Mani Osteria

Staff was super nice. Portion and the freshness of Brussels sprouts were really good, we couldn’t finish it even though we shared it as two people. I liked the sauce they used in calamari. Pepperoni pizza was good but not exceptional. Indoors was quite cold for a summer day but overall it was a great experience.

I had a nice dining experience at Mani. My companion and I sat outside. Our server was kind and attentive. We ordered the whipped ricotta, (it wasn’t my taste but I’m sure others would like it if that’s your type of dish) the tomato vodka pasta and the supreme pizza. The food was great! My only feedback would be that the pasta portion size is very small, especially for the price. The pizzas are the best bang for your buck. Also, not a huge deal, but we were charged $1 for extra bread that we needed for our whipped ricotta. If you give someone a huge portion of ricotta and only four pieces of tiny bread, and you’re already paying like $12, I don’t think one should be charged for more bread. And we weren’t informed there’d be an extra charge. Overall, Mani was great and I’d come back.

The staff was courteous. We had reservations for a party of 7,including 3 children. As for the food, I've had better Italian food in A2. The pork belly was the best dish. The chorizo stuffed dates was good too. The crispy cauliflower foesnt compare to a similar appetizer from The Cheesecake Factory. The crab pasta was mediocre. So was the Supreme pizza. The pesto gnocchi was alright. The prosciutto arugula pizza was good.

Food: 4.5 Staff: 5 Environment: 5 We came for restaurant week and their deals are totally worth and delicious!! Everything tasted fresh and cooked/prepared well except for the grapefruit sorbet at the end (super bitter, just don’t try even if it’s on the regular menu). Our server was also super friendly and welcoming the entire time and the place had an amazingly lively atmosphere!

MUST VISIT if your looking for an excellent Italian meal. I've lived in Ann Arbor 3 years and kept walking past this restaurant because it's ALWAYS busy and now I see why. Our waitress Savannah was Amazing !! So polite. Great atmosphere for a date or going out with friends. I will definitely be bringing freinds and family here who come to visit. I highly suggest the fire roasted mushrooms as an apatizer or side
