    If I could give Mano a Mano 6 stars I would! This restaurant understands food, of course, but what keeps us coming back is the personal service — we feel like VIPs every time we go, and they are so good at it, I bet everyone feels this way.

    Our experience was amazing. We had a party of six and we all agreed we will definitely come back. The food was delicious and very creative. Fresh, good portions, served timely. Beautiful presentations. The chef even came out and talked to us twice to see how we liked everything. This is truly a hidden gem even though it's a great location and easy to get to.

    Excellent pizza. Meatballs and salad were also very good! Can’t wait to go back when they have a liquor license.

    We sat in one of the clear bubbles outside. It was lots of fun and so unique. There was a space heater and throw blankets. The ambiance was amazing. Everyone really enjoyed dining in the bubble. We each ordered a pizza, not knowing these were sharable. There were lots of leftovers, which nobody complained about. We also had the limoncello cake and tiramisu. Both were delicious. Will definitely go back and try to sit in the bubble. Love the ambiance!!

    First time there and it was fantastic! We will definitely be back. My husband said his rigatoni vodka was the best, but I think my mushroom fav was!
