Our Story

"our three basic needs, for food, and security, and love, are so mixed and mingled and intertwined that we cannot straightly think of one without the other."
- Mary Francis Kennedy Fisher, Gastronomical Me

a mano is a neighborhood bistro; a place to enjoy a satisfying meal, drink, and good times with your friends and neighbors. Like the mom and pop trattori found across Italy, our simple and timeless approach is grounded in seasonal ingredients and traditional cooking methods. As with our approach to food, our mission is simple - to serve our community, not only through our food and beverage, but through hospitality and giving. Join us.
