Antonia'sNever disappointedMy wife and I stop here for dinner at least once whenever we are in Key West, this time it was twice. The food and service I find to be the best in Key West. The staff is professional without being over bearing and everything we have tried we have really enjoyed. The wine list has a great balance of domestic and Italian wines. I've tried to recreate a number of dishes at home but it never matches Antonias. The desserts are also terrific. I've sent three of our friends here and they all had the same experience.4/24/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent !The food and service was excellent. From the minute you walk in to the moment you leave you will enjoy the dining experience. We will be back !4/23/2013 12:00:00 AMDelicious from start to finish.Delicious from start to finish. Homemade pastas and local seafood highlight the menu. Huge Caesar had a unique slightly sweet twist to the traditional flavor profile and was great. Excellent service and comfortable setting offer a relaxed alternative to rowdier places right in heart of Duvall Street.4/18/2013 12:00:00 AMThe food was excellent! HadThe food was excellent! Had a wonderful meal 30 years ago here. It's Still Great! The Yellowtail Snapper was out of this world.. Wine list was over priced4/14/2013 12:00:00 AMProfessional, Gracious, DeliciousI reserved the day prior to my son's 15th birthday (2 adults, 2 fifteen year-old boys). From the moment we arrived, we enjoyed a magnificent experience. The reserved table was ready, set for the proper number of guests and decorated in an appropriate and whimsical fashion. The escort was gracious and the principal server arrived almost immediately thereafter. Initial beverages and wine arrived with appropriate timing. Arrival of the main course was leisurely and comfortable; plates were presented simultaneously and we did not need to prompt staff concerning who had ordered what dish. Desserts were offered within a comfortable time after plates were removed. Manager visit was cordial and genuine. The food was OUTSTANDING.3/27/2013 12:00:00 AMMy wife and I really enjoyedMy wife and I really enjoyed our experience.

The New York Times ran a short news story on the blaze in its main news section -- a testament to the restaurant's popularity with the intelligentsia. It was a standout, with very fresh and beautifully prepared entrees as good as you'd get at the very best restaurant in Tuscany, with truly smart, professional no-baloney wait staff. Not a melted cheese and sea of tomato sauce kind of place. Antonia rebuilt, a nearly exact (though very slightly larger) replica of the building that burned. She sold it in the 1990s and we have been anxious ever since but rewarded when we return every year to find it nearly as good as ever. Still the best Italian restaurant in South Fl.3/16/2013 12:00:00 AMAntonia's is on Duval StreetAntonia's is on Duval Street and is an upscale Italian restaurant. We were pleasantly met by a friendly host and led to our seats. He was just the start of excellent service. Every worker we met there was not only friendly but prompt with service and really seemed to like his/her job.
The food was great. The fettuccine special was delicious and made to order. The lasagna and other regular fettuccine meals were hot and delicious. Brushetta was perfectly made with just the right amount of tomatoes and spice.
The restaurant filled up quite quickly but was never noisy.3/12/2013 12:00:00 AMA tranquil, elegant refugeA tranquil, elegant refuge on otherwise chaotic Duval Street. Excellent ambiance, food and service!3/11/2013 12:00:00 AMA pleasant surprise. FoodA pleasant surprise. Food and service was excellent with great atmosphere. If back in Key West I would definitely put it on my list of places to dine.3/8/2013 12:00:00 AMInaccurate MenuAntonia's serves good traditional Italian food in a very comfortable and attractive indoor setting. Service is friendly, attentive and prompt. The wine list could stand some improvement, but there are a few decent choices. The menu sometimes can't be relied upon for accurate descriptions of the food. For example, the dish described as pasta checca arrived in a pomodoro sauce instead of the traditional uncooked diced tomatoes.1/13/2013 12:00:00 AM
