ZUCCARELLI EAST – Restaurant

Zuccarelli East has been feeding Pompano Beach off North Federal Highway for years, and it is the kind of Italian-American room where the regulars order without opening the menu. Pizza comes thin-crust and loaded — sausage and mushroom, meatball parmigiana, the house specialty — and the kitchen turns out lasagna, baked stuffed shells, eggplant and chicken parmigiana, chicken francaise, spaghetti carbonara, Italian wedding soup and shrimp parm subs. Diners talk about the garlic rolls, lunch specials that undercut the neighbourhood, and staff who remember a phone order. Nothing reinvented; everything reliable.
