Meet us where tradition lives on
Tre Sorelle means three sisters in Italian, which is fitting since the owner of Tre Sorelle Ristorante has three daughters who grew up in the restaurant and who still spend a lot of time helping out with the family business.
Al Mancini first opened an Italian restaurant in 1976. He moved that restaurant - aptly called Mancini’s - to Oak Park in 1995, where it quickly became an institution. It is here where his three daughters greeted his customers, many of whom watched the girls grow up.
Mancini sold his namesake restaurant in 2014, but when it closed in 2019 he just wasn’t ready to see the place shut down for good. Though he hadn’t been involved with the restaurant for years, he set about reimagining the original Mancini’s Italian restaurant.
Now called Tre Sorelle Ristorante, the restaurant retains the charm of the original Mancini’s, but with a modern flair and an updated cocktail menu.
Try the Sorelle Pasta with sausage, spinach, and ricotta cheese on penne pasta or a traditional Florentine, hand-rolled pizza like the Quatro Stagioni with mushrooms, black olives, artichoke hearts, and prosciutto.
