You won't be impressed with the inside of the restaurant but sit and enjoy the service and the food. Out surgery was very attentive, we were the only ones there I guess it was early. A few more people straddled in shortly after. Pizzas were order all around. Two of the meat and one of pepperoni. The menu states that these are enough for two people. The pepperoni came out first and was oblong that my granddaughter said it wasn't a pizza it was an abomination! She's a pizza connoisseur. Hers came out cheese only until she said she found a piece of plastic in it. Server took it and the "piece of plastic" back and the chef said it was fennel. They made her a new one anyway and took her meal off the bill. No complaints regarding the meat pizzas and they had enough to take home. Now the bruschetta was absolutely delicious and fresh. I could have eaten that and the bread all night. They do the a bar. read more

Manni's is the type of restaurant where everybody will find something they like. It's great for date nights. It's great for family meals. It's just a great restaurant. I've been here a few times and these are my top 10 must order items in no particular order, Herbed potatoes Mushroom risotto Vegetable medley Parmesan polenta Roasted brussel sprouts Italian sausage stuffed mushrooms Manny's nachos The Italian stallion burger Italian cheese steak Pasta and pizza I'm a sucker for potatoes. Absolutely love them and usually order them at any restaurant I go to. The mashed ones here are so soft and creamy with just the right amount of of garlic, rosemary and thyme I absolutely love risotto and it's hard to find a good one here in East Texas. At Manni's they're doing something right because they're mushroom risotto is absolutely delicious. They use wild mushrooms, sauteed with white wine to make an absolutely delicious risotto The vegetable medley is a mix of zucchini, squash, cauliflower, mushrooms, and broccoli. Everything is sauteed perfectly in olive oil and it's a perfect addition to any meal Not many people like polenta. I guess it's an acquired taste, but I absolutely love polenta when it's done right. the polenta here is just perfect with the right amount of seasoning and parmesan cheese The roasted brussel sprouts are perfectly roasted served with a garlic aioli and a balsamic glaze that is mouth-watering delicious. They top it with crispy onion rings and pancetta to give you a nice crunch with each bite Stuffed mushrooms are anything but basic. They taste absolutely amazing and the marinara sauce goes perfectly with it Manni's nachos are such a wonderful Italian take on a Mexican classic!!! topped with cheese, alfredo sauce, artichoke hearts, black olives, banana peppers, and your of protein. Let's talk about that Italian stallion burger. First of all, I absolutely love burgers. They are my absolute favorite food item and I was so happy and surprised to see one on the menu. They use a Angus Patty top it with fried egg, provolone cheese, lettuce, tomato, red onion and banana peppers. This thing is huge and so delicious. Every item compliments each other so well that you get the perfect bite every time. Number 10 on my list pizza and pasta. Yeah I know they're two different dishes. They both deserve to be on my top 10. It doesn't matter what pizza or what pasta dish you choose. You are definitely going to enjoy every bite of your meal. read more

I came here for the wine pairing dinner and was blown away. The food was phenomenal and the pairings with the wine were well thought out. I was extremely impressed with how accommodating they were to my food allergies despite it being a set menu. One of the courses was duck with a plum sauce and it was out of this world. I will also be dreaming of the olive oil cake for a very long time. I'm so excited for something like this to come to Gladewater because it's hard to find fine dining options around East Texas! Can't wait to come back for another wine dinner! read more

See all

Have some really really great Italian food if you want authentic Italian food this is your place you want to go to

It was good but not amazing. I got the chicken fettuccine Alfredo. The chicken could've been better. The chicken was cut into very thin strips and not really tender. Unfortunately I've had pre-cooked frozen chicken strips from a bag that I've cooked at home that was better. The Alfredo sauce was good not the best I've had but not bad either. We also got the seasonal pear crumble. The Crumbl was cold, not warmed up at all, which is not normal for a Crumbl. Flavors could have been better. The mozzarella sticks we had were absolutely fantastic. One of my favorites I've had in a while. Tbh I'd go back just for those! The staff was super kind and helpful. We will be probably be back at some point to try some other dishes when we're back in town. read more

It was a bit busy and the kitchen was a bit behind. We were in no rush, and our waiter kept us in the loop. We got our bruschetta on time and relaxed, and enjoyed chatting while the food came out. We got our food and it was awesome. The waiter kept checking on us and provided drink refills as needed without requesting any. It was a very good experience. We will return to try out other dishes. read more

A great local spot. The vibe is chill, and the team here is friendly. I often swing by before heading to one of my in-home parties--it's the perfect place to fuel up before a fun night of helping people shop for a little spice and self-care. As a small business owner myself, I really value great service and local gems like this. read more

The food was good, atmosphere excellent we were able to talk and enjoy our crowd of 14 . Good drinks.

The food was good. But we had to ask for too many things that should be a given in an Italian restaurant, including bread with dipping oil, Parmesan and red pepper. Also, we were there on a Sunday, so the menu was pretty limited to brunch. The full menu is available only on weekdays. Hopefully this review will help make things better. If so, we would go back. read more

Excellent food, delicious bread, cute atmosphere and lots of options for the family. We will come back here again! The house salad dressing is really good too read more

Excellent food, service, portions, price, menu options. Can not wait to come back for dinner. Great looking wine list.

On our way north we stopped for the night at Antique Capital RV Park. Not wanting to cook after driving all day looked up restaurants near the park. After looking at menus we opted for Italian food and chose Manni's. We got there about 30 minutes before closing. The staff were friendly. Great music. Since we had looked at the menu online we already knew what we wanted and ordered quickly. Hubby had Spaghetti and Meatballs, I had lasagna. It was delicious! Highly recommend Manni's if you're ever in the area. I certainly will! read more

Excellent pizza, great menu! Fresh ingredients that you cannot find at local chains. We loved the pasta and the fresh pizza's. We have a variety of picky eaters with our family and each one just loved their slice. Hard to find such a fresh, authentic Italian place. We will come again and again to eat here. read more
