a mano

Bongiorno!

I’ve always believed the people who help build a mano should have the chance to help lead and own its future. Today that’s real. Bethany, Will and David are now owners of a mano!

Each of them walked through our door as a member of the staff. They learned this place from the inside, and they grew — through hundreds of services, hard nights and good ones — into the people who lead it now. Bethany joins us as Managing Partner, with Will and David as partners alongside her.

a mano was always meant to be a place where people leave better than they arrived, our guests, and the people who work here.

Thank you to everyone who has sat at these tables since 2017. Each of you and each of our staff members have been a part of making a mano a restaurant worth carrying forward for many years to come!

Bucatini alla Ragù 🍝✨

Delicious bucatini tossed in rich, savory ragù, topped with creamy ricotta and fresh basil. Pure Italian comfort in every bite! ✨💛

Come in tonight to enjoy this yummy comfort pasta 🍝

The Roman Sandwich is calling! House made focaccia, melty mozzarella, pesto, tomato jam + balsamic reduction. Add prosciutto to beef it up, and don’t forget the tomato basil soup for the ultimate dip. 🍅🥪

✨🖤 Black Manhattan 🖤✨

A little dark, a little sweet, and oh-so-smooth. Rye wh***ey, Foro Amaro, house root b**r cordial & a kiss of absinthe.

It’s love at first sip. Consider this your sign to get Manhattan-ly obsessed. 🍸

TODAY IS THE DAY. THE DAY YOU’VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR.

Chicken & waffle sandwich. Homemade waffle, beautifully fried chicken, candied bacon, and maple syrup.

We tried the other guys’ version. Cute. Anyway, we made ours. 😎

Get it while you can. These are gonna go FAST.

Meet Hunter! He’s been part of our serving team for 2 years now! Reliable, charismatic, and always fun to have around. We love having him on the team!

Here are some of Hunter’s favorite things and some fun facts! (Also a surprise photo of his pup tequila 💛)

-Favorite part of the job- family meal, it definitely feels good to know that the company never wants any of their staff to go without a meal, plus eating with all of your workers everyday creates a bond with one another.

-Favorite hobby- Experimenting with sounds, if it produces feedback and has k***s on it, you’ll find me sitting over it for hours seeing what kind of cacophony I can summon

-Favorite cocktail- The Black Manhattan! Im a huge fan of absinthe and root b**r, everything about that drink checks all the boxes.

-Favorite animal- I love all types but hands down, it’s dogs. I’m a big fan of the unconditional love from my little snaggle toothed chihuahua, Tequila.

-Fun fact about me- Im a huge collector of physical/analog media. Tapes, records, cassettes, They just don’t make em like they used to! Way more phone than pushing a button on your phone or remote. 10/10 would recommend.

We love you Hunter! Thank you for being you! 💛✨

Prosciutto e Melone 🍈

An elegant interplay of sweet, savory, bright, and herbaceous.

Built with our house made prosciutto washed tequila and house made cantaloupe cordial, this cocktail draws out the natural salinity of prosciutto while bright, zesty lemon brings everything into balance. A delicate finish of basil oil ties it all together with a fresh, aromatic finish.

Sweet. Salty. Zesty. Perfectly balanced 💛✨

A plate that feels like the perfect expression of the season. ✨💛

Pecan crusted red trout, delicately crisp on the outside and tender at the center, paired with peppery arugula dressed in a bright, delicate vinaigrette. Finished with rotating seasonal goodies that bring a little surprise to every bite. Nutty, fresh, vibrant, and beautifully balanced.

Simple ingredients, thoughtfully composed, and a dish worth savoring.

Lunch plans? We’ve got you covered! 😋

Come enjoy lunch with us from 11 AM–2:30 PM! Whether you’re craving a delicious pasta, a hearty sandwich, or keeping it light with a fresh salad topped with grilled chicken, there’s something for everyone. ✨💛

Bring your appetite, grab a friend, and make lunch the best part of your day!

See you for lunch! 👋

The Extra Virgin Sour 🫒✨

Olive oil washed vodka, lemon, vanilla, olive oil cordial, and a touch of salt.

Not your usual sour. And that’s kinda the point 😉
