EXCELLENT! Small family restaurant. Friendly staff. We arrived without reservation about 7pm Saturday evening. Took table in small intimate bar. Fast service. Rick, the bar manager was there immediately to take our orders. Recommend an excellent Cabernet. All food was excellent. Tomato Basil Soup. Chicken...Parmigiana. Fabulous! From the takeout traffic this obviously a locals favorite . We will definitely return and ask for Rick next time we’re traveling through.More

I have to admit that I forget about Antoni’s when trying to figure out where to eat. This past weekend I remembered and what a revelation! When I walked into the restaurant, I felt like I was walking into a good friend’s home. We went...without reservations but we were seated immediately and before we knew it, David was there at tableside giving us wine suggestions and explaining the special of the day. I asked for something off the menu and I was told that “of course” they could accommodate my requests, (no ifs, ands or buts) and after appetizers, salads and entrées, I was thoroughly satiated. I asked to see the front-end manager who turned out to be Nancy and I just gushed my appreciation of the food, the service and the atmosphere! Kudos to all of you who made for such an enjoyable experience! Can’t wait to go back!More

We visited with 8 guests, which I consider a large table. Our table was handled perfectly all evening long. The food was correct, it was hot, and it was served perfectly by a waiter who was obviously trained properly. I would add at this time...that he checked on us, but did not hover. Instead of bringing us boxes he took the food and boxed it for us. Our waiter was a perfect gentleman the entire meal. One thing that I like about this restaurant is the varying prices. Some people want an nice meal, but don’t want to spend a lot of money. Some people want a meal with all the “bells and whistles” and don’t mind spending a little more. Antoni’s has fine food in every price range. Our meal was for New Years Eve so we were up for anything. I feel we got a very fine meal for a very reasonable price. It was expertly prepared and served. In my opinion this is one of Lafayette’s finer restaurants. We only come here 2-4 times a year, but we always enjoy our meals at Antoni’s. On the way home I told my wife we need to visit this fine establishment more often.More

My husband and I had a wonderful experience at Antoni’s this evening. We found the restaurant on Trip Advisor where it was rated 4 of 5 stars. I cannot conceive of why not 5 Stars. Our server, Dillon was super friendly, perfectly attentive, and knew...all about the restaurant - history, menus, preparation - he knew it all and seemed very proud of the restaurant and his job! We ordered the wedge salad and Ave Antoni pizza, both of which were perfect. It really makes a difference when ingredients are fresh and dishes are made in house. Don’t compare their pizza to any fast food pizza chain - their is no comparison! We ate outside under the beautiful trees, surrounded by flowers and just had a perfect meal and experience. We come to South Louisiana a few times a year, and we will make it a point to return.More

Fabulous service and amazing food! We came here for a date night and sat on the patio. The evening was perfect. We enjoyed the wedge salad, caprese, veal scallopini, shrimp fresca. Then we were gifted with an accidental blackberry cheesecake (yum!) and ordered the tiramisu...with cappuccinos. We enjoyed it so much!! Everything was just perfect and so yummy and enjoyable. The owners were there making sure we were satisfied and greeted every table. Such a classic staple in Lafayette! We will be back with our kid and dog because the patio is dog friendly.More

My wife and I are from this area, and we really enjoy the specials that Eli and Holly serve each weekend. They put out a newsletter that lets us know what's on the "special menu" for this Friday and Saturday, and it always interesting and...delicious. When it is offered, the osso bucco (veal shank) is wonderful, as is the veal roast. We have never had the pizza, I am sure it is great, but we go for the more authentic Italian dishes. You can get very nice desserts, premium alcohol, fine wines, cappuccino and other special coffees, and great service. You will walk out well fed and happy. If you eat here once, you will return...promise!More

This place is quaint and relaxing. Great place to disconnect from a busy day. We had the pasta Fresca added chicken, Kids cheese pizza and the build your pasta - chicken fettuccine Alfredo. All were fantastic and fresh. Our waiter was knowledgeable on the menu,...friendly and polite. For desert we had the Italian cream, the tiramisu and the lemon tart. All were full of flavor. Maybe dress a bit nice, business casual or something. Definitely t shirts and flip flops. A great place for a date or to Celebrate a special occasion. We stopped in on our way to vacation in Golf Shores, so still family friendly.More

Antoni's is a real gem. A lovely atmosphere (can also dine on the deck out front) and a cozy little bar (my favorite). The wine list isn't extensive, but it contains some very reasonably priced and tasty selections. Be sure to look up David, who...will fill you in on all you need to know about wine pairings with the great food there. The menu is varied and contains all made from scratch italian delicacies. My favorite is the free range veal with lemon beurre blanc with capers and artichokes. Don't miss the grilled quail as well. Soups and salads of all sorts are fresh and delicious as is the accompanying house made focaccia. I always like to finish with the Tiramisu. The service and attention to detail makes this one of my favorite haunts in Lafayette. Try it...you'll be glad you did.More
