Delicious and straight to the point. Came here with a long time friend, so we probably overstayed our welcome but the server was so kind and tended to us regardless. The pasta was delicious and so was the desert. We did the fig salad and burrata for appetizer (delicious). We also ordered the bolognese and carbonara. 8/10 for both! read more

I couldn't give this a 1 star due to having been to a mano once before for lunch. I will say that their lunch menu outshines their dinner menu. Yesterday we visited a mano for our two year anniversary, because their lunch menu was so delicious we expected to have the same or even better experience for dinner. First: I am not going to name the waiter because at the end of the day it was busy, but our waiter the whole time didn't really check up on us, they didn't really even seem to care. They kept going back and forth from making drinks at the bar to rushing around with different tables. (It happens it was busy i'm not really even upset about that) Second: was our food... We ordered the Fritto Misto to start, It was okay.. it was really greasy. We continued to order the Pecan crusted red trout and the Chicken parmesan... This is where our issue started... The fish genuinely had no flavor, not even a pinch of salt? It was so bland I don't understand how the fish was so bland! There was no seasoning was added to that fish. It was soggy and sad. The Chicken Parmesan was sad as well, the panko chicken had no flavor, there was more panko than chicken, and the marinara sauce tasted like they used a store bought canned marinara. We hate to waste food so we did finish our dishes but it genuinely was the worst dishes we've ever consumed. I was very disappointed because the first time we went to a mano it was so good, their grilled chicken and tomato basil soup is amazing. All this to say we wish we would've went somewhere else for our two year anniversary let alone spending 100 dollars on disappointing food. a mano is better for lunch. read more

If you want cute and quaint, this is the perfect place for you to try. Seating outside(covered) and inside. It is a small space but large with personality. The service was perfection! It was nice to be greeted and told, which is rare now adays, we could be seated eventhough half our party had not arrived yet...Plus +++ Our waiter was great, very knowledgeable of the menu, and very accommodating. The manager(I think) stayed checking on us and was the one who gave everyone a yummy cookie for my sons birthday, a party of 6. So, so, nice and sweet of him. Such a kind staff. My son picked this place for his 18th birthday...he's a foodie like his mom. ***FYI***Not a real problem but a small, small, disappointment, that I want y'all to know ahead of time. The lunch menu(not knowing) is extremely minimal compared to the dinner menu my son picked the restaurant off of. So be mindful, when making reservations. PLEASE don't get me wrong though a minimal menu, each thing we ordered was Great!! Myself: Turkey club-AMAZING Oldest son: Bucatini Alla ragʻu-Really good Birthday boy(baby boy): Pesto rigatoni-Delicious (There words) We all were pleased with our dishes, there weren't any complaints... besides baby boy saying it wasn't enough(lol) From the being to end we all were pleased and will be making our way back for dinner. There is a private parking lot.... small and tight. As always I hope your experience be just a great as mines. Dang I didn't check out the restroom for you... shucks! read more

I came here for a lunch with my team, around 11am, and we really enjoyed the experience. We sat inside but there is indoor and outdoor seating. Pretty quiet and low music so easy for conversation. The service was great. The food was timely and overall pretty good. I had a chicken sandwich which was tasty. The bread is made in house, yet it was cold. I'm not sure if it was supposed to be served that way, but warm bread would have made for a better experience in my opinion. Very small parking lot, so I parked a few blocks over and walked, which wasn't a major issue. Overall I would be back. I heard they have really good cocktails so I'll try when I'm not at a work lunch. read more

Great dinner experience here recently! Came here to celebrate and anniversary and everything felt very friendly and familiar, even though we had never been before. We were given an apertif to start, which although a little sweet, was a nice touch. We tried a savory martini cocktail and a black manhattan to start, and both drinks were very well made and balanced. I loved the root beer and absinthe that came through on the black manhattan. We then split a burrata which was nice, not overly creamy, and finally the main event was the chicken thigh parmigiana. It's great to finally see chicken thigh get the hype it deserves in Italian style cooking. This is a must-try dish here. Will definitely be back for it. Obviously was too stuffed for dessert. read more

