Antonio's is THE Italian restaurant to go to in Central Florida. The cozy atmosphere, fantastic service, delicious food, nice view/seating, and marketplace/bakery...is everything you could want when you're dining out. Easily accessible parking lot with signage that states which entrance is for the bakery vs main door. There is a different menu for the dining area downstairs vs the restaurant upstairs. There are different dining sections upstairs, I was seated in the bar section. My party of 3 had a table next to the window with a nice view of Lake Lily. We did the happy hour and ordered an insane amount of food (prices and portion sizes were really good). Our server, Dani, was attentive and very knowledgeable about the menu and drinks. Dani nailed our drinks. She recommended the Apulia Breeze, it was perfectly balanced and was a very refreshing drink to complement all the fried happy hour items we ordered! She also makes a mean old-fashioned. We ordered: Calamari, 2x sweet n spicy chicken tenders, potatoes soffocato, spicy chicken parm sliders, and the goat cheese artichoke. Bread and oil for the table. Everything was SOOO delicious. The calamari and bread was a crowdpleaser. The calamari was perfectly seasoned, fresh, and had a nice crunch. We fawned over the bread and oil, not a single crumb of it was left after the meal. I really enjoyed the chicken tenders and goat cheese artichoke. My friend said she could eat a whole other plate of the spicy chicken parm sliders. The potatoes soffocato (potato wedges) were huge. Don't let the liquid Gorgonzola sauce for it scare you off, it gave the wedges a good bite and flavor without being overly funky. Overall, would 100% come back to Antonio's and request for Dani to be my server. She kept my drink filled and even ran my friend's credit card down to us in the marketplace when Dani realized she had left it on the table. For under $30 a person, we practically rolled ourselves downstairs to the marketplace and ordered dessert to go (Oreo cheesecake, tiramisu, and cannoli), then we finished off the night walking off the food around Lake Lily. Girls' night, date night, friends outing, family meal...Antonio's can handle it all. And ask for Dani if you want amazing service!

My friends and I came for happy hour and had a great experience! Every dish we ordered was absolutely delicious, and the happy hour menu offered fantastic value. Our server, Dani, was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, offered great recommendations, and was very attentive. We'll definitely be coming back!

Antonio's is always an excellent recommendation. I stopped by here for lunch with some friends from out of town. We ate int he upstairs restaurant and it was relatively uncrowned on a weekday. I ordered the Papardell Bolognese and it was out seating. Slightly creamy and slightly meaty ribbon pasta in sauce. Excellent. The services was prompt and friendly. It probably would have been helpful when we were seated if the staff reminded us that it closed the kitchen at a certain time in the afternoon, as we were there just before it, but ultimately t it did not impact our meal

Hubby and I have been wanting to try this restaurant for awhile now. We finally made it here, and I'm so happy we did. This Italian Restorante has fine dining upstairs and a fabulous restaurant downstairs. The downstairs restaurant isn't just pizza, OH NO! They have sit down dining and besides pizza, they offer an array of delectable dishes. They have wines galore! They have a Deli! The ambiance of the downstairs restaurant is so very charming. When I first walked in the door, the wonderful aroma of food was amazing. You just wanted to take pause, and inhale the aroma. Now, for Antonio's Restorante fine dining upstairs, where we dined. The Ambiance is so charming and you automatically feel so comfortable. Very Italian, but at the same time, cozy, warm and relaxing. They have a beautiful bar area with a lounge. Wow, the bar stools are well padded, seat and back with real soft material ( not vinyl). They have an elevator to transport you to the upstairs restaurant instead of taking the stairs. Everyone we came in contact with was charming, kind and very welcoming. You will see on my pictures that they have a covered outside dining area that is very pleasant, and over looks a lake. Now, for the best part of my review is the food! First of all, I want to commend the Chef, the Sous Chef and all others who were involved with preparing and presenting us with a meal to always remember! Thank you so much! My husband had one of the Chefs specials, "Carne", which is a wood grilled 16 oz Black Angus Ribeye with Caramelized Gorgonzola, roasted mushroom veal glacé and whipped potatoes. Oh my goodness, he let me taste his and my taste buds were doing a major happy dance! I ordered the Braised Lamb Shank with sweet pea Parmesan Risotto. I thought I died and went to fabulous food heaven LOL! The presentation of this food was a site to behold! For dessert, among others, they offered a seasonal Apple Spice Tiramisu that was very light and luscious to say the least. My husband and I have decided to put this fabulous restaurant at the top of our list. Oh, I must mention that the Chef offers delicious specials daily, unlike many restaurants where they serve the same food day in and day out. Fleming's Steakhouse was our top favorite, but now they're in second place! If you enjoy Italian and fine dining, please give Antonio's a try, I guarantee you will return again and again. You will see a picture that I took of our Tiramisu that had a lit candle on it. They did this for us because it was our first time dining here. How welcoming is that?! My husband and I really enjoyed our evening and experience here; everyone made it so special. Kudos to our server, Danielle, who was so sweet, kind and attentive; an absolute pleasure!

