We ordered the chef’s tasting menu and everything was superb! Because it’s a BYOB, we were able to bring fabulous wines to enjoy with dinner. The service was attentive and made us feel very welcomed. There’s plenty of nearby parking and we visited one of the nearby Philly neighborhood bars for a quick drink before dinner. Remember it’s cash-only, BYOB.

The food was amazing! Staff was incredibly friendly and it was a great experience

Very slow service and missed part of the order

Four friends were meeting for a lovely meal. What could be better than AMano?
Despite the coronavirus concerns, we braved the “fear of eating out” and had a terrific meal. Our waitress could not have been more attentive and the food was outstanding. Thanks, A Mani!

The food is exceptional as always.

The staff are the best

If you are looking for a delicious dining experience, A Mano is your go to.
I have been there over a dozen times and it never disappoints.
The antipasti is beyond, not to mention their pasta with crabmeat is out of this world.
I had the barramundi as a main dish and OMG....amazing!
Treat yourself... YOU DESERVE IT!

Food and service was exceptional. The absolute best pork belly I’ve ever had. Polenta side dish was flawless. Duck and chicken large plates were done to perfection. I absolutely love this place.

I love coming here. Great pasta and great service! 🍝

Have been wanting to try this place for some time and so glad we finally made it there! It did not dissapoint! Food was delicious - interesting combinations of flavors in all of the dishes. The staff could not have been nicer and were spot on in describing the dishes. Will definitely be back!

Absolutely delicious!

First time dining at A Mano and it was superb!
Creative menu, everything delicious !
We will certainly return!

It was great. We had the tasting menu which was delicious. Plenty of food. It is very popular and loud.

Got the tasting menu ! They even threw in the braised pork belly I really wanted in!

Everything was delicious! A Mano is a must when dining in Fairmount

Excellent hand prepared food. Creativie and super Yummy

We got the chefs tasting and it was mind blowingly good.

Outstanding flavors and textures come together across the entire menu. Excellent bread service too.

Anniversary dinner. Outstanding food. We will return.

Amazing food! Restaurant was very noisy. We forgot it was cash only, but there is a gas station across the street that has an ATM machine.

Our dining experience at A Mano got off to a Rocky start when we arrived for a 7:00 pm reservation and there were no open tables in sight. Our party of seven stood in the cramped entryway, extending our reach into the open dining room and surrounding tables. Was our contender an underdog incapable of sprinting up the steps to culinary victory?

After approximately 20 minutes of heart pounding anticipation, during which our Adriatic hostess offered comfort that all would be well, our party was finally seated. For parties of seven or more, the restaurant requires the “abbondanza” which is a four course tasting menu served Paulie style for $65. Since this is a BYOB establishment, we came prepared with several bottles of our favorite grape juice.

Our server, who might have been named Mickey, commenced our training by explaining that we would be receiving the chef’s selections for the evening consisting of three dishes per course. With that we were ready for the match to begin.

The first round was a combination punch of roasted cauliflower, braised pork belly and tuna crudo. Not to be undercut, the second round consisted of three pastas - bucatini in a spicy tomato sauce, cavatelli with escargot and strozzapreti with crab. The third course was a haymaker of chicken Milanese, seared duck breast and roasted barramundi. Our dinner thus far was served at the perfect pace, with appropriate pauses between rounds, and could not have been more delicious. All that was left to deliver the knockout punch was dessert. It did not disappoint and delivered the victory the crowd had cheered for.

Overall, A Mano is ready to take on the Apollo Creed of Philly’s Italian dining scene.

Perfect for girls night out or date night. The ravioli was amazing!

Phenomenal food and service. I look forward to going back soon!

A Mano is consistently excellent. Staff are superb as is the food. Cash only and BYOB. An excellent value is every respect.

Tried A Mano on a whim, and it blew us away! We went back next week to try the rest of their menu, and will continue to stop in to see what they've got going. Fantastic service, great pricing, easy location, and cozy interior. Plus, BYOB! Thanks for all you do.

Original. Creative. Enjoyable. However, not a heart healthy venue. Great for an creative meal, but if one has cholesterol/heart issues, I would avoid.

The restaurant is small with an open line. The service & food was great but the noise levels were terrible. There were several large parties that forgot they were in a restaurant not a bar atmosphere and when they got their check and everything was completely clear except their wine glasses sat & lingered. My Husband and I couldn't carry a conversation without yelling at one another. We were told that the party of 9 would be leaving soon but only to be replaced by a party of 10. It's not the restaurants fault but clearly not for couples surrounded by loud large parties. Our wait person tried to sit us up by the line but to no avail. At the end of the meal we were compt a dessert. She was a champ but I'm not sure my Husband will go back. And yes we know it was Saturday night but maybe a little screening would help and staggering the reservations or put them in the back & couples in the front.

Great waiter. Food just okay. Noise level disturbing

Unreal every time!

This is our neighborhood gem! My favorite go-to and soooooo lucky to have them nearby!

New dishes: flan, fritate & gnudi are all fabulous

Had a fabulous anniversary dinner. The service was terrific and the food was wonderful. We tried the tasting menu. It was a ton of food. We loved all of it. We brought our own wine. We would eat here again.

So delicious, so comforting. Tight and noisy, but it doesn't detract from a great dining experience. BYO is the cherry on the Sunday.

I’ve rated A Mano on another forum there’s simply nothing like it .. a destination restaurant in Fairmount that will always surprise and delight ... I’d think just about anyone! Michael and his crew are amazing and it seems to be a secret or there’d be a line for takeout (writing in Nov ‘20) in addition to the few outdoor and indoor tables. If they ONLY had their bread...I would say the same thing...THE BREAD...OMG...and that’s just the start.

Great for foodies. The chefs are on view and take real pride in producing fabulous tasting food

Would highly recommend the Abbondaza for anyone dining at A Mano, especially if you're dining with friends. The food is fantastic and you leave stuffed for $65. This is our second time dining here and we've loved it both times. Would highly recommend A Mano to anyone looking for an Italian BYOB offering great value or to anyone looking for Philly restaurant suggestions. Will definitely be back.

From arrival to departure A Mano is a wonderful dining experience. The staff is attentive without being fawning. This is a BYO so check out the menu online so you know what you want to pair with your choices. We began with a few small plates to share among the four of us, the tuna crudo, mushroom ravioli and the pork belly, plus a small plate of the goat cheese gnocchi. I cannot say enough how utterly delightful these all were and they paired wonderfully with the Rhône red we brought. Main courses were pork shank (me), fruiti di mar, chicken Milanese and duck. Everyone raves about their entrees and they all paired perfectly with the Bordeaux blends we brought. Desserts were delicious with sparkling wine and a late harvest Chambourcin. They offer a four course family style dinner option as well, and we will try that in our next visit. A Mano is definitely going to be our go-to dining spot.

We love this restaurant. The dishes are inventive, always with wonderful complex flavors and consistently balanced. The service is exemplary.

Foos is always spot on, consistent and delicious.

We went for my birthday on a saturday night. The service was great and the pastas good too. A few dishes have chile in it and spicy so I could not try them. Energetic vibe but the hard room makes it noisy. So understand that. Prices were fair for entrees but dessert portions were smaller than we expected. We like to share but not possible with size. We would consider going back though we do have to drive there.
