Restaurant Description
In 1924, my great-grandfather, Eugene Napolitano came from Italy and opened a clam bar on 188th Street. A few years later, in 1927, he bought a piece of property at 2407 Arthur Avenue, off of 187th Street in the Bronx, and turned it into a Restaurant and Pizzeria. He and his wife Rosa worked the place together which they named "The Roosevelt" until they gave it to their son, Tony (my grandfather). When Tony married, he and his wife Ann decided to change the name to "Ann and Tony's."

They, along with their 9 year old son Ralph, (my father), ran the business as if it were their home. When visitors came they were treated like family. The food was delicious and if they wanted something that was not on the menu, if we had the ingredients, they could get whatever their hearts desired. After my grandparents' death, my father Ralph, alongside my mother Vera, took the place over. Out of respect for my father's parents, they kept the "Ann and Tony's" name. In face my mother and father still answer to the name of Ann and Tony.

My name is Anthony, named after my grandfather, but people call me "Tony." I have worked with my parents since I was 11 years old, first as a busboy, then a waiter, and now as chef. My younger brother Ralph Jr. helps me out as much as he can. He has worked here since the age of 14. He is currently a Chiropractor, and he is the first member of our family to break away from the restaurant business, but he will always be here when we need him. (right Ralph?!).

We still uphold the same traditions as our great grandparents did from way back in 1927. We treat ever one of our customers like they are a member of our family. We have been in the same location for more than three-quarters of a century. We have seen many changes: two World Wars, the fall of the Berlin Wall, the end of the Cold War, and all of the Yankees World Championships.
