    antipasti platter
    Roshni C.

    A cute, cozy, lively restaurant. I think this is my new favorite Italian in the city! There aren't many pasta dishes where I feel like I couldn't just make it myself - the fusilli e scallops is one of them. Very flavorful, high quality ingredients, and fair portion for the price. We really enjoyed the antipasti plate as an appetizer and the basque cheesecake for dessert was also a favorite! The service here was great, our waiter was very attentive. I plan on returning!

    Always a wonderful experience at a mano! Had the privilege of attending their "wine down in the garden" wine tasting event. Not only were the wines amazing, but so was the service & atmosphere! Their patio is perfectly shaded - great for a warm spring day. We had a birthday in our party and the staff made an adorable card for her with everyone's signatures and gave us complimentary homemade limoncello to celebrate. The perfect way to celebrate another lap around the sun!

    Burrata

    Very romantic, very cozy. I met here with a friend for dinner and I love Italian food. We both started with a house red and an order of burrata (do recommend) followed by the carbonara. Everything was excellent and the waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu and with recommendations. Service was quick and concise, which is exactly what you need on a weekday night.

    Roman sandwich w/ tomato soup
    Nicole W.

    Came for lunch right at 11am when they opened. Didn't have a reservation, but we were the first customers so everything was open. We sat out on the patio which was lovely and besides from the car noises, it doesn't feel like you're basically in a parking lot. My friend and I ordered sandwiches and soup from the lunch menu for $20 total! I had the Roman sandwich with prosciutto and it was absolutely perfect. I dipped it into the tomato soup which was incredibly delicious. I was thankful we could swap out the side of chips for the soup. I highly recommend lunch here for an elevated but affordable option. Parking: they have a very small lot, otherwise it's street parking.

    What a cozy place to get some food! I'm a sucker for string lights so the outdoor seating was perfect. I tried the love potion and an order of cacio e pepe and would highly recommend both. The love potion was a easy drink to sip on and I felt the lychee, hibiscus, and gin was a very smooth combo. I wish the portion of cacio e pepe was a bit bigger, but otherwise it was very good as well.

    Fig salad
    Jennifer Z.

    We tried A Mano on a Saturday night. We definitely needed reservations. They sat us outside at a picnic table style seating. Difficult to maneuver with a sun dress. Our server, Chris, was amazing. So friendly and knowledgeable. We started with fig salad and Burrata appetizers. We would order both again. For entrees, we tried bucatini alla bolognese which was yummy. We also tried the Eggplant Parmesan with a side of pasta. The eggplant is cut super thick. You get two large slices. It was not very flavorful due to the thickness. Once we sliced it horizontally to make thinner slices and used the sauce from the side dish, it was better. I don't think I would order the eggplant again. The parking lot is pretty small.

    Mushroom Bucatini! Chefs kiss... simple Dish. House made pasta miso cream sauce, Parmesan.   Well executed dish!!

    Great service! Simple but well executed dishes! Mushroom bucatini, Tomato basil soup!

    Exterior

    Overall the food was a solid 9/10. The burrata was amazing, the tomato puree really elevated it. The red trout dish was great, but just a tad salty. The service was AMAZING!! The vibes were great on the patio and the ambiance makes it feel apart of the local community.

    Burrata
    Robert G.

    Came here for dinner. Small Italian restaurant with a limited menus. Started with a Burrata appetizer with sourdough bread and a side Misto salad. Burrata a bit pricey for what you got but good. For dinner we ordered pasta bolognese, chicken parmigiana and egg plant parmigiana. We informed the eggplant was out of stock. The pasta was decent as was the chicken parmigiana which were made from thighs. Dessert was the chocolate torte which was probably the best thing we had. Service was decent.

