Antonella's Italian Ristorante

I want to start by saying the staff was so friendly and very attentive, as well they have a beautiful atmosphere. We had the eggplant rollatini, and penne toscana and I must say it is the best dinner we ever had! Authentic Italian flavors and very fresh ingredients. We also love that they are a family owned business and it translates to the rest of the staff. We definitely will be back and we are excited that they offer so many different vegan options.

My husband and I had a great meal at the bar last night. Francesca took good care of us. Our first time here so we had some classic Italian dishes. The meat sauce is AMAZING. Good, fresh salads and the Italian dressing is quite tasty as well. Good cocktail menu and atmosphere is very classy. We will be back!

I went to celebrate my birthday and ordered mussels with white wine sauce, eggplant Parmesan with a salad, shrimp Alfredo with penne and green beans, fruti di mare pasta with corn chowder. The cocktail was good, eggplant parm good and portions were decent. The mussels in the appetizer and main dish were not prepped properly and I kept having to remove the beard. Also, the waitress completely forgot my daughter’s green beans that she requested as her side.

A truly beautiful restaurant, typical of an Italian restaurant found on the lakeside, with truly courteous and professional staff.
The fried calamari was very tasty, dry, and crispy.
The pasta was also excellent, al dente as tradition demands.
The desserts were spectacular; I had a tiramisu, and it felt like home.
The espresso was the icing on the cake.
If you're in the area, you must try it.
A special thanks to Sophia, our waitress.

Well, the meatballs were great. The rest of the food was okay, but not great. Most of the patrons were eating pasta dishes, but I ordered fish and it was fair to midland. My mother ordered the grouper and she was very pleased. The location is great if you just want to hang out downtown and enjoy an evening of people watching.

After living in Italy for 15 years as an embassy attaché', I am a connoisseur of true Italian food, which is mainly regional. I was traveling through Fayetteville, and I was told that Antonella is the only authentic Italian restaurant in town. I don't know what the level of knowledge about Italian food of these folks is... I am sure a -20. First of all, nothing on the menu is Italian. Italian-American, perhaps, but not Italian. The place is so small and cluttered, almost as if they stuck as many tables as they could to make more money, the heck with customers feeling crowded. Service is average, but the staff has no clue as to what Italian food is, as well, and lied about menu items being made from scratch. I was sat near the kitchen, and I could hear the microwave chirping. That's when I asked for the check and left.

Amazing says it all.

Mangia bene, ridi spesso, ama molto — and at Antonella’s, you’ll do all three! The service was bellissimo from start to finish, and I even had the chance to chat with the owner — let’s just say she’s as deliziosa to look at as the food is to eat.

I went for the lasagna, and mamma mia, it was layered with amore and flavor. Every bite felt like a little Roman holiday on a fork. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and sprinkled with Italian charm — it’s the kind of place where you feel like family, even on your first visit.

If you’re looking for food that’s pasta-tively amazing and an experience that’s amore at first bite, Antonella’s is the place to be. 🍝🇮🇹
