Our Guestbook
“ When we arrived at Antonio’s for the first time, we were surprised to see that they referred to themselves as the Home of the Panini and wanted to see what it was all about. Though it’s not your typical pressed panini, Antonio’s definitely knows what they’re doing. Their freshly baked focaccia bread was some of the best I’ve ever had, and I couldn’t believe that for such a large sandwich, it was priced under 10! If I worked around here, I’d probably come get their paninis for lunch everyday. The cheese pizza was good, and we really enjoyed the burrata, prosciutto, and pesto appetizer that we had. The sauce on the spaghetti and meatballs was a bit watery, though I did like the meatballs. Every pasta dish comes with a soup or salad, so I chose the pasta fagioli. I was expecting a cup of soup, but the size of the bowl was literally bigger than my head! It was some fantastic pasta fagioli too. Though it’s super casual, Antonio’s really impressed us with their great food, generous portions, and affordable prices. ”
“ This place was recommended by a friend who has been coming here for years. Their homemade bread is out of this world delicious! I also love their homemade meatballs, lasagna, sea bass Milanese and one of my all time favorites CAVATELLI FRA DIAVOLO with the sausage and eggplant. Madonna Mia come on down and check this place out. They thrive on amazing service and delicious food. ”

“ Excellent Italian food (this coming from an American- Italian family). The chicken saltimbocca dish was delicious! They are willing to change-up the dishes to accommodate certain ingredients when possible. The ambience there is relaxed and unpretentious. Bring your own alcoholic beverages like wine/beer/etc. Prices are reasonable and service is outstanding. It's definitely one of my favorite places ”
