Service attentive, menu broad, food delish. I love that it is close to home and they make a great Lemon Drop Martini read more

Antique Table - Good times - Italian Near Me - Lynn, Massachusetts

If you are looking for delicious food with the most beautiful ambiance, go to Antique table. Be careful when driving by, you might miss the place. It is a tiny little restaurant that serves the most flavorful food. We started off with the 3 meatballs, sorry there's no picture we dove right in. I had the Antique table fettuccini which is homemade fettuccini with grilled shrimp. My boyfriend had the pasta Miguel. Both were gone in minutes. Then we went for the cannoli and tiramisu for dessert, unbelievably good. This little place tops any place in the North End. Do yourself a favor and visit! read more

We were visiting from out of town and were absolutely starving when we got here. The food was very good and the atmosphere was cozy. Our server, Sean (Shawn?), was incredibly hospitable and accommodating. Just be warned that if you are at all nervous about COVID, avoid this place. It was packed, tables were very close together, and NO ONE was wearing masks, even though Google said they require it. It made me very nervous, and looking back, it was an unnecessary risk. We are both vaccinated but I still regret taking the chance. If we hadn't been so hungry, we would have left, and now I wish we had. I don't see how this place doesn't eventually become a super-spreader site. read more

Tried antique table's Lynn location after enjoying a great meal in their Winthrop location a few months ago. What a huge disappointment --this location falls far short of my expectations for a nice Sunday afternoon lunch. The Lynn building is a dilapidated excuse for an antique setting so much so that the ceiling was leaking onto my daughter because it was raining outside (and in). Not funny......The dingy room is poorly lit but enough light for you to see the mold growing on the 'stucco' walls and the giant clusters of cob webs floating above your head on the rafters! The floor is terribly tilted and my chair had a sharp broken wooden slat visible on the back which could tear your clothing and should have been repaired or thrown out. Service was meh, one server for the whole restaurant and a few bus kids helping out....nothing was the fault of the server who was efficient and friendly, but seriously, if a guest in Your establishment has a leaky ceiling dripping down on them, I think more could have been done than to ask if the drips went into your water glass! Couldn't wait to pay and leave this place and will never go back. I suggest you go the extra few miles and enjoy your meal at the Winthrop location -- high time to renovate the Lynn place ! Only getting 2 stars because our food was good.....should have done take out but we live a bit far for that. read more

Some of the best Italian food I've ever had! My wife and I ordered takeout from here over the weekend and we couldn't have been more happy. She ordered the Chicken Miguel and I got the Chicken Piccata and we split an order of the Eggplant Rollatini. The portions were huge (we each got 2 meals out of it) and it was delicious. They also do a great job during COVID times of making sure staff are masked and wearing gloves when handing you your food through a divider. I would definitely recommend Antique Table. read more

excellent food and service! the place is so quaint and cozy and well appointed. I am obsessed with the Boscaiola pizza and we always get it as an appetizer. I also love the veal saltimbocca and florentine, Parking is always easy for us as there is a small lot and additional street parking. This place is a hidden gem- highly recommend! read more

It's been a longtime since I wrote a review, and in the last 10 years we haven't been to this restaurant, it's literally 2 minutes from my house, but I have to say, the food was amazing, the hospitality from the staff was amazing.. the biggest problem is that we did not know that the restaurant was there.. they need to show the locals where they read more

Antique table is located in an unassuming building in Lynn, but don't let the exterior fool you. They make some of the best Italian food I've ever had. I simply couldn't stop eating once I sat down. Everything from the appetizers to the bread to the entrees was second to none. North End has nothing on this place. We got the chicken miguel and the lasagne bolognese. Our server was fantastic with the wine suggestions as well. The atmosphere is casual, good for a date, family dinner or celebration. read more

Absolutely hands down the best meal I've had in a while. The food was amazing beyond my expectations. The service even during COVID was top notch. The owner was at our table twice and the server was on top of everything. Definitely cannot have a better experience than I've had today. Thanks for the amazing food and service read more

