Mannino's 4 Pizza & Restaurant

Hightstown's downtown business district looked very different in 1994 than it does today. That was the year the Mannino family opened Mannino's 4 Pizza and Trattoria on South Main Street. At the time the center of town was starting its metamorphosis from a place with vacant buildings in need of repair to the bustling, revitalized centerpiece of life in this small, historic town.

Giovanni Mannino, who immigrated from Carini, Italy and has been in the Trenton area for 30 years, opened the business with sons Marco, Maurizio, and Francesco. They brought with them an establishment dedicated to providing great food and service. The Mannino's partnered with cousin Jerry Lopresti in the year 2000.
