We had a lovely lunch celebrating a birthday. Appetizers were, well, so appetizing! Breaded deep fried artichokes bathed in a lovely and velvety lemon butter sauce with a bit of arugula and capers. The calamari were fresh, so crispy and tender. For entrees we had the mesclun greens salad with apples, strawberries, candied pecans and goat cheese with a light balsamic vinaigrette, so fresh and delicious, the linguine mare chiari was visually attractive and good to the last tendril of linguine acting as a nest for shrimp and clams. The desserts were lovely; we sampled the spumoni, the tiramisu and the cannoli. A truly delightful way to sweetly end a convivial and companionable luncheon. Alyssa was pleasant, professional and politely prompt with all requests and questions.

My group of 4 had the small Thanksgiving dinner, and small lasagna, both were VERY good! I wasn't sure about turkey at an Italian restaurant, but they nailed it! We had plenty to take home. They do a nice job there of making it a fun experience.

The menu is varied and includes many tasty options. We both decided on the penne with chicken. Mine was hot and delicious; my partner’s was lukewarm at best. The bread and honey butter are wonderful. Erin, our server, was terrific—friendly and knowledgeable. She made it a very pleasant experience.

The best compliment I can give them is that the pizza and the special salad are delicious, just as good as they were for so many years at Antonio’s restaurant!

Excellent food and service. We will definitely be back!
