Amazing restaurant in Sirmione! My wife and I came here during our honeymoon, and it was a simply perfect experience.
The atmosphere at the outdoor tables around sunset was romantic and magical. The service was outstanding, and we especially want to thank our waiter, Luca, who took great care of us, was highly professional, and made the evening even more special.
The food was absolutely delicious, meticulously prepared, and beautifully presented. We started with a fresh green salad garnished with edible flowers, and excellent crispy bruschettas with cream and anchovies. For the mains, we had fresh pasta dishes: wonderful stuffed pasta and a fish tagliatelle that was cooked to perfection. Everything felt super fresh and high-quality, right down to the grissini breadsticks on the table.
Highly recommend to anyone visiting the area! A true 5-star place.
Lovely vibe, nice menu, good (albeit pricey) food. The highlight of the meal was the mussels, really fresh and flavoursome.
I don’t know if there was a change of chef/seasonal menu but there weren’t many fusion dishes which was what we expected. Nevertheless, food was good and atmosphere was great.

I found MANO completely by chance yesterday, and today I came back again. And honestly, I’ll probably be back tomorrow too 😂
The oysters are my absolute favorite. So fresh and delicious, and today they were cleaned so perfectly that there wasn’t a single piece of shell left inside. I actually walked along the waterfront today looking for oysters and ended up coming back here because most other places only offer full raw seafood platters, while I just wanted oysters.
I also tried the black truffle ravioli and the pasta with white fish — loved both.
And the service is another thing I really love about this place. One person welcomes you, the sommelier takes care of the drinks, someone else takes your order, and another person serves the food. Everything works so smoothly and naturally. It feels high-end without being pretentious.
If I could give this place 6 stars, I would. I came back two days in a row — and I’ll probably be back tomorrow too. That says everything. 🤍🦪

This is not as per other reviews. It is not small plates with an Asian style. It's mostly sharing plates that are very pricey and not to everyone's liking. Check the menu before booking and sitting down as it may prove a costly mistake. The service was very good and the food very nice but not all our party enjoyed the limited menu. The pictures are sharer plates which total almost 120 euros. We only got dry bread with no oil or balsamic to dip.

Everything was absolutely delicious. The service was some of the best we've had in Italy. The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that the menu us completely different from what they have online, which included lots of Asian fusion dishes and more creative options. The menu offered to us was traditional, all be it, a bit more upscale. It felt like we made a reservation at the wrong place, and it was frustrating.
