Literally every single dish we had was fantastic!! The service was also great and our waitress took the time to really walk us through all of her top recommendations. I also loved that this place wasn’t pumped up with music, it was cozy and you could really have a deep conversation with someone and didn’t feel like you were on top of another table.

Our experience at Mano A Mano was fantastic! We went right as they opened on a weeknight and it felt so intimate. I was really smitten with the dim lighting and all of the furnishings--really beautiful space. Our server was sweet and had a very contagious energy, and everyone we spoke to was amicable and warm! The happy hour deal is the value play, for sure--the pizza you get when you order a bottle of wine is the best in the area (and there's TONS of great pizza a stone's throw away). It's chewy without being tough, the salt level of the cheeses was perfect, and the crust was perfectly crispy on the bottom. We also ordered two entrees and while everything tasted AMAZING (the bone marrow and short rib agnolotti were unique and perfectly al dente), we're big eaters, so we felt like the portions were a little small for entree prices. We were grateful that we'd eaten the pizza before our entrees! The tiramisu was fluffy and creamy, and the gelato we sampled for our birthday treat was delicious and custardy. The meal was very leisurely paced (in a good way) where I never felt rushed with too many plates on the table. We didn't have a single bad bite of food here, and we'll come back to take advantage of that happy hour deal again. Thanks for a memorable experience!

Food was good, just not memorable. A little pricey for it being a tad forgettable. But the service was lovely and I really enjoyed the ambiance!

Food was phenomenal and the Restaurant Week menu was great bang for your buck. On top of the food, their Negroni offerings were superb and service was outstanding! We’ll definitely be back!
