The al fresco dining area
Michael R.

This is my favorite pizza in the entire city. Usually I call ahead and get takeout but I have eaten in the restaurant as well and it was a very enjoyable experience with great service. On a nice evening it's great to sit outside and people watch added benefit is it's only 2 blocks to Lake Eola so you can walk off the calories. The thing that makes this pizza my favorite is that the crust is thin and it has the perfect amount of cheese on it. But the sauce is the best I have ever had. I normally like toppings on pizza but with Anthony's I want plain cheese so I can savor the perfection

I came here with one of my girlfriends for dinner because the restaurant we wanted to go had an hour wait and parking was impossible to find in the area, so we decided to go with Anthony's because of their private lot. We should've went elsewhere. The server was very nice and considerate, but the food was not good. My friend was feeling unwell because she hadn't eaten much that day, so asked for their soup of the day. The server brought it put within a few minutes, which was unexpectedly fast. She took one bite, then passed it to me to try. It tasted terrible and was cold even though it had just been brought out. (The server did take that off the bill). She also ordered the bruschetta, which was also all cold. I took a piece and the bread which should have just been toasted was cold like it just came out of the fridge, as well as the tomato and mozzarella. For myself, I ordered the mushroom truffle pasta. I ate it because I was hungry, but it was not sitting well as the night went on. It could be that I'm not used to eating pasta and maybe that's why my stomach was fighting digesting it, but who knows. There are better places to eat in Thornton Park, so I'll be skipping this restaurant in the future.

Small pizza
Ash W.

Okay, firstly, not our first time here. The food here is really good. Service is always great. We stopped in and sat at the bar, very nice and quiet. I received their email that told me about their fall specials. A Thanksgiving Stromboli with turkey, stuffing, cranberry, and gravy.... That's right up my alley. So that is what I ordered, we also got a small pizza. The pizza was great, of course. The Stromboli was HUGE, and I expected it to be, it still can shock you when it comes out The Stromboli was everything you would think it was. Very good. Overall, we come here often and have always had a great time. Definitely check it out if you can.

Buffalo Wings
Brad T.

Came here for brunch and ordered wings. Dont judge! So the wings were a great size and cooked really well. The buffalo was solid but I probably should've got them spicier The lemon pepper was amazing! Honestly, sitting outside and dinning was pretty fun. There was a TV too so we were able to watch sports

Apparently this is a Chicken Palermo?????

"What I Ordered vs What I Got" I ordered a simple Chicken Palermo with chicken, shrimp and broccoli. You know, the red/orange ziti pasta? Well, I received an ALL WHITE meal, I wish I knew what flavor it was. It was disgusting. Chicken was raw, the shrimp was weirdly salty, and the spaghetti pasta was barely soaked. Just hard. Shouldn't be an issue to just call and get it straightened out with simply getting my correct order, right? No lol wrong. The woman who answered the phone gave me attitude because I told her my order was wrong and was simply wondering if I could retrieve my CORRECT order. "Well no, I put the right order out and it was sent out" in the most condescending tone. The attitude continued as I continued to explain, very disheartening as I was starving too. She didn't even apologize or say bye at the end of the call, just hung up. Disappointing because this was my second time ordering, I wanted the same experience I had my first time around. I just knew I'd be a loyal customer with 95 orders within three months. Work on it! Your 1-Star reviews are growing and it doesn't have to be that way!

Mushroom appetizer
Jacqueline W.

My daughter and I visited Anthony's tonight, and it was quite the treat! We started with the cheese garlic knots, which were only $6.99 and absolutely delicious. I ordered the honey hot wings and a mushroom appetizer. The wings were some of the best I've ever had--perfectly cooked with great flavor. The mushroom appetizer was interesting? The seating was comfortable, the service was fast and attentive, and overall it was a very enjoyable dining experience. We'll definitely be back!

Pepperoni pizza
Joe W.

My son and I had limited time to eat before a show, so I called in advance to see if we could place an order (or get a pizza started for us) before we arrived to sit down and eat. While they stated normally they don't, especially on a weekend, Savannah accommodated us. Not only was the pizza ready for us just a few moments after sitting down, but her service was impeccable. My son, a pizza connoisseur, believes this is a top 5 pizza in Central Florida, and though it was our first time trying it, I don't disagree at all. Thank you so much for the food and friendly service, Savannah.

Garlic knots
Lawrence U.

This place has been consistent when it comes to food. Garlic knots are fresh and tasty. The sweet garlic topping not too greasy. The turn around was fast for the appetizer. Ordered the pizza, Hot Honey- pepperoni, sopraseta, mozzarella, red onions, with a drizzle of hot honey. Service was fast and friendly. Parking is a challenge especially on weekends. Place is clean.

Tonia G.

Highly recommend if you're in the Thornton park area if you're craving some pizza!! It is as so good and the cheese was a perfect cheesy combination. Service also was great & friendly

Elfrida R.

Placed an online order for pickup; easy and simple. Went to pickup and the restaurant is cute and clean. The staff was nice except for one young lady behind the counter that seemed annoyed. The restaurant is walking distance from Lake Eola. Their pizza is delicious. My boss only buys pizza from them. He calls the the big pizza chains fake, and will only eat pizza from Anthony's. He said that is as close to Italian as you can get. My apologies for not taking pics of the piz

Cucumber, basil, mint martini, and the Caprese salad
Neyha D.

