Meaning ‘by hand,’ A Mano celebrates the age-old Italian skill of handcrafting food from bread to pasta. Located in the beautiful region of Fairmount, A Mano is owned by Chef Michael Millon, whose delicious menu follows the seasons from the spicy heat of Calabrian summers to the hearty warmth of Italy's Alpine winters.
This cash-only, BYOB restaurant exudes a casual, laid-back atmosphere and a menu to match with a small variety of delicious antipasti, primo, and secondi courses – all of which fit onto just one page. Although small, the menu packs a punch with dishes like parsley cavatelli with escargot, apple char crudo, and pan-seared skate wing with artichokes and cranberries. For adventurous eaters, try the squid ink chitarra with sea urchin, mussels, lemon, and breadcrumbs.
