   We have been going to Antonio's for many years and decided to give Valentine's a try. To begin with we felt like we won the lottery getting a parking spot as the number of parking spaces is tight. We were promptly seated but it was pretty obvious that they were short handed as the service while nice was slow. We ordered off the set menu. Appetizers. My wife got the pear salad and loved it. I got the shrimp and tomato soup. It was good but zero hint of shrimp. Entrees. My wife got the steak and crab and loved the steak. Super tender and flavorful. On the other hand just a sliver of king crab. was served. I got the crab caked with pasta and they were fantastic. Large and meaty and perfectly cooked. Dessert was supposed to be a raspberry based dish over a light pastry but it would up being like a thick bread pudding. I got the Tirimasu and it was excellent. We also order a really good bottle of prosecco. Over all the meal was good but not the best value.

   My wife and I celebrated Valentine’s Day at Antonio’s Italian Restaurant last night, and it was an excellent experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for a special occasion. We started with calamari and burrata as appetizers. The calamari was crispy and well-seasoned, not greasy, and paired nicely with a flavorful marinara. The burrata was fresh and creamy, served with perfectly toasted bread and a drizzle of balsamic that brought everything together. For our entrées, I had the veal Parmesan, and my wife had the lobster ravioli. The veal was tender, with a rich tomato sauce and just the right amount of melted cheese—classic and well-executed. The lobster ravioli was another standout, with a delicate pasta filled with sweet lobster meat, covered in a velvety, well-balanced sauce. Drinks were equally impressive. I had an Old Fashioned, which was smooth and well-mixed, with just the right balance of sweetness and bitterness. My wife’s espresso martini was bold and rich, a perfect way to round out the meal. Service was attentive without being intrusive, and despite the busy holiday crowd, everything came out in a timely manner. Antonio’s delivered on all fronts—great food, excellent drinks, and a cozy atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back!

   Like visiting an Osteria in Bologna, Antonio’s upstairs is authentic, with delicious food and old world service. It’s a treasure of a place!

   Service has always been wonderful and the food is exceptional. The decor could use an update. However I will always keep going back for the quality of food and service.

   My wife and I decided to try Antonio’s upstairs for dinner. My wife chose to order Chicken Florentine and I chose to order Chicken Marsala. My wife enjoyed her Florentine but my Marsala was the worst that I have ever had. The sauce was very heavy, bland and tasted burnt. I’m used to a creamy Marsala sauce taste but this was more of a thick, dark gel like sauce. The service was great. The feel of the restaurant was great but my entree wasn’t what I expected. I was a little disappointed because I had heard great things about this place that enticed us to try.

   Hello Brent, Thank you for trying Antonio's Ristorante with your wife. I am glad to hear she enjoyed her Chicken Florentine but I do apologize that you did not enjoy your Chicken Marsala, our marsala sauce is a little different than most places as we do add a veal demi glace to the sauce which does thicken it up. I am also so glad to hear that you had great service & enjoyed the feel of our restaurant I encourage you to give us another chance and try a different entrée when you do Sincerely, Matt Lovely

    We had an enjoyable lunch with family and friends. As we took time to remember cousin Phylis, who left us too soon. Good food, good company, good service made for a good day.
