Well thanks to other Yelpers I found Antonio's today. Now understand we visit and eat in the…read moreWilliamsburg area once a month or so and have been in this shopping area before but I never eaten here. So glad we did today. First them meal: Outstanding. The wifey and I both ordered small pizzas. Mine was the All Meat and the wifey ordered the Arugula and Prosciutto. Let me say again both were outstanding and tasted amazing. When talking about my old meat pizza out of the four or five meats on mine with standard it out above the others was the sausage. Had an absolutely wonderful flavor. But surprisingly it didn't overpower when it was combined with the other meats. As for the wife, this is the second time she's had this combination type Pizza. The first time was in an authentic Italian restaurant, but was in Mexico. Yeah, that's kind of crazy pizza in Mexico but at that location down there it was incredible enough to make my wife want it again and this is the first time we have found a location that served a similar pizza. The arugula was fresh, not welted and really popped with flavor. Now both the wife and I had to really agree that the crust for both pizzas was not that heavy dough type. It had a little fluff to it, making it not weighing in your belly after you eat it. Staff: our server was outstanding as well. Very intentive checked on us several times and we even had some conversation back-and-forth. I believe we may have talked also to the owner who was sitting out front. If nothing else he was the manager again another very friendly man that we enjoyed our conversation with. As for the location: we found it very clean. And well kept. If you look at my other past reviews at locations via visited the one thing we really base cleanliness on is sometimes the restrooms. Well, in a shared ladies/men room, it was also very clean and well kept. So I will say again, outstanding location, outstanding staff, and wonderful food. If you're in the area absolutely I would recommend this for your lunchtime meal. We absolutely look forward to going back at a later time and trying some of the other dishes they offer.

The ambiance was very nice and way larger than I anticipated. I was nervous for a wait but although it was very crowded for a Tuesday there is ample seating. The food was really good. We had onion rings, sticky ribs, meatloaf, peach flatbread, and and kids burgers and pizza. The ribs were outstanding! So happy I threw them in the order last minute. Meatloaf was good and the flatbread was quite delicious. Kids enjoyed their food as well. Onion rings as well, can't go wrong. All in all a great meal at a nice looking restaurant and will definitely recommend it to others!

This was a highlight of our Williamsburg trip!…read more I made a reservation about a month out and I'm glad I did. It was so busy when we showed up. They asked us if we wanted to wait for a few minutes at the bar while they prepared our table so we ordered a couple of drinks. As soon as we ordered they came to get us. No big deal, we just paid and took our drinks with us. We were sat toward the front of the restaurant, which gave us the perfect people-watching position. Our server stopped by to greet us and said she'd be back. Waters and bread were delivered and she oriented us to the menu. We made our selections of salmon for my husband and short ribs with a side of squash. Everything was delicious. We were happy with our selections and so full when we left. I appreciate that the short ribs are boneless and tender and had the perfect seasoning. I'd eat that dish again anytime!

She made recommendations and was so attentive and funny. Hubby was between 3 different meals but went with the Hanger steak special. It came with a potato knish, perfectly cooked asparagus, in a burblanque sauce. He said it was one of the best meals he ever had and it was cooked medium rare as he requested. He also had a perfect manhattan. I wasn't super hungry, so I went for the salmon poor boy. It was crunchy and delicious and the sauce was perfect. I had a Saint Germain spritzer which was light and refreshing. We couldn't leave without ordering beignets. They came with a chocolate and a vanilla sauces. Hubby got a coffee that came in a fun cup. The decor in the restaurant was so fun and made people feel welcome.

I had high expectations for this restaurant given my positive experiences with others in Colonial…read moreWilliamsburg (to include Fat Canary). Starting with the service, the staff were attentive and welcoming. Unfortunately, the food was underwhelming. While portion sizes were reasonable, several dishes lacked the creativity and seasoning needed to stand out. The mussels and French onion soup were highlights, but the escargot and rotisserie chicken were only average. For dessert, the Gateau Breton is fantastic and a standout! However, I would skip the beignets if you are expecting the traditional version. These are smaller with the consistency of a donut hole, and lack the light, pillowy texture typically associated with classic beignets.

