    Chicken Molli

    From the moment we walked in with the sweet gent who held open the door and greeted us to the other hostess, super friendly staff. Our server, Alexis - very attentive. Alexis offered the best suggestion which we took. We had the lasagna, bursts and the Chicken Molli dish. So good. Finished it off with the caramel pudding dish! Everything was delicious. Thank you Marcello's !

    Our third visit to this restaurant and it's consistently impressive. We had a reservation because it was my birthday. Three different staff told me happy birthday and there was a card on the table as well. The salad was great, the scallops were tasty, the fresh bread was hot and crunchy. Because it was my birthday, dessert was free and delicious. Service was friendly and very efficient. The wine selection is great. My favorite place to celebrate for a good price! We will be back!

    Linguine Tritone

    I came here for a birthday dinner and I just want to start by saying that the house bread may be the best bread I've ever had! It comes with oil/balsamic and it was literally amazing. The service was sooooo slow and there were barely any customers. Our dinner was for 8 and we didn't leave until after 11pm. The drinks were taking 20,30 min to come out. Appetizers took about an hour. The calamari was good but undercooked. The charcuterie board was okay, it was a large but there were more miscellaneous items than cheese/meat/crackers. I ordered the Tritone pasta. It needed seasoning so i added salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes and after that it was delicious! So, overall it's good but prepare to be in there for a while

    Calamari Fritti

    I had a beyond incredible time dining at Marcello's. I came here for date night with my boyfriend, and it was one of the best experiences we've had. Our server was phenomenal and displayed just the perfect amount of attentiveness. We were at a table slightly closed off from the rest of the restaurant, which made for an even more intimate experience. I am a major wine drinker and LOVED seeing the bottles everywhere! You can get up and pick your own bottle from the walls that you want to have with your meal, or order from the "by the glass" part of the menu. What we ate: Calamari Fritti: perfectly fried calamari with a delicious marinara sauce (yum yum) Linguini Tritone: lobster, shrimp, crabmeat, spinach, and mushrooms in sherry cream sauce with linguini (really delicious but too much sauce) Shrimp Pepate: large shrimp sauteed with roasted garlic and crushed red pepper in a light olive oil sauce tossed with linguini and toasted pine nuts (phenomenal!) Chocolate torte: three-layer chocolate cake (too light for my taste but still good) Overall, the food was great, the wine was amazing, and the service was top-notch.

    the anniversary card
    Gerald H.

    Outstanding food and service. We arrived for our Anniversary, sat promptly with a happy anniversary card on our table, ordered 2 mock cocktails recommended by our great waitress, and evening went upwards from there warm crisp bread, which got us through to the appetizer's, and wow it was delicious, the sauce on the mussels over the top, and the calamari was perfect. The entrees, Linguini , and the Pollo was great, but the Risotto I repeat the Risotto was out of this world, the creamy texture matched with the walnuts was a divine experience. For dessert our gracious waitress recommended the Panna Cotta with caramel this ended an amazing meal what great flavor. Definitely top 2 best Anniversary meals.

    Antoni's delivers exactly what a good Italian restaurant should with quality food, proper portions,…read moreand 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.

The quality and flavor of the food here was amazing and the prices were so reasonable! The veal pannata was delicious, great size sized dish. The veal was flatted and fried perfectly! Anything on the menu I don't think you could go wrong with! ALSO this was our first time here and I have to mention the pallet cleanser with the lemon sorbet was just an extra special touch! Also, they do not have a dessert menu, inside they have a dessert tray that they come out and show you!!! SERVICE: we had Casey as our server and she was great! She gave us recommendations as well listed all of the specials for us! We came on a Wednesday evening so it was pretty dead, but excellent service! AMBIANCE: the ambiance is incredible. I truly have nothing bad to say about this restaurant. You walk in and it feels like a luxury restaurant, but you don't break the bank on one dish! Everything was clean, moody, and perfect for a date night or celebration! If anything it was a little chilly so I'd recommend bringing a jacket!

    The place is the perfect date spot with relaxing atmosphere with dimly lit quaint dining area…read more White tablecloths & candlelight! It reminds me of a restaurant back in the 80's or early 90's so could use updating but still a clean nice place. The service was friendly. I ordered the chicken parmesan and it was just ok. The chicken & spaghetti were room temperature so I'm not sure if the chicken is suppose to be served this temperature since I'm not Italian but I wasn't impressed. The sauce was super dark, another thing I'm not sure about but it needed more spices. My friend had the crepes and they were crispy so she really enjoyed them! I might go back to try another dish but not sure as of now.

The waitress was very friendly but two of our things came out wrong. One was the salad dressing, and I didn't want to say anything as the Italian dressing brought out instead was a creamy one and turned out to be very good. The other item was the topping was incorrect for our pasta but the meatballs happened to be wonderful. The problems started after our dinner was brought out. The waitress never returned and we were waiting and waiting. I saw her come out again and waved feverishly to get her attention and we said we need take out containers and the check. We tried to get help from another waiter and he looked the other way and ignored us. Here's where things get tricky. I had ordered the seafood manicotti. I thought that it tasted great. I was the only one that ordered it at our table and was the only one that got sick. I rarely post anything negative on here but I don't enjoy getting sick. So I will not be returning to this restaurant. There are plenty of other options to eat at in Lafayette.
