" I came to Ristorante a Mano based on a friend's recommendation and it certainly lived up to the hype. We had the seafood linguine—which was so fresh and full of flavor—and the tiramisu for dessert. Each dish was beautifully presented and tasted incredible. However, I found the space a bit cramped, especially during peak hours, which made it challenging to truly relax. Despite this, the overall experience was great and I would recommend it to anyone looking for authentic Italian food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Ristorante a Mano is an Italian gem in Halifax! The food is authentic with rich flavors that transport you straight to Italy—especially the dessert, which I highly recommend! A slight downside to our visit was the wait time for our food, but it was clear that the staff was hustling to keep up with demand. The staff was genuinely friendly and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. A great experience overall, and I'll definitely be back to tackle more of their delicious menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Ristorante a Mano last week and was pleased with my overall experience. The seafood stew was flavorful, though I wished I had ordered the gnocchi after seeing other tables enjoying theirs. The portions were decent, but I felt they could have been larger given the price point. Our server was attentive and personable, enhancing our dining experience. I'd definitely come back for another try. " (*Curated Review*)

" I decided to stop by Ristorante a Mano for lunch one day, and I was pleasantly surprised! The portion sizes were generous—great value for the price. I ordered the caprese salad to start and then the gnocchi as a main. Both were delicious and excellent quality. Service was fast and friendly, and the atmosphere was bright and cheerful. I would say this is a dreamy spot for casual dining, hurry before it becomes too well-known! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Ristorante a Mano after hearing high praises from friends, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint! The flavors were spot on, and the authenticity was felt in every bite—especially with the lobster gnocchi! While the ambiance was lively and at times a bit loud, it added to the cheerful dining experience rather than detracting from it. Our server was knowledgeable and really seemed to enjoy her job, which made the service feel even more personal. I’m already looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have tried Ristorante a Mano several times over the years and it never fails to impress. The quality of the food is unmatched, with an emphasis on traditional flavors. This visit, I had the spaghetti alle vongole and the flavors transported me back to Italy. The staff are consistently friendly and efficient. The only downside was the noise level—it can get pretty lively during peak hours. I will definitely make this a regular stop when in Halifax! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dinner at Ristorante a Mano was a lovely experience. The appetizers were rich in flavor and definitely worth trying. I ordered the gnocchi for my main dish and it was simply divine. Just the right amount of sauce, and the portion was satisfying. The service was knowledgeable and eager to explain the menu items. The atmosphere was lively, but it added to the din of laughter and chatter, which felt warm and inviting. I plan to return soon to sample other dishes! " (*Curated Review*)