I love the Antique table, I live in Swampscott and frequent the Lynn location. At work I often order take out from the Winthrop location. Sometimes when a restaurant is consistent they sacrifice a little excellence, not so with the owners or the staff of the Antique table. I wish a recommend a dish but I don't have a favorite there are all excellent. During the uncertain times when the government was doing everything it could to make us uncomfortable and insecure by purposely destroying millions of businesses and lives while ignoring science and stealing our most freedoms and rights. They even took away our right to vote when they fixed the presidential election. They are fucking laughing at us. Through all of this it is nice that the Antique Table is there to remind us of what free men can do read more

Food was fresh, and amazingly tasty! Waiter was prompt, pleasant and fun! (Ryan;) Small "North End" atmosphere, along with the great food was such a pleasurable experience and will definitely be going back! read more

I have to give the Antique Table in Lynn a 2 star rating after our meal on on Valentine's Day this year. It was always a 5 star until this night.. we usually go 6/7 times a year for the last 5 years. we had reservations at 5:30 for Table 1 which I made on Feb. 01st. when we arrived at 5:25 that night we noticed that people had just been seated at the table we had reservations for at 5:30. I said that we had reservations at 5:30 for table 1 and Leon said sorry about but never asked the other people to move. he seated us in another table. when we we ordered our meals. we were disappointed. we ordered Veal Francase and Veal saltimboca both came with Alfredo Sauce. The sauce was so thick and heavy that we did not finished it and declined to take any home. I spoke to Leon and said we were disappointed and if the manager was there he said that he wasn't. he asked for my email address so that the manager could get back to me and discuss our disappointment. as of Feb. 21st a week later no one has gotten back to me.

Our son who lives in Marblehead told us about this amazing restaurant. We were coming from Logan and we wanted to stop for Italian food. This restaurant is right on the Swampscott/Lynn line. The hostess who was also our waitress was very pleasant and told us that she had been at the restaurant for 8 years. She knew many of the customers who were coming in to dine. She explained that they were regulars which to me is a great sign. We ordered a bottle of Sangiovese which was reasonably priced. We ordered the grilled romaine salad,eggplant rollatini, Antique Table Chicken Saltimbocca and Bolognese with House made pasta. Everything surpassed our expectations! We actually went back the next night for takeout because we enjoyed it so much. We can't wait to go back!!! read more

As I write this review, it's shocking to notice how much the food has changed at Antique Table Lynn location . The to go order was not what I expected . The carbonara was a third of what they serve you and it was salty , the penne vodka tasted Like plain sauce and finally the desserts were thrown into a to go cup . Whoever packed this order be careful , it gives the restaurant a bad image . I was a customer ,since the original owner had this one location in lynn a long time ago. After tonight , I felt that the $95.00 dollar to go order was a mistake . I am sad to say I will not return to antique table . I hope the owner focuses on quality and not quantity . I do see more locations , which might be the reason food is rated as 1 today . read more

This was a unique restaurant to dine at, the decor was warm, inviting and still very old school. Perfect balance while dining. The food and drink options were great. Highly recommend it! read more

Food was amazing and pasta was fresh. Kiki, our server, was super cool and the ambiance was boutique. Really enjoyed this gem close to Salem. read more

A summary of dinner at The Antique Table, Lynn, MA Saturday, October Saturday 8, 2022 My sister and I took our parents for their 60th wedding anniversary to your restaurant on the date above. The experience was very uneven: * Waiter, Ryan, was fantastic o Knew the menu o Could describe differences o Was personable and prompt o We placed our orders with him and awaited our meals * Someone named "Kiki" came by and told us that Ryan was on break and that she would be serving us. * Ryan was not on break - he was at the bar and remained there for the remainder of our stay. * Our meals arrived when we were all quizzed: "Who had the fish, etc.?" We were then handed our plates. Much like Applebees. * The food was very good. * Kiki came back and asked about dessert and coffee and we placed our orders. * Our dessert and coffee came out but our dinner plates were still in front of us. * It fell upon us to stack / hand plates to staff. Again, Applebees. * Dessert and coffee were fine. * My dad asked for another napkin. He got a cheap paper napkin. Applebees. * As we were leaving, my dad tripped and fell on a napkin that was on the floor. He is 86 years old and needed help getting up (from me). * Given that the pre-tip bill came to over $265, I expected more. * If I want Applebees, I will go to Applebees at one third the cost. read more

