A Mano means by hand. The menu is filled with dishes that live up to its name.

Centuries-old curing methods like for the Guanciale (with pork sourced from MS farmer Justin Pitts) shows up in the Buccatini allAmatriciana, for example. Experience the art of Italian dining through a multi-course authentic meal. Or, savor the pleasures of the Italian table by sampling the array of salumi and nearly dozen tempting antipasti selections for a lighter supper. Modestly priced dishes at $18 and under encourage sharing and enjoyment of many exciting flavors.

While salumi is typically featured within antipasti lists, heres its given extra attention. A Manos Salumi aging room is visible to diners, and is stocked with house-made sausages and cured meats. Try several small plates, or the sampler plate Affetati Misiti, a dream for any charcuterie lover. Antipasti options range from Supli ai Telefono (Rice croquettes

Exquisitely fresh Gulf seafood preparations are available nightly. Pre-dessert options include Italian cheeses, some served with local honey. Traditional Italian desserts include Chocolate and Pistachio Semifreddo, and Cassata Siciliana.
