Antonia's

Cramped and just okay food (frozen raviolis from local grocery!!). Last experience at Antonia's ended atrociously - according to the host, NO ONE was managing the restaurant and when the credit card machine broke, the servers were completely incompetent and told me to walk two blocks in the rain after dark to an ATM to get $ to pay the bill (even after I suggested writing the credit card info and charging the card # later) without even a ""We apologize."" This experience has left me never wanting to go back. Pros: Location - central Davis Sq. Cons: Attitude of Service more

this is a place that we have wanted to love since the first time we went (about 3 years ago) and the last 2 times have finally convinced us that this is a place we now enjoy. If you live near the square this is a place you should hitt. can an someone tell me why the word HITT ( i have to misspell it) to is detected as an inappropriate word on citysearch?? more

We prefer dining at Antonia's to dining in the North End. The food is just as good, service is better, and parking is easier. We recommend the caprese salad to start - beautiful presentation! more

Great Italian food without the hassle of going to the North End. It's a small place but very cozy. They don't serve liquor but have a good winde list. Best risotto ever!!! Pros: great food Cons: small place, long wait....CALL AHEAD its worth it! more

I used to really like Antonias, until last Saturday. We were there at 9:30PM and the kitchen closes at 10PM (on a sat night!!). They told us to order real soon. Moreover,2 people in our party ordered only appetizers and drinks. That's when the waiter reminds us there is a $16 min charge per person. The manager sticks by his new policy and we tell him we would leave. He did not mind losing business, because we left, and since their kitchen closed in 15min, they definitely didn't replace us with other patrons. Ironically,1 appetizer + 2 drinks, would have cost more than $16 anyway, but they were so scared that our friends didn't order a traditional entree that they preferred to show us how bad the service can be!! Pros: uuhhmmm... Cons: bad service, $16 min per person more

Great atmosphere...great for a date but not so much for a large party. Expect a line afte 9pm on the weekend...eggplant parm was perfectly prepared. more

We ordered the 6 dollar house salad. Usually this is a standard experience when we dine, however tonight our pallets were tickled with house made italian dressing that made me giggle. The sliced roasted red peppers accompanied by fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, basil and crispy greens only furthered the experience as they formed a perfect balance. For me salad will never be the same. The fever was catchy, even the people next to us, who had already eaten, could not help but ohh and ahh over the presentation of our salad as it arrived. The color along with the balsamic reduction garnish was truly artistic. We already knew our dinners would be equally amazing and we were not let down. I am only at our salads and I am already out of words. Thank you Antonia's! We will be back! more

This is by far my favorite restaurant in the city (even, dare I say it, above the North end!) The food is amazing, all cooked to order, the people are all extremely friendly, and it's cozy! It's a great place for a date! more

We've been in Antonia's twice and it just keep getting better. Their sauces are delicious, theirseafood fresh and their handmade pasta has no paralell in somerville. I'd go back if it were a little less expensive. Good and cozy for an special ocassion. We LOVE Antonias. Pros: food, service, ambience more

Went to Antonia's for lunch, they're really small, but weren't busy, so we got seated right away. They food was freshly prepared, which meant we had to wait good 20 minutes for it. I had veal marsala, which was delicious, although I couldn't say I appreciated the skimpy side of pasta with marinara sauce(didn't choose the sauce). Food is not too expensive, but could be better if pasta side was bigger. Overall, pretty good place to go. more

The title says it all, but you might enjoy this story. We went to Antonia's after they were open for two months on a Wednesday night around 9:50 p.m. They greeted us with, We stop serving at 10:00. I said, Great, weve got ten minutes to order. At which, they responded with, No, not really were getting ready to close. With only one table seated in the restaurant, this treatment left me wondering how much longer this place will survive. In December 04, we decided to give them another try. The food was just Ok. You do not get the impression from these folks that they are passionate about making inspired cuisine. The formula does not make for great dining experience. I dont even remember what we ate, but I do remember that it was forgettable. Pros: Location, Ambience Cons: Poor Service, Uninspired Dishes, Forgettable more
