About the author
Tony Danza
3 books17 followersPerhaps best known for starring on some of television’s most beloved and long-running series, including Taxi (1978–1983) and Who’s the Boss (1984–1992), Tony Danza has also established himself as a stage and screen star, and he is indisputably one of America’s most iconic performers.
Born and raised in Brooklyn, Danza received a wrestling scholarship to the University of Dubuque in Iowa, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in history education. Discovered at a boxing gymnasium in New York, Danza was ultimately cast in the critically acclaimed ABC series Taxi, earning him a place in television history. He followed Taxi with a starring role in the classic ABC comedy series Who’s the Boss?, which ran for eight seasons.
Eventually Tony explored his love for the stage, and among his many stage credits is his exciting run on Broadway in Mel Brooks’s hit musical The Producers, playing Max Bialystock (2006–2007), and his reprise of the role in the Las Vegas production at Paris Las Vegas (2007). For his theatrical debut in Wrong Turn at Lungfish (1993), he earned an Outer Critic’s Circle Award nomination. Other stage credits include the critically acclaimed The Iceman Cometh, opposite Kevin Spacey, Arthur Miller’s Tony Award–winning play A View from the Bridge, and I Remember You.
Most recently, it was announced that the ABC television network and ABC Studio are developing a sitcom entitled The Guys, is being developed to be Tony Danza’s return to half hour multi-cam comedy. Tony is also developing a project that could mark his return to the stage: the much buzzed about musical adaptation of the 1992 Castle Rock hit comedy Honeymoon in Vegas. Tony’s next big-screen role will be playing Joseph Gordon Levitt’s father in Levitt’s much buzzed about directorial debut, entitled Don Jon’s Addiction. The film stars Levitt, Danza, Julianne Moore, and Scarlett Johansson, and will be released in 2013.
Among Tony’s previous television experience is his role as attorney Joe Celano on the CBS dramatic series Family Law (2000–2002), his Emmy-nominated performance on David E. Kelley’s award-winning series The Practice (1998), and ABC’s The Tony Danza Show, a talk show that was broadcast live in New York from 2004–2006. He also starred in and executive-produced the ABC comedy series Hudson Street, NBC’s The Tony Danza Show, hosted Saturday Night Live several times and hosted numerous award shows, including the 2001 Miss America Pageant and the 2003 People’s Choice Awards.
Amongst Tony’s big-screen credits are his roles in Walt Disney’s Angels in the Outfield, She’s Out of Control, The Hollywood Knights, and A Brooklyn State of Mind.
In 2009-2010, Tony took on his most challenging role yet—teaching tenth-grade English at Philadelphia’s Northeast High School. His amazing experience working as a real teacher was taped and aired on A&E last year in the form of the critically acclaimed seven-part documentary series, entitled Teach. In September 2012, Crown Publishers (a division of Random House) will publish Tony’s book about the experience, entitled I’d Like to Apologize to Every Teacher I Ever Had: My Year as a Rookie Teacher at Northeast High.
In 2010, AARP The Magazine, the definitive voice for 50+ Americans and the world’s largest-circulation magazine with more than 35 million readers, presented Tony with their Inspire Award. The Inspire Awards pay tribute to extraordinary people who inspire others to action through their innovative thinking, passion and perseverance.

This book should be requiring reading for anyone who wants to cook Italian dishes.
Tony and Marc Danza's version of shrimp scampi is the best I've created. I also created the shrimp dish from Skinny Italian by Teresa Giudice (the Real Italian Housewife of New Jersey) and the retro shrimp scampi from a Food Network magazine recipe.
I recommend Don't Fill Up on the Antipasto and Skinny Italian without reservation. Actor Tony Danza used to be a boxer and you could see he's still fit in the photos in the cookbook.
I intend on buying this cookbook to use often. I will next try to make the vongole [clams].
Yes: I'm proud to be Italian.
Mangia vivere as the Italians say: eat to live.
Our cuisine is some of the mot healthful around. And era squisito when cooked well.
Try some of the recipes. The shrimp scampi is easy to cook. Assemble the measuring cups beforehand because the recipe uses a lot of ingredients.
Buon Appetito!

Nice family style cookbook. Although I am not Italian, I can very much relate to the stories in the book, having grown up in Brooklyn. Love the fact that the recipies are full of family love. :)

Tony Danza, a good little cook book with some good stories about growing up in a Italian family! Enjoyed reading and can’t wait to try a lot of these recipes!

First off, I've had a crush on Tony Danza since I was probably 3 years old, and have enjoyed him in most everything he was in. (REALLY miss his talk show.) I also adore cooking (especially Italian cooking), so I was excited to see this cookbook he had made. I love the pictures and the stories... and while some of the recipes were quite complex, most of them were accessible and easy, and very tasty. Most definitely recommend.

Quick read. If you grew up italian or knowing an italian family you can relate. The recipes also brought back memories. It is a cookbook but he shares some family stories too. Fun to go back into your childhood.

I liked this book.
It was like being in the kitchen with Tony as he cooks and tells you stories about his family.
A lot of the recipes remind me of my uncle's Italian food. Yup, in my family the men can all cook, just like Tony's.

I really liked this, though it was a library read. Someday I'd like to get a copy, as there are quite a few good tips and recipes, especially for those who, like me, especially enjoy Italian-American cooking and family memories.
