You pay for the quality of the food. The prices are above average but the food especially the pasta is good and the dessert Burrata softserve and tiramisu. Prepare to spend if you want to indulge.

Went here for dessert and got the burrata gelato soft serve with balsamic and strawberry in a waffle cone, around ₱400+. This one’s better for sharing, not really for solo. It lacks toppings so halfway through you’re just left with plain ice cream. Still good overall, though I wish they added more toppings like how they do with the honey and honeycomb flavor where there’s some in the middle too. BTW i gave 4-stars for the atmosphere because the tables are so close to each other we literally had to whisper while this big group were so loud.

Definitely my favorite Italian restaurant in Metro Manila!!! So happy that this branch opened because it is closer to us than the BGC branch! It is our 4th time to eat in Amano, but I think this is our first time to get complimentary cheese sticks. It was delicious! Definitely going back!!!

The food tasted great! You can feel that they didn’t skimp on the ingredients. They had decent portion sizes for the price. I had such a great experience here! Our server, Dads, was absolutely amazing – wala akong masabi. His service was excellent from start to finish. Super attentive, friendly, and made sure we were well taken care of. Thank you for making our visit so enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Food was delicious. I particularly liked the fresh pasta. It would've been nice if it came with bread to soak the pasta sauce from the plate. We ordered two dishes. One came quickly and the other one we had to remind the staff. It was a Saturday afternoon, not so busy as they still have empty tables and lots of staff.

Service was great and speedy service despite the full house. We reserved a table beforehand so we didn’t had to wait so much. Also would like to commend the servers especially Dads who was very attentive with our needs and requests. Food was also good and was worth the hype. The steak was tender and flavorful steak sauce. Ravioli also is mouthful of flavor and rich chocolate Nutella cake.

Been hearing about a mano for years but never got to trying it because it will always have a line. Then we decided to randomly eat in their Shangri-La Plaza branch on a Sunday night and was quickly seated! We tried the following dishes: squash flower/fiori de zucchini- We tried this from another resto and we prefer this version better! The breading is thinner but still crispy; the cheese is so creamy that it’s almost runny but in a good way and not at all tiring in terms of taste. burrata caprese salad - We were craving a dish we love from abroad and was very particular with the burrata and tomato used in the dish. When we tried this dish, it was very close! The burrata was SO fresh and soft, tomatoes were juicy and firm although it was just 3 large pieces, and generous with the pesto and arugula servings. It was quite pricey but worth it for the quality. minestrone con pesto - My mom and brother enjoyed this as well! Only comment would be it was a bit oily and could improve by lessening it. uovo pasta - This dish was unique and creative, and they make sure the egg yolk is runny as they serve it. So delicious and generous with truffle. The cream inside was packed and flavorful without overpowering the sauce and the egg yolk. Would order again. diavola pizza - Wow the meat was sufficiently spiced that it was so flavorful with every bite of the pizza. We asked for chili honey and it was the perfect complement to the spiced toppings. The dough was thin and soft, tastes authentic. But what I’d really like to highlight is the service. The waitstaff are so attentive and accommodating despite the resto being full on a peak hour (!!!). Not once did we have to follow up anything. In fact, one of them, Roniel, had the initiative to offer a utensil since he seemed to notice my brother struggling to scoop the sauce from the pasta. We didn’t even notice that he did, he just came with a spoon seconds after. And Wowee also made sure that our water never ran out and checked in on us quite frequently. My family and I all agreed they their training is impeccable, and we have to also commend them for their attitude and service. I normally do not review local restaurants but we enjoyed the food and service so much that I had to share it!
