Anthony's Restaurant Catering

Being a former employee of Anthony, I can attest that he does an excellent business. Perfect? No. What restraunt is? I urge you to call Anthony's. Ask for him personally. If he is not there, ask for Paula, his sister, and manager. I assure you they will make it right! If she is not there, keep calling! Go down, whatever it takes! more

Every time I go to Anthony?s they treat their guests as if they are doing them a favor instead of the exact opposite like any other respectable business. Most of the staff is unfriendly. The staff clearly is uncoordinated and inefficient were they kept four staff members standing around the podium doing nothing at all. After sitting several minutes a waitress made her presence and did not read off any specials, but did take our drink order. She brought my guest a sweetened iced tea, instead of unsweetened. The waitress was simply asked to replace the iced tea and then a snotty ?sorry? came out which came complete with a negative facial expression. To make matters worse I could hear her in the kitchen complaining to other staff members about the situation!!! She took our order and usually (if you are lucky) with the dinner you are served with garlic knots before the meal, instead she served us overly toasted and mutilated garlic bread with sauce, while everyone else was served knots. She brought another batch of the terrible bread out while other guests received their knots and some a second helping. We asked the waitress if there was any reason why we did not receive any knots and she sharply responded ?we had some in the oven, but we are out now? and quickly walked away. Still after that second very simple question, everyone and their great grandmother were receiving garlic knots. It was now very apparent she had it in for us, because the service (didn?t think it could be possible, but it?s true) slowed even more from refills to getting the check. The slow service cannot be blamed on being busy as there were only four other tables with guests. Also, I was not shy or ashamed about not leaving a tip. If you are looking for great Italian food with excellent friendly service and staff who don?t treat their customers badly, then this Italian joint would not be my first choice. If visiting the area I recommend either Binghamton Grande Pizzeria resturant. Pros: Nice Ambience Cons: Uncaring Staff more

I arrived at the podeum , while I saw all sorts of staff go by not one of them acknowledged me. I waited 5 minutes before anyone spoke to me. Upon ordering the waitress stated "We are out of Shrimp, Scallops and Gnocchi if you want to leave now go ahead". We had to ask what the specials were she never offered. I ordered a meal that had both shrimp and scallops in it and requested more clams in replacement. When it came it did have 2 shrimp in it that were old,and hard as a rock. I don't know where they got them from. It tasted like they took them out of another dish, washed them off and recooked them in my meal. Upon ordering we told her that alchoholic beverages had to be paid for seperatly. The bills had one dinner on a seperate check than the rest. She charged one guest for one drink and put the other two drinks on another guests bar tab. Upon attempting to order desset "We don't have any desserts its too hot". Whatever that means. I never knew it to be to hot for a restaurant to offer dessert. No offer of coffe or anything else. Just "Do you want your bill". We agreed. 25 minutes later we sent a guest up to retreive the bill as she never came back with it. Now you may make excuse for her or the restaurant being overly busy so let me put those thoughts to rest. I had a party of 6 and there was one other table of 7 in the whole restaurant . Also it had been 95 degrees for the past and they did not have airconditioning or the fans on. Half way through the meal a bus boy came out with a chair and pull all the stings to the 6 ceiling fans. Now all of this may not seem too horrible for a low priced restaurant however the dinners range from $14.99-$22.99 so it is not a low range restaurant in this area. It is suppose to be one of the highest quality. Now I am not just bashing Anthony's, my business has had two other dinners here that were fine that is why we had gone back for the 3rd. and were really looking forward to it. However I will never go back again. Cons: Wait staff, temperature, lack of food available that is on the menu more
