A pasta project from Eat Well Hospitality

10/28/2026

Seven pasta classics always available at Mano a Mano-- just ask your server!

Alla Gricia: from rural Lazio, the ancestor of Amatriciana, just without the tomato.
Alla Nonna: “grandmother’s pasta.” Comforting and homestyle, and it changes from region to region.
Nerano: from the village of Nerano on the Amalfi Coast, velvety and rich.
Limone: from Ravello on the Amalfi Coast, bright and citrusy
Aglio e Olio: a Naples tradition that shows how far a few simple ingredients can go.
All’Amatriciana: named for the town of Amatrice, bold, hearty and a staple of Roman cooking.

Con Alici (not pictured): melted anchovies, garlic and olive oil make a savory sauce.

Send this to the friend you’d split a bottle and three pastas with.

Which one’s your favorite?

Basilicata comes to Mano a Mano on Thursday, October 22. This month, the Classics Dinner Series travels to the instep of Italy’s boot for the rustic cooking of Basilicata.

Baccalà mantecato is creamed salt cod finished with toasted breadcrumbs and peperoni cruschi, the sun-dried sweet peppers of Senise. Bocconcini di agnello is lamb stewed with herbs, w**e and vegetables. There’s also handmade fusilli with slow-cooked wild boar ragù, uova in tegamino al tartufo, and calzoncelli lucani to finish: little Basilicata pastries filled with chestnut and chocolate cream.

The full menu is on the last slide.

$68 per guest. Limited seats. Book through the link in bio.

Mano a Mano doesn’t have an open kitchen… so Chef Doug commissioned a tiny one.

Every other Eat Well concept lets you watch the cooks at work. For our Logan Square trattoria, Doug went a different way and asked Margie Criner and her team at Chicago’s Itty Bitty Mini Mart to build a miniature 1979 New York apartment kitchen, caught right in the middle of pasta night.

Look closely: eggs cracked into fresh pasta dough on the counter. Tiny tortellini, folded by hand. A fridge in the corner. And through the doorway, a dining room in deep greens and wood paneling, the same cozy, homey feel you’ll find at our tables.

In this reel, Margie walks us through how she and her team built it, piece by tiny piece.

It’s one of our favorite small touches in the restaurant. Next time you’re in for handmade pasta, come find it, then tell us which detail you spotted first.

Happy eggs cracked in a pan over foaming butter with our spinach mix, then into the oven until they soufflé. We flip them, brush them with béchamel, layer on the cheese, and send them back under the heat to gratinée — that blistered, browned top is the whole point.

Florentine — spinach, fontina, parmesan, pecorino.
Market — whatever mushrooms are best that week, fried crisp, with parma ham.

Both finished with toasted pine nuts and lemon zest, plus a small arugula salad with cherry tomatoes and lemon vinaigrette.

Mornings at Mano, brunch Saturdays & Sundays 9 AM - 2 PM. Reservations at the link in bio.

Handmade ravioli, from our hands to yours. Our raviolone brings together beef, pecorino, sage, and lemon, wrapped in fresh pasta rolled by hand in our Logan Square kitchen every morning.

Mano a Mano means "hand in hand," and that's how we approach everything at our Italian trattoria, starting with the pasta. It's simple, regional cooking made to be shared, the way it's done in Italy.

Save this for your next pasta night in Chicago, and send it to the person you're splitting a plate with.

Watch our blueberry pancake come together from batter to plate. Poured fresh, packed with Michigan blueberries, baked until golden, then finished with warm blueberry syrup and a dusting of powder sugar.
