Biography

Tony Angello was brought up in Heartsdale. His family was known as the ones who owned a pizza place till his father passed away and it was sold to developers. Tony was about ten when his father passed. From that moment he became the man of the house. At such an early age, he was looking after his two sisters while his mother worked two jobs to make ends meet. By the time he was eighteen, his sisters could now fend for themselves and he was left to finally get on with his own life. He moved to New York City with the idea of becoming famous. He didn’t care how. He just wanted to be somebody. It was a chance meeting with a model that changed his life. Her name was Colette and was the next big thing and he was pictured on her arm and eventually, they wed in a huge ceremony covered by the press. It was a perfect life, according to the outside world. As this was happening, Tony tried his hand at Skiing and made it to the Olympics where he got a silver for ski jumping. But Colette hated the fact that the limelight had been taken from her and told him to give up. He did so just to keep the peace.

In real life, Colette was shallow and cruel, She was spiteful and treated everyone, including Tony like a slave. Tony put up and shut up until he could bare it no longer. Fame wasn’t what he wanted it to be. He missed his family and after two years of trying to make it work, He divorced Colette and got a hefty payout from her management company to keep his mouth shut. Sick of the limelight, Tony went back to his family home and put half of his divorce settlement into the building, and ran an Italian restaurant called Tonys. He worked hard and with the help of his sisters and mother, not to mention all his cousins, he created a place where people could come and relax. From dates to birthday parties. He could cater to all and the menus were suitable for all ages and all wages. He designed the place from a memory of where his father took him when he was a child on summer vacations in Florida.

Tony lived on the top floor. All the glitz and glamour meant nothing to him and Tony's was his world. The press would occasionally show up at his door but he would give no comment and leave them scratching their heads. He was home and that’s all that mattered.  Recently he has become more reflective about what he wants from life.  His bar/restaurant is great throughout the year and in the winter months he keeps the place busy by having Christmas events and even has Santa pop down every weekend through November and December.   Tony keeps himself busy with work, but lately, since the restaurant is doing so well, he is at a loss of what to do with himself. He looks to others and wants the same things that they have. Marriage and kids. But after Colette, Tony is afraid to fail again.

“Sure. Let’s rebook.” She’d likely show up on her own again but that didn’t need to be something she was judged on right now so she chewed on her lower lip and thought about all the times. Eight was a little too late given her early shift the next morning. “Let’s aim for 6:15, please.” She said as she flashed him a kind smile. Leaning closer to the podium when people moved in line behind her. “My name is Selin and do you need my phone number for the reservation?”

“ You got it.” Tony said with a smile and started to rearrange the booking. “ 6.15pm. Is there anywhere you would like to sit?” He asked showing her the table plan.” There are two parties but they are on this side of the restaurant so anything on the other side is free.” He said with a friendly smile. “ Yeah that would be great, Do you want me to put the reservation under Selin ?” He asked as some people preferred surnames to first names. “ Are there any dietary requirements you would like to let us know of?” He asked with a friendly smile.

“  Oh, is it noon already ?  “  the blonde questioned, although more to herself, looking down at her own brown leathered watch in a bit of a shock. Between a staff meeting that took longer than expected and an early morning influx of customers wanting fresh coffee before work, time flew her by without knowing.                                                 “  Yeah, I know,  “  she smiled once he introduced himself, motioning over to the sign above their heads she as she followed him inside. Her gaze then fell on the various pizza options they had, lips puckering together as she roamed through them.  “ Well, in that case … I’ll have a Napoletana and one Margherita with extra cheese, “ 

“Good choice.” Tony said with a smile. “ Both large?” He asked as he started to tap in the information into the register. “ Did you want drinks too?” He asked with a smile. “ A meal deal is way cheaper then the buy everything one by one thing,” He gave a small shrug and called up the order to the kitchen. “ I’m Tony.” He said with a smile. “ Are you the lady from the café?” He asked, “ Because if you sign up to the loyalty card you get 20% off as you are a business in town.”

     “Günaydın … good morning,” Alara had been looking for a menu when the man came out, almost making her jump as he came past. “Please, don’t rush on my behalf.” She could remember how heavy the kegs were, while never working at the tavern, she had become familiar with its’ layout and the cellar. Aly could remember trying to drag one of the kegs out of the way, only for her ex-boyfriend to go down and do it herself. She wondered if she could drag one these days, probably, Alara assumed. “Hi —” She gave him a friendly smile, “I was just wondering if you serve Halal meals” 

“ Ciao.” Tony said with a smile. “I’m done now thank god.” He chuckled and wiped his hands on a cloth then looked at her. “ Yes we do. We have a selection on the menu on page three of all different kinds.” He said handing her a menu. “ Is there anything in particular you are interested in? and would you be dining in or taking out?” Tony asked as he headed into the warm, peaceful restaurant. “I’m Tony by the way. I own this place. “

Imani: How about Juniper’s?

