This was an outstanding find out in Long Island. We were vineyard hopping and found this restaurant. Everything we ordered -- Caesar salad, striped bass, chicken parmigiana -- was huge and delicious. I will definitely be back. read more

aMano Restaurant - Wine Bars Near Me - Mattituck, New York

Small tables, bland food. I never use salt especially at a restaurant and I had to put salt on everything. Extremely aldente pasta, jar sauce, flavorless. What happened? Has to be a new chef. I used to love this place. It's not what it used to be :( read more

VERY disappointing, only mediocre... My family and I have eaten at 'A Mano' a number of times over the past several years. Our most recent dinner there was Saturday June 3rd. This used to be one of our favorite places to have a great dinner at, but this time it failed in every area. There were just too many problems to be excusable.... We made a reservation and were asked if we wanted to sit inside or outside. We said INSIDE, but when we arrived and they sat us on the outside patio which had plastic walls/tarps and heaters to sort of protect us from the cold and wind. It was poorly sealed, not warm enough - the heaters did not throw enough heat, and the cold wind kept blowing through onto us through openings that they had not bothered to seal. Good service is about many things including details and communication. (They failed). So we asked to be moved inside, which they did. Once seated service was spotty form that point on. Took too long to get water and menus. And there was no water service after the first time until we asked them for it. Our waiter forgot to tell us the specials, so I reminded him to do so. Bread given to our table was ok, but the olive oil they provide at each table is the cheap light type with little flavor, etc. The meals.... My daughter ordered "Tom's Carbonara" which she has had there before. The Duck in it was a little overcooked, and someone in the kitchen had a heavy hand with the pepper for this dish this time! My wife had the "Sautéed Spaghetti Squash" with shrimp, tomato and broccoli rabe. Presentation on the plate was ok, but not impressive. The vegetables were seasoned and cooked decently, but the shrimp was VERY overcooked. My entrée was where they really failed - TWO times. I order the "Chicken Burrata." Presentation again was ok, but the chicken was VERY overcooked. Very tough or close to impossible to cut with a knife and certainly difficult to chew. I sent it back. And since my wife & daughter already had their main courses I didn't want to wait long, so I ordered the Bronzino (fish) which I knew would/should be prepared and served quickly. It was. Presentation on the plate was only equal to a diner. The fish was slightly overcooked, but not by too much. Seasoning and sauce was bland, weak, just not good. The overall attention and service to our table was poor, and overall the food was simply lousy. To sum up the food... Seasoning was basic and poorly done, they did not know how to properly cook any seafood or poultry. The only positive notes are that, we have had worse meals, and they did comp me on my second drink to try to make up for the problem with the chicken. To us, it seemed as though they have either lost their chef, or he had a really bad day there, or someone was filling in for him, and doing a VERY POOR job of it. But that only explains the food. The service has also gone downhill and not at all as good as it used to be. Looking at various (positive) reviews I have read about 'A Mano,' it appears that many people don't know what really good food is, or about serving & attention to details, or they may have had more than enough alcohol or wine to drink which has influenced their perceptions and memories. We go out to restaurants to have a nice time, enjoy the entire dining experience, not to get aggravated, disappointed and feel that we have thrown away our money. Suffice it to say, we are sadly crossing 'A Mano' off our list - we will not be going back or recommending to anyone. read more

I find it hard to discover a decent restaurant out this way. They seem few and far between. I have been wanting to try Tom Schaudel's Italian Osteria for quite sometime. The restaurant itself isn't as nice as I thought it was going to be. I can't quite place it, it's sort of rundown inside. Far from a dump, but not as enchanting as I envisioned. We started our meal sharing a pizza with sopressata and spicy veal sausage ($15). This pie kicked butt. The cheese tasted so fresh and the ingredients complimented each other like Tom Brady and Wes Welker. Went together without a hitch. Perfecto! I opted for the lasagna ($19) for an entree, it was average. The slice was a bit on the small side. It was packed with meat, but didn't dazzle. Overall it's a decent meal out in wine country. Expect to pay NYC prices and definitely order a pizza. That appeared to be their specialty. read more

