    This is my 3 rd time dining there and the experience is always so wonderful. The dining room is inviting, the wait staff is helpful and don't rush the dining experience and the food is so delicious, as well as reasonably priced. I had a 4oz filet mignon. I like my meat rare, but often that request is ignored. The meat was perfect, tender and tasteful. I also find that many restaurants tend to use a lot of salt- my dish (it came w/a polenta cake and spinach) was seasoned perfectly.

    Went for dinner with friends who had recommended it and we were not disappointed. I had the filet mignon and the polenta! Excellent. Two folks had the pork chop and loved it and the two pasta dishes; one as a side (pesto) also got rave reviews. We will be back!

    Antonio’s is a gem-wonderful food, amazing service and an incredible bar. The owner Joe went out of his ways on several occasions to accommodate large parties for us on busy nights. Highly recommend!

    Bacaro is our go to place! We often split a pasta and salad. The petit filet is excellent. and reasonably priced for the complete meal. Cocktails very good too! Wine priced reasonably.

    Our server Whitney was very attentive. We had the arancini and figs to start. Both were excellant and arancini was a very good size. Two of us had the filet mignon was was perfectly prepared. The other guest had shrimp linguine which was also good and had very good sized shrimp. The espresso martinis were excellant . We did find the wine to be quite expensive and suggest venue have house wines available we were celebrating a birthday and it was very kind of the venue to provide a delicious tiramisu. I will say the restaurant is quite dark so reading the menu was a challenge. We really enjoyed our meal and would go back in future.

    Dined at Antonio’s Bacari several times and always delivers fantastic meals. Shared a Cesar salad , fried artichoke hearts and the pesto pasta with my date. Loved it all. The lemon cream cake finished the meal fabulously. I’ll return again and again. Highly recommend for any casual or special occasion.

    This was my second visit to Antonio’s.  The four of us enjoyed our meals tremendously. The seafood & fish dishes were superbowl . We really appreciated excellent service by Marybeth and Lilah. Street parking is easy.
