Superior salads in Halifax
Walking along Halifax Harbour’s boardwalk? Turn into Bishop's Landing and grab a seat at the loud but appealing Ristorante a Mano. Large circular tables are packed together, the ceiling is low and there's not much to absorb the noise, so raise your voice and get into it. This is traditional Northern Italian fare, and the stand-out dish is the warm roasted chicken salad with pancetta – the grated pecorino gives it a nice kick. If something lighter is called for, the red beet salad with hazelnut is a great choice. All the salads here are available as appetizers or mains.

A night out in Halifax – with pizza!
Ristorante aMano is the most affordable of the Bertossi Group restaurants (Bicycle Thief, il Mercato, La Frasca), but you can expect the same lively ambiance and Italian flare. The pizzas are made with San Marzano tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, Italian meats and fresh veggies. aMano strays from the popular Neapolitan style, using a machine to roll their dough and spiking their sauce with dry and fresh herbs. The crust is very thin and crisp, with flavourful sauce. You can sit at the pizza bar and watch the pizzas being lovingly made. For dessert, don’t pass on the handmade gelato creations!
