    Eggplant rollatini with gnocchi
    Kendall M.

    I can't say enough good things about Antonios! What a gem of an Italian restaurant. Located in Micanopy, a rural area between Gainesville and ocala. If you're driving by around dinner time, make the stop! Or, if you're willing to make a short drive out of town, know that The food here stands up to the highest big city standards. I personally love the gnocchi Genovese. The gnocchi here are handmade daily and prepared with care. This dish is on the sweeter side, but I love the creamy pesto combined with balsamic glaze. Divine! One time I stopped by and had a daily special of eggplant rollatini- also extremely delicious. You can't go wrong! Their side salads are fresh and tasty, and their desserts are impeccable as well. I love the tiramisu. The homey atmosphere and conscientious waitstaff are always consistent. Antonio's is one of my favorite Italian staples around northern Florida. Well done, chef!

    Gnocchi with chicken

    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.

    Bruschetta was absolutely outstanding!! Texture was great and it was loaded with fresh ingredients

    As I read some of the other reviews I find myself wondering if it was the same restaurant. Let me start off by saying this establishment significantly exceeded my expectations! Located just minutes from the bustle of Gainesville. Staff, quaintness, charm, service, choices, variety and food freshness and taste... I have nothing but high praise. Let's start with the ambiance and decor. Interesting art, textured wallpaper, cloth linens. Somewhat retro but still classy. Nothing felt cheesy or tacky. Staff- warm, cheerful, friendly and helpful. Big smiles at the door by a cheery host. Our server was delightful! I so wish I could recall her name. She had extensive knowledge of the menu and no question was too much. Efficient but not overbearing. She was excellent. Food- we each had a soup and ate half and traded. 5 stars as the soup was clearly homemade and delicious. You must order the bruschetta!! (See pic) I had eggplant parmigiana, cooked to perfection and flavorful too. Served with a side of pasta that was cooked perfectly. Hubs had the fish special and he is still raving about it. Sadly we didn't save room for dessert but we will next time.

    Lobster ravioli

    I really wanted to love this restaurant after searching for a quality Italian spot ever since Leonardo's 706 closed, but sadly it just didn't quite do it for me. The service was amazing, the ambience was nice and quaint, but sadly the food was just decent, and nothing mind blowing. We ordered a burrata to start, and it was definitely the toughest burrata I've ever had. Usually I think of a creamy soft inside when I cut into burrata, however this version was rather tough inside. The burrata was still tasty, just different. Next we went for the chicken parmigiana and the lobster ravioli, and both just left more to be desired. The chicken was somewhat tough and didn't taste well cooked throughout. The lobster ravioli was decent on first bite but the lobster was just overly powerful, and the creamy sauce just made the dish too decadent to eat more than a few bites. I will say the tiramisu was interesting in terms of its deconstructed presentation, and I enjoyed it. I don't think I'll sadly be making the drive out to micanopy for anything other than the pizza up the road, but I enjoyed the pleasant people that I met in the restaurant!

    Unique is the best way to describe this place. The restaurant is an ancient small home turned restaurant with old chandeliers and archaic wallpaper to go with the theme. There is no music playing so it can be a little eerie with how quiet it gets at times. Our waiter was even whispering to us due to how quiet it was, trying to not disturb other guests. The place is tiny with room for only about 10 or so small tables. Make sure you have a reservation since they may not be able to seat you without one. The setting of the restaurant and its quaint feel does give a unique and personalized service that you won't really find anywhere else. The service was the high point. They had 3 waiters working and since the place is so small it let our waiter be extremely attentive and personable to us. We ordered a bruschetta appetizer that was just very simple. It tasted fine but was basically just stale bread with chopped tomatoes on top. I ordered a chicken parmigiana that came with choice of soup or salad. I went with a Caesar salad that ended up being literally 3 lettuce leaves uncut with Caesar dressing drizzled and a few croutons. Again it was extremely basic. The chicken parm was delicious however, the sauce was really good. This place is not cheap, and for the quality of food received and for it being a restaurant in an old home from likely the 1800's I don't think it's entirely worth the price you pay. However if you want a truly unique experience and great personalized service, this place would be worth checking out.

