When I first moved to Boca Raton, friends would tell me I needed to try this place out in western Boca Raton called Tony Dell’s, and if I did I would find a place that reminded me of Little Italy in New York City. They described it as the sort of hole in the wall Italian Restaurant that opens when it wants, and has people lining up to eat there. I drove past it a couple of times and it appeared empty, which it turns out on many occasions it was. Tony Dell’s had very strict and odd hours, so the place appeared closed more than it was open.
That didn’t stop my friend Rob from swearing that we would have to go together and that I would have some of the best pizza in Boca Raton. Like many plans with Rob, excuses came and we never got the opportunity to go experience Tony Dell’s before it was put up for sale. Recently a new owner took over, regulated the hours and decided to take a try at producing some quality Italian Food in Western Boca Raton.
