Antonio Ristorante

All in all your typical Italian restaurant.
Went here for my boyfriend’s work holiday dinner. I would say this place is 2.5 stars.
Service was ok, again i understand it being busy but when you come in with larger party that you booked in advance you’d think they’d make sure there was enough help. Meal started a bit annoyingly as I waited for my white wine quite awhile after everyone else at the table had the red wine that was on the table poured for them. Then I proceeded to wait while everyone else had their drinks brought to them. Even the pop & iced tea.
Appetizers were a burnt and too chewy octopus and oysters rockafellars which were pretty tasty but again nothing to write home about. Minestrone soup was your standard non-​homemade (or at least tastes like it) variety.
My entrée sounded much yummier the way it was described on the specials menu. Peas were mentioned yet I didn’t see them. All there was was a ribeye (over-​cooked) and literally 4 thin potato wedges surrounding the steak on all 4 sides. Not very fulfilling as a protein. Wish that was better explained by the server or on the menu. Dessert was a sampler platter with pana cotta, tiramisu, teeny tiny cannoli and cheesecake.
Again nothing special. Not sure there anything unique or wonderful enough to make me come back again.

We had been there with a large group and now we were back in just a few days with three of us. The service and food were great again, but with a couple of interesting notes.
When there Friday night with the large group we enjoyed the featured bottled Chianti. We ordered a glass of the same. After a discussion halfway through the meal with our server about how we were returning because of our great experience on Friday the server confessed that our «same» wine was not the same. That Chianti was only available by the bottle so she had given us one that was «close, the sister». We appreciated the honesty but we could have been told right away. We are adults and could handle it really.
The second comment we have is that the gelato dessert was too frozen to eat and should not have been offered. That fact could be seen by the server, but was not or it was ignored.
Except for the above two comments would have been a five start instead of a four.

Antonio’s is a welcome addition to the neighborhood. My wife and I ordered pasta. I ordered Penne Bolognese. This is my typical «acid test» when trying an Italian restaurant for the first time. The sauce was excellent with nice pieces of ground sirloin and a delicious savory and somewhat smokey flavor. This is not a just thrown together sauce. It’s obvious that they simmer this sauce for hours. If you are a fan of Bolognese you would do well to give this a try.
My wife ordered bowtie pasta with salmon in a vodka sauce. She enjoyed this as well although I think I had the «winner» of the two dishes. Portions are ample and we both had enough for small meals to take home.
They offer dozens of wines and an extensive selection of Italian wines which is nice to see for a change of pace. They are reasonably priced at $ 6 to $ 10 a glass but you have many more options if you order by the bottle.
This could have been a 4-​star review except for a couple of items. The only areas that were just adequate was the salad that only comes with their house oil & vinegar dressing. (If there were other options, our server didn’t mention them.) I found it just average. Our young female server was pleasant but didn’t tell us that there were was a soup option other then Minestrone (Scarole). She didn’t explain any of the specials either as the male server did to an adjacent table. Not a big deal but the place only had 4 tables occupied and she could have spent a little more time explaining the dining options. Again, not a big deal and it certainly won’t prevent us from coming back.
Finally, although both of our dishes were very good, prices for pasta dishes are just a bit on the high side. There are 3 other Italian restaurants within a 15 minute drive that we frequent and Antonio’s seems to be at the high end.
As I mentioned, this is a welcome addition to the neighborhood. Very good pasta preparations and an interesting wine list are highlights. I’ll be back to try one of their wood-​fired pizzas.

Was there this weekend after a long cold day of early xmas shopping. Walking in i love the ambiance. It’s warm and inviting. The lights were dim which i completely appreciate. I hate bright over head lighting or spot lights on your table that to many places have. Here, The warm glow is relaxing. Food was good. My hubby had the sea bass Mediterranean style. Lots of bones happening though so caution to those who aren’t familiar with being served a full fish. Having The fish prepped in front of you is nice. I had the halibut with the veggies and pesto. Loooved it. Only 2 bones in mine. I’d go back and reorder halibut with the minestrone soup though. It was delicious. Warmed me from my Chicago sub zero chill! I ate so much i didn’t have room for dessert but next time for sure I’ll be sampling it.
I think this would be a fun place to go as a group to. Birthday or just getting the family together for a nice dinner.
Tried the pizza before from here too. It was really good. Even my kids and their friends loved it. Can’t go wrong with it. Actually, I’m so lazy i don’t want to go to the grocery store today, i might just order pizza for pick up for dinner tonight haha ;)

I remember the restaurant that occupied this place beforehand and it was nowhere near as good as it is now. Delicious food, friendly staff, and good ambience. My only complaint is that they say everyone right next to each other instead of spacing people out. Otherwise this is a very good local Italian place and I would come here again.

