Whole-Roasted Branzino
Mediterranean sea bass, oven-roasted whole with lemon and fresh herbs. Served with baby potatoes and daily vegetables.
Whole-roasted Branzino, Italian paella worth the wait, and the kind of Italian pastas you remember from the coast — served in the warm, white-tablecloth dining room you don't really find anymore.

Chef Tony Marciante opened the first Chef Tony's in 2007 with a simple idea: bring honest, ocean-fresh seafood and the warm hospitality of a Mediterranean coast town to suburban Maryland.
Today we're settled into our Wilkins Avenue dining room — a comfortable, white-tablecloth space where three generations of Rockville families have shared anniversaries, birthdays, Mother's Day, and the simple Tuesday night out.
Lunch, dinner, weekend brunch. Tables for two to twelve, with the same warm welcome we’ve offered for nineteen years.

"We took my 97 year old mother to Chef Tony’s for a pre-Mother’s Day meal. We were so pleasantly pleased first by the ambiance and low decibel level (mom wears hearing aids) and then by the service (thank you, Gladis!) and food. Crab cakes and stuffed salmon were a hit. We’ll definitely be back."
"If you haven’t yet tried Chef Tony’s you are missing out on a treat. Wonderful menu and great service. It’s that warm family, Italian Trattoria feeling that we all love."
