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 service here top notch, waiters are all very friendly! The food is delicious but the bone marrow risotto dish was a little bit underwhelming. I really recommend getting more appetizers such as the burrata & the sea bass. The place is very small & very busy even on Monday’s so be prepared to wait. I do recommend giving this place a try!
Good Italian food in Montreal definitely made with love, pasta are delicious 😋, baby octopus lentils was delicious & tiramisu is divine, the music was so loud I couldn’t hear my friends 😬

One unique aspect of this restaurant was that they prepared the pasta right in front of you, which added an interesting touch to the meal. The burrata with pistachios & in a purée of pistachio & artichoke was good; it had a blend of flavors. However, the Campanelle alla Bolognese wasn't anything spectacular & didn't leave a lasting impression but it wasn’t bad by any means.
The ambiance of the restaurant was quite lively, but be prepared for a bit of warmth due to the open cooking area & limited ventilation. It's worth noting that there can be some waiting lines, so making a reservation might be a good idea if you want to give it a try.
I can’t say enough about this place! It’s absolutely an inviting & warm atmosphere filled with great food, service, & atmosphere. There’s not a single thing that you can order on this menu that is not good. The pastas are super fresh. The cocktail drinks are excellent & the wine selection is fantastic.

Lived right next door to this restaurant when I lived in Montreal in 2022. Hands-down one of the best eateries in the city — & it seems that reputation’s well-carried, as it’s often quite busy in the later hours, so best make sure you get there early! Wonderful servers & bartenders, excellent kitchen staff making fresh food in front of your eyes if you’re lucky enough to sit at the bar, delightful outdoor seating during the spring, summer, & early autumn months, & bar-none some of the most delicious Italian fare I’ve had the pleasure of eating. I may be back home in NYC, but god, I miss Mano Cornuto.
Absolute gem. Have eaten here a few times, but celebrated my brother’s birthday here with family on a Monday night. Great atmosphere. Ordered the focaccia, branzino crudo, pesto bucatini, swordfish, the daily pasta special & pistachio cake. Could not find a fault in any of the dishes, everything we ordered was delicious. Service was impeccable - best in Montreal. Shout out to Michelle & the man that had a clean napkin in my hand before I could reach down & pick up the one that fell off my lap. Will definitely be back.

Great vibe in the space. Loved the patio. Mussels were great. Pasta hit the spot & the sword fish was fantastic. The people working there were very nice & they really looked like they enjoy working here.
Amazing service, Jose was just amazing (& so was every other staff member we interacted with tonight). Food was delicious as always as was my drink & my spouse's wine!
Honnêtement j'aurais aimé donner 5/5 car la nourriture est A1 & pour le prix, ça vaut le détour! Par contre, le service... c'est tout simplement mauvais... On se trompe dans les verres, on oublie nos commandes & j'en passe... Le meilleur bout c'est lorsqu'un des serveurs fût condescendant parce que mon amie a dit ne pas aimer le pinot noir... On est ici pour avoir du fun mon gars, pas pour débattre... C'était juste maladroit bref, j'aurais pu me lever de ma chaise & aller servir une table au hasard, je pense que j'aurais mieux fait que le staff actuel.
Great Italian food! Fresh & delicious.
I did find it a bit noisy when I went, & it was hard to get someone's attention. But the food is worth everything! The burrata is a must-have.
