    Entryway downstairs

    I've been a long time customer at Antonio's downstairs and last night we took a leap and tried upstairs and it DELIVERED. The food was to die for, and the service was prompt and attentive. I personally had the short rib which was out of this world in flavor. My companion had the lobster ravioli and was using the bread to scrape the bowl at the end. 10/10 we cannot wait to go back. We were a couple of friends grabbing dinner, but I would love to return with my husband for a date night! The vibe is traditional New York Italian, think white table cloth service and deep toned woods.

    Disappointed This is not my first time at Antonio's I went with my wife on Sept 5, the server was very nice and courteous but when the serving Started it showed a lack of experience we had to ask to bring the bread to the table, the bread came in but not the butter or olive oil so we have to ask for it, I ordered wine but had to ask for it again the chicken Marsala was not trim and had fat and cartilage attached to i ordered filet Mignon I asked the server what were the sides. He said mashed potatoes but it came with wedge potatoes, when it was time for desert we ordered creme brûlée and that was good. Ordered espresso coffee and the sugar was missing it took a long time to bring the sugar and by that time the coffee was cold so they had to fetch another cup of coffee, the whole serving event was uncoordinated. Expected more from Antonio's, I noticed that all the servers were very young please bring the old guys or train the new ones to the old standards.

    Food and atmosphere were lovely when my friend and I stopped in for a quick bite before a show that was playing nearby. We ordered from the happy hour menu and enjoyed our crab cake, burrata, and steak tips! Bartender was pleasant but food did take a little long after ordering.

    Really busy for a Thursday night however service was impeccable. Pretty loud but usually it's not. Most visits are pretty quiet and intimate. New owners and the food is still just as good. Bread a little hard but everything else very delish!

    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!

    Lobster Ravioli

    I typically try to keep my reviews positive, but with over a decade of experience in hospitality, I believe honest feedback is just as important. I recently attended a birthday dinner at Antonio's with a group of around 10 guests. This was my first time dining here. I arrived shortly after the rest of the party, who had already placed their drink and entrée orders. Prior to my arrival, my wife mentioned that the staff seemed somewhat irritated with our group. I didn't think much of it initially, but after arriving, I began to notice the same tone. After getting settled, I waited a few minutes to place my order. When our server entered the private dining area to clear plates, I attempted to get his attention. As he was about to leave, I was finally able to speak with him and asked to order a cocktail and entrée. He responded that my wife had already ordered for me, which was unexpected, as I had planned to order for myself. When I clarified and requested the pappardelle bolognese instead, his response felt dismissive and noticeably unprofessional. That said, the food was excellent across the board. The lobster ravioli was outstanding, the bolognese was very well prepared, and the appetizer was a highlight for the table. Unfortunately, the service continued to feel rushed and somewhat strained as the evening went on. There were multiple reminders about closing out the check and preparing the room for the next party, which made the experience feel less welcoming than expected. Antonio's clearly delivers when it comes to food quality, but the service fell short of the standard the cuisine reflects. I would consider returning, though the overall experience would make me hesitant.

    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

    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!

    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.

    This is my second time here. I did get this meal last week and there was a $10 difference which was a little shocker. Prices went way up. Menu also changed. $38.00 for this.

    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!!!

A while back, when my teenagers were craving fast-food pizza, I insisted on taking them somewhere truly exceptional instead. Skeptical as any teenagers would be, they came along, and ended up absolutely loving it! Fast forward to my wife's birthday: when I asked the kids where they wanted to go celebrate, they answered at the same time, "Francesco's!" My wife and I had a great laugh and immediately agreed. It was actually her very first time dining here. From the moment we sat down, our server, Kevin, provided exceptional service. We started with the Gamberoni Siciliana; the shrimp was cooked to perfection and the sauce was rich and delicious. For main course, obviously, the kids ordered pizzas: a Carne Pazza and a classic Margherita. The crust at Francesco's is unbeatable; perfectly crunchy with that distinct, rich taste we all love. My wife ordered the Pollo Cacciatore, which was sophisticated and vibrant; you could instantly tell how fresh the ingredients were, right down to the olives, which were hands-down the freshest I've ever tasted. I had the Vitello Parmigiana, and the marinara sauce tasted genuinely like "la ricetta della nonna", you can feel the care and love in every bite. For dessert, I quietly asked Kevin to bring out the Profiteroles with a candle. The staff blew us away by presenting the dessert beautifully decorated with cream like a nice cake, bringing it to the table while singing "Tanti auguri a te." It was a wonderful, memorable evening for my wife and our whole family. Thank you to Kevin and the entire team at Francesco's for putting so much heart into what you do!

