Anthony Marantino is one of Charlotte York’s best friends on the popular HBO series, Sex and the City. Played by Mario Cantone, Anthony provided some serious comic relief on the show, especially while in a scene with Charlotte. This fiery, hot-headed, outspoken Italian was the perfect best friend to compliment the character of Charlotte, who was polite, quiet and always lady-like. Anthony was always there to provide dating, fashion or wedding advice ever since she first hired him to help pick out the perfect dress when she married Trey. He quickly became a favorite among fans with his snippy one liners and blunt attitude — he’s one character we definitely wish we got to see more often on the show! He’s a look at some of his 8 best quotes while on Sex and the City:
