    Eggplant Parmesan
    Keaton R.

    The food and wine was as good as the hospitality and service. Which was excellent! Great atmosphere! Mom really enjoyed her birthday. Thank y'all!

    Great food with good service and live music. Cute little spot with multiple options for places to sit. Try this spot out!

    My husband and I enjoyed dinner here for our Friday date night. It has been many years since the last time we ate here, and the food was just as fresh and delicious as it was back then! We plan to return soon! We started off with the bruschetta appetizer, which had fresh tomatoes, just the right amount of garlic, and a topping of basil. Absolutely delicious! I also ordered the Crepe Myrtle, which was refreshing (highly recommend!), and my husband had a glass of Pinot Grigio and a Caesar salad. For our entrees, my husband enjoyed the Chicken Parmesan, which was a generous serving. I ordered the veal scaloppine with the mushroom Marsala sauce. I added on a side dish of capellini and I was offered extra sauce for it (so delicious!). It was served with sautéed vegetables, which were flavorful and cooked well. We finished up dinner with a Honeybee Prosecco and my husband requested a Paloma, which isn't on their drink menu, but our waiter was able to have it made (and it turned out great). Everything was delectable, the ambiance was on par for date night, and the staff was helpful and attentive. We plan to come back soon to try out more dishes and drinks.

    Bolognese Pasta, fresh bread, and a Gin and Tonic

    What an incredible little Italian joint! Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and the FOOD!! Oh the food!! So good! Reasonably priced too

    Best Chicken Parmesan I've ever had.

    I'm going to keep this short and sweet but I did not expect to find one of the best Italian restaurants ever to be hidden away in Lafayette, Louisiana. Antoni's has the best Chicken Parmesan I have ever had, best part is that they don't make the common mistake that many others make by not putting enough sauce on the pasta that comes with the Chicken Parmesan, also I believe they make the sauce themselves. Their cheese bread with the garlic and marinara sauce is amazing. The bread with the butter spread they give you is great as well. I highly recommend Antoni's you will not be disappointed. I wish they had a location here in Houston, TX.

    Sarrica's is hands down the best Italian food in Lafayette! Everything is made fresh, the bread,…read morethe pasta, the sauces (I think even some of the cheese!) with ingredients imported from Italy. They change their menu every two weeks so you never know what will be on the menu each time you go, but for my husband and I, that is part of what we love. Their Puffeto appetizer is so good, warm home baked bread, fresh from the oven with their delicious marinara sauce and gooey mozzarella. That sauce has so much flavor, it's fantastic. As for the entree's, we have never gotten anything we don't like. Dishes with braised beef are AMAZING! My son is a lasagna connoisseur and he says Sarrica's is the best he has ever eaten (the lasagna is always on the menu). The pizzas are also fantastic with a great crust, fabulous sauce, and quality ingredients. Downsides...the food is a bit pricey but the quality of the food makes it worth it, in our opinion. The location is not that great because it's a bit hard to get in and out of. Finally, the restaurant itself is small on the inside and a bit dark. However, we love the decor, the service has always been excellent, and the slight hassle of the location and parking is worth it when you taste the food.

My first impression is that the service, and the setting are amazing. The "Sensational" salad was really great, sensational? It's as though something is missing, but I'd have it again. The steak was second, maybe third to the best I've ever enjoyed. (I have had hundreds of fillets) The texture was probably second only to Omaha Prime, (which still stands out as the absolute best in every category). The asparagus was not amazing, but good enough to eat. It was green and edible, unlike most where I can't eat the low portions. Overall I'd come here again, probably done than later.

The quality and flavor of the food here was amazing and the prices were so reasonable! The veal pannata was delicious, great size sized dish. The veal was flatted and fried perfectly! Anything on the menu I don't think you could go wrong with! ALSO this was our first time here and I have to mention the pallet cleanser with the lemon sorbet was just an extra special touch! Also, they do not have a dessert menu, inside they have a dessert tray that they come out and show you!!! SERVICE: we had Casey as our server and she was great! She gave us recommendations as well listed all of the specials for us! We came on a Wednesday evening so it was pretty dead, but excellent service! AMBIANCE: the ambiance is incredible. I truly have nothing bad to say about this restaurant. You walk in and it feels like a luxury restaurant, but you don't break the bank on one dish! Everything was clean, moody, and perfect for a date night or celebration! If anything it was a little chilly so I'd recommend bringing a jacket!

It reminds me of a restaurant back in the 80's or early 90's so could use updating but still a clean nice place. The service was friendly. I ordered the chicken parmesan and it was just ok. The chicken & spaghetti were room temperature so I'm not sure if the chicken is suppose to be served this temperature since I'm not Italian but I wasn't impressed. The sauce was super dark, another thing I'm not sure about but it needed more spices. My friend had the crepes and they were crispy so she really enjoyed them! I might go back to try another dish but not sure as of now.

The waitress was very friendly but two of our things came out wrong. One was the salad dressing, and I didn't want to say anything as the Italian dressing brought out instead was a creamy one and turned out to be very good. The other item was the topping was incorrect for our pasta but the meatballs happened to be wonderful. The problems started after our dinner was brought out. The waitress never returned and we were waiting and waiting. I saw her come out again and waved feverishly to get her attention and we said we need take out containers and the check. We tried to get help from another waiter and he looked the other way and ignored us. Here's where things get tricky. I had ordered the seafood manicotti. I thought that it tasted great. I was the only one that ordered it at our table and was the only one that got sick. I rarely post anything negative on here but I don't enjoy getting sick. So I will not be returning to this restaurant. There are plenty of other options to eat at in Lafayette.
