A Mano Kitchen & Bar

First time here. Went for a private event. The food is good had the lettuce salad with raisins which was fresh and tasty, pepperoni pizza and garlic pizza as appetizers which were tasty and made in wood oven which gives a pleasant aftertaste and very close to pizza in Italy. The fried chicken was average. The dried calamari and octopus were so tasty with a flavorful sweet sauce. The pasta dish with rosé sauce was so good and not heavy. Relatively good service considering we were a big group. I am not usually an Italian food fan in the US hut this place is good. The interior design is pleasant and spacious.

A Mano Kitchen and Bar was a conflicting experience of, that's incredible to, that's made really well but I've had better. I'll make this clear there was nothing bad, not remotely, maybe it was the hype or the prices on the traditional menu that was swaying our opinions. We went for dining week, which is amazing that they participate in because it gave us an opportunity to try so much we otherwise would be hesitant to because of total cost. A Mano itself is really beautiful inside, a great spacious layout with unique designs. Music is playing loud enough to hear, quiet enough to easily converse with your table. Our server was pleasant and attentive, and did his job well. I was impressed that after every course they cleaned everything up and gave us new silverware. For drinks a wide variety of choices of cocktails, wines and beers. Everyone who had a drink enjoyed them. The food, this where mixed positive reviews start coming in and I'll go course by course. The complimentary bread, very soft and fresh, the butter with it was different than a traditional butter, but not our favorite. I used the delicious bread to soak up the sauce from my appetizer. I had the Polpette and this was hands down the best restaurant meatballs I've ever had. Cooked to perfection and the flavor of the sauce left me wanting more. The Caesar salads were very fresh and well made. Someone order the special goat cheese appetizer and they adored it. The main dishes. I had the Gnocchi stuffed with Ricotta and they were cooked perfectly, they nailed the texture. I was underwhelmed by the flavor profile of the sauce they were in. Making it a simply enjoyable main. My wife had the strip steak and again they cooked it to perfection, underwhelmed by any flavor. It needed more of a favor punch to put it over the top. The twice baked potatoes that came with it were very good. Those that ordered the Cavatelli were in love with it. I got to try some and again cooked to perfection! This time with the sauce having flavor that makes you go wow with each bite! Someone also ordered the pepperoni pizza and they said it was good, it's pizza. The desserts, the deconstructed cannoli with orange ricotta and the lava cake. Both were very nice. We weren't a fan of the orange flavor but you can't knock it for accuracy, it was well executed and a fun take on the traditional version. The lava cake was very good and they used peanut butter in it which was a preferred twist on the traditional. Overall A Mano is easy to recommend, everything was good to great. I want to give it another try to have the opportunity to be fully blown away. I do encourage you to check the menu for pricing and to reserve a table as it's very popular and will easily fill up. Enjoy!!

My wife and I went here for an early Valentines Day. All of our courses were great - my steak was slightly undercooked but they took it back without question and had it out a few minutes later. The experience was very positive overall - highly recommend. Dessert was a banana chocolate cheesecake that we would highly recommend too.

The food is amazing! Great service, too. Will definitely be returning

Back home visiting the family and we came here for dinner. It was my first time here. The food was so good! I had the NY strip with smashed potatoes and greens. The steak was seasoned and cooked perfectly. The potatoes had such a great texture and taste to them. The greens were lightly seasoned and complimented the rest of the dish. The service was very good. The staff was friendly and helpful.
