"Second time here, unfortunately my first time was better food wise. I wasn't blown away by any of my choices today should have stuck to the bolognese! The service however was impeccable. Our server was very nice, she new her menu was very accommodating my water was never left empty. I also loved that they didn't rush us once our meal was done, thank you."

"Probably the best Caesar salad in Montreal. The pesto dish was amazing and the food amazing. The vibes are great, the staff seemed to really enjoy what they were doing Would definitely come back just for the salad"

"Great service, the hostess was especially friendly and welcoming. The server suggested a great wine by the glass pairing from Puglia. I kinda wish the wines available by the glass were on the menu though. Since there's an empty lot across, you get a decent view of the city from the side terrasse, I didn't go inside but the decor looked nice. The charcuterie plate might be the best I've ever had, simply because of the preserves, the mushrooms, artichoke, peppers, and some sort of leaves were all perfect pairings to the meat and cheeses and focaccia. The oxtail was predictably difficult to eat but had a nice rich sauce and was a decent portion. My friend's steak was perfectly cooked and well-seasoned. Just understand that there are no sides included with either. The panna cotta was smooth and the lemon added just the right touch of sweetness. The autumn cocktail tasted exactly as it should. I don't recommend their off-menu deconstructed chocolate mousse torte. It really wasn't balanced at all in terms of flavours or texture. I also don't recommend their Negroni sour, the lemon totally offsets the flavour profile of a Negroni."

"Booked a reservation for 2 at the bar and it was such a vibe! Great wine options, and we absolutely loved the burrata & pesto pasta (those were only the 2 things we tried as we weren’t super hungry). Not a ton of options for vegetarians but there are some so it’s definitely worth going! I’m still a little confused about how to book an actual table as we seemed to only be able to book the bar, but wasn’t an issue for us."

"We had an incredible meal at Manu Cornuto. To start, the Pistachio Burrata was creamy and absolutely to die for. We also ordered the Caesar salad and the ceviche—both were fresh and "wow" worthy. For mains, we tried the pesto pasta and the bolognese, but the star of the show was the Cream of Squash & Guanciale pasta. It was outstanding We finished off the night with the Pistachio Tiramisu, which completely blew my mind. If you are looking for high-quality Italian food at a great price, this spot is a must-visit."

"It was my first time at Mano Cornuto. Forget finding parking, you either live nearby or take an Uber. Service was slow to get started but once our super energetic waitress arrived everything was smooth. The atmosphere is lively and casual, cocktails are well done, and for Montreal standards it is solid. We tried nearly everything on the menu and three of us could not even finish it all. The pistachio pasta was fine, the focaccia decent, but nothing that truly stood out. This is better suited for lunch. Sandwiches, salads, and a quick plate of pasta work well here. For dinner it does not have the depth, refinement, or atmosphere you would expect. Overall good food and nice vibe, but a 4 star lunch spot, not a dinner destination."

"My new fav spot! The food is amazing and the staff is so so sweet (special mention to our waitress Rose and the hostess <3). 10/10 would recommend."

"Incredible experience! The menu is not limited to delicious typical Italian dishes, but also includes more refined and elaborate items such as the crudo di branzino (pictured half eaten ). The ox tail was tender as can be and the grilled octopus was one of the best we've ever had. The only thing as good as the food is the service: you are not served by a specific waiter, but rather by a well-orchestrated team of waiters. The food is served fast, your glass is refilled almost instantly - just perfect. Also, strongly recommend sitting at the bar and asking for Juan Carlos who was impeccably attentive. Will be coming back soon!"
