The food was very well prepared and flavorful. Portions were well sized and a decent value. Our server was very attentive and pleasant. Although it was somewhat noisy you could still have a conversation and hear the music being played. Nice to see a full restaurant in highly recommend.

Awesome Cod dinner !! Service was “on point “ our Server was there when needed . Perfect service to match an amazing dinner . Although It became very loud , and while sitting close to my friend , we could barely hear one another . ( understood that Ante Prima is popular ! We all love ❤️❤️ your food !!) My only request would be is to make additional adjustments to defer the noise . Noticed the ceiling fixtures to absorb sound . Maybe add a few additional. I / we will return ! Btw : you have a great hostess , who is always gracious and friendly .

Always an A+ experience, from the back patio still being available for us immunocompromised people still not wanting to get sick from COVID, to the staff who now knows me, to the quick and attentive serving staff and finally the outstanding food and quality. Five stars all around!!

Food was great, but Ante Prima had too many small tables crowded together and multiple waiters were continually walking between the tables, almost brushing against us, and sticking their butts in our faces. They also hurried us through the meal so they could turn over the tables. It was also extremely loud. A stressful experience and I’m not sure I’ll return.

Always a solid meal here, although noise level is high, portions small, and one of our diner’s food was cold. Server was efficient and aloof.
