    Our group enjoyed a lovely lunch at Anthony's. Everyone enjoyed their meals. The sandwiches looked great, my salad was wonderful. The gelato and coffee were delicious. Our server was very friendly and efficient. We will be back, hopefully for dinner!

    Veal Parm and veal piccata was just ok. The veal was cut to thick and was a little tough. The house salad had a lot stems on the bottom of the bowl. Service, drinks and desserts were excellent

    Super visit! Reservations are important for indoor seating. We had a window seat which gave us a little privacy. Drinks before 6 were considered happy hour which was nice. Dinners came with a small side salad and bread. Meals were incredibly filling. I had my favorite, chicken parm. Very pleased and will return.

    They took the reservation but did not keep the reservation. We had a 630 reservation. We were told when we arrived that they were getting our table ready. There were at least four parties in the lobby with reservations that weren't kept. One party was there since six. The manager was not speaking to anyone. The young woman at the hostess station was left to deal with customers, and finally said she had no idea when people could be seated or get food. Four people were standing around behind the counter, and there were at least 3 tables that needed to be cleaned.

    Anthony’s has delicious food, generous portions, nice wine, pleasant servers, and it is a great value for the prices. My one complaint is that it is so noisy in there. It’s hard to hear one another’s conversations. Some sound proofing materials on the walls would be helpful.
