Italian people are known for being passionate, and Anthony Rugiero is no exception. One of his greatest passions is ensuring that Antonioβs Cucina Italiana serves only the very best in traditional Italian-style dishes. For the chefs at Antonioβs Cucina Italiana, it is only by putting their heart and soul into the cooking that they live up to the time-honored tradition expressed in these simple words: Passion is part of our business.
βThe atmosphere at each of our five restaurant locations is warm, inviting, and perfect for the family,β Rugiero says. As a family man with a wife and four children, he would know. His mother, Chef Momma Rita, came up with house specialties such as handmade gnocchi with βRita sauce,β and comfort food like veal osso buco. Other classic specialties include polenta, veal parmesan, lasagnas, linguine with clam sauce and our famous pizza bread. While awaiting your food, you can watch pasta being made, in the βpasta factory.β After dinner enjoy espresso and authentic gelato, made fresh daily.
Soon the Rugieroβs will celebrate 55 years in business. βWe had small beginningsβ¦until pizza put us on the map,β Rugiero says. In fact, his father started the original restaurant back in 1964 with a pizza pie that consistently won local awards. A keen businessman, the elder Rugiero listened to customersβ desires when adding items not only to the pizza, but also to the restaurantβs menu; and so the business grew, along with its vast number of loyal patrons.
Today, the business gives back to the community through its annual Feast of St. Antonio celebration, which raises donations for those less fortunate. The Rugiero Promise Foundation (), founded by Anthony Rugiero, hosts an annual signature event Rugiero Casino Royale This event benefits the diabetes research fund at U of M.
Rugiero is President and CEO of his familyβs five Italian restaurants in the metro Detroit area. All the restaurants are upscale family dining with smart casual attire. The design is Tuscan and provides guests with a warm authentic Italian experience. If you have a passion for true Italian cuisine in restaurants that offer old-world charm, consider yourself invited to any of the 5 locations; Antonioβs Cucina Italiana or Roman Village Cucina Italiana or Antonioβs Piccolo Ristorante.
