Exploring Marietta Square: A Culinary and Cultural Journey
Located in central Georgia, Marietta Square offers a delightful blend of history, culture, and cuisine. As Gianni & Mac's Ristorante Piazza Nostra, we're proud to be part of this vibrant community, bringing authentic Italian flavors to locals and visitors alike.
The Charm of Marietta Square
Marietta Square, also known as Glover Park, serves as the central gathering place in downtown Marietta. Surrounded by historic buildings, the square is a hub for festivals, concerts, markets, and special events throughout the year. Visitors can enjoy colorful seasonal landscaping in a Victorian setting, with a charming gazebo that's a favorite spot for weddings and photos. The square is also home to a variety of shopping, antiques, restaurants, museums, and theatres, making it a lively destination for all ages.
A Rich Tapestry of History and Culture
Established in the 19th century, Marietta has six historic districts, each narrating its unique story. Landmarks like the Marietta History Center, housed in the historic Kennesaw House, offer insights into the city's past. The Earl and Rachel Smith Strand Theatre, a restored 1935 Art Deco cinema, now hosts live performances and classic film screenings, contributing to the area's cultural vibrancy.
