Truly delicious. Great service. A bit loud if there are loud people. One of the best.

They have been in Key West a long time but seem to have lost the hospitality Gene. The host was unfriendly. Our server was very nice but once we ordered he was not to the table until dessert. Never checked on us. On a busy Saturday night they were out of lasagna, a signature dish, at 7:30. How does that happen? Too noisy to talk to those at your table without shouting.
What a wonderful restaurant right on Duval St!! So beautifully decorated, not too big, NOT too noisy ( important to me with hearing issues) Everything we ordered was delicious and service was superb. I highly recommend!!

Amazing! The food was fantastic. The atmosphere was great and the people were very friendly. We had the antipasto to start. We each had a different homemade pasta. We finished with the Key lime pie. We were impressed. When we come back we will eat here again

First may I say that the location and ambiance of this restaurant is perfect. My husband and I have dined here before and it was wonderful. We were excited to bring some friends her for our annual vacation and planned on making this our regular Sunday night out. However after our experience on March 3rd this will be last time I frequent this restaurant. Our server ws Robbie P, he is the most insulting and rude server I have ever experienced. He was so insulting we left before our entree was served because of his attitude and lack of manners. I did attempt to speak to the manager and was shocked that Robbie was the supposed manager, since this is the second review posted in the past six months warning prospective diners of the treatment they may receive at this restaurant they are better suited spending their time and money at a different establishment.

Key west classic and a better option should you want a duval restaurant. It is classy and has a zest of Italy... good menu and flavors. Service was nice, not rushed, not too loud.... We have been going for years and will continue.

We've loved coming to Antonia's for years. The food is always excellent and we love the ambiance. I used to bring wine from my home cellar but last year they raised the corkage fee to $50 so I stopped doing that. Seemed very high especially since they have bottles for less than that. At my visit last night I was starting to pay with cash and my wife said to me why don't I charge it and get the points. So I charged it and the slip to sign came back different than the one I was presented because of a 2.5% credit card charging fee. I absolutely should have been told of this fee before I made the decision to hand over my card and charge it.

Antonia's was a pleasant surprise as we received a gift certificate. Outside, it is busy Duval. Inside, a dark, intimate vibe. Martini's on points Escargot was delicious. We tried the lobster Caesar which had amazing homemade dressing. We shared the spicy shrimp and fettuccine bolognaise. Pasta was so fresh and perfect. Highly recommend!

Requested the front window table and got it! The food is amazing. Extensive wine list that the waiter helped navigate. We ended up selecting an excellent Italian red we knew nothing about but from the waiters description it was perfect! Hubby got the Linguini and Shrimp and subbed a cream sauce instead of the marinara. Again, the waiter said No problem. I had the Lasagna which I had been dreaming about from last year. It's that good! A great evening all around!
We dined at the bar and we enjoyed the experience. The bartender made us feel welcomed and was very helpful in helping to make menu selections. We were not rushed and enjoyed thoroughly enjoyed our meal.
We lucked out and were able to sit at the bar with Nicole, very personable and efficient, as well as the maker of excellent drinks. We shared the escargot, a first here, and we would return just for that alone. Tender, well seasoned with a great sauce (read not drowning in butter or oil). We had the seafood linguini and the pasta with mushroom, peas and pancetta. Both were delicious and the pasta in both was Al dente and each piece of shellfish was perfectly cooked. But, we way over ordered and could have just shared the seafood linguini as the portion was very large and packed with shellfish. We'll be back next week and will have to try hard to order something else and we so enjoyed our meal.

The escargot and salads were the perfect starters. Bronzino, seafood linguine in the pink sauce were delicious and the key lime pie couldn't have been better. The only disappointment was the $4 charge for bread service; I feel this should be a standard offering, especially at the price point. Definitely visit when in Key West.....and you don't want a touristy, bar-food experience.
Overall the restaurant is quite good, although the atmosphere seemed rushed. Even before we finished our salads we were asked three times for our dinner order. Luckily for us we waited because the order arrived very quickly. Food was excellent and choices were varied and interesting. We have been here on prior visits and found the “new” atmosphere lacking.

Wonderful food and service, as usual...however the noise level isn't accommodating to hearing, speech or brain injury challenges...it's not a romantic space, either...and we should have made other arrangements. We requested a quiet area but weren't advised ahead of time that we couldn't be accommodated. Too bad.

Lovely dinner here for two classic italian fare, white cloth fine dining, that's rare and special. We sat next to a couple celebrating a 65th birthday, and said it was their date spot for the last 20 years... and they lived in tampa.Osso buco, burrata, zuppa di pesce, seafood linguini, all well appointed. Italian, California focused wine list, but reasonable and paired well.Key west vibe blends in, with a quality you'd expect in a major metro like nyc or chicago.
