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.

Cet établissement maintient un engagement envers les recettes authentiques, garantissant que chaque plat démontre une constance rigoureuse dans les saveurs.
Mano Cornuto est fréquemment reconnu comme une destination italienne incontournable à Montréal, saluée pour sa cuisine authentique de haute qualité et son atmosphère vibrante. De nombreux visiteurs soulignent la salade César, la burrata à la pistache et les pâtes fraîches comme des plats phares, tandis que les sandwichs et le tiramisu reçoivent également des éloges constants. Bien que le restaurant soit très apprécié pour sa cuisine délicieuse et son ambiance accueillante et énergique, certains convives notent que l'espace peut devenir assez bruyant et bondé. Les expériences de service varient; si de nombreux clients profitent d'une attention bienveillante et compétente, d'autres ont signalé un service inconstant ou des temps d'attente prolongés durant les heures de pointe. Il est fortement conseillé de réserver en raison de la popularité du restaurant, car les places sont limitées et se remplissent rapidement. Dans l'ensemble, l'établissement est largement considéré comme un joyau local offrant une expérience culinaire mémorable, ce qui en fait un choix régulier tant pour des déjeuners décontractés que pour des dîners spéciaux.
I love this place & it's my go to for Italian cuisine. It's a joy to eat at the bar & get to know the fun loving staff. This resto reminds me of'The Big Night' 🎥 because of the authenticity of its cuisine contrasted by an unbelievably busy place around the corner & its horrific faux Italian food … only this resto is wildly successful as well. Chef really has learned to work with what is available to stay true to Italian 🇮🇹 roots (chef is an Italian national).
The Caesar salad is delicious 😋 despite it being an invention of Hollywood… the only'fake' thing on the menu, but that doesn't detract from its desirability. Wines are very well selected but I tend to focus on the Negroni 🥃 here because it's sooo tasty 😋… but it's easy to overdo it 😵?💫😵🤣
I ate here with my family. The waiter, Gabriel, was super friendly, very knowledgeable, took great care of us. The rest of the staff covered him as he got more busy. They suggested the Caesar Salad & it did not disappoint. I highly suggest getting it with the anchovies. The Bolognese was also very delicious. Finally, the tiramisu, which they gave to us on the house for some unknown reason, was the best in Montreal. They also threw in one chocolate & one pistachio cookie, which were both delicious. A must if you're in Montreal.
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.
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.
Best Italian restaurant in the town 😍 omg the Caesar salad that they had it's a must try!!!! It's not the usual one, it's a very very delicious one, & the pasta & the sandwiches, thank me later for the recommendation!
Fabulous Italian food!!! Have to book one week in advance to get seats for four people. All dishes look simple, but all taste so nice -- Caesar salad was the best I ever had; pistachio burrata was wonderful with home baked bread; pasta was chewy & flavorful…
Probably the best Caesar salad in Montreal.
The pesto dish was amazing & the food amazing.
The vibes are great, the staff seemed to really enjoy what they were doing
Would definitely come back just for the salad
Love the food truly 10/10. The location is great, the Caesar salad is a must, & the branzino never disappoints.
Unfortunately, the service doesn't match the quality of the food. During our visit, an Aperol was spilled on the table & it was wiped with a very damp cloth that only made more of a mess. It took about 15 minutes to receive a coffee & a drink, & around 35 minutes for the food, even though the restaurant wasn't full.
What stands out most is the overall attitude , the staff often seems unfriendly & unapproachable. The food is excellent, but the experience would be so much better with warmer, more attentive service
