A Mano, Philadelphia PA

My partner and I celebrated our 6th year anniversary at A Mano! The food was amazing and it’s BYOB! Even though I ordered the last salmon and it was given to the wrong table, they made it immediately right with us which I appreciated…and the branzino ended up being amazing! You can pick between 3 or 4 course dinner. We did the 4, and they brought us out a little candle with dessert.
1) Pork Shank over polenta
2) Pork Belly
3) Squid Ink Pasta
4) Ricotta Cavatelli
5) Branzino
6) White Corn Panna Cotta and Lemon Olive Oil Cake

Tucked away in Philadelphia, A Mano is a true Italian gem. The staff is friendly and well-informed, making the dining experience enjoyable.

The 3-course meal was a delight, featuring generous portions. Standouts included the roast pork belly, prosciutto, rigatoni bolognese, and braised pork shank. Desserts – tiramisu, olive oil cake, and panna cotta – were the perfect sweet ending!

Great little dinner spot in the Fairmount neighborhood of Philadelphia. The food was fresh and nicely prepared and the service was top notch. Our servers were friendly and helpful, and made our evening a very special one!

I was actually on my way to a restaurant nearby and say A Mano and had to look at the menu. Their 3 course option is VERY affordable for the quantity and quality of the food. The waitresses took the time to help me pair my appetiser and primi so I could have the best experience possible. I would absolutely be back again!

Go eat there. Seriously. And get the 4 course meal. Worth every penny! Everything was amazing!

Celebrated my 29th birthday here. We got the tasting menu and everything was great. Each item tasted amazing and it was BYOB! Place is pretty small but I liked the ambiance.

On my Birthday Friends took me to the restaurant! It was wonderful! We all did the 4 course meal. Everything was great, from our server Shannon, who had the perfect ability to listen to each of our requests and time the courses with such ease. I used to live 2 blocks from A mana and never had the chance to go. Lovely way to spend an evening with good friends and excellent cuisine. Try the Burrata Salad, Bronzino, Chicken Dishes. The Pastas were done perfectly. Giving 5 Stars, wish I could give 10!

Delicious BYO offering 3 or 4 course dinner options. Great service! This has become part of our regular rotation. Please note - most items not offered a la carte.

A Mano is an under-appreciated gem, with some of the best and most unique Italian food offered in Philadelphia. The waitstaff is attentive, accommodating, and well-versed on the menu and the ins-and-outs of fine dining.

I enjoyed every portion of my 4 course meal, the portions were generous and I left incredibly satisfied. From the Late Summer menu, the peach panzanella, grilled branzino, and braised pork shank were our favorites, though everything was delicious. Our waitress recommended the ricotta cavatelli as well and it was incredible.

For dessert, we tried the tiramisu and white corn panna cotta and were not surprised to find them both delicious as well.

Don’t know why this place doesn’t have more reviews. Was a little apprehensive however everything was delicious, fresh, and vibrant. Pork shank was so tender you could eat it with a spoon. Pasta was very salty however the other flavors were good. The kitchen was tiny so everything was super fresh. It’s BYOB and small inside so plan accordingly.

Everyone was so lovely here. We got four courses and each was better than the last! The food was amazing, filled us up for two days! Worth every penny! Special thanks to Sofia and Shannon!

Great value for the 3/4 course pairing choices - food extremely crisp and cooked to perfection. Fabulous service with continuous replacement of silverware and empty waters

Excellent food and service, and a comfortable dining experience. Big portions & attention to detail by waiters. Highly recommended!

I ordered the special pasta, not realizing it contained rabbit bones. When I informed the staff, they assured me bones were rare and promised to remove them from my girlfriends dish, who also ordered the special. However, to our disappointment, she encountered bones in her meal as well. It seemed like a mistake since they removed the special from the menu after noticing bones in both our dishes. The resolution was a mere $15 deduction (the special’s extra cost) from our bill, which unfortunately impacted the waitress’s tip unfairly, given her lack of involvement in the bone issue. A reduction of $15 for the risk of broken teeth and the temporary removal of the dish from the menu raises concerns about the management and has resulted in the loss of two customers.
