Finally had to ask for menus after being seated for 15 minutes. Didn't get a cocktails until after 30 minutes of being there. Guest ordered an aperol spritz which is on the menu along with umbrellas outside with aperol written on them, however the restaurant doesn't have aperol. They brought a galliano spritz but advertise Aperol, very weird. Also always weird to me when servers have no clue who ordered what and ask the table. Maybe it's because I was a high end server in college. Beef Carpaccio was delicious. Pasta was tasty. Chicken was also nicely done, I didn't enjoy the veal and would not recommend. Big wine selection which was nice. Desserts were nice but limited menu with only 3 traditional options. Food was good enough I would consider going back but service was quite poor and most concerning is that the restaurant was only half full due to holiday weekend. If the restaurant was full, service likely would have been far worse.

After decades of dining in Birmingham, I'm always surprised when we come across a new gem (well,…read morenew to us, since apparently this place has been here for a decade). We went here for our anniversary dinner and it was the perfect choice. Our server, Patrick, was an absolute delight and took good care of us throughout our meal. We started with an appetizer special, the Wagyu meatball with fondue. It definitely did not fit the standard definition of a meatball, which was a good thing. The presentation was beautiful and it tasted great! For our next course, we split a Caesar Salad, but the parmesan basket it was served in made this dish truly unique. For my entree I had the Rigatoni alla Vodka. Vodka sauces are a favorite of mine and this one was among the best I've had. I was also quite pleased with the serving size, something that many Italian restaurants miss the mark on. My wife had the Tagliatelle alla Bolognese. She loves a good bolognese sauce and truly enjoyed this one. We had originally decided to pass on dessert, but much to our surprise and delight, the head chef/owner brought us a cannoli, with a delicate "happy anniversary" chocolate wedged into a raspberry. It was a very kind and thoughtful way to wrap up a wonderful dining experience.

Girl Dinner is one of the best deals in the area and they do NOT skimp on portions. Flavor of everything was delicious. Service was friendly and attentive.

Will recommend to anyone for a nice night out.

I had my baby shower at Antica Nova this past Saturday and the whole experience was perfect…read more There was an issue with the previous restaurant we were going to use for the shower and we are so grateful they could accommodate us here. We had a few options for private rooms, but they suggested the main dining area for the lighting, which was really nice. There were multiple linen options we were able to choose from (pink options in pic) and these were included in the total cost. The whole room was set up according to how many seats we wanted at each table and they were fully prepared for us to start decorating as soon as we arrived. The personal bartender also arrived early and prepped the station long before guests arrived. The food was all delicious. We had buffet style (set up shown in one picture by fireplace). Way too busy enjoying ourselves to take pictures of food. The buffet was about 10 minutes later than expected, but there was a party of 80 at the same time and no one seemed bothered by this. We chose chicken tenders and fries for the kids attending and this was promptly served about 15 minutes before the buffet so the parents were able to help feed before getting their own food. Rolls- really classic white bread rolls. Exactly what you want. Green beans - these were sooo good! Very buttery and surprising! Potatoes- hasselback style, cut in halves. Also so buttery and perfectly salted. Tuscan chicken- thin sliced chicken breasts with sun dried tomato and a creamy Tuscan sauce. This was extremely delicious. Salmon- I cannot remember the flavor we chose but perfectly cooked and flavorful, cut into about 1.5" pieces so it didn't feel overwhelming to choose one of everything. Salad - classic salad with tomato and cucumber. We chose a ranch and vinaigrette. The table had Parmesan cheese, half and half creamer, sugar, and butter available. They allowed us to bring in our own cupcakes as dessert ($1/person) and served regular/ decaf coffee with this. This room could definitely fit more people. Our set up was 6 round tables of 6 but they were very flexible with how we wanted these set up and number of chairs per table. Overall, great experience. I can't wait to come back for dinner!

A couple of days a week they even have live music, which makes for an especially enjoyable atmosphere while you're having dinner. One of the things that really makes this place special is the owner, Dominic. He's over 90 years old and you'll still find him there every single day, greeting guests with a smile on his face and genuinely enjoying the company of the people who come in. That kind of personal touch is something you just don't find very often anymore. I especially love when they feature the fried mozzarella as an appetizer. The portion is so generous it could practically be a meal all by itself, and it's absolutely delicious. My favorite entrée is the chicken Parmesan, and their meat sauce is hands down some of the best I've ever had. If you're looking for great Italian food, generous portions, a welcoming atmosphere, and a restaurant with plenty of personality, this place is definitely worth checking out!

This little place that has less than a handful of tables, because its carry out business was super busy while our hour plus there, was fantastic. Our meal started with warm, wrapped in foil rolls that were scrumptious. The cream of broccoli soup was delicious. It was blended with carrots (and probably other veggies) and a lot of broccoli. The portion of Eggplant Parmesan served on top of spaghetti that I ordered was huge. Prices were so reasonable, especially for the large servings. Atmosphere was friendly and we spoke to a couple sitting at another table who were also there for the first time, also came in based on the reviews they read, and really liked their food. The employee behind the counter who took our order, brought us the rolls and dishes, was super nice and very appreciative of our tip. We are definitely going back!

Our waitress smelled like cigarettes and was very inattentive. The red sangria was absolutely awful, I couldn't even drink it. The appetizer sampler was also pretty bad-it came with mozzarella sticks(fine), deep-fried mushrooms(good), and "chicken tenders"(horrible, it was chicken paste not tenders) and 1 ranch dressing for everything. The pepperoni pizza was actually very good, the crust was amazing but the sauce was very sweet which I didn't like. The restaurant was not playing any music and overall VERY chaotic. Our bill was higher than expected too for the amount of food that we got. Overall this was honestly an awful experience but I would possibly order takeout pizza.
