From the moment we entered, the experience was fantastic. Dre, our waiter, was on point in both cocktail and food recommendations. The pastas were amazing. The drinks were fun and delicious. We will definitely return.

They sat us late but the hostess was sweet to come get us next door. There was no where to stand in the restaurant. The food was good but very heavy. My recommendation would be to put more protein options on the menu. The service was excellent. Cool space.

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.
