Macaluso's Italian Cuisine
1747 Alton Road, Miami Beach, FL 33139
(305) 604-1811
When a restaurant bills itself as "authentic Staten Island cuisine," we know we're home. The curb appeal ain't that great (the restaurant is in a strip mall that contains a tanning salon, dry cleaner and dog groomer), but walk into the little storefront and be accosted by the sights, sounds, and tastes of the most-forgotten borough in New York City. Red walls are covered by pictures of Italian grandmas, wise guys, and crooners. As Sinatra sings, order from the blackboard that changes daily. Start with a glass of wine and peaches as you wait for your giant meatball. Pastas and Sinatra's shrimp are usually on the menu (market prices prevail), as are Tony Bennet's sausage and peppers and house-made ravioli with green peas. Don't think of dieting or substituting here - just enjoy. It's what Sinatra would have done.
