"Per the name (Italian for “by hand”), A Mano nails house-made pastas like lumache with corn and porcini butter in an elegantly simple Fairmount setting. The fantastic menu shifts seasonally, rounded out at times by such starters as roasted beets with whipped ricotta and honey grilled peaches with stracciatella plus mains including grilled branzino and chicken Milanese. To get the full experience, opt for the four-course family-style Abbondanza menu, and don’t forget to bring your own drinks for pairing." - Ernest Owens
