I'm not sure this belongs in this thread, but we are talking about South Florida here, so here goes. There is a restaurant by the beach in Broward County which is called Cafe Martorano. It's located in the Fort Lauderdale area in a town called Oakland Park. There are two other Cafe Martoranos, one is in the Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood, Florida and one is in the Rio in Las Vegas. The owner of these places used to be a D.J. in my neighborhood at the Jersey Shore. I went to the place in Las Vegas a few weeks back right after the Martinez-Chavez, Jr. fight. It had the best Italian-American food I have ever had outside of New Jersey. It is also better than many, or even most, Italian places in New Jersey. It's as good as I could get in my mom's kitchen at the Jersey Shore. The meatballs are actually better than what my mom makes. The Oakland Park location is the original. I haven't been to the Oakland Park or Hollywood locations, but family members of mine who know Italian food have been to both of those locations and say that they are as good as they could be.
