Antonio's, Nashville, Tennessee Restaurant Details

Food:

The best Italian restaurant on the west side! Have NEVER had a bad meal. Service is great, and food is awesome!

Food:

Overpriced, low service, mediocre, heavy food, but oddly, flavor is there. I would like to see updated, fresh menu items.

Food:

On the advice of a local (who takes her family here often) we tried Antonios. From the condescending "I'll see if there is any place to seat you" after replying that we didn't have a reservation to the poor service and long wait for our food our dinner was a disaster. Our wait person was perky and knowledgeable taking our order. Salads were brought as ordered. We sat, and sat and sat. After 25 minutes she came back to tell us our dinners would be out in 2 minutes. Another 15 minutes later the manager came by and said our dinners would be right out. Another 15 minutes later it was, with 5 steak knives for 2 steaks as if that made things right. We ate our average meals and sat while staff walked by our table, not picking up our dishes on their way to the kitchen. We should have gotten up and walked out, paying the manager as we left. She came with the dessert tray (!) and I asked for the bill. After another 10 minutes waiting for my credit card to be picked up we put on our coats and she came running over. I asked her what the problems were. She said everything was OK. I stopped by to talk to the manager who told me it was the waitperson's fault for not turning in our ticket. I also talked to him about my experiences with staff who help each other out-or not as is the case in this place. He told me he hoped we would come back again. Why would we when there are so many other wonderful places to eat where they treat you like a valued customer instead of the red headed step child? We were at a workshop so there are now 13 people and their friends and family who will be spreading the word that this is a place to avoid.

Food:

take it from a north east Italian...this is a good restaurant and the service is great. I had my wedding reception there and invited all my Italian family (including grandfather from Italy!) and the all loved it. Antonio is there, he cooks, he cares.

Food:

Valentines massacre is what I would call it. Expecting nothing but the great service we had gotten before was quickly squashed in one evening. After one and a half hours of arriving at our time of reservation, we still hasn't been served our meal. People that came in after we got our salads were already enjoying their choice of 6 meals for Valentine's day. My fiance and I were still waiting for the additional bread we asked for when the appetizer came out. Frustrated beyond belief we both got up searching for service in the crowded Italian restaurant. My fiancé asked the manager for help but told her to speak to someone else, I expect he was too busy to help the customer who pays his salary. We were apologized to and immediately told our meal was ready but we had enough and offered to pay for what we had eaten. Of course they said we didn't have to and apologized but it will never make up for the ruined Valentine's dinner. We had hoped for a great night and were very disappointed with the service tonight at Antonio's. I only hope they do something because we have gift cards, lol. Be warned people!
