Anthony’s Runway 84, the circa-1982 South Florida juggernaut synonymous with Italian American dining decadence, has reopened following a yearlong, $4 million renovation. Its return ushers in a new era of Goodfellas-inspired glam. Miami-based, award-winning interiors firm Bigtime Design Studios has transformed the entire space, which now includes a new bar and piano lounge adjacent to a dining room that screams 1930s supper club chic. Regulars will be relieved to see items like the baked clams oreganata, classic meatballs, stuffed artichokes, rigatoni cauliflower, and lasagna Neapolitan have made triumphant comebacks.
Among the new selections are the tableside Caesar, swordfish “runway style” (in fresh garlic, basil, cherry tomatoes, and olive oil), chicken “vodka” parmigiana (think: the original plus spicy vodka sauce, crispy prosciutto, and peas), and a selection of Prime steaks and chops underscored by a dry-aged, 40-ounce Prime porterhouse. With Italian American extravagance currently having its South Florida moment (thanks, Mario Carbone), Anthony’s revival couldn’t be better timed.
