Reviews for Ristorante a Mano in Halifax, NS

Went there for a late lunch. Very decent environment and decor. We ordered two pastas and a salad, which were all well made and... delicious. My kids love the Italian bread particularly. Read more

Food was delicious but very small portions. I was surprised to order pasta that didn't come with bread. Our waitress was very... slow. I ordered a coffee to have with dessert. Brought out dessert and 10 minutes later brought coffee. No cream or sugar soI had to wait for her to bring that back as well. Really like the heaters with the outside tables. Stayed nice and warm ???? Read more

The wait staff were very knowledgeable about the dishes as well as friendly. The ambience was very comfortable. The food was... absolutely exquisite with appropriately sized portions. Definitely deserves multiple visits. Read more

This place is amazing. Authentic Italian cuisine. Fine dining experience. Cozy atmosphere. Great selection of wines. Food is... fresh, hot and proportional to the price. Recommended this place for the solo foodie adventurer or for that romantic date nightcouple. Read more

I haven't went here since I worked there and had gotten a drink at The Daily Grind first. I had a seat at the bar and got the... jumbo shrimp and schiatta. I had ordered the Jack Sparrow cocktail but it had pineapple in it. Sebastian made me something elsethat I liked more. I talked to a few people that I worked with and missed seeing. I ordered the banana caramel cheesecake andwow! It was amazing! Perfect way to end my meal. Read more

This place came personally recommended as one of the best Italian restaurants in Halifax. So we booked and expectations were... high. But the following happened: 1. Some dishes come with delicious sauces etc, but no bread is served... which is usual for anItalian. 2. There are lots of staff but our waitress gave us little attention and it was difficult to get her attention. We wereleft alone for some very long periods. 3. Asked for a Ginger Beer but got given not very tasty Ginger Ale on tap... no bottle.4. It was pretty noisy. The acoustics don't seem to be as good for dampening sound as they could be. 5. Ordered a pizza and itarrived lovely and hot from the wonderful pizza ovens, but it wasn't very tasty... somewhat bland. I tried to pep it up withsome spicey oil but that didn't help much either. 6. Had the banana caramel cheesecake which wasn't bad but couldn't taste anybanana. On the positive side the hazelnut ice-cream was some of the best ever experienced in Canada. Won't be going again.

THE BEST! We were enthralled with how good the food was. We ordered 2 appetizers, 3 entrées and 2 desserts; all extremely fresh... and delicious! Also the price was well worth what we received. We will definitely be coming back here again and again. Ourserver was very nice and attentive. The ambiance was very charming. Look forward to going back very soon and trying more oftheir amazing food! Read more

Just a wonderful place to eat. The food quality and presentation are excellent. This is a place where quality comes before... quantity. So do not expect huge portions but rather culinary excellence. The decor is very nice with a subtle upscale feelwithout being pretentious. The staff is well trained and superb. Would give them an extra star of I could. Read more
