Antonietta is described as a warm, authentic Italian spot with a cozy, intimate vibe and a kitchen that showcases handmade pasta and wood-fired pizza. The menu focuses on fresh ingredients and Italian tradition, with standout dishes such as burrata, octopus, and sea urchin carbonara frequently praised. The service is noted as friendly and attentive when running smoothly, though some visits are described as loud, inconsistent, or rushed during busy hours. The open kitchen and a compact, one page menu give the experience a homey feel, and the menu tends to change with the seasons. Because the space is small, reservations are recommended, and while many reviews celebrate the food and atmosphere, a few point to price/value concerns or occasional billing slips. Overall, Antonietta is regarded as a neighborhood gem worth returning to for the flavors, atmosphere, and hospitality, even as a handful of visits fall short on service or value.
We absolutely loved this Italian gem 💎
It was recommended to me by an Italian, & it didn't disappoint!
The atmosphere is very cozy, charming & warm. The service is friendly & welcoming, lots of great recommendations for wine pairing with the food. The fried calamari was delicate & well cooked, the pasta I chose was delightful & perfect for late Fall weather. The tiramisu was good & the final gift was a shot for our table on the house!
We will definitely be back 😌
Antonietta is such a lovely take on an authentic Italian restaurant. The pizza is baked in a traditional wood-fired round oven, which gives the crust a perfect balance of chewiness & lightness. Their burrata salad is absolutely delicious-so fresh & light, the kind of starter that sets the tone for the rest of the meal.
The mains are equally satisfying: the beef macaroni is hearty & flavorful, while the rabbit pasta is delicate yet rich in taste. Everything feels thoughtfully prepared & true to Italian tradition.
The restaurant itself is on the smaller side, so making a reservation ahead of time is a must. The atmosphere feels cozy & intimate, & what really stands out is the service. The staff are attentive without being overbearing, constantly making sure your plates are cleared & the table kept fresh. On top of that, they're genuinely kind & welcoming, which makes the experience even more enjoyable.
All in all, Antoinetta is a gem; authentic, flavorful, & warm. Definitely worth the visit!

Cozy little restaurant with very good food, fresh ingredients with a twist on the typical Italian cuisine, excellent service. Small portions for the price.
Amazing experience! Cozy & stylish atmosphere, deliciously well-crafted cocktails, & equally delicious food! The lobster spaghetti was the BOMB. Maya & Luigi were so friendly & provided excellent service. Can't wait to go back!
