My recent experience at Anthony’s Ristorante and Ballroom was absolutely delightful, combining exquisite dining with a breathtaking venue that’s perfect for any special occasion.

Ambiance & Venue: From the moment I walked through the doors, I was struck by the elegance and charm of the place. The decor is sophisticated yet inviting, with beautiful chandeliers, tasteful artwork, and a warm color palette that creates an atmosphere of refined comfort. The ballroom is stunning, with high ceilings, ample space, and an overall grandeur that makes it the perfect setting for weddings, parties, or any large event.

Dining Experience: The food at Anthony’s is simply outstanding. The menu offers a wide range of Italian dishes, each prepared with the freshest ingredients and cooked to perfection. I started with the bruschetta, which was a perfect blend of fresh tomatoes, basil, and a hint of garlic on crispy bread. For the main course, I had the Chicken Parmigiana, and it was everything you’d hope for—tender, juicy chicken with a crispy coating, topped with rich marinara sauce and just the right amount of melted mozzarella.

The pasta dishes are also to die for; I tried the Fettuccine Alfredo, and it was creamy, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The portion sizes are generous, and you can tell that each dish is made with care and attention to detail.

Service: The service at Anthony’s is top-notch. The staff is professional, courteous, and attentive, ensuring that every aspect of the meal and event is seamless. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, offering excellent recommendations and making sure our glasses were always full. The pacing of the meal was just right, allowing us to enjoy each course without feeling rushed.

Event Hosting: If you’re considering hosting an event at Anthony’s Ballroom, you won’t be disappointed. The event coordinators are incredibly organized and accommodating, making the planning process stress-free and enjoyable. The ballroom can be customized to suit any theme or style, and the staff goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect.

Overall Experience: Anthony’s Ristorante and Ballroom offers a combination of exceptional food, a beautiful venue, and impeccable service that is hard to beat. Whether you’re coming for a casual dinner or planning a special event, this place delivers on all fronts. The ambiance is both elegant and welcoming, the food is authentic and delicious, and the service is consistently excellent.

I highly recommend Anthony’s for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience or a stunning venue for their next event. I will definitely be returning for future meals and occasions!

The tip culture just jumped the shark at this place. Was looking for a place to have an event and saw this on their website. If you google service charge meaning, it's in lieu of a tip, since it's a large group, longer hours, setup; they don't want their staff to get over looked. The website states the 20% charge is not a tip, and tips are not required but welcomed because they work hard. Cancelled this place!!!

From the website:
Final bills are subject to a 20% – Service Charge and 6% – Pennsylvania Sales Tax. Service Charge is NOT gratuity. A tip is not required as part of your total due, our staff is paid at a higher rate and not a minimum wage. Although tips are not required, they are greatly appreciated by our hard working staff.

UPDATE: I called around to different locations that included a 20% service fee. I asked if this was the tip, and they said yes. So I booked with one of them.

Marco manager was so rude to us. He has NO customer service skills. He brought us out sandwich which was supposed to be toasted but was not. Asked if we could have it toasted. With a terrible attitude he took it back. 20 minutes later no sandwich. Asked to speak to manager and Marco showed up again. He said that he was the owner and they were still putting toast on sandwich. We left .we will never go back.. he might of been the worst manager/owner I have ever seen. Absolutely terrible!!!!!

Had the opportunity to try out Anthony’s Ristorante and it did not disappoint. Honestly as soon as I walked through the front doors I felt at home. The hostess was incredibly nice! Such pleasant and welcoming people working there. The food was amazing! I recommend the 1 dozen oysters for appetizers, but don’t get too stuffed since the serving size will stuff you!! I recommend the Veal Chop! Delicious!! Another recommendation is the Veal or Chicken Parmigiana!! Winner!! Save room for dessert and get their famous Cannoli that’s made in house!!

Arranged our Mom's Funeral Luncheon here. Pricing was fair and the choices for the Buffet Lunch we were very happy with. From the time we arrived, our guests were shown back to the ballroom. Room was set up very nice and everything went smoothly. Food was delicious and bar service spot on.

It’s one of those over priced places that hopes you’ve never had real Italian food. If you have a remotely genuine worldly palate you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about. We had four adults and a young child. The bread was decent, a good portion but served with room temperature plastic wrapped butter. The mussels were very good, not too salty, reasonably priced and a good amount. That was the pinnacle of the meal unfortunately. The shrimp cocktail had four huge shrimp but was served in a clumsy, awkward martini dish with store cocktail sauce: mildly disappointing for that premium. I got to try my girlfriend’s lobster ravioli. It was ok but nothing unique or memorable. The real travesty was the $42 14oz sirloin steak. I asked for medium rare and got medium well. The amount of gristle on it was appalling, more fitting for bushwhacking cattle in west Texas. The sauce was truly the smack in the face: store bought packet powdered gravy mixed with a handful of raw corn starch smothered in full length raw onions. The side pasta was two mouthfuls of the blandest, pink nothing sauce. No attempt to make it special or complimentary. There’s no way around it: bland and gross, especially for that price. It’s close by and had great reviews. I just wonder why.

Excellent service and dining experience for a bridal shower luncheon. The hot buffet lunch featured ziti, chicken parm, caesar salad and grilled veggies. Everything was delicious, and the table service was attentive and gracious. Their open bar and coffee stations were also top notch. There was plenty of onsite parking even though multiple events were happening.
