Randazzo's Little Italy

This old-school, Godfather-influenced, Goodfellas-inspired, Sopranos-style Italian restaurant is a guaranteed knockout and not just because the owner is a former professional boxer, either. Come hungry and leave with your pants unbuttoned as this bustling, fun, and phenomenally garlicky restaurant has a way of making Little Italy seem mammoth thanks to huge portions of traditional favorites -- sausage and peppers, meatballs and spaghetti, and rigatoni with vodka sauce which one critic said was so good it could "bring any homesick Italian-American to tears." House specialty is spaghetti with Sunday gravy -- al dente strands of pasta studded with meatballs the size of wrecking balls (appropriately enough they will wreck your appetite) and large chunks of sweet and hot sausage. Although there are many distractions here, from the cacophonous crowd and gregarious former-boxer owner to the TVs showing the aforementioned Italian-themed classics, the focus here is fully on the plate -- which if you finish, will earn you, too, major heavyweight status.
