Also parking is street parking, but lucked out with someone leaving - phew. We split the Caesar salad, because the portion is well enough for two, and dressing was so good! For my entree I ordered the King Mushroom Pappardelle. It may have been the best pasta dish I've ever had. If you like mushrooms you'll love that dish. The ambiance isn't a very rushed experience, which works out to digest all of those delicious carbs. Overall, a really great Italian spot- definitely will go back to try the truffle ravioli.

This was the first time I was seated in the Turci Panino location, attached to Turci Pasta. You get to enjoy the same menu but the ambiance isn't quite the same.

I typically try to keep my reviews positive, but with over a decade of experience in hospitality, I…read morebelieve 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.

How did we get served warm water on one of the hottest days of the season so far? We had a reservation and waited 20 minutes to get seated. Took forever to bring us a high chair for our baby.

I wish I knew his name, but I loved his service. The wine and the espresso martini were really good. My girlfriend, especially like the espresso martini and its blend of liquor with the tartness. In terms of the food, it was all really wonderful. The chicken and dumplings came with this delicious sauce that I couldn't get enough off. The potato dumplings were alright, but the seasoning and mix of the sauce was perfect for the chicken. The serving size was good as well and there was barely any bone to interrupt eating it. My girlfriend said that the steak was cooked perfectly medium as they asked. The steak sauce paired really well, and they had enough for leftovers, and enjoyed it even more the day after. The Mac & cheese was alright, we just wish there had been more of a crunch to the cheese. However, we both really liked the shape of the pasta as we don't really see those as often. Also not depicted here, but we got the cocktail shrimp. My girlfriend loved this one too, specifically noting how large and cold the shrimps were. The cocktail sauce was delicious and had a nice kick to it, and definitely squeeze the lemon that comes with it on the shrimp. Since it was an anniversary, they surprised us with complimentary dessert that was phenomenal. My girlfriend doesn't really like cheesecake or coconut, but somehow loved the dessert. It's an off menu item but it blends coconut, cheesecake, and a brownie.

The garlic knots were PERFECT. I've been searching for a garlic knot of this caliber ever since I left Pennsylvania, and my favorite pizza spot that served garlic knots this way. It's the perfect excuse to splurge on butter and garlic and oil and bread. The chicken Marsala itself was delicious, but the vegetables and mashed potatoes were a little bland. It could've used some seasoning. Their menu was very large and I wanted to try a bunch of items, so I think the next time I try Anthony's, I will dine in, order the garlic knots, and try some other menu items that I've been eyeing up!

The customer service was lacking: 1. They told us it'd be a 20 min wait. It was a weekday evening so we were surprised that there'd be a wait. No issue with that. We waited for almost 30 min. So we decided to check in on the table and the hostess said it was ready. Im not sure if she forgot about us but it was odd that we didn't get a text. 2. Our waitress wasn't the most friendly and was sometimes hard to track down for things. Besides the service the food was really good. The burger spring rolls were great and they also serve frozen peach bilinis like the viral ones from Toronto. They have a happy hour so I'll definitely be back to try that.

I was given a time it would be ready, but unfortunately had to wait almost another 20 minutes than originally given. The store front looked cute and had several tables inside and outside to sit at and eat. As for the food, I ordered a large pepperoni pizza, garlic knots, and an antipasta salad. The antipasta salad was delicious. It was packed with lots of meat and I enjoyed the dressing. The garlic knots were PACKES with garlic. So much garlic that yes, it will fill your car, your fridge, and you may also smell like garlic. They were cooked great. As for the pepperoni pizza, it was just okay. It did have a good amount of pepperonis on it, but the pizza as a whole just lacked flavor. It was a bit bland. Also the bottom of the pizza needed to cook a bit more. I will come back but I think the antipasta and knots will be my go to.

Incredibly disappointed in the TLB. I've been a fan for a long time, especially their dry aged…read moremeats, and am more than willing to pay for this type of product. Today, though, I noticed them selling Japanese Wagyu as: Sake Infused Dry Aged A9 Kobe Strip. This is a very scammy way of selling a product. First, meat is graded broadly on three scales - USDA (choice, prime), BMS (beef marbling scale - common in Aus), and the Japanese grading scale. (A1-A5, with most high end steaks being A4 or the gold standard, A5). https://meatnbone.com/blogs/the-clever-cleaver/meat-beef-grading-system-understanding A9 doesn't exist. A BMS 9 could be an A5. But this is mislabeled. They have also used the term A11 in their instagram account. Maybe they are confusing BMS for A-scale, or maybe they are intentionally trying to make their product seem better than competitors. Furthermore, not all Japanese Wagyu is Kobe beef. Kobe beef refers to Tajima cattle raised in Hyogo Japan. The export of this beef is highly regulated to only certain restaurants and purveyors, who will display a seal and certificate certifying the origin of the beef. It is rare, expensive, and most importantly, Bush Brothers (Local Butcher's wholesale purveyor) is not certified to sell, nor do they use in any way, the term Kobe Beef. So it is incredibly likely that this product is mislabeled. This isn't illegal (Kobe beef doesn't have a TM in the US), but it is disingenuous. https://www.kobe-niku.jp/en/contents/certification/index.html https://instagram.com/bushbros Next, "sake infused"is incredibly confusing. Is it referring to the myth that Kobe cattle are massaged with sake? Is it referred to the use of koji (fermented cooked rice) which is often used as an aging accelerant? Or did they really take Japanese Wagyu and infuse (inject, soak?) with sake? And why on earth would you do that!? It would be like making sangria with a bottle of DRC. This product is likely a A5 strip loin (which Bush Bros. does carry) that has been aged. Market price would be somewhere around $175-185/lb. (An unaged cut would be around $150/lb.) When I asked for more information on the most expensive cut of meat in their shop, I was treated with disdain and a dismissive attitude. Neither member of the staff could answer my questions other than to say "It's the highest grade of Kobe beef." To charge $215 dollars for a grade that doesn't exist, for a steak that isn't from Kobe, with an aging method that seems dubious at best, is disingenuous and plays on a lack of consumer knowledge. If The Local Butcher themselves don't know the differences here, they shouldn't sell this product. If they do, they should be ashamed of themselves.
