What a wonderful surprise. We were just looking for a quick lunch, and ended up with one of the very best meals ever. The salmon Picata and pasta were outstanding. Plan to return. We also purchased marinara cause to take home. Outstanding!
Amazing food! Salmon was the best I have had anywhere. Great service for a quick lunch.
I've eaten there twice in the past month. Each time was a treat. Great food, great service, great conversations with the server and the owner. Best Italian food I've had south of NYC. No surprise that the owner is from New York:-)
Very nice intimate Italian restaurant. The caesar said was amazing. Everything looked great. Very friendly service. Definitely a place you should check out.
Nice people there, I have good food!
Nice local Italian restaurant, glad the reviews were legit. Good food, nice furnishings, friendly staff.
1st time there, my friend has been bragging about it, so gave it a try, we loved it service, food was great.
Delicious as always! We love having dinner here.
It had nice atmosphereand good service, but the food was just ok and it was over priced.
Food was good. Waitress was the worst. Was having lunch with a friend and we asked that she split the bill evenly between us. She charged my card for the whole bill then charged me again for half. Get some competent waitresses.
Baked salmon has lot of gravy and so is their chicken Marsala Overall food is below average and tastes bad
I came in for lunch one day with my mom and her friend and we were very impressed! The wait staff were kind, attentive, and gave us great recommendations. My mom decided to come back next week for her birthday! Beautiful decorations and very cute patio space.
Absolutely love this restaurant. Amazing service, extremely nice staff and hosts. Food is authentic, well priced, and delicious! Wine is great and they have brands you can't get anywhere else. Cozy and comfortable environment that's casual but upscale at the same time. They make you feel at home and can accommodate to most needs. I highly recommend this restaurant.
Very good Italian food. Great atmosphere. I will definetly go again.
Food is awesome and service fantastic
The veal parmesan was fantastic. Was recommended by a friend was not disappointed.
All was bland - no flavor. Sorry. I tried 3 different tacos and the meats were all overcooked and no taste.
Great find for a local Italian restaurant. In a world where every restaurant is part of a chain, instead there is Antico, a real restaurant with food cooked by a real chef....excellent ingredients, done to perfection, I have not been disappointed by any of my selections on return visits. The staff is very friendly and you feel like family when you return for the first time.
Amazing food and the staff is fast and friendly. If you go, call ahead because they fill up fast!
Not the greatest. Sorry!!!!!
Always a sure thing. My wife and I have been there several times and have never been disappointed. I highly recommend this restaurant.
Great food and service. We went for a second visit and again the food and service was absolutely amazing.
Delicious! The food was great. We arrived 1/2 hour before closing and were still served by a very friendly staff.
Wonderful! Amazing food, beautiful, comfortable atmosphere. Lovely staff. A+
Authentic Italian cuisine at reasonable prices, and good service
Delicious! Dined on a Saturday evening with my husband, our 3yo and 5mo daughters. Had a short ten minute wait that was worth every second. Matt, our waiter, was prompt, friendly and made excellent recommendations. My husband enjoyed the veal Parmesan, I had penne alla vodka and our daughter got buttered noodles. We shared a Caesar salad to start. All was absolutely delicious. Service was wonderful. Highly recommend.
Good food and great service.
I’m not locals and decided to try it out from all the reviews. Let me tell you the food was amazing!!! Had the special that was flounder and shrimp with garlic portobello mushroom sauce and with fettuccine infused with portobello mushrooms. It was AMAZING! Will come back next time I’m in town for sure!!
Great food and wonderful server!!
Love this restaurant and staff! Nice, clean, elegant and cozy to wine and dine with your family or your partner.
Best Italian food in the area Pastas are wonderful. Solid wine list.
Great meal here last night, highly recommended. Good wine list, tasty hot fresh bread, the antipasto platter could be a meal for two in and of itself. Super friendly service and great food. Great place!
