Incredible Italian food. The pasta alone is worth a visit. Great atmosphere with friendly staff. By far the best restaurant in Fairmount. BYOB is a huge plus. I have been multiple times and it never disappoints.
The food was so-so. One of the pasta dishes was so salty it was barely edible.The website could have done a better job of explaining the 3 vs 4 course prix fixe menu; it turns out the 3 course is only pasta, so if you want a non-pasta course, you are stuck getting the 4 course menu, which is absolutely too much food.Lastly, it's great that it's a BYOB but we would appreciate the server asking us if we actually wanted to finish the whole bottle of wine before pouring it.Not planning to return- for this price, there are much better restaurants in Philly
Overall not worth a visit to this restaurant. Portion size are very small service is spotty. Once was a good restaurant, offering good value no longer.
Rigatoni Bolognese undercooked. Swordfish dry and doesn’t go well with seasoning. Appetizer was decent. Desert ok.

Excellent BYOB restaurant. Authentic food. The experience of the 3 or 4 courses is just amazing. Great service and attention. I would only suggest (if possible) to offer a smaller plates option of the same menu. Portions are abundant, so be sure to be hungry hehehe.
One of the best dining experiences ever! We got the pork belly, burrata, bolognese, mushroom lasagna, gnocchi, panna cotta, and tiramisu. All the food was so good! I couldn't decide between the gnocchi and lasagna and our server/the kitchen gave us a free gnocchi!! It was so sweet. 10/10 recommend and I will 100% be back.

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 polenta2) Pork Belly3) Squid Ink Pasta4) Ricotta Cavatelli5) Branzino6) 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!
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!

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!
