About Us
Truly a family affair in the tradition of old world Italian eateries, Hilton Head Island residents Tony and Becky Fazzini opened Michael Anthony’s Cucina Italiana in January of 2002. Now celebrating their 13th year in business, Michael Anthony's has been recognized by Open Table diners as one of the "Top 50 Italian Restaurants" in the United States!
The Fazzini family, originally from the Philadelphia area, longed for the quaint authentic Italian eateries found in the Italian neighborhoods around the Philadelphia area which were modeled after the trattorias of the small towns of Italy. It was a desire to offer this fine cuisine, paired with some of the best wines in the world, in a more contemporary upscale environment that launched what is now recognized as one of the finest restaurants in the region.
Along with their professional and attentive staff, Michael Anthony’s will provide a dining experience you will long remember.
