    This is my 3rd time now coming! Our food is great each time. Most recently we sat on the patio for the first time, it was so nice. The staff was really attentive, even though the majority of the tables were seated inside. I got the lasagna poppers as an app and chicken Marsala as my meal. The bread you get with your meal is great too. Portions are really generous. We always love the lasagna poppers, I've never had anything like them. We will keep coming back.

    After trying many Italian restaurants named Antonio's across Connecticut, we decided to try the original Antonio's. Everything about this restaurant was wonderful. The food was fresh with good size portions and definitely a good value. The service was fabulous and the ambience was pleasant even though the restaurant itself is very small.

    Such an amazing experience at Antonio's. We got lasagna poppers, pasta Rockefeller, and the pork chop. Our server was great, and very helpful. Very small place with a big heart, it feels like a Sunday night dinner with family.

    Did take out from here last week since no tables were available on a Friday which was understandable! I definitely have found my new favorite pizza in the area. I decided on half eggplant half chicken parm with onions and it was fantastic. I can't wait to dine in soon!

    We were very happy to find out that we can bring a dog to the outside patio of the restaurant. It was such a great meal and a wonderful night eating out on their patio. The service was great (thanks Gia ) and the food is always AMAZING

    3.2.25 This place is a win win from start to finish. It's a smaller cozy Italian family run restaurant with food that's so tasty. Delicious actually. They're a little hidden gem goldmine. They're stuck right in plain sight but unassuming. Their service is always kind and caring. Genuine sincere hospitality. They're located right off of the highway. Easy access in either direction. The parking lot is also on the smaller side but I've never had an issue finding a spot. I've been coming here for quite a while and tried many different items from their menu. The one that sticks out the most to me is their amazing lasagna. It's the perfect balance of pasta, sauce and cheese. It's just wet & saucy enough without being messy. I don't like lasagna that's in the drier side or a lil pasty side. I've done take out and dined in and I can tell you that their to go food travels well. Almost forgot about their bread. Think it's made on the premises but not positive. It's so good it tastes like homemade to me. So I'm sticking with that until I know for sure or not. But still loving it. Their prices are reasonable for the amount of food you get but more importantly the quality of food you receive. That's worth the price. Loving you Antonio's. My only nitpicking tidbit is the wait time for to go food when I've called for pickup. But I knew there's plenty things in life to be more worried about than this. Only my two cents worth. Still a worthy 5 ***** review in my book that's well worth it.

    Take out pizza

    The food here is excellent for a little family place in the valley. Directly off route 8 north / south the restaurant is on the right before a small shopping center past the firehouse. Interior is small but does have plenty of seating when not very busy. I have never made a reservation and most times early enough especially on weekend ls we have gotten a table or waited minimal time. I have also done plenty of take out with no issues in ordering or getting food as they have an entrance / window for pick ups. The food is delicious thry make fantastic pizza but I prefer and I have had the pasta in a cream sauce with chicken and cherry peppers which is always delicious. Have also had the carpel chicken and the thick cut pork chops in a Demi glaze with cherry peppers as well , get the theme I like some heat with the sweetness for an offset. So if your in the valley whether pick up / takeout or your looking a nice family run Italian eatery then stop on in. https://www.theoriginalantoniosmenu.com/

    Always a good time, always good food, always consistent with their flavor and quality. Unlike most Italian restaurants nowadays, this place still serves a salad before your entree. They give you bread to snack on as well before any food arrives. It's small, cozy, but with plenty of seating inside. The place is clean, easy to navigate, and has a cozy inviting feeling. I have been going here for over 10 years now and won't stop doing so. The service is always great, they greet you when you walk in, seat you, and get right to it- no beats skipped. Highly recommend going here if you're looking for absolutely delicious Italian cuisine, that's super affordable and reasonably portioned . I will say though, I was surprised to see that they serve canola oil in their oil dispensers at the table. I use olive oil for cooking, frying, everything , so I'd like to say I'm easily able to identify even a blend.

    We went to Antonio's on Sunday and were beyond impressed. The space is warm and cozy. You feel like you're visiting family. The staff is so welcoming and kind. I don't have enough wonderful things to say about them. The food was wonderful! So homey yet creative. I'm very picky about where I eat Italian and we already plan to return. The dishes were flavorful and comforting. We focused on the specials menu and were not disappointed in the least! We had fried mozzarella, pepperoni and onion hot honey flat bread, broccoli rave, braised beef ravioli, chicken parm alla vodka, and ricotta cheesecake. There wasn't a bad bite to be had. Make sure to discover this hidden gem for yourself!

    If you're looking for an amazing Italian dinner then this is definitely a must visit spot. The food is incredible and the service is even better. It is a family owned establishment and they make it very known - everyone there feels like family and you are greeted with a smile and a positive attitude. The interior is up-scale and perfect for a night out with family and friends, or date night. Plenty of parking on the side of the building or the street. I could recommend any of their dishes. The chicken Parmesan with vodka was incredible. They told me they sell over 200 a week and that is no surprise to me. The hot honey pepperoni pizza is also top of my list, and the caramelized onions were a great addition to the pie. Check out their appetizers, desserts, and specials too because truly there is so much they have to offer.

    I just realized I haven't written a better updated review for Antonio's in all of the years I've been coming here, so it's time for me to rectify that! My fiancé has lived 2 minutes up the road for years, and I live less than 10 minutes away, so Antonio's has been a local go-to for us for years. They serve fresh Italian bread before the meal, and if you've been visiting as long as we have, you know to ask for the white bean hummus to dip it in (trust me, you won't regret it - we sometimes buy a pint to take home)! The whole family works here, and you NEED to make a reservation any time of the day you want to dine here, because they're always packed and it's a smaller space. Their pizzas and dinners are delicious, and we especially love the meatballs for an appetizer. Antonio's is truly the heart of Beacon Falls!