My wife and I absolutely love this place. The waiter Michael made us feel at home. Awesome customer service. My wife and I just relocated to charlotte from Miami so we know good food. This Italian resturant has to be the best in North Carolina
Just finished a delicious dinner. Our server, Johnny was exceptional as was the food. We dined there for our grandsons 9th birthday. They allowed us to bring an ice cream cake, kept it frozen while we ate, plus our grandson got a free birthday cannoli. Excellent!
Antico is beyond delicious. I am so happy I found this gem. The service is fantastic, everyone is always friendly. I definitely recommend the chicken parm, that is always my go to. The food quality is great and so are the prices. My only request is that they jar and sell the marinara sauce.
Absolutely delicious food. Very attentive service. Atmosphere relaxed and comfortable.
The owner is amazing, the staff is equally great..., And the food was fresh and cook to perfection.
Awesome food and atmosphere. Real authentic Italian. You can taste the quality. My Pollo aka Chicken Marsala was on point! This just may be my new weekly addiction. The staff are great. Beautiful atmosphere.
Food was wonderful !!!
Horrible! This was our first and last time trying the food. How it gets such good reviews is beyond me. We got the veal parm & fettuccini Alfredo as well as two pieces of cheesecake. When we got it home I couldn’t even eat mine. It was that awful. Husbands wasn’t much better. When we opened the bag to get the desserts we only had one piece but were charged for two. Total waste of money....
Food had generous portions! Food was better than most but not the best.
Jennifer is a wonderful server and beyond helpful! The food here is terrific and the kitchen was more than happy to help me figure out some vegan options from the menu. Will definitely come back.
Highly recommend this for great Italian food. Finding a local Italian place can be hard and this will be our new go to. The salmone verde was full of flavor and the zuppa di pesce had ample seafood. Worth every penny. My only negative is our booth was in a warm section which got uncomfortable once we were full of pasta.
Don't let the location in a strip mall fool you - great Italian food!! Only wished we had saved room for dessert...
Great Italian restaurant. Nice sized portions, authentic Italian food and reasonably priced. They often have wine specials. Can be very busy on weekends so plan accordingly. You won't be disappointed. We'll be back.
The best around
Absolutely the best Italian food! We have been here almost a dozen times and each and every time the dining experience and food is great!
Good food and excellent customer service
Great food & service! Had the Red Snapper, all I can say is wow! Nice and friendly place.
Food is amazing. The food Rivals any restaurant that you will consider next level. Five stars on all the way
Great ambiance. The decor, music and comfortable seating. Caprese appetizer was fantastic. Fettuccine with shrimp was good. My husband has the lasagna which he said was good, but not as good as mine, diplomatic. All in all a good addition to Huntersville.
Food was delicious. When we were leaving a torrential rain came. The hostess gave me an umbrella and she walked me to the car and took the umbrella back out.
Finally decent Italian food in Huntersville. They have all of the usual classics, along with nightly specials. They do a good job with seafood, especially the calamari. Very good marinara. My only recommendations...decent wine list, but only limited selection of bottled beer, no cocktails, and seating is tight. No reservations, and place gets very busy (no longer a hidden gem), so getting a table may take some time. Take out is available if you chose to skip the wait.
Cute place ..great food..very friendly staff.
While in route to Blacksburg from Atlanta we stoped off at this exit randomly and then googled best restaurants- for lunch. We took on a chance on this place and won the gamble. Actually I’ll have to give it two 5 star ratings. The reason for us as follows: The food was excellent we order tilapia picatti and chicken Marsala. They also brought fresh warm bread. All in all this was a very good meal , portions not to large and quality of taste excellent. I’d give the second 5 star for the cost. I couldn’t believe this lunch cost under $25. I wish we had places like this in Peachtree City. If your local you should support this restaurant and enjoy the meal, if your traveling - this is worth the extra time so enjoy the food and break.
Went for dinner for first time last weekend. There was a wait, so it's a bonus that Mickey & Mooch is next door. The service at Antico was prompt and attentive. All the plates were tasty with ample portions. For a delicious non-meat plate, try the Rigatoni Antico with sun-dried tomatoes and portabello mushrooms. We substituted their amazing marinara sauce for the cream sauce. So glad we did! It was the first to be devoured. Lower right in the photo.