Imani: A right swipe means someone is interested in you and a left swipe means they’re not. But you never see who swipes left.

Imani: Are you telling me you don’t know that you’re a catch? 

Tony: Sounds good to me

Tony:  but they don’t know me. Its all based on looks? That's pretty fickle right?

Tony: What's that mean? Imani you know I haven't dated since my marriage broke down. I have no idea what I am doing lol

Her stomach started rumbling as she was driving to work. A quick glance at the clock made her realize she had some extra time to stop and take some take-out so she will be able to eat it and not annoy anyone with the gastric symphony for several hours. While looking around she noticed an Italian restaurant that she doesn’t recognize being in before.

“Hey, sure I will wait” she greeted the man with a smile and looked around in case she needed an alternative. Fidgeting in place, she took her phone out to check the time that she had left when she heard his voice again making her look up at him “Oh I was wondering, are you guys opened already?” what in her mind more sounded like you’re my only chance for a decent meal right now. 

“Yeah we opened about five minutes ago for Lunch. Is there anything you want in particular as I can get it going before the lunchtime rush starts. Are you eating in or taking out?” He asked with a small smile as he opened the front doors and made sure all the outside tables were aligned. “ Here’s a menu. If you are eating in did you want a table inside or outside?” He asked as he put menus on the tables outside.

Location: Pie of the Tiger Status: Open @heartsdalestarters​

Out of nowhere, Spruce had been hit with a huge influx of delivery orders and he’d been running around like a crazy person all day, and when his boys finished with school, he’d put them to work as well and by the time 5PM rolled around, everything was finished and the delivery company had come to pick everything up.  “Alright boys, go upstairs, clean up and start your homework.  I’ll order a pizza and bring it up when I’m done here.”  The two flour covered 11 year olds ran out the door and up to their apartment, nearly crashing into someone as they left.  

Spruce sighed, “I’m sorry about them.  Take a seat anywhere, we’re open for another hour yet, the Pie of the Day is “If You were a Fruit, You’d be a Fineapple” which is Cream Cheese, Vanilla and Pineapple, otherwise just let me know how I can help.” 

-

Tony had been dropping off flyers round the neighbourhood when he stopped off at Pie of the tiger to grab some pie for a member of staff who was leaving, when he was in the midst of two children covered in flour. “ Whoa.. “ He said with a charming smile then looked up at the adult voice. “No harm done.” Tony said with a smile. “ I just wanted to drop off a flyer that gives you 20% pizzas at my restaurant because you are a small business.” He said handing it over. “ I’m also here to pick up a millionaire cheesecake. Its under the name Tony.”

hawkinscooper​:

Cooper wasn’t really that hungry but he was working and he needed to stop at Tony’s anyway. It was slow today for Homicide and the Detective had taken everyone’s lunch orders. He always did it on slow days. It was something he did in his old unit in Brooklyn and something he did now. Something he didn’t mind doing. Seeing that Tony was busy, the Detective wait for a minute before opening his mouth to speak. However Cooper nodded his head as Tony said to give him a second. Watching as Tony re-appeared, Cooper smiled “I made a big order about an hour ago. They said it was ready so I just came to pick it up, for Hawkins—”

“Sure.” Tony said with a smile and stood up, rolled his shoulders, relaxing his back from the carrying of the kegs. He walked though into the restaurant and headed behind the counter. Tony grabbed the phone on the wall and called up to the kitchen “Ordine di cibo per Hawkins. qualcuno è qui per la consegna” He said and within minutes a man appeared with a box full of food for the delivery. “Here you go.” He said and handed over the food. “ Did you want drinks with that?”

With one hand holding her bag and a stack of papers in other holding ideas for the new menu choices for her cafe in Suffix Mills, the blonde wasn’t planning to stop by Tony’s  — although a chance to taste italian kitchen wasn’t something she could ever decline. Which explained why she stopped in her steps once she found herself before the restaraunt, contemplating whenever or not she should get some takeout before picking up Emma from preschool. Truthfully, in her mind she was already considering her choices from the menu she almost knew by heart considering how often she ordered from the place, to notice the owner standing nearby.  “ Oh … yeah, no problem, “  she said, for a moment confused before averting her green orbs to the menu before her until he was back.  “ Sorry, are you open ?  I didn’t even check and I’d hate to be a bother if not, “  

Tony looked at his watch and then back at her. “ Yep we will be open in 3 minutes for the lunchtime rush from 12 till 3. Come in.” He said and opened the doors and let her in. Inside the restaurant, Tony walked behind the counter and smiled. “ Hi I’m Tony, what can I get you?” He asked as he typed his password into the touchscreen register. “Its buy one get one free on pizzas if you eat  in and free garlic bread if you are taking away today.”

