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.
The food at Mano Cornuto was absolutely amazing, but our experience was significantly marred by the service. Our waitress, Jenna, was incredibly dry & lacked any warmth. A smile wouldn't hurt anyone, & while I understand that people can be tired, it was disappointing to see that other tables received friendly & attentive service while we did not. There was nothing wrong on our part to warrant such treatment. Given the prices, I expected a much higher level of customer service. This experience left a sour taste in an otherwise delightful meal.

I've had two different kinds of sandwiches which are good, but it freaks me out when I see all the flies that are thriving inside the place... Pasta is good but nothing crazy, there are better options out there. Coffee is really good.
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.
Wow! The food. The service. The ambiance. 10/10. Laurent is the ABSOLUTE best!!! Look at the effort put in to taking our group photo!! Exquisite experience. Can't wait to come back over & over again! Thank you Mano team. #nonotes
Un nouveau classique. Plats intéressants, bons, portions raisonnables, excellent service. Bons cocktails & bons mocktails. Finalement un endroit à recommander à Montréal.

Simple food made delicious. You can taste the freshness in every dish. They do have a small menu but all the plates were excelent. The chocolate hazelnut cake is an absolute must. Best dessert I've ever had.
A super cool little place & it makes me proud that Canada has chill places like this. It's somewhere you go if you're a cool hip guy. Will definitely go back because I'm a cool person even though the raw scallops were inedibly off. Amazing pistachio cake.
Je me faisais une joie de découvrir ce restaurant. Malgré notre réservation la table n était pas disponible, je peux comprendre. Le serveur c est trompé dans la commande apporté un plat non commandé & oublier un autre j ai eu mes pâtes alors que mes amis avait terminés. J ai peux être été mal chanceux. Le serveur ne semblait pas bien nous comprendre, très dommage.
Wow quelle belle expérience! La nourriture était excellente & le service de Jack était impeccable. Il était très chaleureux, attentif & disponible. Nous allons revenir!
Wonderful local spot. We walked in & really felt like we were in a trattoria in Italy. The food is a perfect balance between home style cooking & refined flavours. We loved every dish we ordered. Easily one of the best Italian restaurants we've been to in Montreal.
