    Food was stellar but the table service was a bit abrupt. Twice the wait staff tried to take plates before we were finished with the food on them. That does not make for a relaxed, pleasant dining experience.
    Mano a ManoResponded on March 4, 2025
    Hi Christina, Thank you for your review! We’re thrilled to hear that you loved the food, but we sincerely apologize for the service issues you experienced.

    Go if you are up for pasta. There’s little else on the menu. Loved the zucchini flowers, the meatballs, the tiramisu and most of the pastas. The ravioletti were very oily and the lamb was a bit tough. Note that portions are a bit small. You want to try a few but it gets pricey if you’re hungry. Nice room, great server.
    Mano a ManoResponded on March 4, 2025
    Hi Bea, Thank you for sharing your feedback! We're glad you liked the atmosphere and service! We appreciate your honesty about the ravioletti and lamb; we’ll be sure to pass that along to the kitchen for improvement. We understand that portion sizes can be a factor when trying a variety of dishes, and we’ll keep your comments in mind as we continue to fine-tune our menu. We hope to be able to serve you again soon! Be well, The Mano a Mano Team

    From the moment we entered, the experience was fantastic. Dre, our waiter, was on point in both cocktail and food recommendations. The pastas were amazing. The drinks were fun and delicious. We will definitely return.

    The pistachio gelato is worth the visit in itself! The staff and service was very good and the broccolini was really good! A nice spot on North Milwaukee Ave!

    They sat us late but the hostess was sweet to come get us next door. There was no where to stand in the restaurant. The food was good but very heavy. My recommendation would be to put more protein options on the menu. The service was excellent. Cool space.
