VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. - As the weather steadily gets warmer, John Mannino has hope. I think it s going to be a good summer, said the chef and owner of Mannino s Italian Bistro before adding, Hopefully.
Mannino and his business partners opened Mannino s Oceanfront location on Atlantic Avenue six years ago. He also owns a Mannino s location on Princess Anne Road and Fish and Slips on the harbor in Portsmouth.
Just as it did for so many restaurants, the COVID-19 pandemic did a number on Mannino s businesses, but the Virginia Beach resort area was especially hit hard.