So I have eaten here 3 or 4 times now and figured I should finally give a review. This place is on the Swampscott/ Lynn boarder...literally. I think the front door is located in Swampscott and the bar area and rest rooms are in Lynn. And it's not really that big of a restaurant. Cozy and warm, with home town charm and pleasant servers, the Italian food here tends toward the classic and rustic. All the usual dishes can be found. I had the Chicken Saltimbocca and substituted the risotto for the usual pasta, at my servers suggestions and it was great. Warning, it's a very rich dish (I took half home) and it seemed like a lot of butter was included. I Love Butter! For an appetizer, I had the Prosciutto Rollatine which was very tasty, especially the red peppers, and a perfect size for a starter. My Better half raved about his Chicken Marsala, and I had a few bites and concurred! He also had the Eggplant Rollatine which was wonderful. This is comfort food...Not diet food. Portions are LARGE here, so plan on taking some home. His Caprese Salad was beautiful to look at and better to eat. Photo ready (and tasty) tomato slices, roasted peppers and huge portions of buffalo mozzarella...heaven on a plate. If you live in the area, and have not been here, give it a shot. The food is GREAT, the ambiance is warm and inviting, and it's clearly a favorite of the locals. Busy on weekends, especially at 8pm. No reservations taken or necessary for parties of two. ENJOY! read more

Small, corner, Italian restaurant with an unusual decor. Close tables, a bit noisey, with friendly and prompt service. The menu has a selection for most anyone with a taste for Italian. We had the meatball appetizer. This was terrific. The entrées at our table varied. I had the veal piccata which I thought was okay. I expect most would be satisfied with their choice for a meal. To me I felt it lacked the special taste and preparation to make it a "comeback" choice. read more

Food is fresh and authenticity Italian. This is the second tome here. Atmosphere is warm and cozy. Our service was a bit slow but the place was mobbed. I would recommend but making a reservation. read more

My first visit to this hidden gem was a great experience. The best food, meticulous service, and an old world, earthy elegant, but cozy atmosphere put this place in a class by itself. Eclectic menu to appease everyone. Anderson was one of the best servers I've had in a long time. Check it out. read more

Love this place all the staff is amazing!! Great service !! Had one of the specials tonight it was delicious! After a long hard day it was a great treat to be there! read more

This place can be crazy busy at dinnertime (a sign of something good), but we prefer lunch. Quieter, the tightness of the small space isn't as bothersome, same menu, same amazing bread/oil. I have never had anything here that I do NOT like. The risotto was amazing/off the charts. But hands down, my personal favorite, is the clam chowder. It is the best around. And that's saying something in New England. read more

Came all the way from NYC to visit family. I was craving Italian food and found this hidden gem. Best authentic Italian food in Lynn, MA with a grandmas house ambiance warm, cozy and softly lit. Great spot to come on a date or with the kids! read more

I had about an hour to kill after taking the train to Swampscott. I was waiting to be picked up for a holiday dinner. I felt like family when I walked into this place. Alissa was so friendly. Great cup of cappuccino and the eggplant lasagna melted in my mouth. Make this a place to visit. The staff is friendly.and the food was really good! read more

How Disappointing! Have gone twice, but will not be going back due to our most recent terrible experience with staff and management. Our main course was cold when it was served and it came an 90+minutes after arriving for a special dinner occasion with our family. I complained to the management but was told sometimes "that happens in restaurants". Numerous calls to the Owner / Senior Manager after our poor experience went with zero response. We are telling all of our friends, relatives and co-workers to avoid this place like the Bubonic Plague as it is very disappointing and extremely over-rated. Recommendation: Get It Right the First Time - Quality over Quantity! read more

