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.
Big fan of this store! A friend of mine recommended this since I'm fond of Italian dish, & I had never been so satisfied with food. Every dish tastes unique & characteristic
The service was ok. The pesto pasta was delicious in flavor but arrived tepid; when reheated with added water, it came back warmer but unfortunately diluted. The cocktail was very good. The Caesar salad was excellent.
As a walk-in, I was seated at the bar behind a cement column - the last spot available. I asked to wait for a table at the bar but wasn't offered this option, which would have made the experience more enjoyable.
Overall, the restaurant has a lot of potential, & while this visit could have been better, I'll give it another try.
Literally cannot describe the quality of this food. It is unreal. The focaccia is epic. Always enjoy the crudo & caesar salad. Everything is delicious!!
Very welcoming servers & great dishes. Live right at the corner, made multiple visits & always had to wait. It's wiser to make a reservation no matter when you visit this place.
Ask the server for wine pairing & you won't regret it!
Second time here, unfortunately my first time was better food wise. I wasn't blown away by any of my choices today should have stuck to the bolognese! The service however was impeccable. Our server was very nice, she new her menu was very accommodating my water was never left empty. I also loved that they didn't rush us once our meal was done, thank you.
Je connaissais déjà leurs sandwichs à tomber par terre, mais là, j'ai découvert le restaurant de soir, qui nous a bluffé.
Les campanelle aux courgettes & le poulpe ont totalement satisfait nos papilles d'épicuriens & le tiramisu a été le meilleur que j'ai mangé (avec le petit zeste d'orange qui vient équilibrer le tout, c'est une vrai tuerie). Tout ça accompagné d'une très très bonne sélection de vin (ce qui est un réel plaisir de trouver du vin de qualité pour accompagner un tel festin). Bref, nous avons passé un super moment avec une super vue (sur tout Montréal de nuit), servi par une super équipe, avec des supers plats (chapeau à la cuisine). Je recommande à quiconque souhaite passer une belle soirée, car vous ne regretterez aucun centime dépensé.
Exceptional food & service. This is our second time here & we can definitely see what the hype is all about. Beautiful homemade pasta with really crisp, interesting flavours. The burrata is also a highlight.
L attente vaut largement la peine, la nourriture est délicieuse & l atmosphère est agréable. Le personnel est débordé mais le service reste chaleureux & attentionné. Mention spéciale à la très efficace & souriante hôtesse ( cheveux bruns bouclés, lunettes).
Antipasto, salade panzanella, pâtes bolognaise, tout était savoureux! Mon highlight de la soirée fut le gâteau à la pistache, tout simplement divin!!!
***Les tabourets (au comptoir) sont inconfortables, je suggère de demander une table sur la terrasse arrière. Réservation recommandée. ***

We absolutely love their food, it's just so perfect! The burrata, pesto pasta, & the pork shop are our favourites - yum, yum, yum! They also have great wines & cocktails. I just wish they had table seating for couples, not just bar seating.
