'Little gem' of restaurant on Lark Lane announces closure and locals are 'gutted'

A beloved Italian restaurant on Lark Lane has announced its closure.

After joining the array of restaurants and local businesses on the Lane in 2021, Mani became a much-loved spot for locals and earned an impressive four rating on TripAdvisor.

However, despite only opening a year ago, the owners have now shared the news of their closure. Posting on Instagram, MANI said: "We are very sad to announce the closure of our beautiful Italian restaurant! Mani will be closing its doors on the 30.10.22! We hope to see a lot of new and old faces before this date. All our love Mani."

The Italian bar and kitchen prided itself on serving a range of Italian small plates alongside a selection of wines, cocktails and beers, and was praised for its great service and staff.

It has not been confirmed as to why Mani has decided to close, however, many independent businesses both locally and across the United Kingdom have closed due to the heightened cost of living crisis.

After the announcement of its closure, customers fled to the comments to share their disappointment and support. One user said: "I absolutely love your restaurant and rave about it to everyone. Such sad news for the lane and the staff and owners."

Another said: "I'm very sorry to hear this; I had such memorable and special experiences at Mani!" Another customer said: "So sad, a lovely little gem on Lark Lane".

Another user commented: "Gutted. Love the amazing food, will be sad to see you go." And another added: "So sorry to hear this. What an awesome team. All the best."
