GLADEWATER — Manni’s Italian Kitchen recently announced its first-ever location in Gladewater.

The restaurant boasting over 5,000 square feet, including a patio and two private rooms, is open and ready to serve Italian fare, or host an event.

The downtown Gladewater location will serve authentic Italian cuisine and seek to evoke the feeling of a family kitchen elevated with live music and experienced chefs.

Manni’s Italian Kitchen finds its roots in Manni and his wife Madison’s shared love for Italian cuisine, community, and one another. They envisioned a cozy place where first dates, celebrations, and the simple pleasures of family and friends could blend with the Italian culinary tradition. Led by Chef Romer Perez-Gillespie, every dish is crafted with care and passion, according to the restaurant. 

Manni’s authentic menu offers delicious choices such as great Neapolitan-style pizzas, a wide range of salads, panini sandwiches, chicken piccata, veal osso bucco, and a selection of desserts.

All options are available for dine-in, takeout, online orders through popular services, and catering for work functions or large family gatherings.

“I’m super excited about this project! Our goal is to bring a fun and friendly restaurant where you can come relax and enjoy a pizza and a beer or come for that special occasion and enjoy an authentic Italian dinner with a great bottle of wine! We will also offer catering as well as dinners in one of our private dinning rooms! I truly hope to see y’all there!” Chef Romer Perez-Gillespie said.

Manni’s also features a full-service bar.
