With its dangling chandeliers, checkered tablecloths, and deceptive photo of Frank Sinatra in an Italian restaurant that isn’t Tony’s, Tony’s Times Square location is just the right amount of tacky. Caesar salads and chicken parm are served with tableside flair, and taste like what you’d crave if you were stranded on a deserted island. Spaghetti and meatballs or rigatoni alla vodka should also be default orders—always al dente with pungent sauce. Just keep in mind that portions here are gargantuan: each pasta dish is probably an entire box of pasta.
Cruise-ship big, and windowless enough to host a corporate conference, this family-style spot is like Bucca di Beppo, if the food at Bucca di Beppo was really, really good. While you could go to the Upper East Side location for less of the touristy hullabaloo, we like to come to this one to feel like an American. Or before or after a Broadway show.
