a mano

"This cozy, wood-laden neighborhood bistro in the Old Fourth Ward serves a tight menu of pastas with a bit of Southern flare on its menu paired with plenty of in-season vegetables. Order the classic cacio e pepe or try the fusilli with diver scallops, chard, and mushrooms tossed in a light cream sauce. A Mano also serves lunch and offers restaurant pop-ups in its parking lot on weekends. Grab a seat on the covered deck or on the front garden patio below while sipping cocktails or drinking natural wine." - Henna Bakshi

"An Atlanta staple, this cozy, wood-laden neighborhood bistro in Old Fourth Ward serves pasta with a bit of Southern flare on its menu, and lots of in-season vegetables, too. Order the classic cacio e pepe or try the pesto rigatoni with almond pesto, peas, fennel, garlic, fried vidalia onion, courgette, and a side herb salad. Be sure to check out the extensive amari list, which can be enjoyed before or after a meal." - Eater Staff

"While a mano might be known more for its pastas, cocktails, and wine list during dinner, the Old Fourth Ward restaurant serves an excellent lunch. Starting at 11 a.m., order sandwiches like the meatball parmesan, a muffuletta, or the pressed sandwich the Roman stuffed with prosciutto, mozzarella, tomato chutney, and pesto. Lunch here does include a handful of the restaurant’s most popular pastas, including the cacio e pepe and spaghetti and meatballs made with beef and pork." - Beth McKibben, Caroline Eubanks

"While it may be an Italian restaurant, a mano’s burger (currently only served for lunch) gives you the feeling that you’ve discovered the most unlikely treasure tucked into this Italian restaurant’s menu. They use a pretzel bun from Alon’s, freshly ground ribeye, melted gruyere, a homemade onion jam, and horseradish mayo made from scratch." - Beth McKibben, Alex Leo-Guerra

"The menu at a mano features an assortment of pasta dishes and Italian-inspired entrees. Pair a decadent carbonara, topped with pancetta, parmesan, spring peas and a farm egg, with a generous pour of Dolcetto d’Alba from the Piedmont region of Italy." - Denise K. James
