Mancuso's Restaurant & Bar

The family settled in the Bronx where Nunzio opened a barbershop. Meanwhile, the Mancuso family still looking to better their lives, were attracted to an ad in an italian newspaper announcing the sale of a restaurant on Kings Highway. Although the Mancuso family had never owned a restaurant, Antonia saw this as an opportunity to transfer her passion for cooking and entertaining into a family business. So the family moved to Trumbull, CT and began running Three Brothers Restaurant. The family named the restaurant Three Brothers because Antonia wished to pass the restaurant down to her three sons as soon as they learned to cook and run the business. As time went by, Sal's two older brothers Carmine and Claudio left the business and Sal's parents moved back to Italy. But Sal stayed with the restaurant, determined to make his mark on it. By making incremental changes to the menu here and there, he added more sauteed dishes, shops personally for the produce and meats at Hunts Point Market, and helped create a new face on a family classic when he closed Three Brothers for six weeks for a total renovation. The restaurant now includes a sit-down bar, more seating, a fine decor which is pleasing to the eyes and a comfort to be surrounded in, a new patio and finally, a name change.
