Went to Mano a Mano last night, an updated run down for restaurant week.
Restaurant week menu is interesting, you got all 4 apps (small bites), a second course (polenta was good) and a third course of pasta, and a gelato for $45. This was a good deal if you want to try a few things.
I’m going to say the focaccia di recco is way over priced. It should be closer to $14 🤷🏻♀️ It’s a thin flat dough, like a pizza crust almost, with cheese. they serve I think ciabatta with Calabrian chili butter gratis so if you want some bread, wait for this. We didn’t order but the mortadella sando was a little mini sandwich that came out of the kitchen piled insanely high with meat, probably a good option as well in lieu of the focaccia
Eggplant cutlet is insanely good (pictured). Can’t skip. Crunchy breading, zero sogginess here, craveable red sauce. Pappardelle was great, but the waiter told us pastas were largely portioned, not sure why they’d say that to sway you to buy less pasta but I thought they were mid sized portions at best.
The vibe was nice, casual and cozy. I’d go back for the eggplant 100%
