TONY'S PLACE – Restaurant

A dinner-only neighborhood Italian room in northwest Hialeah, family-run and busy from four o'clock on. The kitchen sends out ziti with meat sauce on a sizzling metal plate, a garlicky margherita billed as the Heart Healthy pizza, chicken francese, calamari, eggplant parmigiana, linguini, and a broiled snapper that regulars rate every bit as highly as the pies. Homemade garlic rolls arrive first and rarely last. Portions are generous, prices sensible, and the same families have been ordering here across more than one generation. Unfussy Italian-American cooking, done the way the regulars want it.