Love this restaurant! The food is excellent and the staff is friendly. They make their pasta perfect, it is nice and al-​dente. Braciole is amazing and the wood fired pizza is a must. The oysters are some of the best I have ever had, and the baked clams are seasoned perfectly. I have yet to have a dish here that I didn’t like. Highly recommend.

My son and I are always looking for places to try and we decided to give this place a try. For a Monday evening, the place was quite busy. Unfortunately, we did not get our server’s name. We dined last night, and she was absolutely great. Attentive, but not bothersome. She recommended the braciole and it was fork tender. And, I am fussy when it comes to soup. It has to be steaming hot. The minestrone was just that. Pasta is al dente, so it’s a bit «firm» rather than mushy. My son’s chicken dish was excellent. So, all in all, a wonderful experience. Price point is great for the portion size, service is excellent. Restaurant is very clean.

My coworkers and I go out for lunch every week, so when I heard there was a new Italian place with pizza I suggested we head over and try it out.
While the food was great and the place was adorable, one weird thing happened that knocked my review down,
I ordered a pizza and after a while, they brought out a pizza. It looked like the pizza I ordered, so they gave it to us and left. I picked up a slice and cut off a piece for my coworker to try. At this point, the server reappeared and it turned out that that wasn’t the pizza I had ordered, it was brought to the wrong table. That’s fine, it happened. But he had my pizza with him, and when I asked to have the pizza I ordered rather than the one they brought us by mistake, seeing as I had ordered it the way I wanted it and all, they said no, because I had taken the first slice I had «already started it» and couldn’t have the pizza I ordered instead. So customer service here is apparently «If you trust us to get your order right, you don’t get your food if we screw up.» Now the pizza was still good, and it wasn’t THAT different than what I had actually ordered, but that is still a really bad way to treat your customers, I think. We hadn’t even taken a bit of the first piece, and I wasn’t asking to keep BOTH, I just wanted the one I ordered. They apologized, which was nice, but that didn’t change the fact that I still wasn’t allowed to have what I ordered.
In the end, we’ll probably go back, but it will not be soon, and I will definitely be double checking our orders before they’re touched.

The staff was very friendly and on top of thinks. The food was very good and nice size portions. The décor is very warming.

Absolutely outstanding! Was looking forward to a nice Italian meal and decided to give this new place a try and we were sure glad to have done so! The spaghetti bolognese, mushroom risotto, and whitefish dishes were expertly prepared and memorably delicious. Was glad to see the place busy and servers hustling. Can’t wait to go back and try something else!

Delicious!!! Would definitely come back for more! Our waiter was so knowledgable and so friendly with the 10 of us. We had grilled calamari and bruschetta to start. Both amazing! Each of us had different items on the menu and they were all very good. Inside has very nice décor and very clean. If you are looking for a great Italian restaurant with friendly staff, cleanliness, and great Food then this is the place.

This is the old Sergio now with a new owner and some of the same staff, the food was great they even had my fav oso bucco melts in your mouth.
I need to come back and try more.

My family and I went there for dinner tonight and really loved it. Very good food!!! Everything we ordered was delicious. Very friendly and great service! If you like Italian food check this place out! We highly recommend!!!

Antonio continues to prepare and serve the best Italian food in the Chicago burbs. My fav is the breciole with pasta of your choice. My wife always orders the fish special, which she says is always the best. My sons order 7 finger Cavatelli with vodka sauce. They eat their leftovers for breakfast. My wife has her leftover fish for dinner and tells me it is as good as it was the night before. Now thats damn good fish.

Excellent food. Very nice restaurant, nicely decorated. The food was delicious, four different meals and each of us enjoyed ours a lot.
Very good service as well.

Five stars for food. Everything was spot on, seasoned perfectly and presented well. Pastas were Al dente and had good chew. I think our sever was extreme busy because he had our whole section and running all over the place. Off his game a bit. I would recommend this place to all, and I would definitely be back.
