Now that Mancini's has re-opened on Lake Street, I'm wondering if anyone has gone recently. Any changes to the menu or other surprises?

I've been once and my husband has been a few times. It's really nice in there. In the back is a small bar, which is nice to be away from the main dining area. I didn't go to the old one enough to know about menu changes or whatever. But it's a nice atmosphere in there.

We've gone 2x since it reopened. I hadn't been to the first one but once, since it was so crowded. So far, so good.

We did take-out there the other day, and the menu is the same, which is fine with us.

I just went here a couple of weeks ago. It is really nice! The food was delicious too. I'll go back again!

My wife and I just went recently and really enjoyed the new space.

They also have special Italian Tapas on Thursdays nights which looked very good and reasonably priced.

We usually do takeout, but we went there a few weeks ago to try out the new locale. I like that there is more space, and it doesn't feel as cramped. On the other hand, the decorum feels more generic. The food is still terrific, though.

I love Mancini's. I worked there for 6 years in high school and got to know the family very well. They've been in the restaurant biz for decades and all of the dishes come right from Maria Mancini's cookbook. Sometimes the service is, well, a little inexperienced but it's because they hire shy highschoolers (the kind I was back then). I find that more charming than anything else though. Mancini's is one of my favorites.

If you don't mind the calories try the rosini sauce.
