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.
Tous les plats sont excellents. Quel dommage que le lieu soit aussi peu accueillant! Je n'ai jamais vu un restaurant aussi bruyant. Difficile de parler avec les amis à notre table. & puis nous avons été mis dehors, car il y a un deuxième service. Si nous l'avions su au moment de la réservation, nous aurions dépensé notre argent ailleurs.
Food is good
Wine list is decent
Booking is required. Their walk in veryyyy limited
The parties smaller than 4 are offered only bar seat but its a cool experience
Not much parking available
The pistachio burrata is really something extraordinary, would 100% order again. For the main I had the beef ceviche which seemed slightly too salty for my taste. For dessert, once again the pistachio coffee cake was very delicious.
Will definitely go back again to try the sea bass dish & tiramisu
We had desserts only - they were great! I especially loved the peach crumble. The staff were very friendly. The outdoor patio with the vertical heaters made for an enjoyable setting on a chilly september night.
Très bon restaurant italien !
On est venu à 5 & c'était super bon.
On a pris une buratta avec un pesto de pistache & de la foccacia c'était absolument fabuleux !
J'ai pris le plat de pâte au pesto, c'était très bon aussi.
Par contre je vous conseille de réserver parce qu'il y a souvent beaucoup de monde.
Merci à Camélia pour son service très chaleureux!
On y reviendra
Even though it's hard to find anything to complain about at Mano, it's still difficult not to compre to how it was when it first opened.
Service is a touch slower & isn't as friendly as it was when the owners were still there hanging out, but it's still pretty good. Though there is clear favouritism amongst their friends who come to hang out & who order bottles. The focaccia isn't as fresh & fluffy & ... big as it used to be. The pasta dishes? Slightly smaller than usual & sometimes undercooked these days.
With all that said...I think the bar is still set really high. You will struggle to find similar overall service & value anywhere else.
I tried the fish & ended up ordering it again from how good it was. Also their pistachio cake is really good sweet but not too sweet. The staff were amazing also
