Tony & Penny's Restaurant

Exceptional service, presentation, Shrimp Mocambique appetizer not impressive - fully in shell, so messy, flavor was like a Tabasco sauce. Not a flavorful/tasty combination but it is a hot spicy. The oven roasted chicken bone-in was very good and moist. The braised pork loin "Febras de Porco" was flavorful but inconsistent on texture per piece which is a hearty portion but it went between moist and dry. The soup a kale with a potato base was very good. The Home-Style Shrimp over rice with a garlic sauce was dull and lifeless - no taste.

We had a get together with family and friends yesterday after my step-daughter’s funeral service. My husband’s family has been having their family events at Tony & Penny’s for years. It’s a family tradition. Naturally, with the recent death of my step-daughter, my husband and I went to Tony & Penny’s to book the banquet room. It wasn’t available due to another event already taking place. Fatima went out of her way to accommodate us. She offered the dining room but it wouldn’t work due to the amount of people we were expecting. She then got on the phone to see what other venues were available. She tried the Polish Club, Fish and Game Club and one was already booked and the other venue wasn’t going to work for our group. She kept on going until she found us the Ludlow Portuguese Club. We can’t thank her and her staff enough for going out of their way during a difficult time. We just can’t say enough about Tony & Penny’s. They provided the food, linens and service. Everyone couldn’t say enough about how delicious the food was and how beautiful the Portuguese Club was. I would highly recommend working with Fatima to plan your banquet event. She really impressed us and went above and beyond. She made a sad and stressful time, easier for us by ironing out the details. We had a buffet that had a spread of meats, cheeses, salad, bread, stuffed shells, manicotti, meatballs, wings, cheesecake, chocolate cake and carrot cake.