The brunette wasn’t going to let the last minute cancellation get the best of her. Despite being on her own tonight in a restaurant, it was the only night she had off and she wasn’t going to spend it in her apartment after getting ready. “Don’t worry about it, please take your time.” Selin said as she looked down at her phone in a last ditch effort to see if someone could join her for a late dinner. No luck. “I had a reservation for two but it’s only going to end up being me today. It’s under my name, Selin.” She explained with a smile. Whether people judged her or not, she couldn’t find it in her to care too much.

-

Tony walked over to the diary. “ Did you want to rebook?” He asked with a friendly smile as the lunchtime rush started to flood through the doors and the staff took over. “ I can do 6.15pm, 7.30pm or 8pm if you would like to rebook.” He said with a friendly smile, Focusing on her and watched her look at her phone. “ Or if you would like to rebook for when your friend is available then I can reschedule for you.”

Imani: You have excellent timing. I just finished up a consultation and brunch sounds fantastic.

Imani: Um…I think it’s perfect for tinder. You’re gonna get lots of right swipes.

Imani: Tinder is a mixed bag in my experience, but perhaps you’ll have more luck.

Tony: Awesome. Where do you want to eat?

Tony: Am I ? is that bad?

Tony: I have no idea what it is, i just got told to get on there as I am a catch apparently according to my waitress lol

Flashback : @tonyangello 

Loren was tired, he had finished one project and was now having to start another. And with the fact that half his team had taken their holidays in January, it was left for him to do all the planning. Thankfully he had a small team of four assistants who were more then willing to help create the exhibition alongside him.  It had been a day of brainstorming when the team decided to have a bite to eat and then go home. The general consensus was Tony’s Italian for a pizza. Part of Loren wanted to just say no and head home, but his team insisted he joined them. 

Walking inside the restaurant, flashbacks of New Years Eve hit him, The smell of the food and the echo of the music from that night played on his mind. The memories flooding back to him. One’s he had promised he would take to the grave. He sat down and looked at the menu as his team chatted, then he saw him. A vision of what they did hit him hard and Loren quickly ducked his head down and started looking intently at the menu, trying to make him seem as inconspicuous and small as possible.

*

It had been a relatively quiet day at Tony’s when the evening rush began. With Danny on the bar and two chefs in, everything was running like clockwork. Danny had sat a table of five and Tony grabbed a pen and pad and headed over to them. “ Hey welcome to Tony’s what can I get you?” He asked and took the orders until he got to the last person at the table, Loren. He smiled politely at the other man, to him, Loren had always been a bit of an enigma. He was almost too beautiful to be a man. There was something about him that confused Tony. He took the order and noted how Loren behaved towards him. Had Tony upset him? The last time he had seen Loren was on New Year eve and everything had been a blur. The amount of alcohol Tony had consumed that night, left him hung over for two days. Tony tried to recall if he had upset Loren and came up blank. Catching the younger man’s eye, Tony gave him a small friendly smile and took the order. Something was definitely amiss. Maybe he had said something offensive in his drunken stupor. He took the order to the bar and waited for the drinks and looked back at Loren and gave him a gentle smile

— 

Of course her first encounter with the handsome man she’d only been noticing from afar could’ve resulted in something like this. During any other point in her life, the extroverted woman was more than capable of interacting as a normal, put-together individual, however, when the slightest bit of romantic-like feelings were involved, she was the biggest klutz one had ever seen. The world seemed to have stopped for a moment as the proximity of their bodies were only mere inches from each other, and the warmth emanating from his own was a slight comfort to the petite woman — that is until the memory of what led her to her current place in time came rushing back, leaving his question of her well-being almost inaudible over the rapid beating of her heart. She had no idea where she found the courage to let her eyes roam upwards to his face, but having done so proved only to have a been a major mistake on her part because she was instantly met with his charming blue hues, resulting in her cheeks feeling aflame, which she desperately hoped he somehow wouldn’t notice against her light complexion. She could barely muster the full strength of a nod in response to his continued kindness; her nerves were especially erratic in this moment. ‘This is insane. He’s just a person,’ she tried to convince herself to no avail. Her head slowly swiveled in his direction, still overcome with nervousness, she forced out a choppy sound of the words, “Uh…no?” with utter uncertainty. She cleared her throat, hoping that would help her formation of words improve. “I should probably get going actually,” she rushed to say, wanting nothing more than to distance herself as far away from the awkward, embarrassing situation she very literally landed herself in, and the moment she tried to stand and attempt her getaway her bambi legs made an encore performance. ‘Oh god not again.’

