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.
I had the burrata & the fish as an entree which were very good. Their pesto tastes incredible. However, it took so long for the burrata to come. We were told that we only had one hour & a half at our table, & the entrees itself took nearly 30 minutes to come. I had the pesto spaghetti, but I fear it was undercooked. It was hard to chew & it was just unpleasant. Also the pasta took quite a while to come - I would have expected it to be properly cooked. Along with a cocktail, I was left with a bill of 52$.
Excellent Italian food! Everything was delicious! We ordered the pasta bolognese, pasta puttanesca, braised lamb steak, focaccia, & ceasar salad. The dish to definitely try is there bass fish. The restaurant has a good ambience & the server was really kind & explained the menu to us. I recommend reserving in advance because the restaurant gets full quickly. This was one of the best dinner we had in Montreal.
Delicious pasta - tastes very fresh. Indoors, it was quite crowded on a Monday during lunchtime. We were seated outside next to the street, which was a calmer sitting place. Pleasant experience, good service.
It's an absolute pleasure to eat at Mano Cornuto. They offer a simple menu, yet everything is cooked with high-quality ingredients. Try going there alone with a book, grab a Peroni & a bowl of pasta, & you're all set. Such a delightful experience!
Had a lunch meeting & place was booked solid so got two seats at the counter. Very nice service & pasta dish was great. Above average prices & smaller dishes, but that's what you pay for quality
Good Italian food in Montreal definitely made with love, pasta are delicious 😋, baby octopus lentils was delicious & tiramisu is divine, the music was so loud I couldn’t hear my friends 😬
One unique aspect of this restaurant was that they prepared the pasta right in front of you, which added an interesting touch to the meal. The burrata with pistachios & in a purée of pistachio & artichoke was good; it had a blend of flavors. However, the Campanelle alla Bolognese wasn't anything spectacular & didn't leave a lasting impression but it wasn’t bad by any means.
The ambiance of the restaurant was quite lively, but be prepared for a bit of warmth due to the open cooking area & limited ventilation. It's worth noting that there can be some waiting lines, so making a reservation might be a good idea if you want to give it a try.
I can’t say enough about this place! It’s absolutely an inviting & warm atmosphere filled with great food, service, & atmosphere. There’s not a single thing that you can order on this menu that is not good. The pastas are super fresh. The cocktail drinks are excellent & the wine selection is fantastic.
