Probably the best Caesar salad in Montreal.
The pesto dish was amazing & the food amazing.
The vibes are great, the staff seemed to really enjoy what they were doing
Would definitely come back just for the salad
Had a great casual lunch. Pasta is cooked perfectly. Have the burrata, it's the best I've ever had. Enjoyed a boozy lunch & ate half the menu. We are from out of town & will be making this a regular lunch spot when in the city. Looking forward to summer seating!

Daniel & the Guy server with the Grey Obey shirt were really nice & welcoming . When it was time for dessert & I wanted amaro they took the time to show me all the amaros they had & recommended me some. Overall my girlfriend & I had an amazing night with amazing food. FORZA ROMA
Love the food truly 10/10. The location is great, the Caesar salad is a must, & the branzino never disappoints.
Unfortunately, the service doesn't match the quality of the food. During our visit, an Aperol was spilled on the table & it was wiped with a very damp cloth that only made more of a mess. It took about 15 minutes to receive a coffee & a drink, & around 35 minutes for the food, even though the restaurant wasn't full.
What stands out most is the overall attitude , the staff often seems unfriendly & unapproachable. The food is excellent, but the experience would be so much better with warmer, more attentive service
Every time I come to Montreal to see my partner we come to Mano!
It's that delicious! Guys you think about the food the next day it's that good. Literally everything on the menu is PHENOMENAL

I had a wonderful evening! The food was incredible. Nice, fun vibe & friendly service. We had the pistachio burrata, braised beef & pasta with Italian sausage. It was delicious!
It wasn't that bad, I do hear a lot of people ranting about, & I can understand where they come from with the quality of the food. But I wouldn't say it's something I would want as an every once in a while thing. Maybe special events or little friend gatherings
We had an incredible meal at Manu Cornuto. To start, the Pistachio Burrata was creamy & absolutely to die for. We also ordered the Caesar salad & the ceviche-both were fresh &'wow' worthy.
For mains, we tried the pesto pasta & the bolognese, but the star of the show was the Cream of Squash & Guanciale pasta. It was outstanding
We finished off the night with the Pistachio Tiramisu, which completely blew my mind. If you are looking for high-quality Italian food at a great price, this spot is a must-visit.
I love this place & it's my go to for Italian cuisine. It's a joy to eat at the bar & get to know the fun loving staff. This resto reminds me of'The Big Night' 🎥 because of its authenticity & the horrific food at an unbelievably busy place around the corner… only this resto is wildly successful as well. Chef really has learned to work with what is available to stay true to Italian 🇮🇹 roots (chef is a national).
The Caesar salad is delicious 😋 despite it being an invention of Hollywood… the only'fake' thing on the menu, but that doesn't detract from its desirability. Wines are good but I tend to focus on the negroni 🥃 here… after all I am a believer of'Plastique, c'est chic!'
Un ami m'avait dit ne pas avoir aimé son souper au Mano Cornuto. J'ai voulu me faire mon propre avis !
L'ambiance est super, en revanche c'est la première fois qu'il m'arrive de renvoyer un plat dans un restaurant (les pâtes carbonara). D'ailleurs mon amie, qui avait pris un autre plat (pâtes aux aubergines), a dû le renvoyer aussi tellement c'était salé ! Le serveur était assez sympathique jusqu'à ce qu'on renvoie nos plats. Heureusement qu'ils ne nous ont pas été facturé. Espérons que c'était une exception car finalement j'ai juste mangé un dessert..
Une super bonne adresse pour manger un encas avec du goût & de l'esprit !
La foccacia maison est fabuleusement légère & c'est la base de tous les sandwichs que vous trouverez ici, elle accompagne aussi la divine burrata ! Bref un régal, un moelleux incomparable. & les assaisonnement sont top & originaux.
Vin au verre un peu cher 15$ le verre quand même...
Sinon c'est extra, plein de monde & un service attentionné qui fait qu'on s'y sent bien.
Si j'habitais dans le quartier ce serait vite devenu ma cantine 😄
Dessert impeccable & tres tres bons, on a testé crumbble de coings & tiramisu, les deux étaient extra.
Je recommande vivement l'adresse pour un encas de midi ?est top !
