This was our first visit. The service was superb in all aspects. The food is inventive and well prepared. Not all dishes were fully successful but all displayed creativity. The deserts wrere wonderful. The ambience was very comfortable and inviting. All staff. were friendly and welcoming. A word of caution. The City of Chicago in their infinite wisdom has installed bike lanes on Milwaukee Ave. and effectively reduced street parking by 50 percent. There is valet parking next door and save yourself aggravation by using it.

Great food, everything was delicious. We live close by and have been here a couple of times, love that they have a community table for walk ins since reservations are hard to get. I have a cough and jokingly asked if they could make me a hot toddy. After initially saying no, they procured the ingredients and surprised me with one, which I thought was super extra!

Hi Melissa, Thank you for the great review! We're glad you enjoyed the food, and we’re happy to know that the community table has worked out well for you as a walk-in option. We’re especially glad we could surprise you with the hot toddy – it’s always our goal to make every visit feel special, and we love going the extra mile when we can! We look forward to cooking for you again soon! Be Well, The Mano a Mano Team

Interesting menu. Good wine list - but small. Pasta was a little too rich. Great service. Nice playlist.
