Speaking for my breakfast run: The hot chocolate and coffee are always great, we've taken our time exploring the cafes in the area and this has become our weekly morning spot. Staff is friendly, always consistent and delicious drinks and sandwiches. When you can see your barista recalling nearly every person's order, you know you got a special place.

Came highly recommended from other restaurant staff in the city and did not disappoint! Great wine and pasta - forgot to grab my servers name but she was a total gem! Will be back again next time I’m in Montreal.

We were sitting at the bar area with the window behind us and we were just enjoying the atmosphere. With the pleasant chattering around us, it was still easy to talk to each other and have a great time. Soon later, we would keep getting bumped on our back though because the path is so narrow, people walking buy would hit us by mistake. That was a bit less pleasant and definitely made the experience less enjoyable. The service was fine. They weren't rude or anything but they were shouting at times and they weren't really patient or friendly for most of the night. The interactions just made me uncomfortable every time. On the other hand, the food was amazing. The salad had a lot of toppings which I thought were too salty but when eating with the lettuce, it complemented it so well. All the combination of flavours from the different ingredients made the salad so refreshing and enjoyable. The portion was also pretty large for only around 17$. I have seen salad half the size for 20$ or more. The pasta on the other hand was a bit small in my opinion, especially for around 26$. The flavours were quite enjoyable but a bit too sour for us. I did really enjoy the texture of the noodles though. They had great elasticity and felt so nice chewing on them.

NOVEMBER 1, 2025 A special visit to a special town deserves a special establishment — and Manu Cornuto is it. I was here two years ago, as you can tell from my review below, but it was so special again that it deserves an update. This visit with my daughter was filled with Montreal history, conversation, and, of course, Italian food — both on the table and in our discussions. We talked about how we prepare our food and reflected on how, in a city so deeply rooted in Italian tradition and filled with countless great spots, this place still manages to do it a little differently — and a little more special. Great night. Great service. Kudos. Will always return. SEPTEMBER 2023 We were going to do steak on our last night-this night, in Montreal, but, a chef-College teacher buddy told me about this one place out of the dozen he visited on his recent trip. We did arrive after telling our Uber to let us out blocks away, we changed venues last minute and I am walking wherever and whenever a chef tells me too! There was no lineup when we got there the place was packed. After being told on the phone that they did not take reservations I saw quite the opposite occurring. I probably should have asked properly, and perhaps in French when I called :-). When I inquired further about the reservation miscue, I was politely told one side of the room is reservable but not the other? Ok. “Can we sit at the wood”?, . . . Me. Me - “There are two spots open”. Her - “We cannot put three” Me - “it’s ok, it’s not to tight, and there is an empty stool nearby” Her - “I cannot do such” Me - “Cannot or will not” Silence. Ok, it was not that abrupt, what I had meant to ask was . . why?? Aren’t we all thinking it by now? I saw only two settings placed in front of the two stools taking up enough room for 4 people. I guess the restaurant rules in La Belle Provence don’t want people to touch elbows when “oui” snack. Oui, did get in quite quick though and WE were offered a drink, to which WE did order - 3 Peroni draft. Our table was outside on a great 22 degrees 6:30 late Autumn eve. The hostess placed our beers on table and two peeps approached; our server and what appeared to be the Sommelier! All are casually and comfortably attired. A wine is quickly selected, the specials are described, cocktails are also ordered and turnaround on all is swift. Of particular treat was the discussion with our young Sommelier (Tomas) on our choice of wine, its complexity and kudos to us for choosing. My brother asked how he had such knowledge, to which he politely and proudly replied “It’s my job”. Egg+face>older brother. We started with the special appetizer; tuna in a can essentially was explained to us - gotta be good yeah. You cannot believe how GOOD this was (all CAPS good, that’s how good)! Such few ingredients on top of quality tuna with a little bomba for flair. We order all of the appetizers in their menu-gotta be good again right. There are only four. But what a four, do the same as I and order all if you visit. We had the special pasta, and consistently repeated, few ingredients with impeccable execution. Something thicker than spaghetti, no hole throughout (so not bucatini), endive, butter, good bacon and herbs and Italian goodness. One more dish, the porc tenderloin it was our servers favourite. I can see why, seasoned heavy on this trip, but try it too. Special coffees (in this province=Americano coffees and booze on the side) add male camaraderie and banter, bs and bs related stories, loud, more loud then shushing, and closing with a shot with our server, My older bro - “you’re having one?” Server - “Yes!” Egg encore. One of the better meal experiences I have had in some time. Wonderful.

My boyfriend and I love coming here for special occasions. The food is pricey but so delicious! We always get the beef tartare (no foccacia needed). This time we got the crudo as well which was perfectly spicy. The beef bavette with brown butter was to die for! And the fresh pasta is just as delicious. We usually get the special which was the puttanesca this time and chanterelle campanelle the last. Everything is amazingly buttery. We always have a great time here.

Truly wonderful staff. Our daily special of pasta marinara with stracciatella was delicious, the sandwiches were extra yummy. Our server brought us a choice of wines by the glass to taste, and the special dessert was to die for! But again, their servers are simply the best!

Just had the Crudo di Branzino ($17) at Michelle’s suggestion. Has to be one of THE most perfect appetisers I have ever had. The flavours are exceptional and soaking up the aioli, bomba puree, pine nut, lemon, olive oil and Prosecco sauce with the freshly baked focaccia was just off the charts. And no, not paid for this review. It is that good

The welcome was terrible; I felt like I was bothering them. It was very difficult to reach them by phone. Not a restaurant suitable for couples (only the bar is possible). The decor and cleanliness were very questionable. I will not come back.

Fabulous Italian food!!! Have to book one week in advance to get seats for four people. All dishes look simple, but all taste so nice -- Caesar salad was the best I ever had; pistachio burrata was wonderful with home baked bread; pasta was chewy and flavorful… Highly recommend.

The food was incredible but the service was okay. It felt like they took a long time to flip their tables. Both the appetizer and the main took a while to get to me and it sadly took a while for me to get a drink. My waitress was also a bartender so I can empathize with how busy she was and how tough it may have been to check in on me. I noticed how the lineup to get inside was super long so i just decided to ask for my food to be packed up and ordered my dessert to go. Despite all of that, I had a decent time and I would definitely come back - just not on a busy night.

First visit (October 2025) - The pistachio burrata is really something extraordinary, would 100% order again. For the main I had the beef ceviche which seemed slightly too salty for my taste. For dessert, once again the pistachio coffee cake was very delicious. Second visit (March 2026) - The pistachio burrata is still amazing, tiramisu tastes great + service also very good. Had to reduce to 3 stars because their payment terminal suggested tip amounts based on the total including taxes instead of the pre-tax subtotal. This is not legal in Quebec as of May 2025 under Bill 72.

We had the best time at Mano Cornuto. Our server was the kindest and the Caesar salad was the best I’ve tried in a long time! Will definitely come back.
