Tucked away in the heart of Hayes Valley, his Italian restaurant, a Mano, serves fresh pasta, pizza, salads, and antipasti that are made a mano — Italian for "by hand."
Start with the grilled cauliflo…
visiting from Canada.
TAGLIATELLE al dente! it was like heaven in my mouth! a symphony of flavors dancing in my mouth!
MEATBALLS
Great texture (spongy and not too dense) they had just the right balance of moisture . Super savory and flavorful ! Very generous sized individual meatballs.
with the perfect amount of sauce. overall, I will definitely order again. very filling.

First time experiencing this dessert. very masterful interplay in the layering of flavors! my favorite part was the burst of flavor that hits after the initial bite.
BRAVISIMO to the hands that prepared all the food!

AGNOLOTTI was not good. it was hard on the outside and pastey meat. it was only 12 pieces. never again.
MAFALDINE FUNGHI was flavorless. creamy nothingness. more pasta than the AGNOLOTTI but tasteless and very little mushroom.

Just wow, spent $30 to receive bland food that was a terrible portion for the price. One thing I will praise is that the pasta was cooked perfectly texture-wise but the meal as a whole severely lacked flavor. Wouldn't order again

The flavor was good, but I don't think I've ever seen this small of a portion outside of a tapas place. For $25, I'd expect a meal. Will not be ordering again from here due to portion size (pictured below is my entire order).