Fresh pasta cooked to perfection. Excellent little place.
Fabulous chicken piccata and shrimp & clams w/ pasta. House pinot is tasty too.
Service was mediocre... Food was like warm and a bland...hope this was an off night. It's been better in the past.
The food was excellent, which is why this restaurant gets three stars. Our waitress however, was probably the worst one I ever had. I actually feel bad for her coworkers because they all had to pick up her slack. We saw her three times total, to ask what we want to drink, what we wanted to eat, and to drop off our check. The bus boy refilled my drink once, and he also ran the check itself. He also only did this after it seemed like we were completely forgotten. We left a small tip in hopes that its not just the waitress getting it and we felt bad for her coworkers who all seemed to be running around working while she was nowhere to be seen. She also only brought us bread after our food already came out and didn’t acknowledge that we should have had some from the start. We waited for our dinner the whole time with empty glasses and no bread. Everyone else had some, but we never even saw her again until it was time for the check so we couldn’t even ask. It was astounding. Everything at this restaurant is great. Have eaten here twice and the food is fantastic, but this lady should not be in the restaurant business. If you get an older woman with short hair who’s name I did not get, just walk out.
The food at this restaurant is the next best thing to being in Italy
This place is an absolute Gem! My wife and I decided to give this place a try after reading rave reviews on Yelp. I am sure glad we did... We had an amazing time and even more amazingly delicious food. The Service was top notch as well. The Chef made some requested changes to my wife's dish and it turned out phenomenal! The best we had ever had. My dish was amazing, albeit not as spicy as I prefer but, so delicious and flavorful... all the seafood was perfectly cooked and very fresh! We will be returning next time we are in the area! Floored and enamored with this place!
Very tasty and a good value
Ah love their food
Best Calamari in the area!
Result wonderful food and service. The staff went out of the way to flex for us because we had a special celebration.
Great place Some real Italian here in south
Everyone raves about this place so I gave it a try. Won't be back...
I've been there several times and each time the food is great.
I’ve been to Antico twice now and both times the food was great. I love having a local restaurant to visit with my family instead of a chain. We have been looking for a go-to restaurant with consistent food and service at a reasonable price and this restaurant is it!
The food is absolutely amazing. So flavorful!
The manager is very rude and obnoxious woman. She told me 15 minutes to pick my food up it was done in 45 minutes very disgusting servixe when i confronted her about it she gave me a "oh well" type of attitude and said well i hope u eat here again. Why on earth would i do that this is the second time theyve done this with my to go order. Not to mention i had to ask for forks and napkins. So is it not.common sense yo already put that in the bag with to go orders. Food is ok but customer service is a nighmare.!
Very prompt service and delicious food gluten free pasta
Large portions and conversations. No lasagna this evening.
Good food, fair pricing except desserts..
Great chef, excellent service.
Excellent food, long wait to be seated. It is Christmas season so we expected a wait. We will go there again !
Ate a late lunch here today. It was absolutely wonderful. Service was great, food was fantastic, and the bathroom was very clean. I will definitely be back.
Excellent local place. Very good food and great service. Best italian food i have had in huntersville.
Friendly Italian restaurant in Huntersville. Small crowded space and quite noisy at lunch and dinner. Had Italian meatball sandwich for lunch. It was very bland. Was served with tasteless French fries. Been here twice and not impressed. Service is slow at lunch and dinner. Spaghetti dishes are nothing out of ordinary.
love the place love the people very friendly great advice on food I feel bad for people who had a bad experience but they should talk to the owner instead of being so negative :( I make the restaurant one of favourite :)
Really good Italian food. Priced fairly inexpensively. I will definitely be back.
This is a gem of an authentic Italian restaurant. From the moment you walk in the door til the time you leave you will never be disappointed. The food is phenomenal to say the least and doling out food compliments isn't one that I give very often. The food is constantly good. Whether it be from the day they opened to months later your food will be just as tasty, flavorful, and plentiful. Great place for families, date night, girls night or just by yourself. I promise you will NOT be disappointed! Great food, great atmosphere, AMAZING STAFF!!!
