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.
Overall, reviews describe Mano Cornuto as a standout Italian spot in Montreal with an open kitchen, a lively vibe, and consistently delicious dishes; the menu shines with burrata, a standout Caesar salad, pesto pasta, and well executed mains like crudo and seafood, with many praising fresh ingredients and bold flavors, though some visits note crowded, noisy rooms and service that can feel rushed during peak times; reservations are advised, especially for dining at the bar or on the patio, and the wine and cocktail selection is praised as a nice complement to the food, making Mano Cornuto a go-to pick for Italian comfort and special occasions, even as a few diners felt portions or value could be improved.

I think we may have been lucky to walk in & get a spot without a reservation. This is a busy place, & at times can be quite loud, but it was not an issue for us. Stool seating at a counter/shelf isn't my preference for dinner (maybe for fast food), but you may very well be seated at one unless you make a reservation for a table.
The waiter was helpful to make our selections for drink & dinner. To start, we shared the Caesar salad, which was very good. Then on to the Bolognese pasta for main dish; also very good.
I'd recommend this restaurant for reasonably priced Italian food, & excellent Caesar salad. For dinner, I'd also recommend reservations for a seat at a table for a more comfortable dining experience.

They say the third time's a charm, but unfortunately that wasn't the case here.
On a positive note, our server was excellent-professional, attentive, & truly a gem. She really elevated the experience.
I'm also glad I didn't judge the place too quickly, because my first interaction with the host was quite off-putting. For some reason, he chose to address only one person in our party of two (& not me), which felt odd. He also tried to joke around but couldn't remember his colleagues' names, which made the interaction awkward rather than welcoming.
Overall, a mixed experience-great service at the table, but a confusing & uncomfortable start.
Expérience remarquable chez Manno à Montréal ✨ Les plats sont gastronomiques, à la fois légers & incroyablement savoureux. On y est allés entre amis & l'ambiance a rendu le moment encore ...
Très bon restaurant, mais un peu cher pour ce que c'est à mon avis. Je dois aussi mentionner que la dernière fois que je suis allé les options de pourboires n'étaient pas légales puisque le 15% n'était pas un choix.
Food was delicious, loved the vibes of the restaurant as well.
I really liked their take on the caesar salad. Sandwiches are bomb, even pasta was very tasty.
Would go again & would try their coffee! looks like specialty coffee.
I went to Mano Cornuto & honestly had some of the best food I've tried in Montréal. The service was warm & quick, & you feel very comfortable. Overall, it was a very satisfying experience in terms of atmosphere. From the outside, it might look like a casual spot, but it's truly a destination for great food. I'd recommend it to everyone.
