Feeding the multitudes, as Nancy Manzari puts it, is no problem. She has been doing that with her good Italian cooking for years. Next month, Manzari’s new restaurant, Nonna’s Kitchen, will bring traditional Italian cuisine to Spearfish, with a soft opening planned for Sunday, Dec. 15 at 544 N. Main St.

“I’ve always done this for free, I might as well just do it. It’s something I love,” Manzari said of her decision to open a restaurant, with the blessing of her husband, Darren, and with the urging of her two sons. Nancy and Darren moved to Spearfish from Florida a couple years ago, seeking to put down new roots.
