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.
Food was delicious & the service was wonderful.... Only downside was the lack of air conditioning because it made us feel restless throughout our meal & a bit uncomfortable. I would definitely go back but on a cool day.
It's the 4th time I go but unfortunately every time I like it less. The pesto pasta is inconsistent. Last time, I wouldn't call it al dente it was uncooked. The waitresses were clogged up at the station on the terasse bashing the different clients right next to us it was so unprofessional. What shocked us: After our waitress left us the dessert menu we were discussing between ourselves for a few minutes what desserts we would like & she came out of the blue & rudely told us that nothing bad will happen to us whether we order one or another & that it wouldn't cause the end of the world. It wasn't nice & we felt bad...& we were nice to her all through our supper!
My partner & I had five dishes here-- three starters, a pasta, & a meat/main. The starters were really nice, including a carpaccio that was really wonderful. The meal went downhill with pasta that was undercooked (not al dente, but taken from the water before it was done) & with prosciutto that tasted like fish. The sausage dish we had tasted rotten to my partner & she could not eat it. I thought it was OK, but not interesting. Beans that came with it were undercooked. Cocktails were very good. Service was friendly, but I do not believe there is a table in this place where you will not be spending a bunch of time with some server's backside.
Very good spot & a very delicious menu we tried everything & let me tell u something we go there more then twice a week One normal comment for u guys will need to work more on that customer courtesy & it will be perfect!

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!
Thomas & Adam made our night! We were sat right in front of the dessert bar, got to enjoy the views of food being prepped & made. The manager was also very friendly. Overall the food & the atmosphere was impeccable! Definitely get the bolognese or pesto pasta!
We had the Burrata & the Spaghetti al Pesto & the Curdo di Branzino; I loved the Branzino & really enjoyed the Burrata, the pasta was a little sour for me tho. My partner however loooved the pasta as he has a "sour tooth", but we both agreed that the Branzino is a must try! Oh & the olives were really delicious too! The tiramisu was also decent, & the drinks were good
