Manago is a long standing West Island Italian spot with a warm, lively vibe and a wood burning oven that delivers pizza and a broad menu of pasta, veal, seafood and more. 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. Many diners enjoy the option to dine in or take out, and celebrations or casual weeknight dinners are common reasons to visit, while a few experiences mention uneven service or dishes not hot or overly salty. 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.
Food was really good. Be sure to ask to have Amy as your server. Extremely please with how Amy took care of us. Everyone enjoyed their evening. Thank you
Lovely restaurant, very good food & service! Patio needs more privacy as it's on a parking lot. Some taller plants to hide the cars etc would improve the experience.

We loved this restaurant! Even though there were no available tables at first, they still managed to accommodate us, which we really appreciated. The service was excellent friendly, kind & welcoming. A special thank you to Andrea for the amazing service! Highly recommended
Always great here but tonight's service from Matthew was over the top, not only was he courteous, attentive & friendly he was engaging & humorous. Matthew is a credit to your business. We will be back, of course!
Great restaurant!
Food quality is very good. Although for lunch menu it is a bit pricey & the pizza is really small to feed the hungry person.
Service is a bit poor too. Not even a glass of tap water was offered.

Hold on tightly to your plate. Why ? Let me tell you why. We have been going to Manago for many many years, & this fact tells you we enjoy it. However, last night, our experience was uniquely bad. We had booked a table of 5 for a little mother's day celebration for my mother in law & wife. We arrived on time for our 5:30 booking, walked into a busy restaurant with the usual atmosphere. We sat down, & within less than 5 mins had been informed twice by our waitress & another girl we had 2 hours before we had to leave. Ok. Why are we being told this twice so quickly ? We ordered our meals & some drinks, & we were enjoying our night. At roughly just before 6:50 (40 mins left before our 7:30 departure time), my mother in law was the last person still eating. The waitress came up to the table & my mother in law was sitting with her fork in her left hand, knife in her right hand & happily chewing on her pizza. The waitress lent over the table, picked up her plate & asked if she wanted it in a box to take home. Stunned by this, my mother in law said ok. It was not ok at all. The waitress left with her still warm pizza sitting silently on the plate & stunned looks on our faces. I am not sure that she would have grabbed my plate like that. Rude is an understatement. Talk about being rushed out the door. It ruined the evening entirely. Plenty of time before we had to even goto the departure lounge (ask for the bill) & very obviously someone (a very friendly paying customer) was still eating their food. I have never in my life experienced this, neither had the other 3 adults at the table. It is one thing to make your customer(s) aware of a time constraint, however firstly telling them twice, & then taking the plate away from a customer clearly still eating (& within the time limits) is something that would in my opinion cause some concern. If this is how we are treated as customers, then the Manago management team need to have a team-huddle to discuss'Is this really the experience our customers want to have when they come here ?'. Oh, the answer is NO. We left, never ever to return. I have all previously recommended Manago to colleagues or friends who have asked for a recommendation in the West Island, & now I personally will be going out of my way to make sure no one goes there as a result of me. Train your staff better.
