Antonio’s Trattoria — Restaurant in Earl Township

We were craving Italian and were lured in by the exceptional ratings but ultimately underwhelmed by the food. Our waitress was excellent but we waited almost an hour for our food. We ordered the pappardelle bolognese and aglio e olio. The portions were HUGE and the pasta was cooked perfect in both dishes. However, the bolognese was very bland. Authentic bolognese should be very flavorful from onions/celery/carrot/etc. but this had a mild, unseasoned ground beef taste. The aglio e olio (garlic and oil pasta) was similar. While it did have a fair amount of whole garlic cloves, it had a very mild garlic taste and I could not taste any Parmigiano Reggiano. Aglio e olio is supposed to be VERY garlicky. I am not sure if it was because the cloves were whole instead of sliced or if they just weren’t sautéed long enough in the oil. We would’ve much rather had half the portion size with more attention paid to the flavor of the dishes.

Seeing as how the other reviews are overwhelmingly positive, I am not sure if it was just an off night or this area doesn’t expect the same level of flavor we do when ordering simple, classic Italian pasta dishes. We went in with high expectations based on these reviews and the menu descriptions but ended up disappointed. Very rarely do I leave negative reviews but I felt it necessary as our experience paints a picture different than the...

This place is all around excellent. Over the years the building has been a few different restaurants, however, now as Antonio’s it’s by far the best. I’ve tried a variety of their food. My favorite is their pizza and their pork wings. The dinner entrees are also good, but I personally adore the pizza. The margarita pizza with the mozzarella slices, basil and cherry tomatoes is to die for. The ingredients are fresh and you can tell. The sauce is amazing, which to me stands out compared too other pizzas from different restaurants. It’s well worth the money for me. Whoever the chef is definitely has skills. Each experience there the servers were very nice and accommodating. That’s always a plus in the restaurant business. They have live music sometimes which is also great. I’d highly recommend Antonio’s. I truly love their food, I hope they succeed in the area and stay forever. It’s a must...

We have now dined in twice and ordered takeout once and each experience us been more than delightful. Besides having a lovely ambiance day or night-The food has so much flavor, it’s always cooked to perfection. We dined in and had the buratta, salad and a pasta entree-our server took notice this was our first time there and made incredible suggestions. We had lunch at the bar on another occasion with some cheesteak egg rolls, salad and my husband got a sandwich. I can’t remember what we each ordered but I know it didn’t last long at all. We got pizza, wings and fries for takeout and when we got home it was still warm and crispy, the fries were were perfectly salted and crisp and the wings were sauced up but not messy at all. What more could you actually ask for? I am so thrilled this restaurant is a quick drive for us because you don’t get this quality food and...
