Mano Cornuto fonctionne comme un café et une boulangerie italiens modernes axés sur des ingrédients de haute qualité et des techniques traditionnelles. Le menu se concentre sur des sandwichs à la focaccia artisanale mettant en vedette des viandes fraîches et des produits locaux ainsi qu une sélection de plats de pâtes préparés avec précision. Le service expresso constitue la base de la sélection de boissons, utilisant des grains haut de gamme pour des préparations italiennes classiques. L esthétique intérieure reflète une approche utilitaire avec des éléments industriels, des lignes épurées et une disposition ouverte qui privilégie la fonctionnalité communautaire. La clientèle découvre un environnement culinaire ciblé où la préparation de la pâte et des ingrédients de saison demeure centrale. Cet établissement maintient un engagement envers les recettes authentiques, garantissant que chaque plat démontre une constance rigoureuse dans les saveurs.
Mano Cornuto est largement reconnu comme une destination incontournable pour la cuisine italienne à Montréal, salué pour ses ingrédients frais, ses pâtes faites maison et son atmosphère vibrante. De nombreux visiteurs qualifient leur expérience de magique, soulignant particulièrement la salade César, la burrata à la pistache et les authentiques plats de pâtes. Bien que l'ambiance soit constamment décrite comme animée, accueillante et élégante, les avis sur le service et la taille des portions sont parfois partagés, certains clients notant que le restaurant peut devenir très bruyant et achalandé. Malgré des signalements occasionnels de temps d'attente ou d'un service inégal lors des heures de pointe, la majorité de la clientèle recommande vivement cet établissement pour sa qualité, sa constance et son équipe professionnelle, ce qui en fait une adresse prisée tant par les résidents que par les visiteurs.
We stumbled upon this gem by accident & it was the best experience. Michelle was our server & she was warm, welcoming & friendly. The food was incredible. We had 2 sandwiches & Cesar salad. The salad was the best I've ever had. We had the chocolate cake for dessert & it was incredible. Not too sweet & simply delicious. We sat at the bar so got to watch everyone at work & it was fascinating. Adam is one of the chefs & he (& Michelle) gave us some awesome recommendations of places to check out while we are visiting. It was a fantastic experience & we will be back every time we visit Montreal. If ur thinking about trying this place…do yourself a favour & do it!
The entrance service was excellent; we were warmly welcomed, which was the best part of the experience. The waitress was kind, but things took a turn when she insisted that we order food if we wanted to stay. The plate we ordered was a disappointment-it consisted of no more than three pieces of prosciutto, four slices of pepperoni, & four olives drenched in oil & pepper. While the mozzarella was admittedly good, the dish was grossly overpriced for what it offered. The cocktails were well-made, & the service remained polite, but it became clear that the staff was under pressure to push us to order food. The justification given, "we are not a bar but a restaurant-bar," felt misplaced, especially since we were seated at the counter, directly in front of an oven & a staff member washing dishes. This left us with a very disappointing experience. The initial cocktail set high expectations, & we might have given 5 stars had the rest of the visit lived up to that start. Unfortunately, it didn't.
Food is amazing but something about the service is very disappointing every time. Being seated at a cramped bar with no room to move my arms & use utensils (I mentioned it & nothing was done), no waiter checking in or filling water the entire time, next course coming without previous plates being cleared, at some point the restaurant was filled with smoke & no one opened the doors to clear it quickly. It's also very loud every time I go, not sure if that's part of the atmosphere or if I've been unlucky. I don't understand why each time I have to leave feeling like the guest I brought with me feels disappointed.

First time at Mano Cornuto. Had a great beef carpaccio for appi with focaccia, followed by pesto pasta for me & mushroom pasta for my wife. We sat at the bar & enjoyed watching the staff work & chefs prepare meals. Would strongly recommend.
We had a seat at the bar, which was a great spot since we got to see the team in action. They have a great variety of cocktails, wine & the food - incredible. We had the burrata, the pesto spaghetti, the Zucca & hanger steak w/chick peas. Everything was delicious. Highly recommend!
Went in for drinks & was delightfully surprised at the friendly service, kitchen/bar & atmosphere. Snacked on the crudo off the late night menu & had cocktails made to order. Going back for dinner 100%
Limited seating makes reservations a good idea. The vibe leans more to a bar feel, & it is a little noisy. Wide selection of drinks. The food is excellent. I had the mushroom fettuccine, & my companion had the spaghetti bolognese. The staff is bilingual, & the service is very good. I will return anytime I am in town.
Wife & I ate at the bar. Service was great, food was amazing, & they played my hip hop beats. We will be back next time we visit Montreal & also try the cafe next door.
Absolutely insane food. Everything was so good, service was fast, & I loved the open kitchen concept by the bar so you can watch the chefs cook! The menu is just right-not too many options so as to be overwhelmed, but every dish had its own spin, be it a unique pasta shape or an unexpected flavor profile. We had the burrata with focaccia (10/10), the bolognese, & one of the pesto pasta dishes. The dessert menu was excellent as well, which is not always the case for dinner establishments-we thoroughly enjoyed the pistachio coffee cake & tiramisu with a bit of an orange zest kick. Servers were prompt & friendly.
Restaurant was mediocre. Apparently all tables only by reservations, however it wasn't that full on a Saturday night & we got seated at the bar. Had antipasti, olives, Caesar salad, swordfish & pesto pasta. Sitting on the bar allowed us to see how the food was cooked & at some point I wish I didn't see it. There was 0 passion in the cooking, food was pretty much tossed around, hands were going in all kinds of containers even the ones that had spoons in them, honestly it was awful to witness. Everything is basically showered in olive oil. Olives were dry & old. Caesar salad didn't have Caesar sauce, it didn't taste like Caesar sauce at all. Swordfish for $36 wasn't fresh & cooked questionably. The pesto pasta was alright, nothing phenomenal. (I'm surprised the reviews are so amazing) The servers were nice though. All around the food was nothing special, the vibe was nice to suggest it's a good restaurant, however after seeing how the food was prepared & tasting it, I can't even give 3 stars.
