5 stars! They had an 8 pm reservation on Saturday, that was perfect. Very intimate experience. We were greeted by name and sat at a nice table. The lighting is nice and dim, very relaxing. The food was PERFECT! I travel to big cities with great food quite often and I think it was some of the best food I’ve had. The waiter, also the manager was very pleasant. I go to The Depot, this was my first at Antonio’s and I was impressed. Will be back!

I've been here before a few months back and it was outstanding! However Sunday the 14th was not their night. They had no lasagna, which is absurd for an authentic Italian restaurant. The worst part is I specifically brought my parents in from SC to Antonios since it's their favorite dish. My entrée was supposed to be a white wine and olive oil base, but arrived as a tomato sauce instead. No explanation from our server besides "the chef felt this was better" but my heartburn would strongly disagree. Changing a dish without asking the patron is not acceptable. The only decent dish was the gelato dessert. Extremely dissatisfied and I would recommend calling ahead to ask if their oven is working and what the actual dishes are they are serving. And I saw another review that had the same experience since evidently the restaurant has been sold to somebody else. It's a shame.

We went to Antonio's for a date night last night and really enjoyed our meal. We had the bruschetta as an appetizer - I do agree with previous reviews that we wished the bread was crispy. We were pleasantly surprised to have been given complimentary bread with oil and that our meals came with a side soup or salad. We both had the Caesar and enjoyed it. I ordered the gnocchi, my husband ordered the fettuccine. We both preferred the gnocchi; there was something really incredible about the balsamic with the creamy sauce. The ambiance is tough to judge. The restaurant is a bit in the middle of nowhere and there is a sports bar on the same plot. There are cute chandeliers above each table and fun art of Italy on the walls. It feels like it wants to be fancy, but other diners were in sweatpants - it seems to be a come as you are atmosphere. All of the found came out quickly. Our reservation was at 7pm and we were done by 8pm (although we didn't order dessert). Overall, I would definitely recommend Antonio's. The food was excellent and it's nice to get to a restaurant outside of town.

Just incredible place. Never knew it existed. Can't wait to come back. Highly recommend the carbonara with imported pancetta and that house made sausage really does it. So rich and delightful! Fresh as it

I got the spaghetti carbinara but had it made with bucatinni. It was crazy good. Wife got the eggplant parm, which I generally don't like. But it was really good. Got the walnut salad, awesome. Prices are reasonable for the quality of the meal.

Being a foodie, and that this was a gift for our dear friend, I was highly disappointed in the food and attention to detail that was provided. We drove over an hour for an intimate experience and the quality of food expecting to make some holiday memories. We found out the restaurant was sold while we were at the venue and that the new owner was mentored by the original, that’s great, we were committed. Everything, and I mean everything was wrong from the beginnin with my entree. Ordered fettuccine pescatore and it came out watered down in a white butter wine sauce. When the entree came back out the chef literally had dumped some tomato sauce in the concoction with red peppers, same plate of food. I ordered a Moscow mule and had a straight ginger beer. After notifying the waitress she dumped some vodka in the drink, however the third drink was the same. One could tell the waitress was not in charge of the drinks, food, or bill ( basically a food runner). I sent my entree back and when we received the bill the entree was on it, and one of the appetizers were taken off. I’m sad because my wife was very excited to bring to the restaurant and we did NOT have the experience she was expecting. In my 45 years of life I can’t remember sending back food and not eating my main course! They did correct the bill, but we will not be back considering the quality of what we expected. Get it together guys. Antonio would be very disappointed with his legacy…

Excellent food & staff. Quaint and unique! Antonio's is great for any dining experience, but especially for date night. The house made bread was amazing!!! We ordered the Clams and Mussels with Spaghetti and a grouper special that was amazing!!! We cannot wait to dine here again!

We called for a reservation for dinner for my son's graduation from UF. Antonio's is one of the few nice restaurants nearby that starts dinner at 4pm so that we could have a nice family dinner before the graduation. The team at Antonio's couldn't have been nicer. They set a beautiful table, gave exquisite service and made sure to serve us quickly enough to get to the graduation but still made the dinner perfect. The food was amazing. Everything was cooked perfectly and their homemade burrata and mozzarella is absolutely delicious. Rebecca explained everything in such a way to make our mouths water and she didn't let us down. The salmon was an especially perfect dish.

The veal parmesan was the best I have ever eaten. Hands down a must try. A huge piece of veal, it melted in your mouth. It came with housemade marinara sauce and homemade mozzarella. It was perfectly cooked.My wife had the chicken parmesan she said it was excellent.The wedding soup was pretty good. The bread they gave you was excellent and the house salad was good as well. It cost us $80 for the two meals an extra soup no liquor, tax and tip.

I was surprised when I walked in. The inside is enchanting and perfect for a date night. The waiting staff were very personable. The food was really good. It's the best Italian I have had since leaving Baltimore. My wife and I are planning on making a trip back. The tiramisu was the best I ever had. Will likely stop by to get some to go.Kid-friendliness: I ate with my 13, 10, 8, and 1 year old. There were no other kids there, but the staff were friendly and accommodating.
