Antoni's delivers exactly what a good Italian restaurant should with quality food, proper portions, and strong attention to detail. The dining room is small and intimate. We were seated at a table for two and started with fresh bread and butter. I had an Old Fashioned and my wife ordered a glass of Pocketbook wine. Both were excellent. For an appetizer we ordered the stuffed mushrooms and they were outstanding. Easily one of the highlights of the meal. They were so good that the staff brought us additional bread to enjoy with the white cheese sauce, which was a great touch. For our entrées my wife had the shrimp and pesto lasagna. It was well prepared and flavorful. I ordered the special, ossobuco, and it was very good. Tender, rich, and cooked exactly the way it should be. What really stood out was the service. Both the chef and the manager stopped by our table to check on us and make sure everything was satisfactory. That level of attention does not go unnoticed. We were full by the end but still ordered tiramisu to go and were glad we did. Bottom line, small space, big flavors, and service that shows pride in the food. Antoni's earns a full five stars and we will absolutely be back. read more

The food is excellent! Service amazing! The atmosphere is pleasant. Wish I had taken a picture of my food... presentation is perfect!

Top notch service from walking in to walking out. Immediately greeted and seated which was a full house around 7pm. Everything we got was nicely portioned and flavorful. The cleanliness of the restaurant also helps keep them busy because, who wants to eat at a dirty one? Definitely would come back if i'm near. read more

My husband and I enjoyed dinner here for our Friday date night. It has been many years since the last time we ate here, and the food was just as fresh and delicious as it was back then! We plan to return soon! We started off with the bruschetta appetizer, which had fresh tomatoes, just the right amount of garlic, and a topping of basil. Absolutely delicious! I also ordered the Crepe Myrtle, which was refreshing (highly recommend!), and my husband had a glass of Pinot Grigio and a Caesar salad. For our entrees, my husband enjoyed the Chicken Parmesan, which was a generous serving. I ordered the veal scaloppine with the mushroom Marsala sauce. I added on a side dish of capellini and I was offered extra sauce for it (so delicious!). It was served with sautéed vegetables, which were flavorful and cooked well. We finished up dinner with a Honeybee Prosecco and my husband requested a Paloma, which isn't on their drink menu, but our waiter was able to have it made (and it turned out great). Everything was delectable, the ambiance was on par for date night, and the staff was helpful and attentive. We plan to come back soon to try out more dishes and drinks. read more

Had the most amazing meal last night and can not wait to return. Amazing!!! Definitely get the stuffed mushrooms and hummus supreme.

Great Italian restaurant with great menu, ambience, and service. Chelsea did a fantastic job helping us to navigate the menu and also accommodating various food allergies. The white bean hummus supreme was very tasty and great for dipping. The pasta with Romano cream sauce was outstanding as well as the pizza. Highly recommended! And for desserts, we walked across the parking lot to Lolli's for chocolates. read more

Always good! I love the Eggplant Parmesan! The servers and staff here are always so professional.

Food is excellent. Service not so much. First time the time it took to eat lunch was painful. I think they lost my order. Second time waitress was unfriendly and we had to stop her and ask for everything. They bring bread after you order, well I had to stop her and ask for it. Right after it came so did the food. So good food with pitiful service. Or and they ran my credit card on wrong bill. They credited it back but geez. read more

Excellent food and amazing customer service from our bartender Shannon! He made our time in Lafayette as he recommended Don's seafood, his brother bartenders there. Another great place! read more

Excellent service and excellent food. Very authentic Italian cuisine in the heart of Acadiana.

I'm going to keep this short and sweet but I did not expect to find one of the best Italian restaurants ever to be hidden away in Lafayette, Louisiana. Antoni's has the best Chicken Parmesan I have ever had, best part is that they don't make the common mistake that many others make by not putting enough sauce on the pasta that comes with the Chicken Parmesan, also I believe they make the sauce themselves. Their cheese bread with the garlic and marinara sauce is amazing. The bread with the butter spread they give you is great as well. I highly recommend Antoni's you will not be disappointed. I wish they had a location here in Houston, TX. read more

I loved this place. The food was great, the server was excellent, and the atmosphere was on point. I'll definitely be going back.

