" After hearing glowing reviews, I decided to try Antica Trattoria, and it did not disappoint! The rigatoni was cooked to perfection, and the flavors were authentic and vibrant. On top of that, the wine selection was decent, with fair prices. Even though it was busy, our waitress maintained her composure and was very friendly. I recommend this place for anyone who loves Italian food. " (*Curated Review*)

" A friend recommended Antica Trattoria, and I'm glad I went! My dish was flavorful, and the presentation was beautiful. The staff treated us well, making sure we were happy with our meals. The wine list was impressive as well. It’s a bit on the higher side in terms of price, but the quality justifies it! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first visit, and I'll definitely be coming back. The food was delightful! I had the Gnocchi, which was exquisite, and my partner enjoyed the Salmon. The waiter was attentive and very patient as we decided on what to order. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for enjoying a meal with loved ones. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Antica was a mixed bag. The food was excellent—especially the gnocchi—but the noisy atmosphere made it hard to hold a conversation. The staff was very friendly, though, and that made up for a lot. I'll probably be back with a larger group next time since the energy was great! " (*Curated Review*)

" This is a wonderful place for Italian food! The atmosphere is really nice, and there are plenty of options on the menu for everyone. I ordered vegetarian lasagna, and it was hearty and flavorful. The staff was attentive and friendly, which made our dinner even better. Will return for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner at Antica last night, and it lived up to its reputation! The seafood risotto was divine; the richness of the flavors was amazing! The portions are generous, and I couldn’t finish my meal. The decor is elegant, but I feel it could use a little bit more warmth. Overall, a fantastic evening! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went here with friends for a casual dinner, and while I enjoyed my meal, it was nothing extraordinary. The service was friendly, but the food could use more seasoning and depth of flavor. Antica Trattoria is a solid choice, but I think there are better Italian options out there. " (*Curated Review*)
