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.

Overall, it was a good experience. A plus is that they make their pasta on site and if you sit inside you can actually see the pasta airing. This is a lovely and pricey spot, so keep that in mind.

Disclaimer, I had only found out about them through a Yelp Elite event that I went to. However, the small sample I had from them was so good, I had to go try it out myself. I'm going to sound very uncultured and uneducated for about couple of lines. I kinda roughly knew that Neapolitan described a type of Italian style of food. Really that Neapolitan ice cream is strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla and that Neapolitan pizza meant open face tomato sauce pizza with mozzarella balls and fresh basil leaves. That's pretty much the extent of my knowledge. So with a little bit of research and Googling, I found out that Neapolitan cuisine is cuisine from Naples, Italy. I think every time a culture crosses the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean and lands in America, it almost somehow goes through some kind of Americanization that changes how people perceive it. Anyway, the store is relatively small but parking isn't too hard. They have some tables inside to eat there. They even have some ingredients and snacks for purchase. The owners are very nice and welcoming. I got the Toto, which is prosciutto, shaved parmesan, mozzarella, arugula, olive oil, and tomatoes on in-house made focaccia. It was $14 and a huge sandwich. They brought it fresh to me and I got a pistachio espresso to go with it. Insanely delicious and great price for all that food. The sandwich was a 10/10 for me. The pistachio espresso was a 9/10. Overall, I'll be back because why haven't I heard about this place before. Shout out to Yelp for helping me discover it.

The interior kinda has a hipster-rustic vibe but with more comfortable chairs. Prices seemed reasonable. Service seemed a bit overwheled but again, I think the massive event letting out had something to do with that. I got a cheese board, truffled fries, fried chicken caviar, and a deviled affogato for dessert. My date for the creste di gallo and the olive oil citrus cake. Everything was was very good, with the standout being the fries; I know that truffle essence flavor isn't for everyone but it worked really well for me in the fry sauce. My dates pasta was also very good, the pesto sauce was zesty and complimented it well. And I really like the olive oil cake with mascarpone, super light and perfectly sweet. The very minor issues were that the fried chicken was pretty deeply fried and way harder than expected, which I don't mind but may not be your thing. Devil's food cake at the bottom of the affogato was also not as sweet as I would have liked. Overall a really enjoyable experience. Would definitely recommend.

Don't order an espresso martini with reposado because it'll cost about $35. The servers are always on point and I feel are knowledgeable about the menu and the drinks. Thankfully, one of them warned me about the espresso martini cost so I dodged that bullet. I love the wine options and there's so many amazing ones to try. Same for the menu, lots of variety and you really can't go wrong.

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.

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.