They take reservations, but when I called I was told that they don't take them past three p.m. because they get incredibly busy. Judging by the quality of the food, that's not hard to believe. There's a series of appetizers available. We tried mussels and their fried calamari, and both were delicious. The portions are generous, so you can bring a large party and order a few to share. We were a party of six and we did fine with the two appetizers. There's also some bread that's complementary and comes with a delicious spread on the side! This alone is a great reason to visit here. Our mains also came with either a soup or salad. I had the Caesar salad, and it was great! Nice croutons with a light dressing and some shredded cheese. I ordered their carbonara for my mains. You can pick from a variety of pastas, such as spaghetti and linguine. I chose spaghetti, as I felt it would better absorb the sauce. The sauce was a nice creamy sauce served with prosciutto and had that classic carbonara flavor. Totally delicious! For drinks, they have many options, such as coffee and soda, as well as a wine selection. Great options for drinks in this place. The service is also great. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable and checked on us regularly. Overall, it's a fantastic restaurant. Great food and great service. You may want to plan ahead if you're going later in the day, as it looks like they don't take reservations past 3 p.m. as I understand it. If you must wait, though, I'd say it's worth it. I highly recommend this place!!

When we approached the entrance to ask to use the restroom while we waited, the hostess slammed the iron sliding doors in my husbands face.... Yet we waited. Should've left.

Once we sat down and ordered: we asked for the meatballs which they said are still frozen and would take a long time. We ordered bread service and burratta. Burrata was good. We ordered a specialty pizza with sausage and mushrooms. I can't remember the name and it was small. Almost personal sized. That's fine but the waitress could have given us a heads up. We saw another walk in order a pizza that was much larger so when I asked her if the specialty pizzas were of a different size she simply said they're all the same size. Which was obviously not true.

Additionally, while waiting my friend decided to grab a beer and thought that the beverages were self service since the fridge was readily accessible in the middle of restaurant. The server rushed over to explain that drinks needed to be ordered. Just a strange setup to be honest. As for the pizza itself? The flavors were really nice and I liked the combos on the specialty menu. The dirt nap was probably my favorite though I would order one of the NY style crusts if I returned. I am not in a rush to return though I would if in the area. I do love the Maitland social hall for the casual ambiance and outdoor space. However, I can't get past that forty minute wait time and without apology or acknowledgment from the staff. Every other pie joint can typically churn them out in under fifteen minutes max.

For entrees we ordered the pumpkin ravioli (love a good seasonal dish and the 3 cheese sauce was perfect), tagliatelle with mushroom (personally I don't like mushrooms but the others love this dish the most), pappardelle tomato basil (the ricotta brings a very nice touch to a basic dish), and the pappardelle inferno (the server warned us it's hot and our group likes hot but it was much hotter than expected, not sure I would be able to finish the whole dish by myself).

Entrees were a bit better with the pumpkin ravioli and the parpadelle tomato basil but it was disappointing to see that there weren't any entrees with animal protein in them -- I think it's reasonable to ask for at least one on a magical dining menu. Lastly, the dessert. While the tiramisu and the cannoli tasted fine, we were served 1 cannoli and 1 small tiramisu in a small (but very cute and creative) plant vase. I don't plan to return. My suggestion is to skip Luca and go to its sister restaurant in College Park.

    We went for the first time last night since the new owners took over in May. Some noticeable…read morechanges are their hours--now closed on Sundays. Opened for dinner only Monday and Tuesday from 5:00-9:00. Offering lunch Wednesday through Friday from 11:00-3:00. Inside they have removed several of the market dry goods shelving for additional seating. It has a fresher look, however, the air-conditioning couldn't keep up with the hot August temps. We were miserable the entire meal. The menu is much smaller and the food we have always loved was different. We had the lasagna and the baked penne. Usually two of our favorites. Not sure if they've hired a new chef, but the changes are not as we had hoped. They had no lack of business, which is good. Hoping they make needed adjustments because Antonio's has been a favorite of our for years!

Loved seeing all the items the offer in the market (which was quite expansive). I was astonished to see fresh vegetables and ground beef along with Italian cold cuts and salads to-go. Never mind the huge array of sauces, pickled items, and desserts. I can't believe I haven't been by before. Antonio's is truly a hidden Italian gem in the area. I've been going to D'amico's in Oviedo but Antonio's is an amazing (more) in the city market. My friends and I rolled our full bellies down to the bakery from the upstairs restaurant and got a cannoli, Oreo cheesecake, and tiramisu to-go! Can't wait to check out the cafe downstairs next time.

