Tony’s on the Lake

Tony’s, about five miles southeast of the Coeur d’Alene Resort, sits alongside one the lake’s many inlets, a location that allows diners to feel far from Coeur d’Alene’s summer bustle. The Northern Italian-influenced menu includes appetizers like cicchetti, small Venetian plates that include items like almond crusted duck tenders, toasted ravioli and fried dough with salami (gnocco fritto con affetati) along with more familiar antipasto salads. The menu is full of seafood options — mussels, calamari, prawns and fresh fish of the day — but turf is also well-represented. (July 2013)