Cutest little restaurant. It feels like you're walking into someone's home and they'll certainly treat you that way too. We recently visited for the first time to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary with our 7 year old daughter in tow. (What are you going to do when you couldn't get a babysitter? ) We were late for our reservation (Atl traffic, amirite?), but they were kind to accommodate and we were sat outside under the stairs in a cozy little nook that seats about 4 total tables. Raina was our server. She was patient with our questions, our excited kiddo and my indecisiveness on what to order. (It all looked good!) Truth is, it WAS all good with very few dings on our experience. I'd love to return soon to get another feel for this spot. Either way, here were the highlights: - cocktails are unique and daring. I landed on the whispered serenade, a sage-butter washed gin beverage that was adorned with black pepper. Husband had the black manhattan which featured a house root beer cordial. Both were a good choice! - appetizers! I could've taken a swan dive into their burrata. It was simply picture perfect. We also ordered a special appetizer for the evening, which was salmon tartare. This was such a unique, lovely dish that balanced flavors and ingredients I'd never consider pairing together, but they came together beautifully. - dinner: husband opted for the chicken parm, which was chicken thigh. The breading was thick and crunchy and the plating of it was gorgeous. I'm not the biggest fan of chicken thigh, but it was yummy. I had the bucatini bolognese. I selected this because 1) it is my understanding they make their pasta in-house and 2) I ordered bucatini the night my husband proposed so it was a bit sentimental. I'll be honest, while the pasta was delightful, the bolognese wasn't my favorite. There was very little meat in the ragu and it seemed to make up in volume with a ton of roughly chopped, cooked onions. I like onions, but this felt out of place. Luckily everything else I ate redeemed this specific dish. - post-dinner: we wanted to get dessert, but we needed to get the kiddo back to our side of town. While we opted out of dessert, Raina did deliver two sippers of limoncello and a card signed by everyone at the restaurant. I thought this was a beautiful touch. My takeaway: this is a lovely, but casual enough restaurant where you're not breaking the bank on a special night out. Dishes are reasonably priced, service is friendly, food was delicious. read more

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! read more

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! read more

My friend and I had spontaneous dinner here and we got lucky! It was slow at first and we did not have a reservation. We ended up sitting at the bar and the place was shortly packed out! We split everything we ordered so we could try more of the menu. We started with the Antipasti Plate, moved on to the Carbonara, then ordered the Salmon and a side of Shishito peppers. To pair with our meal, we ordered a bottle of the Orange Pinot Gris (Great Choice). To end the service, we got the Gelato. Everything was fresh, made to order, and very much authentic. I have become a huge fan and will definitely return with a reservation. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Finally got the chance to come her and boy did it live up to the hype! This is such a cozy spot! Its got great italian food with the cozy vibe inside. We had a reservation for 3 of us on a Friday night around 8:30. There is not a ton of parking on site but there is tons of parking around the neighborhood for free, so still lots of good options. Our table was ready right away and we had a lovely waitress who provided lots of good recommendations. She sold me on the prosciutto e melone drink which WOW so tasty and definitely could taste the prosciutto a little. For an appy, we got the burrata which was just perfect. For our entrees, we got the spinach tortellini (why do they never give a lot for tortellini!) which was a special for the evening and quite delicious. We paired it with the chicken parm which had to be the JUCIEST chicken parm ever oh my god and the fusili scallop mushroom pasta which was just perfect. We weren't going to get them immedialty but after our food arrived we decided to add on the fried artichokes which were such a fun and delicious side. Overall such a lovely meal! 4 star because pasta was small portions but still delish read more

a Mano is hands down my favorite Italian restaurant in Atlanta. The food is amazing & I love sitting out on the patio with a bottle of my favorite wine (BYOB, with a corkage fee) and enjoying perfect pasta. You can people watch. You can catch the sunset.

Everything was perfect! Service was excellent and friendly. Food came out really quick and cocktails were delicious. I had the garden snake and would totally recommend. Mussels were too good and were served with focaccia. It can be a bit loud at times but great vibes. And the patio looks like a cute place to eat in the evening. The espresso caramel from the tarte was amazing. Definitely recommend making a reservation. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Amano is an excellent Italian restaurant with seasonal flair. We had lunch there and all items were very good. Our server was very knowledgeable and helpful, very friendly. The restaurant has an old bungalow vibe with seating both inside and outside. Burrata was fresh with mildly spiced tomato sauce and balsamic which came with delicious sourdough. Tomato soup was delicious. Fig salad is just the perfect combination of greens and sweets with house made dressing. Definitely recommend for any occasion because the food is just perfect. read more

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 read more

The restaurant has a lively atmosphere and a welcoming space, especially if you enjoy dining outdoors. Service was prompt, and everything arrived without a long wait. A few menu items were enjoyable, and the desserts were a nice way to finish the meal. That said, the main dishes didn't meet expectations and lacked the flavor and quality I was hoping for. The dining room can also get fairly noisy, making it harder to fully enjoy the experience. Overall, it wasn't a bad visit, but with so many other dining options available, I'm not sure this would be my first choice for another meal. read more

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. read more

A mano is easily one of my favorite restaurants in the Old Fourth Ward neighborhood. We celebrated my husband's recent birthday with them and they really made us feel special.

