   loved this restaurant. Unable to see the decor due to dark lighting. Food was outstanding, music was great, waitstaff helpful and attentive, booth comfortable and we did not feel rushed to leave even though restaurant was very very busy. Fantastic restaurant.

   Great experience for dinner! Delicious inventive food and outstanding service with an attentive server and supportive staff with water and clearing the table. Loved every aspect of the meal and given detailed explanations and advice from our server to make our choices. Highly recommend.

   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 the soul-satisfying dinner! The complimentary toast and spread was an excellent start followed up by the raw tuna bruschetta that set the bar in terms of flavor combination and texture. I think the highlight of our time, though, was your eggplant cutlet. There was a beautiful balance between the crunchiness of the breading and the softness of the eggplant, tied together by its seasoning. Then sealing the deal was the subtle flavor of the cheese on top and the rich tomato sauce on bottom. The pasta dishes were also great, but near the edge of being too strong in flavor (that may just be my personal taste, though). As our first time in your restaurant, we had an outstanding experience! See you soon!
