Manalu Italian Restaurant
As a little kid, my dream was to become a chef and open an authentic italian restaurant here in the USA. I spent so many years working hard and hoping that one day my dream will become true. Throughout the years my wife and my daughter have been my biggest support, in fact Manalu'was created to combine all three of our names : MA for Marco, NA for Naomi, LU for Lucia.

Our goal is to bring a taste of Italy and a touch of Naples in the town, by serving authentic italian food and the original Pizza Napoletana cooked in our brick oven. The traditional italian cooking in a true and warm family atmosphere.

Food and service were fantastic on a very busy Tuesday night. Owners visited our table to check on us - always a nice touch these days. Reservations are highly recommended. Don't be fooled by the location in a strip shopping center - this is a great restaurant.

My wife and I LOVE this place! It our favorite and "go to" Italian restaurant.
The food choices are many. The quality of each dish we have had is consistent and superb. And the bread is to die for!
And Marco, the owner, is both personable and appreciative of your patronage. We consider him not only an excellent chef but also a friend.

Great food, wine, and cocktails . It would be a good place for a date night . The service was on point . I will defiantly be eating here again. I had the Manalu steak and substituted noodles with Marsala sauce instead of potatoes.

Phenomenal dinner!! This (photo below) was the chicken piccata I ordered. - cooked to perfection and the mushrooms, capers and sauce was wonderful (normally would have taken a photo of it before i had tried it but it looked so good I couldn't wait - next time!). Service was excellent - we were seated as soon as we entered and Marcello, our server was very attentive just an all around great nice guy. Wish I had saved room for dessert because the menu was spectacular - everything you would hope would be served at a top-notch Italian restaurant was listed. We went in without a reservation but I wouldn

My husband and I went here for lunch for the first time. The food was delicious & there was a very nice ambience. Also, our waiter was friendly & helpful when it came to describing the dishes I had questions about. It's a bit pricey for the portion size, but I will definitely go back!

I first experienced this restaurant about 3 years ago. My wife and I came across it while traveling through and decided to stop. We were so happy we did! The food was exceptional and the service was equally matched. The owner made rounds to the tables after being in the kitchen cooking, and he had the best attitude and enthusiasm for his food.
The experience left such a lasting impression, that 3 years later while in town, I recently brought my mother to try his food.
The food did not disappoint. My mother was so very happy to have authentic Italian cooking that reminded her of when she was younger

This is legitimately the best pasta you can find on the east coast in my opinion. The service was excellent (shout out to Lamont). I always order the eggplant Florentine which as a vegetarian is one of the most flavorful dishes I order anywhere in Maryland.
