Review Summary

Mano Cornuto is frequently celebrated as a premier Italian destination in Montreal, praised for its authentic, high-quality cuisine and vibrant atmosphere. Many visitors highlight the Caesar salad, pistachio burrata, and fresh pasta as standout menu items, while the sandwiches and tiramisu also receive consistent acclaim. Although the restaurant is highly regarded for its delicious food and welcoming, energetic vibe, some guests note that the space can become quite loud and crowded. Experiences with service vary; while many patrons enjoy attentive and knowledgeable care, others have reported inconsistent service or long wait times during peak hours. Reservations are strongly recommended due to the restaurant's popularity, as seating is limited and often fills up quickly. Overall, the establishment is widely considered a local gem that offers a memorable dining experience, making it a regular choice for both casual lunches and special dinners.

Restaurant was mediocre. Apparently all tables only by reservations, however it wasn't that full on a Saturday night & we got seated at the bar. Had antipasti, olives, Caesar salad, swordfish & pesto pasta. Sitting on the bar allowed us to see how the food was cooked & at some point I wish I didn't see it. There was 0 passion in the cooking, food was pretty much tossed around, hands were going in all kinds of containers even the ones that had spoons in them, honestly it was awful to witness. Everything is basically showered in olive oil. Olives were dry & old. Caesar salad didn't have Caesar sauce, it didn't taste like Caesar sauce at all. Swordfish for $36 wasn't fresh & cooked questionably. The pesto pasta was alright, nothing phenomenal. (I'm surprised the reviews are so amazing) The servers were nice though. All around the food was nothing special, the vibe was nice to suggest it's a good restaurant, however after seeing how the food was prepared & tasting it, I can't even give 3 stars.

I'm stupid picky about Italian food, having lived in Rome. But Mano Cornuto is the real deal - absolutely exquisite. & they serve up what may be the best Caesar salad ever made. Wish I could give more than five stars.

DELICIOUS little Italian restaurant. We were sat at the bar section & ordered a few plates to share. SO much flavour & such quality ingredients in each plate! I highly recommend reserving a table in advance as its small & gets packed really quick MUST order the piatto antipasto charcuterie board & their burrata (forgot to take a photo unfortunately). Their Caesar salad is so unique but a tad sweet for my liking, & finally the tonnarelli al pesto, so much great flavour for such a simple dish. We ended our meal with a delicious cappuccino & a heavenly lemon cheesecake (their dessert options change often I believe)

i want to hate this place because the servers treat you like you just skinned their cat unless you buy a bottle of wine, but i will not stop going back. its insanely delicious every time. the special only hits about 50% of the time so be careful. GET THE CAESAR & THE CHOCOLATE CAKE. avoid the tuna. i keep 2-3 res booked here at all times. sue me

I just wanna say that Emma who runs the front of the house does the job I wish was done in all establishments. It's bubbly & fun but serious & effective. It's a perfect balance & she's the type of person I can see being scooped up by some better offer. Thanks for always making me feel welcome ! Obsessed with the crudo & Caesar! Merci
