Food was excellent. We didn't have a reservation, so our only choice was the bar & as the barmaid was serving the dining room & the bar, service was a bit slow, including getting refills for water, but otherwise was a good experience.
Let me share a little secret that most West Islanders know, but many others on the island haven't discovered: Resto Vieux Four Manago, an Italian restaurant on St. Charles in Kirkland, is our hidden gem. When my kids were younger, we used to bring them there for the kids' meal of pasta. For a while, it became our family's go-to spot. You know how kids are-picky eaters with ever-changing tastes-& eventually, they grew tired of pasta. But during that time, my wife & I stuck to one thing we loved: the'frutti di mare' pizza. As the name suggests, it's a seafood-inspired pizza, topped with shrimp, scallops, crab, & a rich seasoned tomato sauce to bring it all together.
Though the restaurant was a favorite, life & changing preferences led us away from it for several years. But Vieux Four Manago has always remained a family-driven place, with a welcoming ambiance, soft background music, & a bar area where you can catch a game if you're into sports. It's the kind of place that's perfect for celebrating life's milestones, from birthdays to anniversaries, or any event where you want to be surrounded by loved ones. The restaurant's heart has always been its family atmosphere, & the staff make you feel right at home, like part of their own family.
Now that our kids are much older, they still haven't developed the same love for pasta, but recently, my wife & I decided to take a nostalgic trip back to Vieux Four Manago & order our old favorite, the'frutti di mare' pizza. It felt like we were stepping back in time-the wood-fired brick oven was still there, tirelessly producing pizzas for both dine-in patrons & takeout orders. When our pizza finally arrived, it was just as we remembered it. The toppings were perfectly browned, exactly how I've always liked them, & the crust was golden, light, & deliciously crispy. We added a drizzle of chili oil with just the right amount of heat, giving each bite a subtle extra kick. As soon as I took that first bite, a flood of memories came rushing back. It tasted every bit as wonderful as it did in the past, reminding us of all the good times we'd shared at this spot.
Can you believe it? Resto Vieux Four Manago boasts an incredible selection with over 27 different pizzas & 16 pasta dishes! Whether you're craving a classic like Margherita or feeling adventurous & want to try something bold, there's a pizza to satisfy every taste. The variety is impressive, with something to suit everyone's preferences, all crafted with that signature, old-fashioned flavor that instantly makes you feel at home. From traditional favorites like pepperoni & mozzarella to more inventive combinations, this place has every pizza lover's dream covered. Plus, their menu offers a wide range of meals with chicken, beef, & seafood to satisfy all appetites beyond just pizza. With their focus on pizza & pasta, there's truly something for everyone, & the options fit various budgets, ensuring an excellent meal for every occasion. Whether you're dining in or taking out, they're sure to hit the mark!
If you're looking to dine out & enjoy a quiet evening, the atmosphere at Vieux Four Manago is refreshingly serene compared to many other restaurants. It's not too loud, allowing you to relax & let the background fade away. My wife & I had a wonderful evening there. With delicious food in my belly & mature love in the air, it was the perfect recipe for a satisfying end to the night. The digital candlelight setup created an intimate & romantic setting, with the soft glow of the virtual candles adding a warm touch to the experience. Light, soothing music played gently in the background, enhancing the mood without overwhelming the conversation.
If you haven't been, or if you're looking for a cozy, family-friendly restaurant, Resto Vieux Four Manago is that special, under-the-radar place that you'll fall in love with. It's our little secret, & one we're happy to keep going back to. @mtlrestorap

We went for our work Noel dinner, a total of 11 person... arrived at 6,25pm, the order was taken just after half hour later, & drinks came 15 min after.
Have to say tha the plastified manu in every seat was placed over the silverware 🍽 & it was kind of grease residue, not a good impression just arrived.
We order then the food, I took the table d'hôte that includes entrance, main, dessert & coffee ☕?.
The place it's indeed a noisy place, could say extra noisy, maybe because of the season time & celebration that already started.
The first dishes started to come 25 min after but my entrance was forgotten & tooked 45 min to arrive, with apologies but really late, however have to say it was really pleasant, & because of that, I was the first main course served at the table, Flank Stake that was 👍 ok.
Right after picked the dishes, the waitres brings right away the coffee, then after, she brings the dessert, was cream brulé, not bad. My wife had the eggplant 🍆 as entrance which I tried & it was exelent, & as main course Raviolis with fruit de mare, also nice dish.
We leave around 9,20-30 pm, so for not too complicated meals it took a while.
There was a seat 💺 right beside me not occupied, but the service was never picked, just a color detail
It's a place that I will recommend only if you have pleeeenty of time & no more than 4 persons at the time to be sure that will have a focused waitres, a positive experience however, the food save the night.
