Likely the best Italian I have had or will ever have. We didn't even know of this place when my father and I came into town. Fortunately, there was an open table for two in the middle of the dining area. Their meatballs brought both of us back to homemade ones the two of us used to make, so instant plus for that, and the bread was also great with the given butter and marinara we had leftover. The true seller for us was the veal pasta we had. I'll crave it for a long time from now, and the pizza was also equally enjoyed. I'd also love to say the restaurant's style for inside and especially the staff folk were amazing. To our waiter Porter and another waiter Lindsey, ya'll were treasures to meet, and I have faith the other staff are equally amazing. Anyone in the area with the time and money should come to this amazing place for a special occasion, it could certainly live up to it. read more

Really enjoyed a last minute decision to eat here. Have not been un many years but was very pleasantly surprised. We had wedge salads, tomato basil soup veal in the lemon sauce and an off menu veal in Romano cheese White sauce my son asked for and loved. Service was excellent and very attentive. Managers were refilling drinks and assisting. Really looks like a team environment focused on customers. Ambience is upscale but early dining we didnt feel uncomfortable in street/work clothing read more

Antonis is always consistent with delicious food. My favorite is the chicken parm. I like that they use both marinara and Alfredo sauce. Service is impeccable and the restaurant is great for a quiet dinner. read more

The food was SOOOO good! 10/10! We got the stuffed mushroom appetizer. Food tastes fresh, atmosphere was cozy. Porter, our waiter, was fantastic. In fact all three wait staff were very cordial. Can't recommend this place enough! read more

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

I ordered a 16 inch pizza with double pepperoni extra cheese to go. This was the first order I've ever made there. I wanted to give them a shot. I also ordered a muffalata. Well when I get there I give the bartender my debit card she rings me up, comes back to me and I look at my bill and it's $63 and I'm like this can't be right $63 for one pizza and a muffaletta. So I asked her to look at it and she says oh yeah that's right it's base price for the pizza $16. That's just for the crust the sauce and layer of cheese extra cheese on it was $8.00 more and for double pepperoni it was $16.00 more. I said this is absolutely ridiculous. $40 for a pizza and I'm gonna tell you it was thin as a cracker. I don't think it had extra cheese on it. It did have lots of pepperoni but not $16 worth. So I did proceed to tell her that this was the first time I ever ordered from there and it would definitely be the last, she told me well yeah you can definitely get a better Pizza a lot cheaper elsewhere. So on my way out, I asked to see the manager. He comes over and he looks at my receipt. Well, yeah our prices went up recently. I said you know this is ridiculous $40 for this pizza. That is absolutely nothing spectacular. It was good. It wasn't bad. It was good but it wasn't $40 worth of Good so I did tell him the same thing. I said this was our first try here and it will be our last and I will be definitely giving bad reviews. So they replied with their mumbo-jumbo about cost and all that yeah every restaurant has cost and believe me your pizza is nothing spectacular so if you're ingredients or all this fancy stuff, maybe you need not do it to cut cost a little bit. $40 for one pizza I don't care how you spin. It is ridiculously priced and I'm sure you have people that will pay that because they can afford it but not everyone can and that's unfortunate. 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

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

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

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

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

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 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