Great I recommend highly
Amazing food! Calamari cooked to perfection (not greasy at all). Salmon was outstanding. Only thing needed would be better Italian bread. Cannot wait to go back.
Veal saltimbocca was excellent! Been here a few times will go back, service is excellent as well. Always busy here no reservations so plan for a wait on weekends.
Had lunch at Antico. Reasonable sized portions for the price. Great service from Steven. Food taste was DELICIOUS! My husband had pollo picata (veggies instead of pasta, $3 upcharge) & I had tilapia al forno (veggies but no pasta). Of course we each had a glass of wine. Can't wait for our next date!!!
Food was excellent! Server was friendly and kept us happy with anything we needed.
Unassuming restaurant. You would think outside that this was a small pizza joint. What a pleasant surprise to find a high quality Italian restaurant. Great food great atmosphere
Fantastic keto-friendly dinner and wonderful service! We'll be back!
Delicious, authentic Italian food. First time here was clean, good service, and fresh hot pasta!! My husband and I loved it that we will be back shortly.
I've been here twice both times to celebrate my birthday and it has been excellent both times! I have gotten the Penne Alla Vodka and you must absolutely try the Limoncello cake for dessert, it's delicious!
We must have gone on the nicest evening of the year. The temperature and breeze was perfect for sitting in their back patio overlooking the fountain and pond. Our food was perfectly prepared. The seafood special was packed with flavor and the lobster and oysters were cooked perfectly. The linguine pasta had just the right amount of bite. The lemon white wine sauce was delicious on the crab-stuffed-shrimp and the angel hair and vegetables were perfect and delicious. The Sauvignon Blanc we had with our dinner was so refreshing and a perfect pairing. I almost don't want to recommend this place since we want it all to ourselves. So authentic. Loved it!
Always a pleasure going here.
Best Italian Restaurant around! I'm in Mooresville this place is definitely worth the trip if your looking for a clean place with great food at reasonable prices..
Buyer beware, We came early with he kids to meet a group of friends table of 8. Was told it was reserved. I explained that I believe it was reserved by our friend. From that point on the night became a nightmare. I was questioned like a was making it up had to prove i know the friend that made the reservation. Then when we ordered food both my husband and I asked for sauce on the side. We where told no problem. Server brought us over the way the menu had it we where both told that the Chef insisted we have it his way. That the food tasted best the way it was intended. We both sent back. Truly the worst experience in restaurants we have had. Just say sorry we can't accommodate you or can you choose something else. But we waited 40 minutes to be told how to eat. Then if things couldn't get worse the bus boy starts questioning who made reservation. So this meant the hostess or manager (lady in her 50s) had been discussing my group for the entire meal. I didn't eat. My husband received back his meal as asked 10 mins later. Keep in mind the other 6 in the group where almost done. Truly very immature staff. Lacked class and common customer service skills.
Excellent food. Good prices. Great customer service.
Fabulous food & excellent service! Will definitely return :)
A touch of little Italy. I'm from N.Y. the food is always great the service and the music just a over all good experience.
Awesome food, but the place is small and only has 15 or so tables. Parties greater than 4 are hard to seat. Wait times are long during dinner time most days of the week.
Excellent Italian food and desserts. There menu is not huge but can be easily customized for you dietary needs. Everything on their menu they do exceptionally well.
chicken Alfredo is delicious. Sea food is good too good food.
Food was outstanding, there was a 45 minute wait and others waited over an hour. Pricing was within the realm of reasonable due to amount of food and quality.
I have yet to find a dish on the menu that isn't delicious
Awesome place....nine of us for pre- Christmas get-together!
Ate lunch here while in town from MN. Great food and service.
This place is amazing. Great American Italian food. Try the tomato basil bisque it's ridiculously good.
Best authentic Italian in the area and Daniella is so awesome! They've expanded the patio and it is very pleasant next to the fountain to enjoy great food and a nice glass of wine.
