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.
Belle expérience & délicieux plats à partager entre amis! Ma note générale : 9/10. Service: Accueillant, chaleureux & bonnes suggestions de vins ! Plats: Les entrées de Burrata sur purée d'artichauts, le crudo Di Banzino, la salade Caesar (une des meilleures que nous avons goûtés à Montréal) & le focaccia étaient incroyablement délicieuses! Nous n'avons pas eu de propositions de desserts par les serveurs. Dommage. Les verres de cocktails étaient bons.
The food was delicious ! We had the pesto pasta & the panzanella salad. They were made with care & quality ingredients & as result were very fresh & flavorful ! An excellent & welcoming service & ambiance too ! I definitely recommend this gem !

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.
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
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)
Delicious Italian food! Always enjoy visiting here; however, it's hard to get a table & most seating is bar seating. But it's still worth it to grab a quick dinner. The cesear salad & pesto pasta are incredible...
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.

Une endroit de snob de Griffintown. Tu ne peux pas réserver mais l'hôtesse te demande si tu as une réservation à tous les fois & te regarde avec désespoir quand tu dit non. La nourriture est excellente. J'ai pris les pâtes avec sauce bolognese, qui parais basic mais quand c'est bien fait, wow. & Mano Cornuto à mis la barre haute. Mon ami à pris une salade césar qui est énorme btw, mais trop bonne. Les serveurs sont très qualifiés, explique leur spécial de façon que tu as envie de l'essayer. Super cocktail. Mais vas s'y dans l'idée que tu vas être énerver pas les hôtesses qui t'accueille vraiment mal.
