Manne's Bakery — Restaurant in Revere

What's crazy is that it wasn't until yesterday that I realized that this is the same Manne's that was once upon a time located on Salem Street in the north end. My grandmother used to buy her bread from there and always got me a slice of pizza or a lemon square from there and after they closed- I never really enjoyed a lemon square or Sicilian pizza. For the past year or so my mom and I have been stopping in from time to time and I always get a lemon square and tell her how much they remind me of the lemon squares nonnie used to get for me. Yesterday afternoon we stopped in and I decided to get a slice and it hit me immediately after my first bite. The feeling of longing for something from my past that bought me such much pleasure was finally over! ☺️ I knew in that very first bite that this was indeed the same Manne's bakery that my grandmother used to take me to. Even though it had been 25+ years since having their pizza- I could never forget the taste as I always hoped to find something that would come close throughout the years. It's rare that a family holds onto recipes without making slight modifications, but this was not the case here. Pizza tastes exactly the same as it did when I was a little girl. Having that first bite was nostalgic and I'm so happy that we were able to make the connection yesterday while in there. We'll be back far more often now.

My personal favorites are the lemon squares, Sfogliatella and the banana bread. The pumpkin muffins from here are beyond...

Have always loved Manne's pizza and pastry. The service is wonderful and the bakery is very clean. For Easter I ordered a whole pizza chiena and must say that I was disappointed . There was so little meat In it that it could barely be seen or tasted. I also ordered trays of stuffed shells, eggplant Parm and chicken Parm. The food was good except for the chicken Parm . The breading was wet breadcrumbs ...no crispness or nice coating. They weren't even browned! It was as if they took cooked chicken , dipped it in egg, breaded it and simply put into the sauce. Still love Manne's for...

I recently bought a few items from Mannes bakery and wasn't very impressed at all. The italian rum cake had NOT a hint of rum flavoring at all. The cream inside was tasteless as well and was mostly on the bottom of the cake which made it difficult to cut and serve in one piece, I also purchased biscotti which were so hard that I had to dunk in my coffee to the point that the fell in and I had to scoop out with a spoon. I have bought these items in the past and was totally impressed with them. I am from out of town or I would have returned them...looks like I go...