I ate their Guido Americanized Italian style of food. It's over priced. Their Italy is a lot different food wise than the one I grew up in. It's a shame. read more

I only travel to Lafayette once a month for work and always try to make it here at least once. The service is excellent and the food never disappoints. read more

Antoni's is true and authentic Italian gem in the Oil Center with fantastic service. The food was among some of the best Italian we have had, worldwide! The shrimp pesto lasagna was memorable and decadent but not so rich that it was over the top. The pizza was a big winner with fresh and flavorful toppings and a crisp, light crust. I have never had a meal where that was less than memorable. read more

We went to another establishment first but didn't have a reservation so we found Antoni's and went there. Shannon was a wonderful host and it was by far one of the best places I've ever been. We sat in the tiny cozy bar within 15 minutes and had great drinks, the best cheese bread, and the very best shrimp, pesto, and spinach lasagna's I've ever had. read more

Straight to the point. Despite being Valentine's Day I was able to get a to-go order from this place. After I completed my workout at the Rec center in the area. I ordered the Leonardo Calzone (Spinach, artichokes, and Feta), meatball and pasta (Served in a red meat sauce over linguine with aged Romano cheese) and the Focaccia Bread Pudding (Focaccia bread chunks baked with vanilla, cinnamon, and cream. Topped with a Frangelico and Nocello sauce). Leonardo Calzone was huge and flavorful could definitely be a meal for two. The meatball and pasta was pretty pretty good. Sauce could have had a little more flavor but overall it was fine. But I have to admit the star of this particular meal was most the bread pudding. If it came down to having to order just one item from this particular place it would be the focaccia bread pudding. I honestly haven't had bread pudding this good since the one eating some at a Creole restaurant in New Orleans. read more

Friday night early dining at 530p and they were already on a wait. And deservedly so. Service was excellent entrees were served quick and piping hot. Veal Parmesan, wedge salad, tried both soups and they were great. Very reasonably priced. A Lafayette must read more

Great food and amazing service. We came in during the evening without a reservation but were seated promptly.

We ordered take out from here over the phone. The young lady who helped me was super friendly and helpful with my questions about the menu. We ordered the meatballs and the mushrooms as an appetizer. Both were delicious! I like the pizza crust as well but we've only tried one so I can't make comparisons or recommendations on the other varieties. Overall a solid place for Italian staples. read more

Went for our first time, and our waiter was very informative. His excitement about the veal Parmesan got me excited, and it did not disappoint! Will be back! We had the meatball appetizer, bolognese, veal parm, Caesar salad, and lemon tart. Our drinks were really good as well read more

Much too busy, bad seat placement. Not impressed with what we expected compared to how our experience actually was.

6 stars if I could rate higher, we were traveling back home to Houston from visiting family in Tennessee and found this gem of a restaurant. We can't say enough good things about Shannon & Nancy! The food was fantastic & the service was the best. The atmosphere is perfect for a relaxing meal and the pizza & the meatballs were spectacular. We will always stop here on our way through traveling. Thank you for making our dinner special. It was a breath of fresh air seeing the entire staff happy & smiling. We would like to thank the chef as well! read more

The scene- from the outside, it perfectly resembles the classic "Italian bistro" anyone can imagine. It's quite charming and the lighting is well done. Inside, it's white tablecloth... but don't let that scare you. We were informed that the idea is to align the experience to the customers, not to confirm the customers to the standard (white tablecloth traditionally equals fancy). They were, in fact, right. I wouldn't show up in basketball shorts and a t shirt, but by no means do you have to dress up. The experience is for you. 10/10 The service- first class. Our server, Brian, was absolutely amazing. Warm, inviting, funny, and very service forward. We noticed the other servers reacting the same way to their tables, and the hostess was hustling around as well. Even the owner was around, lending a hand and checking in on tables. Together they all operated as a well practiced team, which made everything that much special. 10/10 The food- easily the best Italian dining in Lafayette, and would compete with some of the stuff up north. I ordered simple, as a test. Eggplant parm, if you can't get that right, nothing else is worth trying. No need, it blew us away. The eggplant was cooked perfectly, the Pecorino Romano cream was indulgently rich, and the marinara paired perfectly to help cut through that richness. The icing on the cake was that the portion was more than generous, and I expect quite a bit. The free focaccia appetizer is very thoughtful. It's all too easy for an Italian joint to throw out some toasted baguette with butter, but this was a step above. Served with an olive tapenade butter, it's a great start to the meal. 10/10 One thing that's worth noting: the pricing is WAY under what you would expect from this level of dining. They could easily charge $25 or more for the eggplant parm dish, but it was priced at $18. Basically, the experience is 5 star dining, but the bill comes out to what I would spend at a Chilis, for a lack of better explanation. We will most definitely be back. read more
