Food is delicious. Plated beautifully. However, it is very noisy and the music could be more subtle. Try going during the week.

Everything at Mano a Mano was delicious. I'd especially recommend the lobster ravioli or the tagliatelle bolognese if it's on the menu. While you cannot go wrong with any of the food, my favorite part of the experience here is the staff - they are incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and fun. (Andre was helping our table and was phenomenal!) If you're feeling bold, let them make the food decisions and drink pairings for you; you won't regret it.

Pastas are very fresh and flavorful. Be mindful of the smaller portion sizes for stuffed pastas, however dessert was ample. We tried the amatriciana, lobster ravioli, and agnolotti. All very good but I wish came with a little more sauce. Have to ask for bread - not included. Otherwise very nice ambience and decor, and service was excellent.

Thank you for visiting us! We're happy to hear that you enjoyed our pastas and desserts - the lobster ravioli is definitely a fan favorite. We appreciate your feedback on the portion sizes and sauce levels, and we'll definitely take it into consideration and work with our chef team. It's great to hear that you appreciated our ambiance and service, and we look forward to welcoming you back soon.
