Daniel Mancini

I am the co founder of Mama Mancini’s a now publically traded National Italian supermarket brand that’s uses recipes I learned from my Grandmother many years ago. Our signature item is her meatballs in sauce – this is how I got the name “Meatball Mastermind” by Appetito Magazine. I am a “HOME COOK”, obsessed entrepreneur, traveler, foodie and Tewksbury NJ resident. I believe passion fuels ideas and there is no such thing as a bad one or too much passion. I look at the picture of my Grandmother Anna Mancini holding me as a baby and think wow if my Grandmother only knew that all those countless days of me learning how to cook by her side in Brooklyn would turn into this. After 25 years in the garment industry I decided in 2009  it was time for a change. My idea, real meatballs made the Italian authentic way and sold in real sauce. To me there was no other way they should be offered, that was my big idea so Mama Mancini’s was born, the rest is history. So I say this to everyone who has an idea, never give up, don’t listen to the people who say it won’t work. No idea is a bad idea and always chase your dreams. Let’s cook.
