We had a great time visiting for Family Day/ Valentines day weekend. The food was so flavourful and delicious. The complimentary bread was also very good. If you like big portions it might not be for you, but is definitely worth trying. It's also on the more expensive side so it makes a good spot for special occasions.Dietary restrictions: 2 Gluten free pasta options were availible when we visitedParking: The best place to park is across the way at Tim Hortons. There's not much parking space behind the restaurant. Street parking nearby has to be paid.

Took more than an hour after ordering for our food to arrive. We had no appetizers. This would have been acceptable if the food had been enjoyable. At least one person from our party became quite ill after their meal. Extremely limited options for any dietary restrictions.

Went for New Years Eve. Upon making the reservation, I wasn't told it would be a set menu (I actually chose Anthony's over another restaurant because the other had a set menu). Even with a set menu, there were still lots of choices. The food was amazing and plentiful, and it was actually half the price of the other place I was considering. I love the atmosphere at Anthony's. It is actually one of my favorite places to go for a nice night out. In an area full of "Lower-End/ Boring Restaurants" that seems to have the same bland menu items (Kelsey's, BP, Eastside Mario's, etc.), Anthony's is a nice change. It's not overpriced in comparison, the portions and food is always great. I really hope this place stays around for many years to come.Vegetarian options: They have salads, baked Brie, soups, cheese dips, pastas, desserts, ect. They will try to accommodate accordingly (if possible). I'm not sure how 'vegan friendly' the menu would be (probably not very many options for that), but for vegetarian options, there are quite a few.Parking: I always park down the hill behind city hall/the restaurant itself. There are a few 'visitor' parking spots, and they're almost always available during supper/late night hours. There are also a few street parking spots, which are usually free (you don't have to pay) during nights and weekends. There is also a large parking lot across the street that I'm sure is intended for the businesses of that space, but I have had accompanying parties park in that larger lot and walk across the street with no issues of being ticketed.Wheelchair accessibility: The entrance is a cobble stone like walkway (no stairs) that, although a bit bumpy, should be accessible by wheelchair. The inside is also wheelchair accessible (except for the upper level that is accessed by stairs), as they have different sections of the restaurant that I've seen be utilized for dining areas, as well as smaller ramps within the restaurant.

I have had veal parmigiana at many places in many cities in the USA, but the best of all was at Anthony's Italian Grill (a restaurant we found while on the way from Quebec toward Upper Michigan) The veal, the light breading, the sauce, the preparation were all excellent. My wife's chicken dish was also rated highly by her.Parking: 30 spots or more; we parked on the street in front of the restaurant.

Dined here in May of 23 with a large work group. Since it was a large group, the restaurant was closed just for us and we had 2 salad and 3 menu entrée options to choose from. Let me start off with the good, the Caesar salad. This Caesar salad was very delicious and enjoyable and was topped with some tasty homemade croutons. It left me very excited to receive my entrée, which came 30-45 minutes after I was done with my salad. I opted for the chicken marsala which was described as followed: Pan braised chicken supreme, topped with marsala wine reduction, sautéed mushrooms served with garlic mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables. The chicken seemed baked in an oven. Unseasoned, dry and hard, wayyyyy overcooked. The mushrooms, not sautéed and I have no idea where they think their marsala sauce is true to the Italian classic. It tasted like canned tomato paste more than anything else. If you compare my photo of this dish to any other chicken marsala image on google, you can see for yourself that this is noting close to even resembling the Italian staple.The garlic mashed potatoes had no taste of garlic whatsoever. What's worse is that they were lumpy, hard and dryer than that Sahara. The veggies, boiled and flavorless. Even when I receive bad food, I usually can get through most of it. This plate however, I could not even get through a quarter of it before I threw in the towel. I don't recommend you dine here when in the area. Over 70 bucks after a beer and tip later, I had to go get dinner elsewhere.EDIT (Response to Owner):I didn't say May 23rd. I said May of 23, meaning May 2023. Since you seem confused, I looked it up and it was May 16th 2023, to be exact. That would be 4 months ago, not 3 as you said. I see your math and professionalism are just about as good as your food. Interesting.

I can't say enough good things about Anthony's Italian Grill. The food was fresh and amazing. The service was fast ,friendly, efficient and extremely polite(Great job Hannah). This place is classy, yet not out of reach of most people. I highly recommend trying Anthony's. I'm going back again and again until i sample the whole menu.
