Best Family Style Restaurants in Melrose Park

Found this place thru Michelin’s distinctions and it was amazing! Every dish melted in your mouth! Highly recommend! Neighborhood gem! Must have reservations even on a Monday night.

Great food & atmosphere waiter was amazing ,attentive & kind lobster roll was flavorful and delicious.

It was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The food was delicious and packed with authentic flavors, and it arrived at our table surprisingly fast. The cocktails were well-balanced and refreshing, the perfect complement to the meal. Our waitress was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the whole evening even more enjoyable.

My wife and 4 of our friends dined here and we couldn’t have been happier with everything! The food was delicious, drinks were tasty and the service was impeccable. My wife has allergies to certain foods and our waiter worked with the chef’s staff to modify the menu for her! We definitely will be going back.

Our experience at Mano A Mano was fantastic! We went right as they opened on a weeknight and it felt so intimate. I was really smitten with the dim lighting and all of the furnishings--really beautiful space. Our server was sweet and had a very contagious energy, and everyone we spoke to was amicable and warm! The happy hour deal is the value play, for sure--the pizza you get when you order a bottle of wine is the best in the area (and there's TONS of great pizza a stone's throw away). It's chewy without being tough, the salt level of the cheeses was perfect, and the crust was perfectly crispy on the bottom. We also ordered two entrees and while everything tasted AMAZING (the bone marrow and short rib agnolotti were unique and perfectly al dente), we're big eaters, so we felt like the portions were a little small for entree prices. We were grateful that we'd eaten the pizza before our entrees! The tiramisu was fluffy and creamy, and the gelato we sampled for our birthday treat was delicious and custardy. The meal was very leisurely paced (in a good way) where I never felt rushed with too many plates on the table. We didn't have a single bad bite of food here, and we'll come back to take advantage of that happy hour deal again. Thanks for a memorable experience!