We liked the convenience, the decor, the service, and the food on a Saturday night following a day of sightseeing on the North Fork. aMano is a solid, sincere, and authentic Italian restaurant. We did have one question about what seemed to be an omission of local sea food on the menu (though the Octopus could have been local). Here's the deets (Sat 09/03/2016): Octopus antipasta, 16: excellent grilled octopus, some sliced and some chopped, with salad and potatoes. Spicy veal sausage pizza, 15: good, but we prefer Patsy's to this Rib-eye, served Florentine-style, 39: excellent Bedel Rose, bottle, 37: A lovely local wine Ice Cream Sandwich, 9: Pistachio ice cream between layers of olive oil cake; beautiful presentation, with strawberry sauce on the side, and dark chocolate sauce drizzled over Prosecco, glass, 14 TOTAL, 130 TIP: The zeppole looked like a good dessert, too read more

My last review not the best but most fault to food or Adam Back tonight holy cow have to sell my house and move closer! Wait no I will be 400 lbs!! Service amazing Food rediculously great I had to move my plate to the other side of table to stop eating and then I still did the reach ! Adam you and your gang our the tops I can't rave enough!!! One request please always have room for us read more

We've passed by A Mano dozens of times but never stopped in.... On this night we were tired of the same places in Mattituck and decided to roll the dice- glad we did! Before seating us the hostess warned us that there was a large, loud group in the front of the restaurant and maybe we wanted to sit at the bar or outside? I appreciated the heads up and her anticipating that we may be unhappy seated near a loud crowd. We sat outside and received quick and friendly service. We had the short ribs and meatballs which were very good. Did not try the pizza this time.. When we got the check, we found that we had been double charged for one item, and when we pointed it out they went to great lengths to apologize and make it better. We will be back and will try the pizza! read more

Food was delicious, service and staff were even better! Cute and very accommodating restaurant!!

One of my favorite restaurants. Everything is always excellent. Amano spritz is amazing. Pizzas, pastas etc. I've never had a bad meal here

One of my close friends told me about this restaurants if I ever was in the area.... I came in with very welcoming feeling and got seated on Time.. We ordered a few specials and two main dinners. The food was great and the service was wonderful. I will definitely visit again when I'm around the area read more

Amazing place, cozy atmosphere, delicious food and great quality wine! Planning to come back! Thank you guys for being open during this times read more

My boyfriend and I stumbled across this place while searching for a place to get lunch while staying at his summer home. We were celebrating our one year anniversary, and I'm so glad we found this place! The food was so amazing and I have been dying to go back. We got two pizzas and a lemon garlic shrimp pasta. I also got an aperol spritz to drink which was very good. Love this place! read more

We come here almost every week. We like to sit on the grass rather than under the overly bright overhead lighting under the canopy. The pizza is absolutely delicious and it's the best Caesar salad on the North Fork. My wife loves the cacio pepe gnocchi and they have a great selection of wines to pair with the food. A local gem. read more

Outdoor seating was nice. We went with our baby and he was comfortable. We ordered a pizza, which tasted fresh. read more

Very disappointed in our dinner last night. The service was really slow and 2 out of the 3! dinners at the table were below average . The "Sunday Sauce Rigatoni" was dry and served with cold meatballs .The rigatoni pasta in this dish was over cooked as well . The special seafood pasta was also not a good meal . This was also dry and over cooked . The salmon was good . I live near by so I'm hoping this was just a bad night , read more

Went on a whim, and overall was very disappointed. From the beginning the host was very unfriendly, and offer to show my boyfriend and I, "a table no one likes to sit at". We decided to take the table since it wasn't as bad as she made it seem. Granted it was a holiday weekend, her attitude and negative connotation left us with a horrible first impression. Fortunately the service improved slightly, but it was nothing to rave about. Salad was mediocre and the honey fig burrata tasted like yogurt. The only saving grace was the tomato basil mozzarella pizza. The pizza was truly delicious. But is not enough to get me to come back. read more

Last time i went here the pizza went really down hill and was super dry, was really disappointing since all the other times had been good and i was expecting that same quality. Maybe they were having an off night but it was during the off season during the week. Havent been back since :( read more

