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.
I've been here multiple times it is so reliable & always fresh with their protein, pasta, & bread. I just wish they're more up to date with their social media so I know what their specials are & how long they will be available so I don't miss any of it! I love the frito misto.
It's too hot in there, & there is no ice for the water... I almost feel bad for the cooks/staff in there. I would've loved to stay longer, buy more drinks & ultimately leave a bigger tip & support the friendly staff. But my friends & I were all just so sweaty you could see the sweat on our heads.
Attentive staff & Italian fare in a laid back setting this place is great. Caught up with an old friend over some shared plates & had a wonderful time. Service impeccable & food was top motch. Highly reccomend.
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.
Just ate with my boss! Had a good time! Food was amazing! I have to say the service was a little slow waitress forgot twice our beers, she was still very nice! Other than that it was a nice vibe & experience! 5 ⭐️ well def come back :)

Great spot with a lively atmosphere! If you're aiming for an outdoor seat, be prepared to wait at least 15 minutes longer than the estimated time-but you can enjoy a drink while you wait! The pasta is incredible, the drinks are creative & fun, & the best part? They welcome dogs on the patio!
Idk how many times i came here, or the amount of friends & family i brought in. the best italian restaurant in town, service is top notch!!! Must become a michelin star !!!
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.

Première fois mais pas la dernière, un service plus qu'impécable d'Adèle, agréable, conviviale, nourriture délicieuse préparée avec des aliments frais & de bon goût, personel accueillant & on se sent plus comme un invité qu'un client tellement tout le monde est sympathique. Une belle découverte & un excellent resto pour célébrer ma fête ou pour profiter de la belle terrasse. Merci encore à Adèle pour son excellent service !
Starter was very good (focaccia with burrata & tomatoes) but mains were not great. It was a bit expensive for what you got & annoyingly, there were a lot of flies in the restaurant.
Wife & I ate at the bar. Service was great, food was amazing, & they played my hip hop beats. We will be back next time we visit Montreal & also try the cafe next door.
Absolutely insane food. Everything was so good, service was fast, & I loved the open kitchen concept by the bar so you can watch the chefs cook! The menu is just right-not too many options so as to be overwhelmed, but every dish had its own spin, be it a unique pasta shape or an unexpected flavor profile. We had the burrata with focaccia (10/10), the bolognese, & one of the pesto pasta dishes. The dessert menu was excellent as well, which is not always the case for dinner establishments-we thoroughly enjoyed the pistachio coffee cake & tiramisu with a bit of an orange zest kick. Servers were prompt & friendly.
We came here for a friend's birthday. There can be no complaints about the service, our waiter (Jack) had good intuition about what we wanted & was very pleasant to chat with. The yellow melon pavlova with the mint bits was absolutely to die for- it needs to be a permanent fixture on the menu!