Italian restaurant which is an institution in the Maitland area. It's has been quite a few years since my last visit. We sat at the bar for happy hour. Good selection of cocktails and wines. I ordered my fav expresso martini..it was really good. For dinner, I got the chicken picatta..it was good but not the best. The capers had to many steams and dish lacked lemon. We also ordered the chicken florentine..again ok but not memorable. Dessert was great. Overall it was a good evening but I felt I was in a very old restaurant.

Antipasto Platter

What an exceptional dinning experience! So I'm in town celebrating my nephew College graduation. We celebrated it at this Italian restaurant. Let me tell you server & food on point!! Yes we had a prefix menu & everything I ordered absolutely delicious!! I went crazy with their own brand "olive oil" that I just had to get! Which is sold downstairs from the place which is a cafe. Ok seriously will come back & eat there!!!

Chicken piccata
Michael R.

I was craving chicken piccata and I decided to treat myself for my birthday. I have had it here before and knew it was excellent and tonight did not disappoint. Tender chicken expertly flavored and plenty of capers. I had mine with angel hair pasta which is exactly what I was craving. The lemon butter sauce was so good I used it for my bread instead of the seasoned oil they served for dipping, though that was delicious too. The waitstaff was attentive but not intrusive which I love. It was the perfect birthday meal

It had been on my list to try and stopped by at the cafe to get some lunch. The staff is attentive and happy to make suggestions. I was seated and it took a bit of time to get my server to come and to later take my order. Then it took a very long time to get my food and not sure why. I ordered a caesar salad with chicken (which it should had been easier than an entreeto make) and it was good. Fresh, made to order, good dressing and the chicken flavorful. They have a good selection and you can browse the market after you finish your meal.

Chef Special Pasta
Corrina Q.

The famed upstairs Italian restaurant. I've always driven by it... always wondered what magic Italian cuisine it beheld... and I FINALLY got the chance to experience this place on one impromptu Monday date night. It was surprisingly not as busy as I thought it would be... but as is Monday night at any restaurant. The staff explained to us that the weekends are usually SLAMMED and this was usual for a Monday night. Speaking of the staff, they are incredibly kind and gave some great recommendations for our entrees. We were almost SOLD on getting some steaks as an entree since they cook them in a pretty unique way, but we came to an Italian restaurant and definitely wanted pasta. We started off with an appetizer of stuffed mushrooms. I personally wasn't too impressed with this. The tomato sauce used in it vaguely reminded me of Ragu. The stuffing in the mushroom was great though! What really blew us away though were the pasta entrees we had. I could drink the sauce that came with the lobster ravioli!! The chef special pasta was fantastic! We also ordered desserts to-go (not pictures) since we were full after our meal. The tiramisu was TO DIE FOR. We will definitely be coming back :)

Veal Piccata
Vanessa S.

Food was very good at Antonio's and they served huge portions. We went here for an event and the service was top not h. We got calamari for appetizer and it was so good, the seasoning was perfect and so crispy. For the main course, I enjoyed the veal mozzarella with pasta marinara. The veal was nice and tender. The dessert was also my favorite which was the tiramisu. It was so good. The ambiance is nice and quiet. They have a pizza and wine bar on the first floor and the restaurant was at the second floor. The reason why I gave it a four star was because the server missed some of our orders and requests. But other than that, I will come back and try another option in their menu.

Dessert!

Best Italian place in the Orlando surrounding area ! Service was amazing! We had a party of 10 and they accommodated us quickly with waters and yummy garlic knots. I started with a Caesar salad and glass of Cabernet. My entree was to die for...eggplant parmigiana which was layered like lasagna. The ambiance was quaint and a market-like atmosphere. I will be back as soon as we can!

See all

You order at the register and receive a number to bring back to your table, where a runner will bring by focaccia, olive oil, and an herb blend. Our food came out within 10 minutes and was absolutely delightful! Even with my no-goat-cheese modification, my chicken menichino was so tasty and perfectly seasoned. I also tried a glass of their Gavi di Gavi, which was such an excellent complement to my meal. My partner tried the daily special, a beef brass to, and was blown away by the tenderness of the beef and the large portion size. We were too full to get a dessert to share in-house, but we stopped by the dessert counter and received amazing to-go recommendations, which is how we ended up with tiramisu, a lemon ricotta cookie, a snicker doodle, an espresso cookie, and a slice of cake. (We'll be back to try the gelato!) And, on my out, I spotted a family-friendly detail I didn't expect - a changing table in the restroom stocked with diapers of all sizes and wipes! What a wonderful touch. Overall, I enthusiastically recommend this restaurant. Everyone we spoke to was kind and incredibly efficient at their jobs, providing quick, welcoming service and great food recs. The food was delicious and well-portioned.

My girlfriend said that the steak was cooked perfectly medium as they asked. The steak sauce paired really well, and they had enough for leftovers, and enjoyed it even more the day after. The Mac & cheese was alright, we just wish there had been more of a crunch to the cheese. However, we both really liked the shape of the pasta as we don't really see those as often.

I basically got 3 meals out of my ribeye and lobster mac. The calamari was crispy and tender. The bread was so fluffy and delicious.
