    Amazing outdoor ambience, unusual for the neighborhood. Friendly, gracious servers who knew the unique wine list quite well. Had two different wines that I've never had before, both Italian, both delicious. The food was high quality and flavorful, some different options compared with traditional Italian restaurants.

    Food was delicious and came out quickly! The place was a little loud but despite that, I could hear my personal conversations very well. I would definitely come back

    Quick seating. Small tables. Felt like we could have been seating in an area with more space considering there was many tables available. Server was not welcoming. Seemed like he didn’t want to be there. We felt rushed. Food was good. It came out in 5 minutes of ordering.

    Food was unimpressive. We had the margarita pizza. It had too much sauce and the crust was doughy.

    As always it was delicious! We got the usual which is the arancini balls plus the mushroom pizza which was to die for. My favorite local restaurant.

    We used to love A Mano but the food has changed. Bigger portions (too big!!) and tasteless food. Our waiter said there were changes in the kitchen and that we were not the only clients to be disappointed.

    We were very late so they adjusted our reservation. The food came quickly and the cocktails were delicious. Only complaint is that we felt a bit cramped.