Sailed to Mattituck from New Haven and was looking for a late lunch early dinner. Website indicated aMano would be open at 4:00pm. It did unlock the door without checking to see that there were 2 separate groups waiting outside. A couple was seated indoors. We ask for seating outdoors and were shown to a table in the sun. When asked about other tables in the shade were told they had reservations for 6:00pm fully 1 hour and 40 minutes away, which seemed like an adequate time to order be served and eat. We did finally get a smaller table in the shade. Only one other group arrived during our time at the restaurant and was seated at a table for 8, in the sun. This did not last long and they were moved indoors. The service was amazingly slow and indifferent to customers. The saving grace was the the food was good with adequate portions. The restaurant sits near a very busy and loud road. Not a fault of the restaurant, but it was annoying. I don't believe I would return. read more

The best fig and peach honey buratta I ever had.The pizzas are the perfect size for one person or to share with someone else.The outside patio is really nice and romatic setting.The shrimps were really good in the pasta dish I had.I used the yelp deal they offered so I got one free pizza for my table.I would come back here again. read more

We have been coming to Amano since they opened. I've lost track of the years. From Adam to Helen to Liz to all the staff at Amano, Alure and now Southold Social. These people know how to do business and make locals (and I'm sure everyone) feel like they have a place to go all the time. The service is best there is, hands down! The pizza at Amano and the macadamia crusted fluke at Alure are just icing on the cake(the chocolate bag is an adult and kid favorite). If you are traveling to the North Fork, choose one of these spots! They deserve the business and the loyalty. read more

Used to go there pre COVID and the pizza and food was great. Went last mont and got a pizza that was absolutely horrible. Asked why they changed the brick oven pizza. Was lied to that it was the same pizza. NEVER going back. Horrible pizza, horrible food. Must be different owners. Disgusting. Sad because I loved this place. read more

The food was delicious and the service was fantastic. The wine list was extensive. We got to enjoy a variety of mixed drinks as well. All in all a great place to dine. read more

Excellent home made pizza made with real pizza oven. Plus a variety of other dishes always. Reliable

This was our first time at Amano. We were pleased with our delicious dinner. We took advantage of the yelp check-in offer to get a free amano spritzer cocktail, made with prosecco and blood orange juice. We sat out on the patio in front. It is a nice sunny setting, but right on a busy and somewhat noisy road. The simple green salad was generously sized. The roasted beet salad had very sweet beets. The heirloom tomatoes were decent, which was fine considering it is not summer. The pasta entrees were all excellent. The highlight was the lobster papardelle, with a generous serving of tender lobster. The crab and shrimp linguini featured perfectly cooked shellfish. The dish was laden with garlic slices, so don't get this unless you are a garlic lover. The orecchiette with spicy veal sausage was hearty and filling. We all cleaned our plates. read more

Very cute restaurant with great service! We had the carbonara which was delicious and paired with a great red wine. I LOVED that they allow you to buy a bottle and take it to go. We had a glass each and then brought the rest home. read more

I stumbled upon aMano Osteria and Wine Bar after a full day of Long Island wine tasting... I'm happy we picked this place! Great Italian food with very rich flavors. I ate the Orrechiette with Spicy Veal Sausage, Tomato, Pecorino and it was delicious. I believe all of the pastas are homemade. I tried their homemade pizza which was great too. Very nice selection of local Long Island wines which is great! We sat outside on the patio under an umbrella.. cool patio area with a few tables. read more

What a gem! We started with happy hour at the bar! Great choice of specialty cocktails, wines and beers. Next we had pizzas....one with mozzarella/tomato/pesto,.... The other, broccoli rabe, prosciutto delicious! Another app that we enjoyed was the meatballs...2 large meatballs topped with ricotta and sauce. But the favorite dish that we had was the grilled octopus salad! What a combination...perfectly grilled octopus with potatoes, grapes, capers, olives, red onion and arugula! The best octopus salad we have ever eaten!!! I don't know how, but we did have room for dessert! The cannoli were delicious and they were made with marscapone and covered with pistachio chips! The piece de resistance was the chocolate 'bag' filled with bananas and vanilla ice cream! What a treat to find this restaurant! read more

The food is always on point and the atmosphere is relaxing. We've dined both inside and out and ordered takeout. It's one of our go-to's when we want something reliably delicious, local and good service. read more

Sorry, this one didn't make my list of restaurants I'd recommend. We felt rushed, my dish was lousy. (A lump of thick chicken breast that wasn't even pounded out ) no flavor- kind of got grossed out about it because it was so thick, and was hoping it was cooked all the way through. Although it must of been because it was so dry it was hard to swallow. Just a bad dish maybe? Not sure I'd go back because the service was generally bad especially for their prices. We had to order our dessert while ordering our entrees ??? Strange... Isn't it? ..the crowd was extremely loud! We could hardly have conversation at our table because we couldn't hear each other over the roar. Don't enjoy screaming at each other while trying to talk at dinner. I'll pass this restaurant there are too many others to try! Not recommended read more

