If it's a classic red sauce restaurant you're after, look no further than Anthony's Runway 84 — Broward County's iconic restaurant and supper club. The dimly illuminated and vibey airline-themed establishment located off State Road 84 has been serving Italian-American staples since 1982 and recently underwent a year-long renovation. Be forewarned, though: It's never merely about dinner at Runway 84. Dress to impress (business casual is suggested and shorts aren't allowed), especially for the lively bar scene that extends far past happy hour. Assuming you've come to dine, start with heaping platters of hot or cold antipasti, fried calamari, and meatballs before moving on to mains like chicken parmigiana, veal scallopini, and spicy vodka sauce-soaked rigatoni. On Sunday, don't miss the "feast," a classic meat-based Sunday sauce served with meatballs and topped with a scoop of ricotta. New menu items include a 40-ounce porterhouse for two, plus an expanded selection of steaks and chops. After dinner, head back to the bar for a nightcap and dessert while soaking up the ambiance like the "made" Floridian you are.