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. read more

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! read more

a mano is a quaint and homey Italian restaurant! The vibes are very intimate inside and the servers were really friendly. Our food came out pretty quick (and we arrived kind of late in the night so big props to them for accommodating us). We ordered the Burrata, Pesto e Pomodoro, and Aglio e Calabrese. The Burrata was pretty yummy for a starter dish! I was not a fan of the tomato jam that it came with, but the grilled sourdough and burrata were delicious together. As far as the Pesto e Pomodoro, I was expecting it to come out with green sauce but I did not fully look at the menu and it was actually a more red sauce (sun-dried tomato pesto). It was a good dish, but not my favorite... I really liked the Aglio e Calabrese! It tasted so buttery and garlicky, although I am unsure that this dish had butter. But it was extraordinary! We also ordered some wines that were good and not too strong. Overall, a mano is a lovely place to go to for Italian food! I would come back here again just for the Aglio e Calabrese. read more

I really enjoyed this restaurant! I recommend making a reservation. They have indoor and outdoor seating...be mindful there's more seating outside than in. But, they have those cool tabletop fans that are perfect for dining outside. We started with the beet salad, which had goat cheese and blackberries. It was surprisingly light. Our server was very friendly helpful. He answered all of my questions. He also gave recommendations. For my meal, I had the pesto e pomodoro with the gluten free fettuccine. It was amazing!! I was dining with non-gluten free eaters and even they said it was great!! We shared the charred cabbage. I have to try and make this on the grill. I had the chocolate torte. It had espresso powdered sugar over homemade whip cream...yummy! I can't wait to go back!! read more

$20 for lunch, but it was the size of a kids meal. I couldn't believe how small the portion was -- my coworker said even a toddler would still be hungry.

Obsessed with a mano!! I was on a solo trip in Atlanta and was looking for some Italian food when I came across this spot. I loved that I could just grab a spot at the bar (for some reason, I always feel bad taking up an entire table when I dine out alone!) and the bartender was friendly and helpful. I ordered a glass of wine (ok, two) and started with the burrata appetizer. Was in incredible? yes. Did I eat the entire thing by myself? Also yes. Highly recommend not sharing the burrata. For my meal, I opted for the Cacio e Pepe and mmmmmmmmmwow. It is delivered to you just covered in a mountain of cheese with instructions to mix well. For such a simple dish, it really is incredible when it's made correctly! Looks like this spot would be better suited for a nice date night or for a small group of friends. Though, perhaps bigger parties could be accommodated outside. If you're scrolling through reviews trying to find a good spot, stop here. Trust me. read more

a mano is here to impress once again. We were back in Atl for a brief visit and had to drop by a mano. The little stand alone building with warm, dim lighting makes you feel like you're walking into a cabin in a winter forest. I would recommend making a reservation as they are always packed, even for week nights. We ordered a flight of amaro, which our server graciously volunteered to pick for us. The three pours were intriguing, to say the least. Extremely herbaceous, punchy, and full of character. Definitely takes a bit to get used to, but a wonderful experience nonetheless. We also got a burrata for appetizer and two pastas. The miso carrot pasta was garlicky and slightly bitter from the kale and carrot, giving an Asian flare to the Italian dish. It was also our anniversary, and the staff at a mano gave us a card with adorable personalized messages, celebrating the occasion with us (card not pictured for privacy purposes)! If you are celebrating a special occasion, or just looking for a delicious bite, then please, give this place a try! read more

We did not have the best experience here, and we were very much looking forward to it initially! Maybe we just ordered wrong. If you go, I would not recommend the items that we had. The fig salad was fine overall. The figs did seem dried out though, and old, and there were very large hunks of fontina cheese which I thought sounded good, but it was a little much when you'd get it in a bite. The charred cabbage was pretty terrible. It came out very watery and slimy. The toppings were salty and added a nice texture which helped a bit, but the cabbage itself was just really bad. The pasta I got was very boring. Pesto e pomodoro. I don't think it's on the menu very often, it was hard to find the name of it when I went back to look at previous menus. The eggplant parm was cooked well but just completely lacked seasoning. The wait staff however was great! We were at a bar table, so it was the bar tender who took our order. He was nice and attentive. He comped the eggplant dish when he realized we did not care for it. He did not tell us before had that he was doing that, just politely removed it from our tab. The place has a good atmosphere. It seems like it would be a different experience at each section, as there are multiple floors and dining areas, which is an exciting concept. Our meal was honestly just not good. However, i would try this spot again potentially and order different things! read more