    Cute little Italian restaurant that had a very authentic feel to it and great service. It reminded…read moreme of some of the places I went to in Italy last year. It was nestled right in the downtown of Winer Garden. This felt like such a special place for a date night! The food was delicious! We started off with the bruschetta tomato and it was spot on. I love a classic bruschetta and it's hard to find one without cheese in the US (there were other options with cheese if that's your thing). I was so excited to order it and it did not disappoint. For our main entrees my husband ordered the pasta carbonara and I ordered my favorite pasta bolognese. WOW this is the best pasta bolognese I've found so far in the United States. The flavors brought me back to Tuscany and the pasta made in house was perfect! My husband enjoyed his dish but he is not as big of a fan of the large pieces of pancetta, but that is more of his own personal preference. We ended our meal with decaf espressos and dessert. My husband had the cannoli and I had the tiramisu. It was the best way to end our meal and we enjoyed every last bite. We are excited to come back and try some of the other dishes, the pizzas looked so yummy! Highlight: We had a table right in front of where they make their pasta. It was so cool to see it being made. My husband and I were mesmerized by the process.

    One of my favorite Italian restaurants in Winter Park! Every time I come here, I usually get either…read morethe pesto with chicken or the prosciutto-wrapped arugula salad, and I'm telling you, that salad is LIFE CHANGING. I've also been here so many times before going to a movie next door, and the service is always amazing. The staff is super friendly and attentive every time I come in, which makes it an easy go-to spot for me. Their Happy Hour is also such a good deal, and I always try to come on Thursdays for their half-off wine bottles. This time I got a Limoncello Spritz and it was sooo good and refreshing! Honestly, between the food and the drinks, I always leave happy. The restaurant itself is also really nice. It's a pretty large space, but the tables are spread out enough that you don't feel cramped or like you're sitting on top of another table. It's clean, the atmosphere is nice, and most importantly, the music isn't blasting so you can actually have a conversation with your friends. Definitely recommend if you're in Winter Park and want Italian, especially if you can catch their Happy Hour!

A variety of guests in the bar area; post-work gatherings, date night couples, and the dolled OF types with inflated lips. I remained a quiet solo observer. The bar team is always the best, with Whitney and Day at the helm. I am trying to minimize my liquor intake, so I went for the Happy Hour Pinot Grigio, along w the protein forward Meatballs and Scampi. The Scampi sauce is the best w the bread. One of my fave stops when in WP.

    I have either been here or had food from here a couple of times, but it has been a while. Since…read morethose times I have explored the area quite a bit and coming back, I must say this place easily falls into the top three pizza places for me. When you get to the top three there is no longer even a "best" discussion anymore; it really comes down to the style you are in the mood for. Service, for a pizza place, is beyond amazing. The place itself also has a "market" but it doesn't distract from making you feel like you are still in a quiet restaurant - as much as a pizza place will ever be. True, I had the BITE30 menu on this most recent visit. The Italian Meatballs - 100% Beef hand rolled meatballs served in our from-scratch marinara and topped with house croutons and grated cheese to start were amazing. The Stella - black truffle ricotta, mozzarella. Served with tomato, arugula, and a ariston balsamic dressing, topped with a burrata ball, well, what can I say. Generally, I'm not a fan of these star pizza creations but they do it right enough here where I would have this one again. Then for dessert, which I usually never have, was the Chocolate Mousse - Rich and airy chocolate topped with whipped cream and chocolate chips. Yeah, for my own good, I need to stay anyway from that one!

I know this place has quite the following and I hope y'all continue to support your fave business. This just totally missed the mark for me. When I met Paul the pizza connoisseur (he chuckled when I bequeathed this name to him) I again inquired about bite 30. He told me he was short staffed. I understand that completely. However, when I asked if I could order an appetizer, pizza, & dessert he said that was totally doable but to order off the regular menu. That's the same as what bite 30 offers but at a higher price point. Didn't seem right to me. There were 3 other tables while we were there. You order at a kiosk & it's not a full service situation so being understaffed as a reason seemed odd. I was watching them sling out pizzas, pastas, etc with zero problems. I hoped to try the Stella & margarita pizzas but it looks like I'll be living vicariously through everyone else's pics. During lunch ambience is quiet. Especially during the week. I wish them all the best & I'm happy they have regular patrons.
