 Truly a family affair in the tradition of old world  Italian eateries, island residents Becky and Tony Fazzini, along with family members Jill Boyd and Michael Cirafesi, opened Michael Anthony's Cucina  Italiana in January 2002.

The family, originally from the Philadelphia area, longed for the quaint authentic Italian eateries found in the Italian neighborhoods around the Philadelphia area which were modeled after the trattorias of the small towns of Italy. It was a desire to offer this fine cuisine, paired with some of the best wines in the world, in a more contemporary metropolitan environment that launched what is now recognized as one of the finest restaurants in the region.

Along with their professional and attentive staff, Michael Anthony's will provide a culinary experience you will long remember!
