We were excited to visit the new TRATTORIA A MANO because we’ve had fantastic experiences at parent restaurant BOUCHE. Unfortunately, the food quality was disappointing. For starters, my wife ordered the Calamari Fritti and I ordered the Insalata Tricolore. The Calamari dish had a delightful lemon-aioli-pepperoncini sauce over arugula, which was deliciously spicy – although the calamari were much smaller than we expected. My Insalata Tricolore was dry and bland, but saved by the tasty oven-dried tomatoes; it improved when I added some olive oil table dressing. For main dishes, we ordered the Grilled Branzino and the Veal Picatta. My wife’s Branzino entrée was perfectly seasoned and cooked – and absolutely wonderful! My veal entrée was not as appetizing: the veal was tough, the spaghetti was undercooked, and there was hardly any aglio e olio sauce. So I added a tablespoon of olive oil dressing to make it more palatable. The Hazelnut Opera Dome dessert was really good, including the dramatic presentation with hot chocolate sauce. Atmosphere is ideal for intimacy or conversation, our server Amber was excellent, and prices reasonable. A good restaurant, but go for the seafood.

The food was very very good. Pictures include: The calamari appetizer, the beet and farro appetizer. Main course was a pan crusted cod and chicken marsala. Dessert was lemon canoli. Not pictured was the chocolate dessert with toffee and seared pears because everyone ate it so fast. Six adults dined that evening, ALL 6 were very pleased, not one complaint! The service was even better. Such a cute restaurant yet modern. Cozy chairs make it hard to leave. Bicycle art and other touches catch your eye consistently. You can watch the competent folks,working hard in the open kitchen. They offer a unisex restroom which I think is great! It’s located close to the Lensic so its perfect to eat there before a show. Go and enjoy it.

My husband and I live in Santa Fe and consider Trattoria a Mano to be one of the best restaurants in New Mexico. Choose any of the house-made pastas and don’t skip dessert – they are great! If you’re fortunate enough to have Ari or Clay or Elise available to help with the wine list and menu, let any of them assist with the difficult choices. I usually order the Citrus Salad and Stringozzi ala Chitarra (similar to cacio e pepe) and have never been disappointed – both are simply outstanding. The Indigenous Prosecco is a very good value for the quality and excellent pairing with several of the pasta and seafood dishes. As a local, my husband and I know we’ve found our “go to” restaurant in SF for really excellent food and service. Get a reservation if you can (although they do take walk-ins) and don’t be surprised if you have a short wait – diners tend to linger here to have just one more bite of dessert:)

Popular place for dinner. We made reservations a day ahead and still had a late sitting but it was worth it for the food. We had chicken marsala and shrimp scampi. Food and service was excellent.

What a lovely place! We had the carpaccio which was excellent! It has fried capers which are delicious and quite salty so don’t salt before you try. Then came the Gorgonzola pear salad that was light and excellently dressed. Our waiter recommended a Riesling, more expensive than what we budgeted but worth it and perfectly paired with all we ordered! Next came the Saffron lobster pasta. I would have preferred a cream sauce rather than tomato but it was still delicious. For dessert, we chose the calamari and were pleased. Service, food and atmosphere were stellar!

Service and atmosphere was very good. Wine and desert where also good. Unfortunately we came for dinner not just wine and atmosphere. We had the lobster pasta and the another very plain pasta dish. My first thought was the portions where incredibly small. They make their own past daily, which should just be expected for a place like this but I almost felt it was some reason for the price and size. The lobster was tough and rubbery and both sauces where very tasteless and rather boring. We split a salad, one glass of wine, 2 entree’s ,a small desert and it was $100. I was hungry again in an hour. If you’re looking to pay Santa Fe prices for mediocre food this is your place.

This was our first time eating at Trattoria A Mano, but it won’t be the last. We were greeted promptly when we arrived and told there would be a short wait for our table. They gave us complimentary wine while we waited and made sure we were comfortable.

The lobster pasta was amazing, had the right amount of spiciness to it.

The food was good but way below our expectations. Out of 4 dishes ordered 3 were very simple in a way that you can easily cook it at home without much of an effort or any special ingredients. For the price we payed we expected more of a restaurant experience rather than a home made dinner. Again, delicious but simple and expensive. The service was great though.

My friends brought me here for my bachelorette weekend in Santa Fe. It was outstanding! Right when we entered, the hostess greeted us and asked who the bride to be was. Upon being seated, we were all given glasses of champagne. The wine recommendation was stellar, and the food to die for. I’ve never felt “special” going to a restaurant, but I definitely felt this way here. Thanks so much for making my time with my girlfriends even that much better!
