16 Best Italian Restaurants near Antonia

“We ate there for the first time tonight and I can’t say enough great things about this place! We had our son who is a little over 1 with us. Mom and dad just trying to have a date night and the owner and our waitress went above and beyond! The owner was so sweet and generous just making it feel like home and our waitress was so attentive and on top of that the food was absolutely amazing!!! We will definitely be back! ❤️“

“Okay so why does nobody do fast food Italian?

I almost never write fast food reviews but these folks were so friendly and we were so surprised by the value that a review seemed absolutely required, hard plastic benches and all.

Fazoli's was new to me, but they are a chain that seems ubiquitous in the Midwest. They mostly offer Italian style food to go. This is much faster than a traditional Italian experience (and wasn't the food quality we experienced on the hill) but it was definitely good food for an exceptional price. We both ordered spaghetti one with meatballs one with meat sauce, our order came with breadsticks also and the total food cost was less than we paid for our coffee earlier in the morning.

The folks at this specific store overheard the discussion about not having been there before and were exceptionally friendly and engaging.

If you are a local you probably know all about these and likely have strong opinions one way or the other, if you haven't seen this before though you have to give it a try.“

“We were in St Peter’s Mo. and were going to go to Olive Garden for my Wife’s birthday, when I told our clerk at the hotel she said she would recommend the Pasta House over the Olive Garden. We went and had supper. Everything we had was great better than the other place. We took desert back to the room and it was great. I would recommend to anybody.“

“They went out of their way to make a pokeball sandwich for my sons 4th birthday! It turned out amazing!! Thank you so much Pomodoro’s!“

“Beth was the most amazing waitress I've ever had in an establishment! She went above and beyond for everything. I never had to ask for any refills or anything. Very attentive and she actually enjoyed serving us. Such a lovely lady and made our night perfect! Thank you so much for this wonderful experience Beth! I recommend asking for Beth if you come here on weekends!“

“The best pizza I’ve had in the entire St. Louis area. Great food.“

“Got dinner last night with the family, and our waitress Mariah was fantastic! Our 2 little girls just adored her! Of course we got the fried cheese which is always top tier! The pasta was fantastic and my kids both enjoyed their food. It’s always nice to eat somewhere and the staff treat you like family. Will definitely be back another only because the food was good but because the staff is amazing!“

“Great service. Delicious food.“

“This has been my favorite place to have a pizza with family and friends since I was a kid. Their pork sausage and mushroom pizza and bacon ranch salad is worth the 35 minute drive to and from that we now make about once a month. Great pizza, perfect crust and awesome consistency!“

“We recently hosted a bridal shower here by renting a banquet room and everything went great. I love that there is a separate entrance for the room. Eric, the general manager, was amazing every step of the way. He was very clear on the details of the rental along with providing menu details. I also appreciate that they are able to provide celiac-friendly options and vegetarian options. The prices were affordable, and the servers were very attentive to our group. I would definitely recommend renting a room here.“

“I had the best Italian shrimp ever! I shared a few with family and all declared it to be the best ever too! And that’s the truth.“

“Our family loves every visit to Frankie Gianino's. They have excellent staff, great food, and family friendly prices.“

“We stumbled upon one of the most unforgettable pizzas we’ve ever had on this trip. I’ve always been a fan of thick-crust pizza, thinking it was the only way to enjoy real flavor. But this paper-thin crust changed everything—light, incredibly crisp, and full of character in every bite. Huge thanks to the hotel lobby manager who pointed us in the right direction. Sometimes, the best travel memories begin with a simple local recommendation.“

“anytime my friends and family come in from Philly they can't wait to go to Imo's. Try it!“

“I've been eating this pizza since the original in Concord since the 80's and it still taste the same. The best pizza you can buy! Keep up the great work team!“

“When in town from Florida, you have to have Imo’s . They were friendly and fast at this location . Thanks !“
