Here's a polished version that sounds warm, appreciative, and professional:…read more I'm so grateful to Antica for helping make our family gathering after my father's funeral on May 29, 2026, such a special and memorable experience. We hosted approximately 40 guests in one of their private event spaces, which included a beautiful patio and provided the perfect setting for our family and friends to come together. The private room gave us the opportunity to share toasts, speeches, memories, and support one another in a comfortable and intimate atmosphere. The food was absolutely outstanding. We selected a variety of appetizers along with an open bar, and every item was delicious. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how wonderful everything was. A special thank you goes to Aaron, the manager, who was exceptional from start to finish. He promptly returned calls and emails, met with me personally at the restaurant, and was present throughout the entire event to ensure everything ran smoothly. His professionalism, compassion, and attention to detail made a difficult time much easier for our family. The staff was equally impressive. Our bartenders were friendly, attentive, and fantastic throughout the evening. As an added touch, the team even packed individual containers of leftover food for guests to take home, which was greatly appreciated. I cannot recommend Antica highly enough. Whether you're planning a celebration, shower, family gathering, or memorial reception, their food, service, and hospitality are truly exceptional. Thank you for helping us honor my father in such a meaningful way.

My husband and I came here for Valentine's Day - we were excited to come and when we arrived 10 minutes early for our reservation they were able to seat us right away. The restaurant has 2 "rooms" one was a little more romantic and contained comfy looking couch/seats and the bar, the other room was a room, plain looking. I'm a sucker for theme drinks and ordered a Berry Hibis-KISS Cocktail. It literally had no flavor. My husband ordered an old fashion For food I got the Fig Carmelli it was delicious but wasn't enough especially for the $30 price tag My husband got the Chicken Parmesan normally priced $29, but for Valentine's Day was priced $30 Our total bill was $92.78 - not too bad! Here's why I diced the stars - there was a table near us, who was the only other table I could see our server waiting on. They folks were treated like KINGS - I saw her bring them bread, with oil Twice, they had their glasses refilled, the server kept checking on them and I overheard them talking about their desserts being "comped" Meanwhile, I had to walk to the bar to get a water refill, and when I asked about bread the server said "so sorry, the kitchen is really backed up" (amazing that it wasn't so backed up to get the other table bread twice, and every table in our room had bread, and the kitchen was able to get our food out, but couldn't get us a couple slices of bread over the hour were were sitting there!!!! I HATE being lied to.

We went back again last night. Ordered a completely different meal start to finish. And all I can say is IT'S REALLY REAL! This place is amazing. It is my grandmother's kitchen. Our party of 4 was so enthralled by the quality of the food we not only had dinner but we ordered another complete meal to take home. I'm not kidding. You really have to go... right now... just pick up the phone and make a reservation... GO!

Food - Great. Service - Also very, very good…read more Ambiance - space is at a premium, mostly utilitarian. Eating here is an event. It's a place we go to for special occasions mostly because it's a special place. We couldn't eat here regularly as the prices are a bit steep but after sampling the cuisine, it is well worth it. This is not the "Olive Garden" (not that there's any thing wrong with OG.) For a unique Italian restaurant and fine Italian food, I highly recommend this place.

Definitely put it on your list of places to go. Authentic Italian and large portions. It's great. The specials sell out quickly so go early.

Nothing was incredible, the sauces in both of the dishes tasted like they came from a can. The noodles were cooked well but both meats - meatball and veal - tasted unseasoned. The best part for me was the garlic butter included with the bread. My mom and I have leftovers now, and might pick up a jar of raos to save the sauce. The service for takeout was fine, and the place looks really cute. But nothing notable about the food.

We enjoyed the garlic bread with cheese first. My buddy enjoyed an Italian sausage fold over that he felt was delicious. I always have enjoyed their salad with poppyseed dressing. I ordered Veal Parm, my favorite Italian dinner. Sadly, I have to report that it was the toughest Veal Parm I've ever had. For the price of $27 I expected it to melt in my mouth! This was a total surprise for me. Thus, my reason for only three stars tonight.

And they accommodated my three children (including one baby) very well. This family friendly environment is very much appreciated for us parents! My husband didn't love that the soda he ordered came from a can and not a soda fountain, but I argued that actually makes the experience more authentic as that is the Italian way. Thanks, In Forno - I'm already planning when we can come back (we live 1.5 hours away).

People, I'm being serious here. I love Brassica's falafel…read moresandwich. I love everything about it; the warm, soft pita, the crunchy fresh made falafels, the sauce and veggie add-in options (I usually go Baba and eggplant). Tip- whatever option the sandwich maker suggests just say yes :) Pile it in....the pita can handle it! Every bite is delicious. The sandwich is built so every bite captures a little of everything. The happiest part of my day is knowing I'm going to eat at Brassica. The saddest part of my day is staring at the last bite knowing it's over....no more. I can't tell you how the other options are at Brassica with exception of the fries...a nice addition to the sandwich with the garlic mayo sauce. I'm confident whatever you choose will be a winner but I command you to go with the falafel sandwich first! I'll be back.....just not soon enough.

I got a hummus plate on accident (it's literally a plate of hummus with toppings) and I don't even usually like hummus like that but this was phenomenal. I added all the toppings possible and also chicken. All the toppings are fresh and flavorful. My favorite was the cucumbers and radish which had the perfect amount of vinegar sharpness and crunch to balance out the meal. I do think one pita isn't enough for the amount of hummus so I took it home and had it with fresh cucumber slices and it was divine. I also tried the chicken pita sandwich which was yummy but I think next time I would get a salad plate. I also tried the fries which were fried nicely and seasoned wonderfully. Would highly recommend!

If you live within 100 miles of Avon Lake, this must be your next stop. The crust is tasty and chewy, but not too chewy. They're generous with the toppings, too. We had the meat-lovers pizza, which was just too awesome for words. The toppings were of the best quality. Big pieces of pepperoni, and great sausage where you can even taste the fennel seeds. It's a deliciously cheesy pizza with the right amount. The crust isn't hard, nor is it soft. The right amount of crunch. It's a tavern-style pizza place with a familiar feel. Today we had the cheese sticks. Dripping with cheese on the inside, and solid crunch on the outside with a great marinara sauce for dipping.