    We ordered some focaccia bread and it came out cold! The server said this is how they serve it? Why would I want cold bread? Anyways, at 5-6pm they get booked up and the restaurant was fully packed when we dined. Service was very slow, and we waited so long for our drinks and apps. Main courses came out while we were still eating our apps and they were yummy. Only complaint is the bread and how they were serving it. Overall, good experience as the pasta was tasty. One of the pastas were tasty the other one was nothing too special

    Love the Hugo spritz... Light & refreshing

    I had finished a energizing photoshoot at Old Fourth Ward park with FemForce photography... Was hungry and wanted to celebrate ME. Amazing to me there were literally no restaurants around that area of O4W and even by The LOLA. A Mano popped up And although I don't usually do pasta cuz that'll watch the carbs thing I said what the hell, why not I'm celebrating. It can't be any worse than whatever fast food that I would be picking up on the way back to the office. Pepper pasta as a kick but it is delicious with lots of shaved cheese and it was on lunch special for only $10. So I indulged with a prosecco Spritz that they call Hugo with a little elderflower and it was and lovely. Service was very warm and inviting and friendly. The ambiance is just wonderful. I love these old houses that get converted into restaurants. They have so much character. This one has a very nice open main dining room with enclosed porch and a covered garden area. I sat at the the far window facing out to look at the garden since I was flying solo. If you're in the Old Fourth Gordon area and want a nice casual inviting experience that isn't rushed, this is your spot. Apparently it gets really busy because they were taking reservations. I got here before noon time and had no wait. They do have lunch specials What a delight.

    Beet salad
    Chandrika R.

    Came here on a Saturday night with a group of friends. The place was packed, but the staff were still attentive. The "bird in hand" cocktail was delicious! The beet salad was one of the best salads I've ever had. The fusilli e scallops was not to my liking. It was sweet and too rich for me. I should have asked more questions when I ordered it by recommendation of the waitress, but it is a very popular dish. The chocolate torte was good but nothing special. I'm giving 4 stars because the atmosphere was fun, and the waitstaff was so great! They even gave us separate checks without any fuss. I will def be back and order something with a red sauce!

    Pasta
    Kathy Y.

    I really enjoyed my lunch here with a friend! The restaurant is really cute both outside and inside, and our waiter was really nice. He explained the menu and the specials for us since it was our first time here. My friend and I split one of the special appetizer, and it was really good! I also got a pesto pasta, which was delicious as well. I really enjoyed the vibes here, so I would come again to try more of their dishes!

I didn't realize that the two were connected! FYI, if you sit downstairs, you'll be seated next to where the live music performers will be playing, so it will be louder there. As for the drinks, I tried the Zombie. I loved it so much, I ordered a second one instead of trying a different one! It tasted sweet and slightly tropical with the rum and spiced liqueur. It also had some absinthe, which I was worried about when I first ordered it since I hate the taste of it (not a big fan of black licorice flavors), but I didn't taste it at all! Overall, this place had such a great vibe to it!

Our server, Robert, was fantastic--attentive without being overbearing. He made great recommendations and was happy to move us from a small table to a more comfortable booth when we asked. They offer a wide variety of alcoholic drinks, but we opted for "Mocktail #2," which was pink, fruity, and refreshing with watermelon, mint, and lime soda. We started with the Chargrilled Louisiana Oysters, which were perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious--honestly, the best I've ever had. The Volcano Roll was also great--generous in size and perfect for sharing. It's listed as having "spicy crab," but I didn't find it spicy at all (a plus for me!). If you want more heat, wasabi is served on the side. For entrees, I had the Salmon Teriyaki and my husband had the Braised Beef. My salmon was perfectly cooked and came with fluffy white rice and mixed vegetables. But he definitely won the entree round--his beef was tender, flavorful, and served with what tasted like sweet mashed potatoes (the menu said red potatoes). The glazed carrots were slightly firm but still tasty. To top it all off, we were served a mini chocolate cake with whipped vanilla icing--soft, rich, and perfect for sharing. The inside isn't the largest resource been to, but has plenty of seating. The atmosphere is relaxed and we saw people dressed up and down. Overall, we had a great experience. Bully Boy is a gem, and I hope you're lucky enough to have Robert as your server!

