    Very nice place. Heard about it from a friend and checked it out today for lunch. They open at 11am so we were the only ones in their at first. The place has a very nice atmosphere. The staff was polite and friendly. We got the veal Antonio and a chicken parmigiana. Both were very good. They have different sized portions for the lunch and dinner menus. These were perfect size for a lunch. I assume the portions are larger on the dinner menu as the prices go up at dinner. The place started getting more guests and multiple tables came in shortly before we left. Didn't check out the wine menu as it was early but they looked to have an ample supply and variety. Would definitely go back anytime for lunch or check out for dinner.

    Perfect restaurant for some good Italian eats and drinks. Initially, nobody came over to take our order but someone (I think a manager) came over and saw we hadn’t been served yet and took our order, brought us drinks, etc. Everyone was very nice and the food was delicious. Good environment too. Clean and welcoming. We will definitely be back!

    Recently visited my brother in Yardley and we stopped here for lunch. The place is roomy, clean, the food menu is extensive and our server Amari (sorry if I spelled your name wrong) was so personable, friendly and accommodating. Our food was delicious! My brother had the gnocchi foley and I had the chicken cutlet Italiano. My sweet potato fries were some of the best I ever had. They were served hot, crisp and oh so very good. My chicken cutlet sandwich was delicious and the gnocchi was beyond good. My compliments to the person or persons who made our meal. It was delicious and I look forward to a return trip I was in Yardley, visiting my brother and he ordered an antipasto and a Brooklyn thin square pizza. I usually don't take photos after I start eating, but I have to say, one of the best tasting pizzas I have had and the antipasto was filled with meats and cheese and really good. Looking forward to visiting and ordering again.

    We arrived at 5:15 on Thursday....before the "dinner" crowd. The bar was packed! But we were going for a nice, romantic Italian dinner...not the exuberance of the bar...a quiet, intimate table. We were not disappointed! Not on any count! Space between the tables. Attentive wait staff. Music playing in the background. Excellent service coupled with excellent food (the veal marsala and the fettuccine alfredo) served with freshly baked bread and Caeser salad...with a wonderful house Chianti...made for a very romantic evening. And quite reasonably priced! A win/win!

    I have been buying Cafe Antonio pizzas for over 10 year and today I purchased one of the worst ever. The topping was too wet and slid all over the under cooked crust. I never got a pizza like this from them. Yuck

    Excellent food, excellent service. I’d definitely recommend getting Thai calamari. It was really good.

    Return visit was even better than the first! Very nice casual Italian dining room. Server Louis was attentive and accomodating. Bread and drinks were quick. We had the mussels which were very tasty and the sauce makes a great dip. All 4 dishes were terrific. The veal was great and my grilled salmon was fantastic. The had a lot of specials as well. This place is everything you want in a local restaurant. Another trip back here was great! So consistently good...Italian classics are awesome

    My first encounter with Antonio's was way back circa 2008 when I first moved into Mo-ville. I cannot recall the dish, but I distinctly remember I walked away thinking it was overpriced for the quality and quantity. I was recently lured back, due to my neighbor who enjoys the bar. I have to say, almost 15 years later and my opinion hasn't changed, but this time I have vivid memories to document what happened and why I feel this way. The first time back after over a decade I was at the bar during happy hour. They had nachos on the bar HH menu, decently priced too. Well, what came out was NOT nachos. But rather, a soggy pile of nacho chips drowned in queso cheese sauce. I was disappointed because I was expecting chips with lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, salsa. NOPE, queso over soggy chips! IF they would have just said, it's queso over chips, I would have been A-OK with it, but asked for my cheese on the side... like a normal side of chips and cheesy dip... not a congealed pile of cheese and wet nachos. But, hey, ok, it was a HH "special," no big right? Next visit, I was again at the bar, but this time over the weekend with a full menu. I decided to start with an appetizer, fried ricecini balls "stuffed" with meat, peas, and sauce. Well well, let me tell you about this $9 app! Three balls slightly larger than golf balls came out. They were fried to a golden brown, OK. But then I CUT into one! My first ball had a lone, single pea, and barely a dribble of sauce. It's almost as if they tried to short me on the "stuffing" like they used tweezers to place a si ngle lonely pea in there and needed an eye dropper to inject a drop of sauce for color... Oh and what about the meat you ask... It was blended into the sauce. I've seen more meat blended into sauce from a can of Ragu meat sauce. On the last Ricecini ball, we had the fortune of not one, not two, but THREE peas! In order to keep it fair, my girlfriend and I cut the third pea in HALF so we could have equal peas for dinner! Well, that halted the rest of my dinner order. I checked out. Was unpleasently suprised to find out the weakly poured Jim Beam was $7. Suffice to say, when I come back to hang with my neighbor, I'll never order food, nurse a single beer and leave. I'm honestly offended they have the audacity to serve the outrageously skimpy and poor quality food for those prices. The amount of rice they sold me for $9 literally cost less than free peanuts you get at other bars. I'm not sure why this place has a 4.5 star review. I suspect they are buying reviews. Just look at the food pics here, they are very ordinary and bland looking, certainly not anything highline like the store front and decor imply. They are trying too hard to look good without working hard to be good. Daceys, Doms in Wash Crossing, Issac Newtons, Hulmville inn, etc, have far superior food for the price.

