Who is Chef Tony? and why should he feed me?

 

A local chef born in Milan, Italy and raised in Bethesda.  He opened this restaurant in November of 2007 and it has become a home to locals, a relaxed setting for business dinners, and a spot for great quality seafood at a reasonable price.  Think gentle jazz in the background, a subtle glow from our colorful lights, and a friendly face in our kitchen.

With fresh seafood as a focus, the menu changes often, highlighting what's in season presented in a myriad of ways to allow our guests to dine as they please...keeping in mind the seasonal offerings of both local and specialty purveyors, Mixing Mediterranean flavors with interesting twists, we hope to show you a fun, comfortable cuisine that continues to please our guests.


We also realize that you need value and experience, we'll provide that by keeping up on fun promotions and offering many ways to try Chef Tony's.  Maybe you'll love to enjoy Bethesdas only TRUE fresh Seafood Lunch Menu or relax on a Sunday with our "Bottomless Mimosa Brunch" Stop in Sunday or Tuesday and have Half Price Wines to go along with your Dinner?  Whatever the occasion or event, Chef Tony wants to earn your business...



In my 24 years in the business, either from any of my other previous intimate restaurants,  to Executive Chef for McCormick & Schmick's, I've become an expert at presenting GREAT quality seafood.  Featured on Channel 9 locally, CNN Nationally & being interviewed by over 10 industry publications, my recommendation is "keep it simple". 


Our menu reflects creations that accent the freshness, not mask it in overplayed preparations.  I feel that my guests want quality, some quantity and a fair price. Over my last 35 years in the Bethesda area, I see that this is still the reality, especially now.


  I want my guests to enjoy the moment with their party and our backdrop just becomes one aspect of the event of coming together over food.


Whether a Barbecue luncheon or a swanky dinner for dignitaries, my staff and I are committed to your satisfaction.  While many Chef / Owners remain in the background, I am hands on, responsible for every element of your experience.


Please stop in and say hello, enjoy the surroundings we've created, and I'm sure you'll be back.


I LOVE to get feedback, please email me anytime, to let me know how your visit was.


Sincerely,
