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.
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.
Mano Cornuto is an Italian haven! Their in-house fresh pasta is simply exceptional, embodying the rich, delicious flavors of Italy in every bite. The moment you step in, you're greeted by a warm, rustic atmosphere that perfectly complements the dishes. The pasta is perfectly cooked, with sauces that are incredibly rich & flavorful. From classic marinara to unique regional specialties, each dish tells a story of tradition & passion. The staff is attentive & friendly, making it a thoroughly delightful dining experience. If you're searching for authentic Italian cuisine, this is the place to go!
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.
It's safer to make a reservation before you go. We went for lunch & was seated right away. It wasn't busy at 11:30am which we really liked. We were sat at the bar coz we were two people. We ordered their famous pistachio burrata & it was fantastic!! Burrata was so moist & soft but a bit chewy as well👍🏼 the artichoke pistachio pesto was amazing too. Focaccia that came with the burrata was really good too. Next, the classico sandwich was delicious too with sweet honey & some cream that was soo goood. Nothing bad about it! It was a great choice. However the basil pesto pasta was a bit of disappointment. My husband liked it but it was too salty or should i say i felt like drinking pickle juice. My tongue felt like covered in vinegar & salt. But it was the lemon in the pesto. I couldnt continue eating more than 3 forks. Last, we got their tiramisu & the lemon jest on top added an excellent taste to the dessert. Loved it! (We were just tooooo full to fully enjoy the tiramisu tho. *sad*) Overall, their oj, macchiato, food, everything was great! Will be back again🩷

I went to Mano Cornuto for lunch the other day & ordered a Carbonara & a Tiramisu. The Tiramisu was fresh & amazing. The Carbonara was a bit on the small side. Great ambiance & decor.
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...

I had the burrata & the fish as an entree which were very good. Their pesto tastes incredible. However, it took so long for the burrata to come. We were told that we only had one hour & a half at our table, & the entrees itself took nearly 30 minutes to come. I had the pesto spaghetti, but I fear it was undercooked. It was hard to chew & it was just unpleasant. Also the pasta took quite a while to come - I would have expected it to be properly cooked. Along with a cocktail, I was left with a bill of 52$.
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.

Amazing service! They really went above & beyond when we had an unfortunate incident involving one of our meals. Couldn't be happier with how they handled it!
Went for lunch, had the prosciutto schiacciate. The focaccia was very good, had good texture & was fresh. Their aubergine paste added great flavour. It was overall a well constructed sandwich. It reminds me of sandwich I ate in Milano at All'Antico Vinaio. Service was quick my girl at the counter banged out the cafe latte in a minute or so & it was tasty. Next time I will come back & try the sit down restaurant part of the establishment.