Pretty good eggplant parm, will go back again to try more of the menu
This place is AMAZING, from the food to the service everything is spot on and wonderful HIGHLY Recommend !!
Always great food and excellent service.
Love this place. Foods always delicious and service is good.
The food and service was a.w.e.s.o.m.e.!
We went there for the first time to try it but the 45 mins. wait was too much when you're hungry so, we decided to come back another Friday night. It was the same wait time. It's not that crowded but we soon found out why. The place is utterly small. We've always wanted to find a great authentic Italian restaurant so we were hoping this was it. Unfortunately, it wasn't for us. The food is fairly good. A little on the expensive side for the portion of a pasta meal. But it was worth a try. However, it didn't make it to our favorite go-to restaurant.
Everybody is very friendly and the food is great. Have yet to be disappointed with any meal I have tried here.
OMG if you can get in this place try it best Italian food I had in a long time straight from Italy great service and great food there deserts are delicious
We have been here a few times now for lunch and have yet to be disappointed. The food has always been excellent and the staff friendly and upbeat. This is a great find and we will continue to return
The entire family can always count on a delicious meal. A family favorite
Great small Italian restaurant I often forget about it but I'm very happy when I go back there. The food and service are always been. Definitely keep it on your list of upscale restaurants in Huntersville.
What ever you try, it's cooked to perfection. I love the veal. It is tender to use a fork n very little knife work. Wait stage stellar. Chef's are amazing with their skill sets and knowledge of food. Can't go wrong eating in or take out.
I was in with a party of 5 on a Friday evening. Our time there was excellent. The food and service was first class. The best Italian restaurant I've ever eaten at. Kudos to the chef! We will definitely be back. Thank you Alyssa and Courtney.
Ordered the Chicken Alfredo and Pollo Picatta. The Chicken Alfredo had a very milky and almost synthetic feeling and taste to it. The grilled chicken was very dry. Brought home the left overs for my husband and he said it was the worst he ever had and very greasy. The Pollo Picatta was smothered in a wine and lemon liquid that didn't have time to reduce and blend. The pasta looked like noodle soup. This is one of my favorite Italian dishes and this has been the worst place I've ever eaten it at. The waiter was very nice as well as the hostess which is why I'm rating it a 3. The restaurant is very clean and inviting. It's a shame the food wasn't to par.
Always an excellent meal.
It was the most delicious meal ever! Served very quick and it was hot. Service was Excellent! Definitely recommend this place.
three visits. two were 5 star and the last was 4 star. They seemed a little out of sorts one Saturday night but I will be back.
Fantastic find in Huntersville, would recommend to everyone... small seating area thou.. a bit of a wait! well worth it...
Everything's yummy. Well priced and served generously.
Excellent Northern Italian Cuisine Great Service.
Nice and tasty, wife was ☹ price.
The server during the day is amazing. If this place was any more friendly id think it was family. While there service is impressive, the food is the real gem here. Everything I have eaten here has made me feel like i have memories of Italy, never-mind the fact I've never been. If you go try the special (whatever it may be) trust me, you will love it!
Been 3 times, each made us want to return so we will!
I came in at 3pm by myself. No other patrons around. The music was playing an inviting jazzy something. Workers were eating their lunch. I was greeted in a friendly manner and seated. At first I was told it was dinner menu only, then the person decided to offer me the lunch special of the day. Porto Bella mushroom stuffed ravioli in pink cream sauce. Sounded great so I agreed. Umbrella umbrella, delicious. Hot creamy fresh! I will be back again and again. My kind of place.
Best Italian food in the Huntersville area. Has a wonderful family feel. The owners are amazing and the staff is terrific. Extremely clean.
Awesome food fantastic service
Love thos place great food nice peiple good service
This is absolutely the best Italian restaurant I have ever eaten at. It's hard to find good pesto, but these folks nailed it! The beer menu is a little weak, but the wine list (probably what you should be drinking with Italian food) is spot on. Don't make the mistake of judging this book by its cover. I was impressed with the atmosphere and how nice the inside actually was despite what I think is a bit of an odd location for this gem. It will be busy, and you may have to wait, but its completely worth it. They serve drinks and snacks while you wait, and the staff and service is amazing. A little pricey, but you get every bit if not more than what you pay for. Great spot for a date night or semi special occasion.
