Came here for a lovely brunch, with friends highly recommend.
The portion size is just right so that you are full but not feel stuffed.
I also highly recommend their focaccia, it was so soft and fluffy paired with their Olive spread it was so divine.

In a fantastic neighborhood for a full night out, this place has a casual vibe while remaining bustling and energetic.
Parking can be tricky, however, so maybe ride share or use public transport, or be prepared to walk a few blocks. Chicory salad was a stand-out with the tuna crudo.
Pasta tasted fresh, perfectly chewy and sauces flavorful.
I have a sense any sauce/preparation would be great here.
Good vegetarian options.
Excellent cocktails.

Party of four light lunch on Friday.
We happened upon a Mano walking around the Hayes Valley district.
All of us were just moderately hungry, but we wanted to enjoy the beautiful weather with a light lunch and a Mano was the perfect choice.
It wasn’t very busy and we were able to choose a seat in their outdoor dining section, which was very comfortable and well protected from traffic and pedestrian flow on the sidewalk.
We opted to order a few items and share, which included the Chicken Polepettine (meatballs) and cauliflower from the antipasti portion of the menu and the mushroom pizza from the pizza portion of the menu.
The server said the meatball appetizer portion was 3 meatballs, but they added a fourth so each of us could have one - they were perfectly cooked, tender, flavorful and served in a mildly spicy marinara sauce with 2 toast points.
The cauliflower appetizer included roasted cauliflower with a mildly spicy lemon chili sauce that complimented the cauliflower perfectly.
For the main, the mushroom pizza had a very thin crust with a lot of flavor from the mushrooms, shallots, sage crema, and garlic - a great combination of flavors.
Lastly, we also had a small dog with us and the server brought him a bowl of water, which was a very nice additional level of service.
Highly recommend this restaurant!
