We were a party of 6 & we got a table by the window as per my request. The restaurant was packed yet the waitress cheerfully took a picture of our group

Very disappointing experience. We are frequent customers but today's lunch was surprisingly bad all around. The cream of vegetable was only a very liquid tomato soup. The bread was overly baked & very dry. The second basket of bread was not any better, almost burnt. The classic salmon ended up being a sliver of salmon barely an inch wide, flaky, & dry because it was overcooked. The waitress turned around & disappeared as soon as she had dropped the soup in front of me. No offer of ground pepper. No offer of dessert after the meal. Not an attentive service at all.
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.
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 .
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.
