The last three times have been an utter disappointment. Wow, I’ve recommended this place to SO many people, not to mention this used to be our go to spot. Will be taking a break- hopefully they can get not only the food but the service together.
Quality of dishes has suffered. I have photos of what it was like 6+ months ago vs the last 3 months. The dish had almost NO sauce. Had to ask
For extra & the guy was RUDE “ it will take at least 12 minutes to get you more” meanwhile he let me sit there with my cold food to wait. While my husband finished his food & this was our Valentine’s Day celebration. The people next to us got there well after us & ordered after us but got food before us.
I get that places and people have off days. When it’s a frequent issue then it’s a problem.. We get passed over for service constantly & when asking for items we never receive in a time manner& have to ask more than once.
The owner has had to fix issues when only bringing it to her attention ( which was wonderful when she is there)
I don’t mind spending the money on good food & service but when we are sitting there for over 2 hours with issues it makes us not want to come back.
Will not be recommending for a while.

Someone recommended this place and we were very excited to try it. We will not be back, the food was very disappointing. My alla vodka sauce tasted store bought and my husband’s dish had no sauce. The marinara for the appetizer was definitely not freshly made. Just overall not a good experience.

I definitely recommend this restaurant. The food, service and ambience deserves five stars. The food was delicious and the presentation was picture perfect. The staff was friendly and efficient.

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!

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!!