    Great photo ops around the property as well!

Pat ordered chicken parmesan with angel hair pasta, while our guest ordered eggplant parmesan, but the orders were not served correctly. The biggest issue was the lack of attention to detail. One of our guests was drinking a specific wine, and the server came by and poured Chardonnay into her glass without even asking first. No one offered to replace it or make up for the mistake, which was very disappointing. We were also confused by a $4.95 charge that appeared to be listed as ranch dressing, when it really seemed to be for the salad. We had expected salad to come with dinner, so that was another letdown. This was actually our second poor experience. On a previous visit, the restaurant was so crowded that it took more than 30 minutes for anyone to take our order. We understand mistakes happen, but service and follow-through matter. Unfortunately, based on these experiences, we do not plan to return. Looking back it appears two years ago I gave this restaurant another try review - hasn't changed sorry to say!

The fish was tender, perfectly cooked, and complemented beautifully by a delicate lemon butter sauce with capers that added just the right balance of brightness and flavor. The pasta was rich, comforting, and generously portioned, making the dish both satisfying and memorable. Alongside it, I had the opportunity to try the Mama's Lasagna, and it truly lived up to its name. Every layer tasted as though it came straight from a family kitchen rather than a commercial chain restaurant. Rich tomato sauce, melted cheese, and hearty flavors combined to create that unmistakable feeling of homemade comfort food. To finish, I enjoyed a classic Tiramisu paired with a perfectly pulled espresso. What stood out just as much as the food was the overall experience. The wait time was very reasonable, the service was warm and attentive, and our waitress was genuinely welcoming throughout the evening. The portions were generous, the prices were fair, and every dish reflected care and attention to detail. In a world increasingly dominated by corporate dining concepts, it is refreshing to find a restaurant that still serves food with authenticity, tradition, and soul. If you are looking for honest Italian comfort food, generous portions, excellent value, and a dining experience that feels personal rather than commercial, this is absolutely a place worth visiting. I will gladly return.

The manager came by to make sure the new one was to our liking and also offered more suggestions the next time we came in. We shared a Abruzzese pizza which was delicious. Along with regular dough, they offer gluten free and cauliflower crusts. The inside of the restaurant is small but feels comfortable with booths. Tables and bar seating.

The prices are absurd. Very expensive for a pizza place and not worth the money. They serve your food on paper plates with plastic silverware. With how expensive the food is, that is ridiculous. The food was fine. Nothing great, nothing bad. Very high priced for what you get. The only thing making this 3 instead of 2 stars is because the food is fine.

Now, we have an unspoken (but strictly enforced) vacation rule: no cooking. If we so much as touch a stove while away from home, the vacation gods might revoke our travel privileges. So, out we went in search of a good meal. With plenty of choices around, one spot immediately caught our attention--and my Argentinian heart skipped a beat. Dinner was an absolute delight! The restaurant is small and cozy, and we managed to snag the last table (cue victory dance). We shared three empanadas, Fugazzeta, and a salad--all delicious. But let's talk about the Fugazzeta, shall we? For those unfamiliar, Fugazzeta is a glorious, cheese-stuffed pizza from Argentina. Picture an avalanche of gooey cheese sandwiched between two layers of dough, crowned with caramelized onions. It's a masterpiece. I have been in the U.S. since 1978, and I had yet to find Fugazzeta here--until now! The moment I saw it on the menu, I knew it was destiny. And let me tell you, it did not disappoint. Cheesy? Oh yes. Borderline illegal amounts of cheese? Possibly. Crispy crust on the edges, soft and pillowy everywhere else--pure perfection. The empanadas? Excellent. Paired wonderfully with a glass of Malbec. Service was warm, friendly, and welcoming--just the cherry on top of an already great meal. Now, my friend has been trying to convince us to move to Inverness for a while. And well... this place might just tip the scales.
