Great drinks, food and friendly staff. My wife and I shared a meal and salad. Kitchen staff separated it on two plates and it was plenty of food for the both of us.
Michael
Great service very good food (I wish I had another shot at my choice). Wine choice was amazing but ended up more pricey than I expected
STEPHEN
Always exception, it's been my favorite restaurant for over 40 years, I think. VERY reasonable prices, I appreciate that.
Jim
The food is incredible. The server was very attentive and made sure everything was good. This was our second dining experience there and we will be back.

Not the experience we were hoping for We came in with reasonable expectations—this isn't fine dining, but we were hoping for a relaxed, enjoyable meal. Unfortunately, we were turned off the moment we walked in. We arrived 5–10 minutes early for our reservation (5:15 PM) and went to the bar to grab a drink while we waited. Instead of a warm welcome, the host told us we "needed to hurry up." Then, at exactly 5:15, he came over to the bar and insisted we be seated immediately. No offer to help carry my wife's full martini to the table, so she had to rush to drink it just to avoid spilling it. That level of service doesn't reflect well on the restaurant. To make matters worse, a large banquet was being held right next to our table, and it was extremely loud. It felt more like being in a noisy event hall than a restaurant where you could enjoy a conversation. There are so many better dining options in Central Florida. Antonio's isn't for us, and we won't be returning.

It's true that you get what you pay for. I had a drink at the bar before dinner. Bartender did not skimp on the liquor. It was a great drink. Fantastic way to start the night. Two of us had the Magical Dining menu and the third ordered off the regular menu. Our waiter was very intensive and helpful. Food was excellent as always. Antonio's is one of my favorite restaurants.

We went for Magical Dining and were not disappointed. The food was amazing and the service was top notch. Our waiter Hugo was friendly and extremely responsive. Highly recommend.

This was our first time to Antonio's Restaurant. We traveled from Lake Nona and they did not disappoint! We had the Lobster Ravioli and it was excellent! We will return again.

We were once again Wowed by our dining experience at Antonio's Upstairs. Their $40 menu has been our best experience yet from the Orlando Magical Dining, even topping a $60 menu at another restaurant. We had fried calamari, Pork Saltimbocca (crispy prosciutto, smoked provolone, portobello mushrooms, Madeira wine gloss) and Short Ribs (bourbon braised black angus short ribs, roasted garlic risotto, and the best - peach braised red cabbage), plus Valentino and Tiramisu for dessert. So delicious, I'll never be able to eat Tiramisu from the grocery store again. All were portions so generous that we have enough for another meal at home. Usually, we eat in the downstairs cafe so it was a real treat to enjoy the homey ambience of the upstairs restaurant. Even though we were seated near the kitchen, the noise level was minimal. This is definitely 'The Place' for a special night out. Service was impeccable. We were neither rushed nor kept waiting the next course. I can't put into words how delightful our evening. You'll have to go and experience it for yourself.
Consistently excellent food and service. Our table this time was right beside the wash station, so very noisy.

We went for Magical Dining on 9/3/25 at 6PM. I've seen the building for years, and thought I'd give it a go. I ordered the Caesar Salad, Pork Saltimbocca, and coconut pie for dessert. The salad was fantastic. The Saltimbocca was drowned in a very heavy and oily gravy/wine reduction, which overpowered everything else on the plate. There were mashed potatoes under the meat, that were very watery. The coconut pie had a very soggy crust. It reminded me of store-bought pie after day two or three of being in the fridge. The whipped cream tasted home made and delicious. If you're planning on going for Magical Dining, the short ribs my dinner partner had were delicious. But his Tiramisu also tasted not-so-fresh. The Calamari appetizer was fine, but bland. So, the food was just okay, but the service and atmosphere were very nice. Our server was the highlight of the meal- she was exceptional. The dining room was also, very nice, if dated.

Food was amazing. The waiter was so attentive and always one step ahead. The magical dining sale toons were great. Love coming here. Everyone needs to come her.
Richard

We spent many a date night and most special occasions enjoying Antonio's upstairs for decades. But due to a number of factors it's been more than 10 years since our last visit. To celebrate our 49th anniversary we wanted to return to a old favorite and I'm happy to say yesterday we experienced the best of Antonio's. The ambiance is updated and the crew was all new to us but even though the team was younger and different it's amazing what hiring the right people who care about guests and training them well can deliver. Food service and friendliness all rate 10+. Thanks Antonio's for a wonderful anniversary lunch.