Dinner here was good overall. Our waitress was wonderful. The cauliflower appetizer was delicious by the chicken parm was just okay. I wouldn't get it again. Tasty cocktails and nice desserts. read more

Absolutely awful service, I would not recommend going here at all! A group of us went in for happy hour on a Saturday for a cocktail and an app. The hostess/bartender was nowhere to be found and there was one other couple sitting at the bar. After 10 minutes of sitting there we asked the other folks sitting at the bar where the bartender was and come to find out she was sitting right behind us at a table with a vendor tasting wine. The fact she sat there the whole time and did not recognize the fact there were people sitting at her bar is disgusting! The least she should have done is acknowledged we were there! read more

Been to aMano twice in the last few weeks. My first visit was off the charts, excellent food and excellent service. Last night, Monday, August 9th, I brought a few friends, since it was such a great experience the previous time. The food was once again excellent, we enjoyed everything. Unfortunately service was not great. It looked like there were only two servers for the entire restaurant, inside and out. I will definitely be coming back, but hope the service is better. read more

Heading out to Long Island Wine Country? After hours of drinking, finish off your tour of the vineyards with a meal at this picturesque North Fork retreat. This quaint and cozy restaurant features tons of local wines, produce and seafood presented in an authentic Tuscan style. The vibe is casual and relaxed, with dining inside and on the front patio. Stop by for a glass (or a bottle...) at the wine bar, some classic pizzas or fresh, home made gnocchi. My favorite was the long island duck... it is awesome and local! The Scene- Relaxed and local... North shore all the way. Food and Drinks- 4: Stellar! Wouldn't change a thing. Super fresh ingredients! Tip Worthy- 4: Double the tax and then some... for a small place, they handled our large group of 12 very well. Coordinates- 3: City- 10 Minute Ride to Fun. Mattituck isn't exactly close, but vineyards, farm stands, plenty of shopping and even an aquarium are all close by. Restaurant Return Rate- Green light. See you tomorrow for a cheese plate and a bottle of Long Island Riesling on the patio. This review was written by Angela. read more

Judging by the old Yelp reviews, this restaurant used to be good. Something must have happened in the last few months, as indicated by the more recent reviews. My meal was not good. The focaccia bread (gratis) was first stale, and when replaced, was very bland. Honestly who returns free bread, unless it's terrible? The Cesar Salad was drenched in its dressing and light on parmesan cheese and croutons. Some anchovies would have been nice, but at least there was a large portion of salad. The Fettuccine Carbonara with "smoked duck" was disappointing, as the meat was rubbery and tasteless, which is why I put it in quotes. Was it actually duck? I couldn't tell. Also, the dish had too much butter, as evidenced by the large pool that collected at the bottom of my plate. The pasta was al dente, which was nice. Finally, the Chicken Parmesan was tasty and huge and served with a healthy side of rigatoni, however, there was a long hair discovered in between the chicken and cheese. Graciously, when this issue was brought to the waiter's attention, the dish was taken off of the bill. In the end, I took home the uneaten portion, so what does that make me? A hypocrite? Maybe. I would not recommend this establishment until it fixes it's quality control issues and returns to it's former glory. read more

Almost Caesar salad was good except the chicken was dry, the prefixes with pasta was okay. The prefixe pasta was cooked perfectly but the sauce was too salty, my friend and boyfriend felt iffy afterwards cause they both ordered it. They drank so much water! The mushroom truffle oil pizza was super delicious, just perfect!-- just about the only thing id order for sure again! The calamari had fried lemon wedges, that was amazing, first time I ever had fried lemon wedges LOVESSS IT & the salmon was just fine, nothing extraordinary. read more

We stopped by on a Saturday with the family. Adam was a sweetheart. What was even better was the carbonara ...holy cow. My wife had the chicken scarpariello and that was awesome as well. Kids had pizza. Top notch. Dessert!!!! Forget it. Out of this world. The chocolate bag was ridiculous. read more

Loved the food and the service. So nice, we went twice and will go again when we're in Mattituck again!
