The iconic Italian haunt in Fort Lauderdale officially reopened this week after an eight-month renovation. Anthony’s opened 40 years ago and now ushers in a new era with a full aesthetic makeover. The redesigned $4 million interiors will transport diners to a Las Vegas Rat Pack supper club with plush booths, crystal chandeliers, spacious bar and an elevated stage with nightly live entertainment. 

Owners Anthony Bruno and Pat Marzano have a new partner in this venture—Marc Falsetto of Handcrafted Hospitality (TacoCraft & PizzaCraft). And while there are lots of exciting new things to look forward to, one thing is certain—Anthony’s signature dishes were not modified in any way. The same kitchen staff will return to ensure that classic flavors are just as diners remember them. There are a few additions to the menu including a Prime steak section and plenty of new cocktails.
