Early Barber appointment in Hillsborough had me looking for breakfast soon after and Yelp reminded…read moreme of The Village Diner that was conveniently on my route back to the office. Not having the time to sit down and enjoy the meal (which I kind of regret after arriving to pick it up); I placed the order through the TOAST App and it was a very easy, straight-forward menu and ordering process. I went simple with a B-Y-O Biscuit of sausage and egg with a side of home fries. I really appreciated the choices of egg style on the biscuit customization menu and went with scrambled for this one. All of that washed down with a simple black coffee. Ten minutes later and I'm at the restaurant that's an easy, short jaunt from downtown on King Street. It occurred to me then that I'd been here once before when it was in the whole building but that was years ago. The new space is cozy, with a down-home feel of mason jar light fixtures, vintage signs, and just a nice diner vibe. A few minutes after arriving, I received my order and was out the door, pleasantly happy with an affordable breakfast in my hand. The food was excellent, the sausage tasted almost local, and the egg was perfectly cooked and proportioned. The biscuit was perfectly baked, slightly fluffy, with a buttery flavor that complimented the sausage and egg. Next time, I'll add a spoon of blackberry jam or apple butter and I think it would knock it put of the park. The home fries had good flavor, but I forgot to ask for any condiments, so eating them plain was a bit of a frustration, but they had a dusting of spices that worked. The coffee was piping hot, fresh, and what I would call standard fare diner coffee.... but you're not here for the coffee. All in all, highly recommended and I will be back, though maybe for a lunch meal next time.

It have me a chance to chat with the owner or mgr, not sure which, but either way, nice guy. They have a pizza joint next door that's open in the evening. I'm not really into biscuits so had a bacon, egg and cheese on potato bread. I was surprised that it was a half sandwich, but Bread Shop bread is so big I guess that's why. It was very tasty, although would have liked the bread a bit more toasted. They make their own pepper jelly on site so had that on the bread. It's not too spicy, but does have a bit of a zing. What I didn't use I brought home. If I'm in the area again I'd def give lunch a try.

My wife and I both ordered a half-serving of Casarecce pasta with the ragu sauce and meatballs. The pasta was obviously house made and cooked perfectly al dente.

For a Saturday lunch, the restaurant was surprisingly full. I thought that the restaurant had a great vibe and oozed personality, which was reinforced by our polite and efficient server. All in all, Antonia's offered up a very nice location for a leisurely lunch. Given the quality of the food and the overall experience, it was a very reasonable value. We will go back.

I thought mine was pretty good, but she said the wedding soup was pretty average. But what keeps my rating at 3 stars, was the service....or lack of. Our server just didn't seem interested. Anytime we needed anything, we had to flag her down and ask for it. She did not check on us at any point. Just kind of takes away from the experience when the service is sub par.

I had the Bad Henny with potato salad. Everything was tasty. My only complaint would be the bread kept sliding off. But that potato was one my favorites ever. So tasty. The rootbeer which they make was a great nonalcoholic taste. Overall seemed like a chill spot with good services. Very friendly folks. Nice spot inside and out. I look forward to trying a pizza next.

Our waitress was so kind and helpful as we were figuring out our pizza orders. We opted for the Funghi, Salsicca, Panna, and Margherita with added salami. When they served the pizzas, it looked like a wonderful collage of colors. It smelled so good, and it tasted even better! Each one of the pizzas stood out in its own way. The sauce on the margherita was so flavorful and savory, and the funghi pizza was very rich. But I would say the main star of the show was the crust. It was perfectly crunchy and chewy, and it wasn't too soggy. We demolished our pizzas at the end. The atmosphere was also light and bustling, with people sitting at the bar or the low tables with their pizzas. I would 100% come back to this restaurant!!

We got to sit next to the pizza prepper after it comes out of the oven: from cooking, to prepping, to serving is all handled like a well oiled machine. So it comes out deliciously hot, crust perfectly cooked, and all served with a smile. The pizzas were perfect as well as the kale salad we had and the delicate seafood soup in a light tomato broth. They got very busy before we left yet the guy responsible for getting the pizzas ready was chatting with me like he had all the time in the world. I begged them to open up in Boston and I would probably be there 2wice a week. This is hands down my go to restaurant when I am in Durham. The ambiance is perfect for the type of restaurant it is and the service was great. There is no pizza better anywhere in the world according to me. We went with my 2.6 year old grandbaby and the hostess went out of her way to make sure she had a high chair which took some doing to get it off the previous table. You have to go early to secure a seat. Mushroom pizza with arugula and the plain margarita with ricotta hit the spot.

Of the two, the pepperoni slice was my favorite, but both slices were home-runs. I appreciated that the slices seemed to be made fresh, not reheated. Like most pizza places, they seem to do mostly take-out but they do have several tables indoors and we found it to be a comfortable dining experience. Definitely a restaurant that will stay top of mind when I am craving pizza - I'm gonna go ahead and say it is within the top 3 of my favorite pizzas I've had in the Triangle!

"Excellent Detroit-style thick rectangular pizzas in Brightleaf"…read more Came here on a Thursday night at 6:15pm. The place is modestly lit, with brick walls inside and several large TVs around. Almost all the booths were already occupied, but we got the last one. Our server was friendly and described the pizzas for us. My girlfriend ordered the shaved Brussels sprouts salad and I ordered a Caesar salad. We also ordered the Nashville hot chicken pizza (sixer) to share. The salads came fast and were delicious. You could taste that there are real anchovy bits in the Caesar and the cherries in the Brussels sprouts salad added a delightful sweetness. It was about 30 minutes after we ordered that we got the pizza, but MAN it was worth the wait. The chicken was perfectly seasoned, the white sauce had a tang of mayo while being quite spicy, and the overall combo was delightful. It was notable that the toppings REALLY fell off the pizzas, so this was much easier to fork & knife than hand-eat, but so be it. And they were generous with the toppings. Price was good- $55 (including for a mocktail) before tip. Overall, an excellent pizza option in Durham if you're looking for something a little different. I'll happily come back.

We were seated promptly but I asked what would have happened if we didn't have reservations? She said that we probably would have been turned away. This seemed a little odd at first since the restaurant was NOT full by any means (see pics). It was full by the time we left though so, MAKE RESERVATIONS! I had an espresso martini and my husband had a ponysaurus IPA. Both of us were happy with our drinks! We ordered the Shaved Brussel Sprout Salad to start (and share). We ordered the regular and it was PLENTY! My husband didn't care for it but I absolutely LOVED it and will come back just for this salad. We then shared a Good Paulie Sixer and it was PHENOMENAL. Truly the best pizza I've had in a long time. The crust was cooked perfectly...did you get personal pan pizzas from Pizza Hut back in the 90s when you completed your BOOK IT button? Did you think they were the best thing in the world? If so, this pizza is definitely for you! The other couple with us had the Meatsiah Tenner but didn't order a starter and still took some of it home. My husband really like their pizza and I think that he actually would have preferred it. I guess we will have to come back! LOL The service was good, the bathrooms were nice, overall a great experience. The best thing was the food and we will definitely return.
