Reviews for Antonio's

The drive from Erie to Conneaut Lake is absolutely worth it for a visit to Antonio's Italian Restaurant. With its eclectic dining room, attentive staff, and a menu packed with delicious options like perfectly cooked steak and incredible escargot, every meal feels special. The warm atmosphere and personal touch from Chef Tony make it a favorite spot for celebrating occasions or simply indulging in exceptional food.

My wife and two friends ate at Antonio's last night. We've eaten there numerous times a it's always been excellent. Last night was an exception. It took over an hour to get our food. My wife got the $68 lobster tail, it was huge however she had trouble cutting it with the table knife. It was as tough as a bad steak. I order the ciopolini ( spelling?). The juice was bland. I'd like to mention that the antipasto bar was awesome as usual and the desserts we had were great. I will go back assuming they had an off night.

I have nothing bad to say about Antonio's. The owner greeted us upon entry and was very nice. He obviously knows what he's doing, because that was the best meal I've had in a long time. The wait staff was outstanding as well. I live 100 miles away and can't wait to go back the next time I'm in the area. It's a pure diamond in the rough. Thanks for a great experience!

We made reservations at this restaurant on a Saturday although I do not resemble usual higher end restaurant clientele I was treated very well by not only the owner tony the staff the we associated with were outstanding. The food very good highly recommend the cioppino will definitely return .

I have to agree with all the ratings. The food here is very good. The choices and quality are very good to excellent. However, the service and the hospitality aspects are abysmal. The waitress we have had (I believe it is the owner's wife) is rude condescending and belligerent. We had not had encounter with Tony for several years. That is until last year. We were unexpectedly available for dinner one Saturday night and there were only two of us so I thought I would give them a call for reservations. Tony answered the phone and we ask about coming around 6 or so. He said nothing until after 8:30. I said "ok but that won't work for us". He said "Well what do you expect calling at this late date for reservations." I simply hung up. We spend summers up there so I am willing to overlook the attitudes once a year for a good dinner.

The owner of the second rate restaurant is a right-wing nut job. He only wants other right-wing crazies to patronize his restaurant. If you like bad overly priced food with a side helping of Trumpism, this is the place for you.

We stopped in because we were out that way. We had 4 adults and 4 children under 5. We saw on the sign that no children under 7 would be served. I went in to inquire, and the place is very nice, the lady just said the same about the children. It is their right to do that. At first I was thinking we won't go there again, but then thought why not as a couple get-a-way some evening. We will probably try it again. (without children )

Absolutely, would not recommend this restaurant to any family at all! Save your time, and money! Owner feels no children should be served under the age of 7! When ask why? Hostess explains due to risk of accidental injury! Your kidding me? I stooped because your a small community business I was trying to support! Sorry you just lost our business and every family that had children under 7! This rate is a Zero! Your business is a JOKE!

Our experience was quite different from the other review. We were greeted upon entering the restaurant by Chef Antonio and warmly welcomed. His wait staff was superb, antipasta bar was filled with unique salads and quite good. His menu is quite extensive and offers everything from your normal Italian dishes (ravioli, manicotti, veal/chicken & eggplant parm) to a variety of beef, veal and seafood dishes. Desserts were excellent as well and our party of 6 enjoyed ourselves so much we were already planning our next visit.

Never got to eat, because the owner, Chef Tony was rude and unprofessional prior to being seated. He allowed another patron to eat with her hand off the anti-pasta bar and when we witnessed the behavior, Chef Tony said "If you don't like it, there are other places for you to eat down the road." We left without being seated. To be treated in such a horrific and appaling manner is unacceptable in teh service industry! The food may or may not be good- we can not comment on that. We can only comment on the horrible service we got just waiting to be seated!