    5 stars across the board. First visit since the pandemic. Remodeled with plenty of seating options and bar area. Separate take-out section. Welcoming and friendly staff. Good selection of craft Beer. They even have Powers Three Swallows Irish Whiskey. FAVORITE I had the Italian Hoagie, the bread is really good! Surface parking lot can be tough to navigate, but worth the visit. Will be returning.

  • 1/5 Shyy S. 2 years ago on Google
    This place has really falling off… I just order a Cheesesteak and shrimp scampi… my cheesesteak was half the size it usually is (I didn’t complain) my complaint was that my shrimp scampi wasn’t made/Seasoned properly it had no herbs nor does is barley have sauce (leaving it Dry), now when I called and asked for a refund or store credit they made it an issue telling me I need to bring the food back I told them it was delivery, but long story short I went back and forth with the girl answering the phone while she had to keep her asking the boss… at the end they told me they couldn’t give me a refund without the pasta that’s the policy which I told her that’s not the policy because I have refund from their before as store credit. She asked if I wanted the boss I told her yes when she came back to the phone she told me the boss is now in an important meeting smh. So now I’m waiting for the boss to get out his important meeting so I can get my refund

    Everything from appetizers to salads to entrees and dessert were extremely good. First time there and plan to return.

    My husband and I love Cafe Antonio’s, but we were there this evening for dinner and the Eagles game was on. There were some very loud men in the bar watching the game who were cursing and screaming every time something would happen. I thought it was an odd choice to watch the game at a restaurant instead of at home or in a sports bar. However, I figured that the staff didn’t feel comfortable reprimanding the patrons, and I understood that. The server was excellent, the food was delicious as usual. We were leaving right as the game ended and we realized that the person screaming at the game the whole time was the BARTENDER. There were a few other patrons making noise, but it was the actual employee at a family restaurant saying “let’s f-ing go!” And “oh s***, oh s***!!!) the whole time. There were children at one of the tables and the parents looked very uncomfortable. Not sure who is allowing the bartender to behave like this, but they should reconsider.

    Classic Italian bistro that we'll revisit. Love the wide variety of foods that they serve. Every meal comes with a salad and bread. We thought the rigatoni bolognese and the classic fried mozzarella was as good as any place we've had it. My husband was more luke warm on his chicken parmesan, though I thought it was very good. Service was more challenging. Our waiter seemed overwhelmed and every time we had someone check on something, it came out almost less than 30 seconds later, meaning they either have the worlds best quick strike team or our meals were sitting there. Either way, we'll look forward to testing whether or food experience improves.

    Cafe Antonio never disappoints. We've eaten here many times and always have a great meal. The hostess managed to find us a table even though they were packed and we didn't have reservations. Our server Markette was stellar. He was friendly, efficient and checked with us often. Everything we ordered was fantastic. Broccoli rabe with white beans and sausage, Ricecini (rice balls), Clams Casino, sweet potato fries and Veal Antonio. As always, we'll be back.

  • 5/5 Josue F. 10 months ago on Google
    When my friend and I entered the restaurant and just helped open the door for a group after us because someone was using a walker. However, the host basically tried to seat them first even though my colleague requested to be seated first. We just looked at each other immediately knowing why he did that. One person in the other group just said that it would take them a minute before needing to be seated. Besides that, everything was very good for us.

    I come here almost everyday for lunch because it’s right across the bridge from my work. Love the pizza, especially the sicilian, and the greek salad. They add sweet peppers to it and it just adds so much flavor. Portions are really good, too.

    If you like Eggplant Parm, this is a must try. In my opinion it is the best I have ever had.

  • 5/5 Kathy H. 1 year ago on Google
    First time customer, but we will be back! Ten of us celebrated after my son's high school graduation ceremony last night. The food was delicious, service was excellent, and the atmosphere, perfect for the occasion. In addition, they went above and beyond by placing balloons and decorations that I had dropped off earlier in the day on our beautifully set table. Thank you Antonio's for making the occasion a special time for my son and family!

    The food menu is huge. I can't speak for the bar side of things. I go there for lunch weekly and it's good and fast, and the people are nice. Seating is limited but we make do usually. The staff will bring it to the table if you order in, but you need to order and pay at the counter and then sit down. I can say that I haven't had anything bad there. It's usually average or above average food though.

  • 5/5 Aron G. 1 year ago on Google
    Real Italian food. Worthy of being in Philly in terms of quality. A classical Italian restaurant ambiance, with attentive service. I found the prices reasonable as well (though my friends brought a bottle of wine with a $15 corkage fee that felt high).

    Beautiful setup, amazing bread & butter Always dream about that seafood bruschetta. Tried the capresi salad & loved it

  • 5/5 Tapia B. 2 years ago on Google
    Love this place been around for years parking not so good but now that the shop is gone I think there's more room. I'm not sure because I hardly eat there. I always have it delivered or take out because of the parking and it's too small inside for me, before COVID came! but it's a nice place everything I've eaten from there it's always good the lunch special dinner specials you love it