If you get blessed by this creative beautiful woman and team goes out of her way every time Brigette from the food that the kitchen lays out the service with every server gets better. I had Savannah today. Everything Bridget does here is exceptional the team that's here is exceptional

Chicken Palermo, meatball sliders, fried ravioli
Cheryl W.

This was a perfect dinner spot before a Magic game! Since we were there during happy hour, we tried the meatball sliders and fried ravioli from the happy hour food menu. Both were excellent, and of course it's always a bonus to have food options on the happy hour menu for parties that include members who can't drink! We also had the Chicken Palermo which our server recommended. It was absolutely delicious-- very flavorful and thick sauce, pasta cooked to perfection, and juicy chicken throughout. Our server was fantastic. Super friendly, attentive without being overwhelming, and so thoughtful with the whole experience. We sat in the outdoor seating which was lovely (& covered to protect you from whatever Florida elements are present at the time you go). It had a casual yet nice vibe which we really enjoyed and reasonable prices for the quality of food and atmosphere. We will absolutely be back!

Mason L.

Really solid experience! It was my first time coming here and I definitely wasn't disappointed. We opted to sit inside because of the heat, but outside definitely seemed like it would be more enjoyable. Super generous portion and really good price. Service, admittedly, was good but almost...too attentive lol. It felt like they were checking on us too often, especially for as quiet as it was inside.

The headless whole fish stuff with fresh garlic & capers was served over a large portion of broccolini. The taste was amazing and the portion was generous. I was only able to finish a quarter of my entree but there was no way I was leaving anything behind. Several guests felt the same and also requested to go containers. Hubby and I passed on Tiramisu. We had no room left. Overall this was an amazing dining experience. I applaud the staff for the excellent service they delivered. I hope to visit the next time we're in Orlando.

Everything was very fresh and delicious. We all ordered different dishes and no one had any complaint about any of them which is rare for a party of that size. The calamari was so good that it took me back to when I spent time in Italy during the summer and I wish I could've ate more if I wasn't so full. The portion size of the meals were great, especially considering the cost of the meal. You definitely get a great bang for your buck. All of my friends and I were at a consensus of this is a place that we have to visit again! I can't wait to go back and try more dishes and drink drinks.

Our reservation wasn't until 8pm on a Tuesday, but despite the timing, the restaurant was packed during our entire meal.

For entrees, we had the Rigatoni alla Zozzona and the Aragosta e Frutti di Mare Fra Diavolo. The rigatoni was a flavorful, creamy pasta dish, which we preferred over the other, but both were great. The Aragosta featured lots of fresh seafood. For dessert, we had the crème brûlée, which was lit on fire, and a cannoli. An excellent meal overall! The ambiance inside is classic Italian with dim lighting and a lot of noise due to the busyness of the restaurant - not a complaint, just an observation. There's also an accordion player that goes around, which is a nice touch. The service was very high end and professional, although it was a bit slow. We were seated quickly, but it took a while before we were provided any menus, and once we ordered it took quite some time for the food to arrive. Overall, this is definitely a great date night or special occasion spot worth trying!

I might get the pesto and mortadella on repeat for the foreseeable future. The pizzas can be ordered in Thin crust or Detroit style.

In Atlanta this was one of our go-to easy dates night spots if we had some shopping to do at Lenox. We had an unexpectedly boozy night the night before and wanted something easy and delicious and known instead of our initial plan to try a wine bar that was new to us. I skipped drinks altogether. Sean got a glass of Pinot Noir I got a favorite of mine- the Bolognese and my husband got the chicken parm. Both we were familiar with from previous experiences at the Atlanta location. Both solid choices. We also had a bread service and vining at served with that was different. Really good and a touch sweet. I asked the server to find out what the brand of vinegar used was and she did. She also offered to get me a little cup of it to take home with additional bread. What she actually brought out was a soup cup full of it. I looked up the brand and she basically gave me a full bottle of the vinegar free of charge as a take home garnish. What a sweet and and adorable gesture. Management; you are seeing this she was delightful and so sweet and I hope I did not get her in trouble. This was an incredibly kind gesture. She could not have been more adorable helpful or likable. We also got the butter cake. The seasonal version was a banana and oh my god was it good. We almost ordered a second helping. Just a fair warning if you dine at night this location is quite dark. Our Server was Justice who was truly the sweetest person.

**Avoid This Place - Ruined Birthday Experience**…read more We went here to celebrate a birthday, and while the staff did acknowledge the occasion with a birthday wish upon arrival, the entire dining experience went downhill fast from there. We ordered from the 3-course Magical Dining menu, expecting a standard 1-hour dinner. Instead, it was dragged out over 2 agonizing hours. The lack of customer service and attentiveness was appalling; it took an eternity for each course to reach our table. We couldn't help but feel we were being sidelined and deprioritized simply because we opted for the promotional menu. To prove it wasn't a kitchen delay, the table right next to us was turned over *twice* while we were still waiting on our meals. The General Manager did end up removing an appetizer from our final bill to try to make up for the atrocious service, but taking a few dollars off doesn't fix a ruined birthday dinner. To top it off, when I tried to share feedback directly, the QR code on the receipt to fill out their customer survey conveniently didn't work either. Save your time and money--go somewhere that actually values your business regardless of what menu you order from.
