It was busy, so it took a little longer than reservation time to get seated, but the food was delicious and the service was great! The amatriciana was amazing and the tiramisu was also excellent. The music was a little loud but not enough to drown out conversation.

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.
