My husband and I came in last night for a quick dinner. Courtney was amazing! I don't leave a lot of reviews but that was the best service I've had in a long time. We own a restaurant and it is so hard to find people like her!!

We recently tried Antico Italian Restaurant for the first time, having high expectations as fans of familiar chains like Olive Garden. The restaurant has a charming ambiance and wasn't too busy when we visited.
Service was prompt, but we were surprised by the packaged butter with the bread, especially for an Italian restaurant. The bread's crust was also a bit too thick for our taste.
Our entrees had mixed results. The Capellini Al Pesto with Shrimp was delicious! They kindly removed the shrimp tails per our request, and the seasoning was perfectly balanced.
Unfortunately, the Chicken Marsala was a disappointment. The chicken breasts were overly thick, making the dish feel under-sauced. The sauce itself was watery, and the mushrooms felt a touch undercooked.
I'd suggest the restaurant consider cutting the chicken breasts thinner to better absorb the sauce and thickening the sauce itself for a richer flavor.
Overall, while the Capellini Al Pesto was fantastic, the Chicken Marsala left us underwhelmed. We're unsure if we'll return, but if we do, it would be strictly for that wonderful pesto pasta!

6/25/2024 I ordered two meals, chicken marsala, cesar salad, and rigatoni with marinara sauce. The portions were huge and the food was delicious. It also came with nice warm bread!
The chicken marsala had two pieces of chicken with mushrooms on top and pasta underneath it!
I was pleasantly surprised how wonderful the food was. When I went to pick it up a woman was inside and I asked her if she had eaten there before and she said she was from NY and she said the food was great! So that was good enough for me!
I didn’t sit inside the restaurant I ordered food to go! The place was busy but my food was ready when I arrived! I highly recommend stopping here for lunch or dinner! Enjoy!!!

This place is a hidden gem! The food is absolutely incredible—everything we tried was full of authentic Italian flavor. The pasta dishes were perfectly cooked, and the sauces tasted homemade.
The service was just as fantastic as the food—our server was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, making it the perfect spot for a date night or family dinner.
I highly recommend trying their tiramisu for dessert—it’s the best I’ve ever had! Can’t wait to come back and explore more of their menu.

Very conflicted about this because our family was here less than 2 weeks ago on a Monday and had the best food. Now that it’s Friday night and busy the service and food is way below par. We waited 20mins for a table and 40 mins for food which is fine if the food is good but we were highly disappointed. Not to mention our server Emily was so busy she barely had a chance to even come over to our table. Let alone notice that my wife didn’t eat any of her food because the shrimp scampi was so plain and so salty it wasn’t worth the $20 price or that the pork tenderloin on my plate wasn’t really touched because it was too tough to eat. We tried to get her attention but it was unsuccessful so we just asked for some boxes and left. So I guess if you’re going to go here pick a day that won’t be busy.
