom. Still no soap. That kind of left me with an'ick' feeling. I imagine the staff use this washroom also. Ewwww!
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!
Went to Le Vieux Four Manago in Kirkland & really enjoyed it. The pizza was solid, nice crust, good sauce, & generous toppings. Everything tasted fresh & well made.
The place has a relaxed vibe & the service was friendly.
They master Italian meals, wether it is the taste, the presentation or the diversity in the meals, it is all wonderful.
The pizzas are fresh, crispy & thin, which is very good compared to those thick ones that are basically just filling bread.

Everything was excellent & we were not rushed out in spite of the restaurant being quite busy. Pizza was delicious - the pizza oven in dining room makes all the difference!!
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.
