Deconstructing the Family Dinner

John and Tony’s Italian Steak House welcomes the challenge to not only feed, but to exceed the culinary expectations of every family with their extensive menu of expertly prepared dishes.

Dad wants a perfectly prepared steak, mom’s a vegetarian, older sis just came back from Europe and she’s all about food with an International flare, and the younger brother, he will only eat things that come on a bun. Can one restaurant satisfy this family’s schizophrenic cravings?

Delivering the best cuts of meat to the most dedicated carnivores, dad can enjoy everything from 22 ounces of the primo-prime rib to the most tender filet complimented by a delicious parmesan or horseradish crust.

If mom’s happy, the whole family’s happy, and John & Tony’s promises to please her with the flavorful Penne alla Verdura. A veritable vegetarian pasta heaven, with sautéed mushrooms, zucchini, yellow squash, broccoli, cherry tomatoes, garlic, olive oil and pine nuts in a herb broth.

Refined, rich and savory in flavor, the baked escargot can satisfy the sister’s Francophile’s cravings. In addition to the abundance of items from the Italian restaurant menu, she can dine on dishes that pay a delicious homage to other parts of Europe, including the Greek favorite flaming saganaki and Spanish olives and cheese.

An adventurous palette takes time to develop, so John & Tony’s recognizes that it’s important to have an extensive kids menu. Well-priced and good tasting, the mini cheeseburger and fries for $5.95 can please even the pickiest of eaters.

Next time, bring back the demanding, seafood aficionado aunt with you to John & Tony’s. We’ll wow her too with our scallops wrapped in bacon and coconut shrimp.
