Anthony’s in Thornton Park is a go-to neighborhood spot, and there’s no mystery why—we’re here for the chicken parm. We started with fried mozzarella planks, perfectly crispy with that gooey pull, plus solid meatballs and wings that set the tone. The chicken parm arrives golden and inviting: a well-seasoned breading, juicy and tender chicken, melted mozzarella, and a bright, tomato-forward marinara. If I’m being picky, a little extra seasoning could push it into full Italian grandma territory, but that comes down to personal taste. Friendly staff, a relaxed atmosphere, and dependable Italian comfort food make Anthony’s a local favorite and a place worth stopping into.