Went here tonight for dinner and was really impressed with our meals. We started with the…read morestrawberry gazpacho, which my wife loved. I didn't try it. For entrees, we had the bone-in pork and the cavatelli, and both were excellent. The pork was probably one of the top five I've ever had -- cooked perfectly, with a great sauce on top and really good grits. My wife had a gin, egg white, raspberry, and prosecco drink. It tasted mostly like prosecco, so we weren't quite as impressed with the cocktail as we thought we'd be. One little tiff: there was no one sitting on the outside patio, so we asked if we could have the shaded table. They said no because of the staffing setup. About halfway through our meal, one couple came and sat at the larger table we weren't allowed to use, then decided they didn't want to sit there and went inside. Not really sure what the big deal was with that table versus the one next to it where we were seated on an otherwise empty patio. But all in all, it was a great meal and we would definitely go again!

I've been all over Italy, Asia, and No America...and this is easily the best pizza I have ever had. The small pizza is still huge, even my 15yo couldn't finish the four slices. The service was attentive and wonderful. Our server was kind, helpful, and interacted really well with our kiddos. I will say that it's a little loud, so that could be overwhelming for some people. But the restaurant is super clean, the decor is fun, and the atmosphere is exactly what you'd expect at a busy pizzeria. I cannot recommend this place enough. Like, I may actually travel the 3,000 miles back to Williamsburg again just for the pizza.

This was quite possibly the worst pizza I have ever ordered…read more The crust was thin, soggy, and completely lifeless. The cheese was essentially flavorless. But those were somehow not even the worst parts. Let's talk about the garlic. They used jarlic. Not fresh garlic. Jarlic. The wet, pre-minced stuff sitting in a jar of acid and preservatives. And you could absolutely taste it. It tasted less like garlic and more like someone poured citric acid over the pizza. That sour, metallic, preserved-garlic taste was everywhere. If your kitchen can make pizza but cannot be bothered to chop a clove of garlic, that tells me pretty much everything I need to know about the food. And then there was the spinach. I paid EXTRA for spinach. They put ONE piece of spinach on each slice. Literally. One. I actually had to look at the pizza for a moment because I couldn't believe someone had intentionally prepared it that way and then sent it out the door. One lonely piece of spinach per slice isn't a topping. It's evidence that spinach was once in the building. Charging extra for that is absurd. So, to recap: soggy crust, tasteless cheese, garlic from a jar that tasted like citric acid, and a paid spinach topping rationed out one leaf at a time. This wasn't mediocre pizza. Mediocre would have been an improvement. This was remarkably bad. The person who took my order was pleasant, knowledgeable, and helpful. That is the entirety of the positive feedback I have. I would not order this again if it were free. Never again

She was friendly, attentive, and the food came out pretty quick and nice and hot. They brought out some little hush puppies when we sat down, which was a nice little extra. I started with the calamari, and it was really good. Nice and crispy, good-sized portion, and came with a little lemon. For dinner I got the Williamsburg-style shrimp and grits. It had jumbo shrimp with a tasso ham gravy over creamy cheddar stone-ground grits, with a garlic crostini. The shrimp was cooked perfectly and had a lot of flavor. The grits were really good too. The whole dish was flavorful without being spicy or too hot. Overall, I really enjoyed the place. Good food, good service, nice atmosphere. Definitely two thumbs up and I'd definitely come back next time I'm in Williamsburg.

Well today was our second visit, with the first time being about 8 months ago…read more Frankly, I could cut and paste my last review for today. It was absolutely just a good as it was 8 months ago. Our server and all the staff were very friendly and attentive. I'm sure our water and sweet tea glasses were filled 2 or 3 times without asking. The food: well we like what we had before so much the wifey and I had same things. Her, the Saag with Chicken and me, the Shrimp & Chicken Zafrani. Both tasted great. The only thing is for me - I do wish my meal had maybe 1 more shrimp and 1 more chicken piece. Now this was the lunch meals, so maybe the dinner meal has a bit more. But still for $20 it was a nice meal. As for the location: Still after 8 months, looks great, well kept and clean. I will be back again and recommend you give this place a chance.

The space is BEAUTIFUL and definitely date night or girls night out vibes. For drinks, I did the strawberry basil spritz and it was super refreshing. We decided to order and share family style mostly because I had never had Indian food before. One of the friends isn't a spice girl so we did the lowest level of heat for everything. As someone who likes a little spice, I would probably go one level up in the future. Vegetable Biryani - This was the spiciest thing we had and it was super flavorful. Butter Chicken - This was definitely a reorder item - simply yummy. It was served with white rice. Garlic Naan - The naan was very garlicy which I love. It does linger on the breath so highly recommend a mint after dinner. Char-Grilled Salmon Tikka - This was the only thing I was a little disappointed in. The Salmon was cooked perfectly, but there wasn't a ton of flavor. The vegetables it came with was undercooked.
