Mano Cornuto is a laid back Italian restaurant. Fresh ingredients, homemade food, elegant natural wine list, unique cocktails and warm service are what to expect.
Mano Cornuto offers a lively open kitchen Italian vibe with crowd-pleasing staples like Caesar salad, burrata with pistachio, focaccia, and a range of pastas and antipasti praised for fresh ingredients and balanced flavors. Desserts such as tiramisu and pistachio cake frequently get cheers, and the wine and cocktails plus a bar or terrace scene make it a popular Montreal pick. Experiences vary, with some praising warm, attentive service while others note slower, more uneven service and occasional reservation mixups, and a few feel portions are small for the price.

Mano Cornuto in Montreal is a must-visit! The food is top-notch, especially the bolognese & piatto antipasto with focaccia-so good! The vibe is fantastic, making it a great spot to hang out. Be sure to book in advance!

L'ambiance est festive, la terrasse très agréable, le personnel... wow; attentionné, chaleureux, présent & LA BOUFFE!!! incroyablement bon, tout ce qu'on cherche quand on va au resto! Nous étions 3, nous avons partagé une assiette de crudo (bar rayé), une assiette de pâte au pesto & une assiette de burrata avec la focaccia maison, c'était délicieux!
Great food! I found the focaccia to be on the colder side/hard to bite into (unlike what most reviews say!!). Pasta was delicous ! Service could be improved. Felt very rushed/cold. Would definitely give it a second try though!
Mano Cornuto was recommended by a friend of mine, & I'm so thankful that he showed it to me! The place is actually quite unassuming, & I've passed by it multiple times. Who knew I walked past such a great place? The food was absolutely delicious. We "licked our plates clean" with their in-house focaccia & took even the smallest bites home in order to savor the moment just a little bit longer. The staff were friendly & took care of us despite it being close to closing time. The atmosphere was like an elevated outdoor bar. I'm sure this place is very popular in the summer. We unfortunately missed out on their fresh tuna dish this time, but I'm looking forward to coming back in the near future.
It's safer to make a reservation before you go. We went for lunch & was seated right away. It wasn't busy at 11:30am which we really liked. We were sat at the bar coz we were two people. We ordered their famous pistachio burrata & it was fantastic!! Burrata was so moist & soft but a bit chewy as well👍🏼 the artichoke pistachio pesto was amazing too. Focaccia that came with the burrata was really good too. Next, the classico sandwich was delicious too with sweet honey & some cream that was soo goood. Nothing bad about it! It was a great choice. However the basil pesto pasta was a bit of disappointment. My husband liked it but it was too salty or should i say i felt like drinking pickle juice. My tongue felt like covered in vinegar & salt. But it was the lemon in the pesto. I couldnt continue eating more than 3 forks. Last, we got their tiramisu & the lemon jest on top added an excellent taste to the dessert. Loved it! (We were just tooooo full to fully enjoy the tiramisu tho. *sad*) Overall, their oj, macchiato, food, everything was great! Will be back again🩷

Excellent Italian food! Everything was delicious! We ordered the pasta bolognese, pasta puttanesca, braised lamb steak, focaccia, & ceasar salad. The dish to definitely try is there bass fish. The restaurant has a good ambience & the server was really kind & explained the menu to us. I recommend reserving in advance because the restaurant gets full quickly. This was one of the best dinner we had in Montreal.
Went for lunch, had the prosciutto schiacciate. The focaccia was very good, had good texture & was fresh. Their aubergine paste added great flavour. It was overall a well constructed sandwich. It reminds me of sandwich I ate in Milano at All'Antico Vinaio. Service was quick my girl at the counter banged out the cafe latte in a minute or so & it was tasty. Next time I will come back & try the sit down restaurant part of the establishment.
Absolute gem. Have eaten here a few times, but celebrated my brother’s birthday here with family on a Monday night. Great atmosphere. Ordered the focaccia, branzino crudo, pesto bucatini, swordfish, the daily pasta special & pistachio cake. Could not find a fault in any of the dishes, everything we ordered was delicious. Service was impeccable - best in Montreal. Shout out to Michelle & the man that had a clean napkin in my hand before I could reach down & pick up the one that fell off my lap. Will definitely be back.
