Review Summary

Mano Cornuto draws praise for authentic Italian cooking, a lively open kitchen, and fresh ingredients, with standout burrata and pistachio combinations, a crisp Caesar salad, excellent focaccia, and well executed pastas such as pesto pasta and mafaldine al pesto, plus praised desserts like pistachio tiramisu; the wine and cocktails are well received, though some note high prices and occasionally small portions; service is often described as friendly and attentive, but busy nights can feel rushed or uneven; reservations are advised due to demand, and the vibe ranges from casual bar dining to intimate seating; overall reviews depict a top Montreal pick for Italian dining, delivering memorable flavors and a strong sense of authenticity, with room for occasional inconsistencies.

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

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 !

This was going to be my very first ever one star review but the service & service recovery earned it a second star. We had high expectations from google reviews but everything fell apart after the appetizers & our Christmas dinner was sadly ruined.

All three pastas were beyond disappointing. As an aubergine lover, I went straight for the Rigatoni alla Norma ($27) but after the first excited taste then a second suspicious taste, I was immediately certain that I wasn't going to have a third bite. The sauce was bland, basically canned tomato paste, & the cubed aubergine stew was overcooked, uninviting & had a hint of staleness.

We had encouraged our guest of honour to order the day's pasta special - Linguini Carbonara ($27) because well who can spoil carbonara. Sadly, it was ruined. The chef had charred the pancetta to such an incredibly sad state that its bitterness had infused into the oil. Attempting but failing to create a sense of richness, this same bitter, pungent oil was poured over the linguini as its base sauce (with hardly a hint of egg), creating a dish of intensely bitter simply inedible pasta. I looked back to see if it was a mistake arising from a busy kitchen but it wasn't busy so this big mistake was to me not evidently unintentional.

The Fiorentini alla Bolognese ($25) was the best of all three pastas. It was at this juncture that my friend stopped me & said'it's not the best, it's just the least bad of them three'. Enough said. & as the host of this Christmas dinner, my evening came crashing down.

Despite the above, as I had previously mentioned, the service was faultless. Drinks were topped up quickly; the waitress was amiable, efficient & made us feel right at home despite the very loud music. Without our asking, she also apologetically removed two basically untouched pastas from our bill & comp'd our espressos. None of this was her fault so she was ultimately rewarded with a 50% gratuity on a $140 bill.

My final thoughts. Disappointment with a capital D. Prices are high for what this place is but these are all stated on the menu so it's fair game for all. Make sure to ask for prices of the daily specials though as those are not stated anywhere otherwise you may be rudely surprised by the $150 beef special of the day.

If you were to drop by for a simple evening of light drinks & appetizers to share, I would say that Mano Cornuto could be a happy choice as the Caesar Salad ($17), Piatto Antipasto ($17) & Burrata ($20) were delightful. But sadly that's where it ends. The kitchen seems to be good at putting ingredients together (ie. plating appetizers) but anything that requires cooking & true culinary skill, it fails at miserably, well at least for that evening, at our table.

Food is phenomenal, servers are friendly but it's crazy when they charged 3$ for some drip of olive oil?!? Usually in other Italian restaurants the dip will go with the foccacia but here you have to ask for it & no one said it is not free. My dinner ended up quite not so happy because of this.
