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. The space can be loud with limited seating, so reservations or bar seating is advisable, but overall the restaurant is celebrated for authentic flavors, consistent quality, and the energetic atmosphere that keeps locals and visitors coming back.
This is a classic Italian restaurant with a very traditional atmosphere. Staff is bilingual, but definitely more french leaning. The pasta I had was okay, although I wish I had tried the antipasti as they looked really good. Definitely would recommend going out of your comfort zone for the food selection, as I don't think the "safer" options are as good.
Arriving pretty late in the evening to a hotel in Griffintown, it was difficult to find a place open for dinner. The Alt concierge said that Mano Cornuto was pretty much the only place still serving - & I'm so glad to have been introduced to this gem. There was a massive storm which shut down the festival happening at Jean-Drapeau, so people started coming in pretty quickly - but we were sat at the counter & given menus immediately. The pasta bolognese was AMAZING, & the wine pairing was bang-on. I think the biggest surprise was when asking for the bill, just how inexpensive everything was. I'd highly recommend getting a counter seat to watch the kitchen in action - it was a great dinner, & I will happily go back.
Un nouveau classique. Plats intéressants, bons, portions raisonnables, excellent service. Bons cocktails & bons mocktails. Finalement un endroit à recommander à Montréal.
Best food I had in my 2 week trip to Montreal. I don't usually like salad but theirs was very good & unique. The carpaccio was some of the best ive ever had. The pesto spaghetti has a lot of flavor, highly recommend!!
Great seasonal food, nice ambiance & service, we had a lovely waitress Emma , made it such a nice experience for us 🤍 we will be back to try more dishes ! Highly recommend the Caesar salad + the prosciutto pasta
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.
Un bijou ce resto! Je recommande fortement de réserver. Le crudo est absolument à essayer, surtout avec une portion de pain. Les photos sont de plusieurs visites différentes!

Such an amazing Italian restaurant. The food is delicious! The service is friendly. The atmosphere is relaxed with an intimate dinning environment with good music. My group had the spaghetti squash & the asparagus entres, the rigatoni main, the tiramisu dessert & espresso. Everything we had was fabulous. Highly recommend.
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)
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.
Notre petite fille de 12 mois a été accueillie comme une reine pour le brunch ce samedi. L'ambiance, le service & la nourriture étaient excellents. C'est bon de se sentir bienvenus même avec un enfant en bas âge. 10/10 would recommend !

Get your reservations in advance, especially for groups of 4+, they are always full because they are amazing! You seriously need to try everything on their menu, it is just delicious & the staff is amazing, atmosphere is very cozy & fun! Recommend to everyone!
Amazing place makes amazing time ! Highly recommended for Burrata Caprese cheese dish. So sooooooooooo good ! Food : excellent! Service: excellent Ambience : between cozy & chic With my lovely companion that night food & everything was perfect!
5 stars. Great experience, every dish was amazing & flavorful. Service was great, they tended to us very timely. & very reasonable prices for exemplary food. Highly recommend.
J'y suis allée au moins 4 fois & je n'ai jamais été déçu. Les produits sont frais & de saison. Tout est fait maison & délicieux. Je recommande vivement ce restaurant que ce soit pour un midi ou un soir, entre amis ou en en amoureux
The service here top notch, waiters are all very friendly! The food is delicious but the bone marrow risotto dish was a little bit underwhelming. I really recommend getting more appetizers such as the burrata & the sea bass. The place is very small & very busy even on Monday’s so be prepared to wait. I do recommend giving this place a try!
