Cafe Martorano

$$$$ | Intracoastal and Inland Fodor's Choice

This Italian-American restaurant, serving hearty portions of the classics, is hard to miss thanks to the flashy cars that valet from its unassuming strip mall location. Loved by locals and sometimes even celebrities, it could be confused for a lounge after 10 pm on weekends, when owner Steve Martorano often DJs from the open kitchen's counter. Don't miss the made-to-order mozzarella and always ask about the specials of the day.
