There were five waitstaff serving four occupied tables, in a good size room; that was my first clue…read morethat this may not be a great dining experience. Our waitress was cheerful as she extolled the history and reputation of this "authentic" Italian eatery. Menu was standard Italian fare, moderately priced, with lunch specials. After ordering, I waited for bread or breadsticks to appear; they never did. Lunch arrived, but no one offered fresh, or even old, Parmesan cheese. Again no bread. Servings were huge, the only positive thing I could say about the meal. Alfredo sauce on the pasta was totally tasteless, like wallpaper paste. Stromboli shell was not crispy, as it should be, and there was no sauce inside (not unusual), but there was excessive moisture from the vegetable filling, which made the crust soggy. Other than the staff, there was nothing appealing or memorable about this restaurant, and based upon my extensive experience and knowledge of Italian cuisine, there is little authentic about it.

We had a bit of a rocky start at Antonio's with a delay getting seated, but what really stood out…read morewas how the team turned the entire experience around. Jack, the manager, went above and beyond to make things right. He was attentive, genuine, and clearly cared about making sure we felt valued as customers. His effort didn't go unnoticed and completely shifted the tone of our evening. Our banquet hall waitress (I wish I remembered her name!) was equally impressive, she was kind, attentive, and stayed on top of everything throughout the meal. You could tell she truly cared about giving us a great experience. On top of the great service, the food was amazing, everything we had was delicious and well worth the visit. What started off frustrating ended up being a really enjoyable night thanks to their outstanding service and commitment to making things right. That level of care goes a long way, and it's the reason we'll definitely be back.

There is a bar area too which was full of folks too. There were two servers for the entire restaurant and they were hustling!! I don't think they ever stopped going from table to table and the back of the house to pick up food. Speaking of food..... it was delicious!! Since it was late (for us), we didn't want a "heavy" meal. These two appetizers (bread & oil, lemon herb shrimp) and the Caprese salad were just right for us to share. I think if we're there a tad earlier, we might have tried their pasta. There was one lady I noticed who was thoroughly enjoying her meal because she kept doing the "happy" dance. If we ever pass through Goshen IN again, we will definitely stop here.

It was unclear what they meant but she seemed unwilling to put us on the list when we called at about 5:00. So, we decided to take our chances and stopped by about 6:15 and immediately got seated.....probably helped it was just the 2 of us as they were very busy. Our server, Zoe was very good, well versed on the menu and was attentive but not overly so....excellent at her job. The highlight however (for me) was watching the entire hard working staff work together. It was like a finely orchestrated ballet. Mostly young people who worked extremely hard and never seemed to miss a beat! The owner or manager stopped by to check on us (seems rare these days) and was very friendly. The food was good, not out of this world good but very satisfying and we were happy.

Good from far but Far From Good!…read more We had high expectations yet reservations. Good Italian food in SW Michigan? What are the odds? The reviews were mixed but they had been around since 1939 so they must be doing something right. We decided to give it a try on a Saturday night towards the end of summer. As instructed on their website, we called ahead and the hostess said it would be 30 - 45 minutes from when we called at 6:30. We arrived a little before 7:00 to a crowded parking lot (valet only) and people waiting. It looked like what you would expect from an old school Italian restaurant - lots of lions and other statues, a cool outdoor dining area with a screened in area, a wood burning pizza oven, a lively bar and multiple rooms for dining. So far so good. We get to the hostess and she says that they recently got busy (hard to believe) and that it would be 30 or so minutes or 7:30 ish until our table. We grab a drink, listen to the entertainment in the bar and people watch. Around 7:30 we check in and are told it would be a few minutes. We should have left at that point. A few minutes turned into another 30 minutes and we finally sat down at 8:00. Ordered promptly with a frazzled waitress - gluten free pizza (they have a pizza oven in the middle of the room where we were dining), a chicken dish and gluten free pasta. Everything came with soup or salad as well - our waitress said that the minestrone tastes good with cheese and pepper (it was more like a pasta e fagioli in consistency). The pizza comes out and it was clearly undercooked and as we couldn't find out waitress and were hungry, we choked down a few of the pieces (and tasted the undercooked pizza it well into the night). The soup arrived and as accurately described was tasteless and more like porridge but the cheese and pepper helped. Main dishes - chicken that gave airline chicken a run for it's money, with some pasta in an Alfredo or some kind of white sauce and a half an ear of corn (the best thing on the plate). The GF pasta was way overcooked at it was evident after one bite. When I mentioned it to the waitress, she said that we would take it off the bill and asked if I wanted something else. As it was 9:30 and we had a 2 hour ride in front of us, I just said to take if off the bill and to get us our check. The check comes and only 25% of the cost of the pasta is taken off the bill (how does 2 bites of inedible pasta equal 25% off and not 100% off?). I ask the waitress and she said that she spoke to the owner and she said to only take 25% off of the bill. By this point, my wife has called and texted twice as the valet has the car and people are waiting for their cars. I pay the bill and leave, never to return. On the positive side, at least the guy with the oxygen tank got seated before us. Then again, he was waiting when we got there before 7:00... Moral of the story, leave the Italian food to people that know how to make it and respect their customers and waitstaff.

Suggested the basil lemon chicken for two -claimed they had to bring back on menu by popular demand. Unfortunately, chicken was unpalatable. Waitress asked if we wanted it boxed we said "no we did not care for it." She then commented "some people in the past didn't care for it either. It has a certain flavor." Being a store owner of 12 retail chicago locations, I did not feel it was handled properly. I always appreciates customer calling me direct with an issue. The dessert brownie tasted more like a dried piece of chocolate cake, which we did not eat after 1bite. I called the next day to share with the manager. The hostess from the night before , actually remembered us, said the manager would get back to us, she would relay our experience. Never heard back. It's going to be hard to recommend the restaurant to our Chicago relatives & friends who visit & stay in New Buffalo all year long.