*

“No you are not ok... or no you don’t want anything?” Tony’s voice was soft and calming as he spoke, but the look of confusion was etched on to his face. He stopped and then stood and looked down at her with questioning sky blue eyes. “Ok... if you are sure.” He murmured unconvinced by her response. Tony stepped back and  gave her space for her to promptly fall onto him again. This time Tony wrapped his arms around her to keep her upright and then slowly moved to the chair, feeling  her small frame wrapped by his muscular arms reminded him how long it had been since he had held a woman. “ Ok. easy now..” He said softly and sat her back down. He had been in this situation before, only it was with his ex wife and she was drunk at the Emmys. From what he could tell, the young woman wasn’t drunk. In fact she smelt nice. “ Please.. stay put for a moment. I’ll get you some water to hydrate... then if you need to go then maybe you will be steadier on your feet.” He said softly in a fatherly voice. “ I’m Tony.” He said as he stepped away and headed to the bar nearby to get her a glass and some ice and a bottle of fiji water. “ Here.. drink this.” He said and opened the bottle and poured it for her. Tony then sat beside her with a small smile. “ Busy day?” He asked trying to take her mind off the fact she could barely walk.

Nes knew what drew her through Tony’s doors. It was the same thing that made her steps slow to a damn near crawl each time she passed it on her way down the block. A job. Or, at least, the hope that one day they’d have a ‘help wanted’ sign hanging in the window and she wouldn’t have to just bite the bullet and ask.

Working at the middle school was fine and all, but a secretary’s pay in this small of a town didn’t quite cut it when you had higher rent, a stack of bills to pay, and a thirteen year old daughter to feed. 

She couldn’t ask her family for help, and sure as hell wouldn’t put it upon Matt, but there was no shame in finding additional work, right? A lot of single parents worked multiple jobs. Those first few years after Selvi was born she’d worked three. So why did Nes have so much trouble going through with the decision she’d been on the verge of making for months?

Not a clue, but by the time he re-emerged from the cellar she’d already lost her nerve. 

“Uhm, just a menu if you don’t mind.” Tony’s hadn’t been around before the left town, and that unfamiliarity was appealing in terms of somewhere to work, but for lunch? It put her at a disadvantage… especially since she only ate halal. 

Shit. She hadn’t thought this through at all, had she? 

Dark eyes flicked up from the floor, full of uncertainty. “Do you, uh, do you any recommendations for something without meat?” And the fact that she had to ask - that she was as unfamiliar with Italian cuisine as she was the restaurant, itself - probably proved shouldn’t be looking for a job there in the first place.

*

Tony smiled as she spoke. “Vegan, vegetarian, halal or meat allergy?” He asked as he handed her a menu which was meat free. “I have a selection of halal dishes, vegetarian pastas and some pizzas which are vegan, including the base.” He said opening the door to the restaurant  to let her into the warm, peaceful place he loved so dearly.

Once inside, he looked around. “Where would you like to sit? by the window to see the world go by? in the corner for some peace and quiet or by the bar to watch me slowly die of boredom as I label bottles of wine?” He chuckled and walked over to the bar. “ Take a seat anywhere that you feel comfortable and I’ll be with you in a second.”

Tony slipped out the back and sprayed himself with deodorant and then pulled on  shirt and headed back out to her, grabbing a pen and pad on the way. “ Sorry I had a delivery today and I have two sick staff members so I am running the ship by myself today.” He explained as he blew a strand of hair from his face. “ What drink you like?”

@mattsullivan​

Its was Tony’s only day off and he needed a break from the restaurant. He knew his staff was more than capable of running the show without him, so he slipped out for the evening to get some fresh air and socialise. His first stop was Sully’s. Tony had a craving for Guinness and hoped that Matt might be around. Tony walked in and sat at the bar and waved at the bartender and ordered  the Guinness he had been craving all day, he then saw Matt and gave him a wave. “ Hey Matt.” He said with a friendly smile. “ You busy tonight?”
