CAFE MARTORANO – Italian
Steve Martorano brought South Philly to East Oakland Park Boulevard and never turned the volume down. The original Fort Lauderdale room opens at six, five nights a week, and runs like a party with a kitchen attached: a DJ booth, a soundtrack swinging from Sinatra to hip-hop, and Italian-American cooking in portions built for sharing. The meatballs are the signature, softball-sized under Sunday pork gravy with a spoon of ricotta. Around them, veal piccata with polenta, garlicky linguine with fresh-shucked clams, bucatini amatriciana with cured pork cheek and pecorino. Closed Mondays and closed Sundays. Book well ahead of the weekend.
