Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Elmwood Park

Such a nice time! Loved the ambiance as it got later in the evening. Food was delish and all staff were great. Definitely will be back.

A friend recommended this spot to us and it did not disappoint. Great service, great atmosphere, and GREAT food. The portions sizes were big and left us feeling very full and happy. Would definitely recommend this spot if you are looking for delicious Italian cuisine

Great ambience in the first room, second area has some brighter lights. Pollo Veneto was delicious just a touch salty. Toffee sticky cake was delicious. We sat and talked a while with no problem as the place clears out nicely after dinner.

Loved the ambience, great music playlist, great food. Prices were reasonable. Only thing was server got caught up with other tables toward the end of our stay. Would happily come back and am excited to try more of the menu.

We had a magical first experience at Mano a Mano. We were looking for a date night spot within walking distance of City Lit, where we were headed afterward for an event on a very cold evening. What a wonderful surprise! From the moment we walked in to the warm, inviting room, to our kind and helpful server, to the tasty wine served in carafes, to the welcome bread service (a lost art and such a rarity these days), to the excellent but non-obtrusive soundtrack, to the delicious food (special props to the salads, which are thoughtful parts of the menu), to the sweet one-bite gelato treat for a special occasion we were celebrating, everything was first rate. The pasta isn't cheap, but it's all handmade and thoughtfully prepared, and given the generous portion of other aspects of the menu (did I mention bread service?! still thinking about that Calabrian chili butter), it's hard to fault the value. Honestly, this was an unforgettable meal for us and we can't wait to go back.
