    Friday 5pm. Decided to try this place as the owner is a sibling of the owner of another of our favorite pizza places. Unfortunately, that is where the similarities end. While the ambiance in the dining room is nice, there were only 3 two-tops. The two-tops are so tiny that with a pizza and appy, there was no room for plates. Really. One by the front door, one by the kitchen door and one by the entrance way from the lobby to the dining room. The hostess/owner directed us to one of these. There were many other tables available in the dining room. In fact, there was only one other group in the restuarant on one of the two four-tops. There was a ten-top, two eight-tops and two-six-tops. All unoccupied the entire time we were there. Hostess/owner could have easily given my wife and me a four-top. We took our seats at the tiny table near the Vespa and she said she would be right back. 15 minutes later she came back to take our order. (Should have brought two bottles of wine... long wait). We ordered the calamari appetizer and a pizza entre. That was the last we saw of her. About another 15 minutes later the pizza (mushrooms and onions) was served by one of the busers. We told him we had ordered the calamari appetizer. He said it would be coming out soon. ??? A few minutes later the calamari came out. Would have been nice to enjoy the calamari before the pizza, but it didnt really matter because the calamari lacked any flavor. While a nice count, it was just rings, no tenacles (my fav). Looked like the kind you buy in the frozen food section of the supermarket. Pizza was under cooked and rather small in size. Total dissapointment. Thank God for the excellent BYOB of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. We caught the buser's eye and asked for the check. $40 for pathetic pie and supermarket squid. Very disappointing food and "service". I cant see any reason to return. Would give Zero stars if I could. Arrivederci, il prossimo!!!

    This place is a hidden gem, however everyone should know about it and come asap. I'm not sure we had a fluke night because of poor weather, but we had the place almost to ourselves on a Friday night. It's tucked back in a strip mall, but it's got the cutest interior. A great place for a baby shower or celebration of some kind! Service was delightful, food was delicious, and menu had so many great choices. We got the peach caprese appetizer, lobster ravioli and a pizza to share. Every bite was delicious. We'd certainly come back and definitely recommend it to everyone!

    Antimo's is a charming pizzeria/Italian eatery hidden away in a strip mall in the heart of Hopewell that's easily missed if you're not specifically looking for it. The interiors are very tastefully done and evoked memories of a trip I took to the Italian countryside. They have a nice outdoor seating area as well which looked inviting for when temperatures are warmer. I'm not sure if they make their pasta on site, but they do have some equipment on premises that I assume is part of the pasta-making process and they even sell jars of their own pasta sauce. We stopped in for a quick lunch, so didn't have a sit-down meal with wait staff serving us. I was highly surprised that they had a Detroit style pizza available by the slice, so we got that, some traditional cheese slices, a chicken primavera sandwich, and an order of garlic knots. While I ordinarily rate individual items, there were no weak links in the meal and everything was of high quality. The garlic knots were done just right without being excessively soaked in oil or being too heavy, and served with sides of marinara sauce. Both the plain cheese slices and Detroit style slices were of great quality with regards to sauce, cheese, and bread, and would rank pretty high amongst the tough central New Jersey pizzeria standards I set for pizza. The pizza was cooked just the right amount and was more crispy rather than doughy. The Detroit style slice was a great change of pace from traditional slices you normally get and I enjoyed it quite a bit. The chicken primavera sandwich was prepared using high quality and fresh ingredients, and was well liked. Overall, I'd rate the food a 4.5/5, but since Yelp doesn't allow half stars, happy to round up because of the really tasteful and welcoming interiors of the restaurant and friendly staff. I look forward to returning to try out some of their pasta dishes for a proper sit down meal in the near future and would recommend Antimo's Italian Kitchen to others.

    Large chesse pizza

    Good pizza, good service and a nice dining room but OVERPRICED for the Hopewell area for a plain large pizza pie! Ordered a large pizza (no toppings) for lunch and the bill came to over $31 inc a service charge for credit card and modest tip. The pizza was $25.00, it is under $20.00 at most other local pizzerias. It seems they want to encourage ordering of expensive "personal pizzas" for in-dining customers rather than sharing.

The food is fantastic, and the variety on the menu is impressive. The chef clearly knows what they're doing because every single dish we tried was genuinely delicious. It's the kind of spot where you can't go wrong: date night, dinner with friends, or anything in between. We brought our own bottle and had a great time. Our waiter was super knowledgeable, friendly, and patient. The staff even joked around with me when I forgot my to‑go bag, and yes, I absolutely took it home because the food is that good. I also appreciate that they don't act like offering takeout is beneath them; even the takeout bag was nice. I honestly wish my meals were this good every night.

