" Had a pleasant dinner at Antica Trattoria! The appetizers were flavorful, but my main dish didn't live up to my expectations. The service was efficient, and they were quick to respond to our needs, but the flavors just weren't as vibrant as I hoped for Italian cuisine. I'd give it another try, though! " (*Curated Review*)

" The waitstaff were friendly and efficient, but the food didn't meet my expectations. The fettuccine was bland, and although it was a big portion, flavor is key for Italian food. I left feeling full but disappointed. I’ll probably try something different next time if I return. " (*Curated Review*)

" One of the finest Italian dining experiences I have ever had. The Chef pays attention to quality ingredients, and it shows in every bite. The restaurant had a lovely setup, perfect balance of exposure and lighting. Service was fast and made for a really enjoyable meal. Ideal for a romantic date! " (*Curated Review*)

" Antica Trattoria is a gem! The food tasted genuine and every bite was filled with love—especially the tiramisu. The servers are attentive and make you feel welcomed. We had a mishap with our order, but they rectified it quickly. The atmosphere is lively yet cozy, perfect for a family gathering or a date. I can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" A beautiful dinner spot with rich flavors and a welcoming atmosphere. I loved the squid ink pasta, and everyone enjoyed their meals. The staff was incredibly polite and made us feel at home. It does get a bit crowded and loud, but it adds to the lively vibe of the restaurant. Definitely recommended! " (*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*)