    Now this was a treat…read more I had no idea Little Spirit was tucked away where it is--I usually frequent Delbar just up the street--so stumbling upon this spot was such a pleasant surprise. I know the word gets overused, but it truly was a whole vibe. What I loved most is that it's the kind of place where everyone feels welcome. There's no pressure, no strict dress code--just a come-as-you-are energy, and people genuinely receive you that way. Within five minutes of being there, I already felt comfortable. Everyone was so friendly--the bartenders, the people around us, even the random interactions felt warm and easy. The space itself is really cool too. They have artwork featuring icons like Prince, Tupac, and Biggie, which added to the overall atmosphere. We ordered the King Peach (I believe it had bourbon--I did take a picture of the menu, though it's a little cut off), and it was really good. Smooth, flavorful, and easy to sip. They're open until 2 AM, so it's a great spot whether you're grabbing a drink with friends, on a date, or even just stopping by solo to soak in the energy. It's one of those places where you can just be. I'd love to make this a regular spot--definitely somewhere I can see myself coming back to at least once a month.

I sat at the bar and had a little light banter with the bartender who is a brother looking to be in his late 30's-early 40's. When I asked about two fruity cocktails from the menu, he flat-out said he wasn't going to make them. That alone was off-putting. Trying to move forward, I asked what he specialized in, and he said he'd "come up with something." I agreed--but very clearly stated: no rum, because my body does not react well to it. After watching him make drinks for people who ordered after me, he eventually handed me a cocktail I never even saw him prepare. That already raised a flag. I took a few sips, and sure enough--my stomach immediately started reacting the exact way it does when I've had rum. When I asked what alcohol he used, he said, "I don't even know." That response alone tells you everything you need to know. At that point, I reminded him I specifically said no rum. Instead of taking accountability, he tried to argue and backtrack. Let me be clear--when a customer tells you not to use a specific liquor, you don't ignore it, guess, or "forget." That's basic service and basic respect. This situation completely threw off my evening, as I had plans afterward and ended up feeling sick. To make matters worse, I reached out to management and received no response. That lack of accountability speaks volumes. At the end of the day, this wasn't just a bad drink--it was careless service. This staff does not prioritize customer care, and that's a problem. If you choose to visit, be very direct, pay close attention, and don't assume your requests will be respected.

    Italian Steakhouse Says It All - The Best of All Worlds…read more Walked into IL Premio on a Monday night and was told there was an hour wait for a table, so I headed to the bar- fortunately, a seat was open. I started with one of my favorite Reposados by Herradura. For my Crudi, I ordered the Ricciola alla Puttanesca, what i thought was going to be a classic Italian seafood dish that traditionally features ricciola (Italian amberjack) in puttanesca sauce. The menu noted it was made with yellowtail, which piqued my curiosity. I expected the ricciola to be pan-seared or lightly grilled and finished with the sauce, or served with the sauce spooned over the top. To my surprise, the dish arrived as thinly sliced raw yellowtail, presented sashimi/crudo-style. Each slice was topped with a small amount of sauce infused with capers, Taggiasca olives, Calabrese chiles, and possibly sun-dried tomatoes, all classic puttanesca ingredients. Microgreens completed the presentation. This could be described as a "ricciola crudo with puttanesca-style garnish" rather than a traditional cooked ricciola alla puttanesca. Essentially, the chef uses the puttanesca flavor profile (capers, olives, chiles, tomato, oil) as a raw topping instead of cooking the fish in the sauce. While it's raw, it's a modern, crudo-style interpretation inspired by puttanesca flavors and I'm a fan. I'll order it again and again. For my Secondi, I had the Risotto ai Funghi, a classic Italian dish featuring creamy arborio rice with shiitake and hen-of-the-woods (maitake) mushrooms and a hint of lemon. Served piping hot, it was rich, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. For dessert, I enjoyed another Reposado by Herradura. IL Premio is so much more than a steakhouse. The food is thoughtfully prepared, the atmosphere is refined, service by Janlan was excellent and it is a fitting restaurant for an outstanding hotel property.