We had the most amazing time! The service was outstanding! The food was amazing! The inside of the restaurant was very aesthetically pleasing. They even had some Frank Sinatra playing over the speakers.
Don’t take reservations!
Went in for lunch and it was fabulous. Good size for lunch. Not too big, just enough. Will definitely go back for dinner!
Service always on point. Food is always excellent. Even their water is crisp and refreshing!
Great place, fantastic service
Was great when first opened, but must have changed chefs. Really went downhill. Food is now just mediocre.
Very noisy and small. Feels cramped. After waiting 50 minutes for a table they led us to a small table surrounded by larger tables where customers and wait staff would be passing by around us. Very disappointed. Didn't stay.
I have high standards for Italian food coming from NY but this place hits the mark. Great food, friendly staff/owners and absolutely spotless!
Always great food and service. If you love italian food, this is a must to try!
Quaint Italian Restaurant. Owners are from New York so they know what Italian food and drink means. Awesome, friendly staff and excellent food. Save room for dessert!
The decor, the music and the ambiance were excellent. The wait staff also did an excellent job. Shrimp scampi is one of my favorite dishes and I usually order it when it is on the menu. Given the many times and many places I have enjoyed shrimp scampi, I have a pretty good idea of how it is supposed to look and taste. Shrimp scampi, in my experience, features a number of succulent shrimp sauteed in a lemon butter garlic sauce and served over angel hair pasta. Antico's version, unfortunately, is not even close. Their version was four dry broiled shrimp served atop a bed of dry LINGUINI. I questioned the fact that there were only four shrimp and the man who brought my dish (who was the greeter at the door, not my server) laughingly said yes and walked off. Bad decision on my part to eat the tasteless "whatever" and pay for it. It will not happen again.
The best calamari I’ve had in quite some time and everyone at my table had something different, but oh man everyone definitely enjoyed their meals. The service was amazing even sitting out on the patio.
After reading amazing reviews, we decided to give this place a try. The atmosphere is beautiful here which was a plus. We did have a short (15-20 minute) wait to get seated. The antipasta appetizer was very good. For our mains we got penne ala vodka and the giant meatball with spaghetti (spaghetti cacio e pepe). The penne ala vodka was good, but they put ham in the sauce so that may not be for everyone. I would recommend it though. The waitress recommended the meatball dish, but I wouldn't recommend unless you really like meatballs (it's huge). Lastly, I felt this was expensive for the types of dishes we ordered. Overall, we had a good experience and I can understand the good reviews, but I think there are better options in the area at a better price!
Best Chicken Marsala I have ever had.
Great food very affordable
My wife and I have been there a few times now and the food is excellent! Very consistent every time we've been. Would definitely recommend!
Great food great service
It’s ok for a relaxed dinner.
Yup - five stars! My wife and I stopped in for lunch while in the area. I generally expect less from restaurants in larger, cookie-cutter shopping centers but Antico was a great choice and gladly discredited my stereotypes. My wife and I visited Antico for lunch and were greeted with a basket of warm bread. I ordered Tilapia al Forno, my wife ordered Pollo Cacciatore. Both were perfectly cooked, served with colorful vegetables. The sauces were great and full of flavor and I’d highly recommended both. The staff was equally stellar, offering quick and attentive service.
One of my favorite restaurants for seafood.
When we saw this restaurant had a 4.6 we had high hopes, however, we were severely disappointed. The staff were very friendly, and the bruschetta was yummy. But, the entrées were a huge disappointment. The veal saltibocca (veal in lemon sauce) was obviously frozen and the sauce tasted like it was straight lemon. The shrimp penne-a-la vodka did not taste like a vodka sauce and only had 4 shrimp for $22. The food was the quality of an olive garden but twice as expensive and with less variety.
