Can a 20+ year old restaurant be considered a hidden gem? I have no idea, but every time I'm in the neighborhood I'll stop by for a sandwich or dinner. This past week I couldn't believe how quiet it was at 2pm. This place should've been packed! I've been going there for over ten years now and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon. Italian food is always fresh, and their sauce rivals what you might find in the North End. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and check them out!

As an Italian New Yorker, who came up here for a visit, I was very disappointed in the quality of the food. The pasta was definitely not homemade, and the mushrooms came from a can. You could just tell from looking at the food that it wasn’t little Italy quality.The service was fantastic though! Our waitress was very attentive and give great service.Wheelchair accessibility: Nonexistent. Small walking areas.

We started with bruchetta. The bread was warm, and the tomatos were nice and fresh, good tasting olive oil rounded it out. Had the veil special, noodles were al dente and everything tasted fresh. Finished off with tiramisu, a hint of alcohol but all the other flavors were well balanced. I haven't tried an Italian resturant since I left Italy in 2010 because I knew I'd be disappointed. I was wrong, eat here leave full and happy. Grazie mille!

The food was incredible but one of our dishes came out wrong the first time, however, as someone that works at a restaurant I understand so that was no big deal for us. They corrected it swiftly and the proper meal was on our table within 4 minutes. Our server was okay, I say that because she wasn't very attentive and I understand it's a busy place but she also spoke to us with food in her mouth on occasion. The food was absolutely incredible, I had the chicken piccata, my sister had the ravioli marinara, and my friend had the gnocchi marinara. This is a great restaurant for kids or picky eaters because everything is customizable, however don't go if you're looking for a quiet restaurant. The new renovations are all beautiful too!
The food is always delicious. The service is amazing. Evelyn, our waitress is always the best. The remodel is nice. My only complaint was the restaurant was crowded and we had probably the worst table in the restaurant.

Wonderful good, generous portions, great price. Antonio's is small and not unnecessarily fancy, and delivers amazing staples of Italian food. As good as the food I've had in the North End without the frenzied tourists.

Very convenient location across from MGH (easy parking there for patients). Both entrees were large and good: a special shrimp in light wine, garlic, marinara sauce with squash; mussels with fish and clams. Disappointed by calamari appetizer that wasn’t very crisp but at least didn’t have peppers.
We love the newly updated decor improvements. Great photography, refined appearance. Service was attentive and gracious. The fried artichokes and calamari could have been crispier, but we still loved them.

The only REAL Italian place in Boston! We need more restaurants like Antonios that focus on the best quality of food instead of instagram. Best chicken picatta ever 12/10. Would eat here everyday for the rest of my life.

Ate here with my husband and two children (10&12) after a day at the Museum of Science. The meal was UH-MAZING, the service was charming and friendly, and it was the best Italian any of us have had in too long. We stumbled in to this place out of sheer dumb luck but will definitely make this a stop again!Kid-friendliness: Friendly and hospitable, would probably not bring small children, as it’s not a large space
