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.“

“The food was really good , we were seated right away, the waitress was prompt and on top of everything,my steak was just slightly over seasoned but other then that the amount of food was huge like normal,and tasted great. Prices seemed a bit high I was taken back on that part.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“
