They had THE BEST gluten free pizza dough. Anyone know how to get in contact with the owners? We'd like to find out if they're opening somewhere else. Thanks.

*A Mano = By Hand* Everything I’ve eaten here has shown attention to detail and some love as well, that’s the essence of great Italian food. Staff are polite, well groomed and efficient. Restaurant is well thought out, cozy and clean. The gorgeous Italian imported pizza ovens are a work of art and the pizzaiolos are skillful. The kitchen can produce all the classics plus a few original dishes that can impress the most informed eaters.

Good riddance! It's about time. Taking up valuable space.

This is perhaps the worst run restaurant I have ever encountered! It's like they deliberately don't want you to come back! It could be a very good pizza place, but the folks that work here seem to want it closed down! You can't even call for pick up because they don't answer the phone at all!! Move on! Who needs the aggravation!

Shared a delicious dinner with my family. My daughter and I had a delicious pizza and my husband had a delicious calzone.. The crust was amazing. We also had a lovely appetizer. It’s a great place to eat convenient to get to

When my mom and I arrived, we were one of two tables in the place. In the next 30 mins, the place filled up as we shared our salad (which we found a hair in btw- ugh!!!) and our pizza never arrived. It became increasingly apparent we’d been forgotten about. I flagged someone down and nicely asked about it. She walked away to check with our server who was sitting at the hostess stand texting (btw she was the ONLY server for the entire place, which is another problem). Not a single person bothered to apologize or update us and at this point we’d been waiting 45 min for a pizza that takes about 90 seconds to cook. Our Margherita finally arrived with a single sad leaf of basil on it. A little while later, my mom wanted another iced tea but we were unable to flag anyone down to get it. We even had to walk up and ask for our check at the hostess stand. Terrible, tone-deaf service for subpar food.. next!!!

This restaurant has been a favorite for good pizza for a while. I recently went here with another couple for dinner again and felt like I should review the great service and food we had. We sat at a both by the pizza ovens/bar and it was fun to watch them make pizzas. We ordered the fried dough as an appetizer which was very tasty. All four of us had ordered a pizza each. They are the perfect size for one person. It rivals some of the best pizza I have had before. Our waiter was super friendly and attentive. He made sure we were happy and enjoying our time here. We will definitely be coming back again soon!

I tried to order a business lunch for a company and obviously need delivery, called and spoke to Joe (assumed owner) that I was told on Monday they have special that buy one and get one free, he answered yes and limit to 3. and no delivery for anything free. However I will need 20 pies total, which means only 3 free and I still have to pay for the rest of 17 pies .so in case he can deliver for me. He then said absolutely no for free, I even offered delivery fee but he turned me down. Honestly his loss and very poor business mind. Definetely not recommend for any corporate or business use.Disappointed

Will never order from this place again. I ordered a eggplant parm with a side of broccoli rabe, calamari, and a pear salad. Waste of a 50$ dinner. To begin, my horrific pathetic excuse of a eggplant dish, it was very soggy and the tomato sauce was completely bland. The asparagus was watered down and tasted like it was just tossed in hot water with a hint of salt. Calamari was not crispy and very chewy and finally to put the cherry on top of it all, I found a baby cockroach in the marinara sauce 1/4 of the way through my meal. I was completely disgusted. Needless to say, I threw my whole dish out because obviously the eggplant dish sauce was the same as the sauce that the cockroach was in. Not only was the dish dirty but the delivery driver looked like he just woke up from a NYC subway. This isn't the first time I ordered from here and was disappointed, their pizza is nothing to rave about either. I just called the manager Jody to state my issue with the order, a normal response from a so called " manager " would apologize immediately and assure the next dish will not be a disgrace, but instead she had the audacity to say that " we don't have bugs in our sauce, maybe it came from your home". Unbelievable. Just another dirty overrated pizza restaurant.

Just had our team holiday event and it was perfect! Food was delicious and everyone was able to find something to enjoy! Laid back and casual with great food and we brought our own wine to add to the festivity. Totally affordable on a budget and yet didnt give that feel! Thank you AMANO for a great event!

Friendly folks. Great food!

I had the oysters, the fried calamari, and the margherita pizza. They were all very good. The employees were also friendly.

Unique ingredients in a delicious pizza, the best! Butternut squash with gruyere cheese, caramelized onions & crispy bacon

A Mano is an authentic Italian restaurant which brings out the true flavors of Italy. Their pizzas and pastas are something to die for. Also, their desserts are filled with good stuff.