I hate to give this place two stars because the food and prices are spot-on. I think I've ordered every pizza on the menu and liked them all. My husband has tried a number of the pasta dishes and talked about them the whole ride home. We were so excited to have found this little spot. However, on my last visit to Antique Table I was taking one of my interns out for a "farewell" lunch and we were seated by the row of windows at the front of the restaurant. I didn't notice it right away but when I turned toward the windowsill it was littered with dead bugs (flies mostly). I was so disgusted (it was obvious that they had been there for a while - it wasn't just one or two) and prayed that my poor intern wouldn't notice before I could pay the check. read more

Such a hidden treasure! Antique Table is in the most unlikely location, literally on the Lynn/ Swampscott line in a free standing building which has truly been transformed into something quite magical inside. Trees grow through the walls with branches overhead, rustic touches abound and while it's all a little "homemade" looking the overall effect is charming. We've been in three times now. Service is always very attentive and helpful, and my only real complaint I would have with the place is that the service can almost be TOO familiar. That said, it's a small matter and not really a major issue. The food is sublime. Pay special attention to the specials which are always a standout. On my last visit I had the grilled Salmon which was cooked perfectly medium and topped with a tomato caper sauce. The dining partner in crime had the housemade Ricotta Gnocchi. A revelation. Pasta is what you really want though. The Orchiette Pasta with sausage and broccoli rabe is intoxicating. The fusili Bolognese will make you want to lick the bowl, or at the very least, ask for more bread to mop up every last bit of sauce. Prices are very reasonable making AT an inviting frequent stop if you live in the "hood, and a quality destination for those of us who do not. If there is less than four of you in your party, plan to come early or wait at the bar as It's always busy and they only take reservations for parties for four or more. read more

Truly a hidden gem -- I don't think there's anything else I can say that another reviewer already hasn't. I went there with four other people this past Saturday night and we had an amazing meal there. My boyfriend had heard about this place from a friend, and after his recent move to Lynn, we've been wanting to try it out for a while. Saturday night seemed to be the perfect time to do so. We called around 7:30 to ask if they had any open reservations that evening for a party at five, and they said we could come in at 9:00 (they close at 10pm, which is a tad early, but understandable for the 'burbs), which was perfect. The restaurant is literally located on the Lynn/Swampscott line and there is some parking on the surrounding streets. The inside is quite small -- there were probably around a dozen tables or so, with a semi-open kitchen and a bar. There was a fake tree growing in one corner, and the tables and chairs were all wooden. "Antique Table" is the perfect name for this place, because that's exactly how it looked -- rustic and antique. It was still quite busy considering we didn't get there until 9pm. We were seated promptly and Maureen came to get our drink order (I don't know if she's an owner or whatnot, but it seemed like it). She is exactly like how I would have pictured an Italian mother -- right down to the sense of humor! We got two appetizers to share (mussels and bruschetta), a bottle or Chianti, and each of us got an entree. We asked for the mussels to be made with a spicy red sauce, which they happily accommodated, and it was delicious! The mussels were nice and meaty, the portions were huge, and the sauce was very spicy -- just how we asked for it. The bruschetta was incredibly fresh and delicious as well. For dinner, I had the Gnocci Basilico and it was wonderful. The gnocci was a tad burnt on one side, but the sauce it was in was wonderful and everyone else enjoyed their food as well. A quiet table is always good, because it means everyone is busy eating! The final bill for five entrees, two appetizers, a bottle of wine, and six Peronis came to a little under $150. We were shocked when we saw how low the bill was! If you are anywhere in the area, or if you are willing to make the trek up to Lynn, this place is definitely worth checking out. Manga manga! read more

BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE Three of us made reservations for Friday night at 7. We sat at the bar and ordered a drink waiting for our table as they were not ready for our table until 7:30. The strange thing was that while waiting, they simply treated us like we were just in the way. Waitresses give you dirty looks. Service help obviously taking out their frustrations with each other as you can clearly tell they just don't want to be there. You order waters and bread while you look at the menu and you watching them blatantly talk to each other in the kithen for an excessive amount of time rather than bring you your water? We walked out we were so insulted. They treat you like they don't like you and don't care if you know it. Small, cramped and certainly not run by italians, this place belongs in lynn. You can do better. read more