I've heard good things but they did not hit it out of the park for me. I have dietary preferences that I found very hard to make work here. I had looked at the menu beforehand and identified two options that would work for me. The crispy wings and the burger. It turns out I could try neither of those options as they were out of both. It's a Wednesday dinner service and the restaurant was empty so imagine my severe disappointment. I ended up getting a Caesar salad which was fine but let's be honest a Caesar salad is lettuce, cheese, dressing and croutons. There was nothing to write home about with this one. The other three members of the group got pizzas. Here comes the next disappointment - it took more than 45 minutes for the food to come out. There were only two other tables with people so I cannot understand why it took so long. All this to say I waited almost an hour for my sad plate of lettuce, which was not my first or second choice. I was annoyed and still left hungry. The rest of the group seemed to enjoy their pizzas, but I will not be returning.

Upon entering the nicely cooled place, we were warmly greeted and promptly seated by a window adjacent to the wood fire oven. This was our first visit. The room is very lively. Thankful we were seated in the corner which helped with the acoustics. With the dining room mostly full at lunchtime, it was difficult to hear my bride on the other side of the table. We were in no hurry so overtime, the place thinned out a bit and the volume subsided. Could be a real issue on a busy night. Might try the bar room side next time. (Some decorative acoustic ceiling tiles would greatly reduce the noise.) There were menu additions as well as a limited but decent selection of value wines. We decided on the Shrimp Mango Avocado Tower and a Shrimp Caesar salad and a bottle of Villa Antinori. The Shrimp Mango Avocado salad is one of the best salads we have ever had. Really. Blueberry, strawberry, arugula, candied pecans, feta cheese topped with a limoncello dressing and aged balsamic with a few grilled shrimp. Was hoping for more shrimp, but the salad is very filling. The interplay of the various flavors was very tasty and the wine was a good paring. The Shrimp Caesar salad was also very good. I loved the anchovie and dijon forward flavors with just the right amount of garlic. The homemade croutons with just the right flavor and crunch. The pace was perfect. Server (manager?) was attentive but not overbearing. We had a nice relaxing and delicious light lunch. Exactly what we were looking for. We will definitely be back to try the pizza and some desserts.

    I typically never leave negative reviews because I know how difficult customer service and the…read morerestaurant industry can be. We all have bad days, and I truly understand that. However, after witnessing how my elderly father and his group of friends were treated during lunch on Wednesday afternoon, I felt compelled to share this as constructive feedback. My father and several of his friends, all gentlemen in their 70s, 80s, and 90s, met for lunch. There was some confusion about the final size of the party. Initially, they thought there would be six people, but as more friends arrived, the total ended up being eight or nine. One of the gentlemen immediately apologized for the mistake. I completely understand that changing table arrangements can be frustrating. However, what upset me was the way the hostess handled the situation. The first group of gentlemen had already been seated when additional members of their party arrived. Rather than simply moving them to a larger table, the hostess appeared visibly annoyed and began squeezing more and more chairs around the small round table they were already sitting at, repeatedly reminding them that they had said six people. She rolled her eyes, rushed them along, and spoke to them in a curt manner that made these older gentlemen seem like an inconvenience rather than valued guests. What made the interaction particularly confusing was that the dining room on that side of the restaurant was largely empty at the time, aside from people coming in for takeout slices. From my perspective, there appeared to be plenty of room to comfortably accommodate everyone, which made the frustration and lack of patience all the more surprising. As I dropped my father off, I witnessed this interaction myself. I was honestly shocked by how little grace and patience were shown. When the hostess later laughed it off to me and remarked that "they didn't know how many people there were," I simply replied that mistakes happen and that these are older gentlemen who deserved patience and kindness. Before leaving, I even asked that they please take good care of my father and his friends. When my father returned home, I asked how the lunch went. He mentioned that while the server did her job, she and the hostess were both rather rude throughout the experience. I wasn't present for the entire meal, so I can't speak to every interaction, but I can speak to what I personally witnessed, and it broke my heart. If you have an elderly parent or loved one, you understand why this upset me so much. But honestly, this isn't even about age. No one should be made to feel belittled or like a burden. My father taught me to respect my elders, and I was disappointed to see so little respect shown in return. The reason I'm giving two stars instead of one is because the food itself was enjoyed, and thankfully my dad's friends have a wonderful sense of humor. By the end of the day, they were actually laughing together about how mean the ladies had been. But that doesn't change the fact that kindness and patience are just as much a part of hospitality as the food itself. This review is meant as constructive criticism. Service is hard, and everyone can have an off day, but I hope management takes this as an opportunity to remind staff that a little patience and compassion go a long way. For the record, I watched these gentlemen arrive, and there was no complaining, arguing, or rude behavior from them whatsoever, just an honest mistake about the headcount. People remember how you make them feel, and unfortunately, that is what will stay with me most about this visit.
