"For a date in Fairmount, you can’t do much better than A Mano. Everything they do seems effortless, from the upscale, but still somehow casual feel of the dining room to the food, which tastes like it was made in a back-alley kitchen in Florence, but looks like the stuff you’d find in the most expensive and technical restaurants in the city. There’s a lot of good pasta on this guide, but is there really any better food to eat during the winter? And when it comes to pasta, A Mano is the spot to beat." - sydney mcelwee