I have heard so many good things about the Antique Table so we decided to stop in for lunch while we were off work....all the great things people have said in reviews are true. Service was excellent, atmosphere was nice and warm and the food was amazing....now we need to return for dinner because there are so many options. For lunch I had the House Special Panini (minus the mayo) and my husband had the Hot Sub Special.....we both agreed we should share something next time as the portion was huge....but the quality was outstanding. read more

Antique Table - Crazy good sandwich = Food coma - Italian Near Me - Lynn, Massachusetts

We have been here a couple times and the food is always really good and the service is okay. It's very small but has this really great tacky atmosphere. It's definitely got that Italian feel. The place doesn't take reservations for a table for two which can be a little frustrating. At times it can feel a little cramped but overall it's worth it for the great food. Great date night restaurant since it is intimate and cozy. Wouldn't recommend for a large group since you will be smushed in at awkward tables. Worth the trip if you don't mind the small setting, and the possibility of having to wait for a table. read more

Antique Table - Italian Near Me - Lynn, Massachusetts

YUMMMS. let me start of by saying my boyfriend and I tried this place on a whim after reading so many good reviews on here from fellow yelpers. we were not disappointed. honestly felt like we died and went to heaven. (we don't know what people were talking about giving this place less then 4 stars) our entrees were some of the best italian dishes we had ever had. my boyfriend got the soup to start off which i believe was a chicken vegetable, and a chicken cesar salad. i ordered the ricotta gnocci alfredo and mushroom. this defiantly HIT THE SPOT. the atmosphere was very quaint and old school italian, also our server reminded us of adam sandler. parking is kinda tight and frustrating, yet i guess this is what you get from dining in Lynn Lynn the city of sin. will be back! :) read more

I came here on a work trip to Saugus recently. The group I was working with suggested something local before we went out to Boston the next day. I was just excited to go out to eat for the first time in MA. I was excited about the people I was going with, the food, the accents, everything. I think it is a really cute place. From the outside you don't really know what to expect, so I'm sure they have a lot of referral based consumers. I feel like if I was Italian I could have appreciated the decor even more, however I could not relate to anything from the paintings, lamps, lighting..etc. Which is fine, I like to learn new things about different cultures and revisit the "old world," from time to time. We were sat promptly, and it was a little busy for a Tuesday night. Our waiter was cute, but he didn't make any recommendations, explain the specials or the menu. It was a group of 7 women, and we were all talking so that's fine. The bread was a bit odd, not warm, there was some kind of mushroom on it. The basil oil they served it with was EXCELLENT, that's why I wish the bread was a little tastier. I had the three cheese ravioli which was terrific. The pasta was well done, the sauce could have been a little spicier, and the cheese was creamy. Everyone else's food looked good as well. Two of the girls had penne a la vodka, my only issue with that was too many large uncut vegetables on the plate. Overall though, I had a great time. We stayed past closing and they didn't have a problem. I would definitely come back here. It was cozy, the food was tasty and I felt like I could be more like myself rather than at some other really fancy dim-lit place. Grade A recommendation. read more

Hidden gem. This place is one of a kind for sure. Food is great, different atmosphere. It is a very small place. Not enough room but we'll worth it. Reasonably priced (a little on the high side). Went there and got the same meal I always get and unfortunately the meal didn't taste the same (flavor less- diavolo usually flavorful) And the shrimp were bad. Had that old distinct flavor. Hopefully it was just a bad night for them. read more

Cozy and unique atmosphere with great eats!! We ordered meatballs, chicken parmigiana, and chicken picata. Looking forward to going back!

I was the guest of my sister/brother-in-law for dinner here on Monday, June 11th. Being a Monday, they were certain it wouldn't be crowded. We were seated immediately but open tables were few. Alisa was our waitress and gave outstanding, attentive service throughout our dinner. I had the Halibut Special. It couldn't have been more flavorful, succulent and beautifully presented. My hearty appetite was completely satisfied by the portion offering and would highly recommend this fine establishment. Had only been once before, but must return again soon. Thank you for a terrific dinner!! read more
