   Had the tasting menu and loved it. They explain each plate to you and each bite was an explosion. The Carpaccio di Manzo and the Pistachio Gelato were the best

   Our first visit to ManoLibera was fantastic. Great service and an original and very fresh menu. My wife and I could not decide on appetizers so we had 3 - and each one was excellent. Main course was a truffle pasta andIa three tomato pasta - both superb. We have been looking for a great neighborhood restaurant and now we have one. Good luck Chef!

   I was planning on having Chef’s Marco’s Uruguayan ribeye, which I had previously and thoroughly enjoyed. Thanks to Carlo’s recommendation, veal chop was a special and it was exquisitely prepared with a perfect proportion of truffle and herbs. I was tempted to gnaw on the bone with my bare hands but didn't want to be an "only in Dade" parody. My dining partner had the Candele entre, a dry pasta from Gragnano Italy (a town near Naples Italy). Gragnano is famous for dried pasta, a 1000 year tradition. Gragnano pasta is recognized by the EU to be PGI (protected Geographical Indication) if it meets specific criteria: the pasta dough must be extruded through a bronze die, giving it a rough texture; must use high-protein Durum wheat; the water must be from Gragnano which is light in calcium and other minerals, and it must be dried at low-temperature. Carlo explained that not only is the pasta authentically Gragnano but also the tomato sauce (from 3 tomatoes) is also imported from Naples. Chef Marco’s preparation was delectable. Candele is supposed to be al dente; it was filling and a great value, considering the quality of ingredients and skill in preparation. Mano’s staff is warm and friendly. The hostess greeted us kindly and the staff is efficient and efficient.

   It was my first visit to Mano Libre, we went to celebrate our friend’s birthday! The service was amazing and the food was out of this world. I am not big on Italian food, don’t get me wrong I like Italian food but it is not the first choice that comes to mind when decided what to eat! This place really make me change my mind! We opted for the tasting menu which gives you a good taste of the menu! The fiori di zucca ripieni were amazing! The Sogliola Alla puttanesca was unbelievable, the fish was so well cook! Most definitely will visit this place again! 10/10

   The restaurant is very nice, seeing the chef finish each dish is impressive, the service is good, the flavor of the food amazing. I don’t like big portions but the portions here are too small. I ordered the scallops and they only include 2 when a normal portion at a high end restaurant is 4.

    Excellent food, atmosphere, and super helpful waiters. Even though the restaurant was full, they at least took the time to give us a brief explanation of the dishes. The cocktails were delicious. The pistachio ice cream was spectacular, although I think the price was a bit high. Everything else was great, I loved it.
