   I had lunch with my family for my birthday and the waiter was the absolute best! She was very attentive and you can genuinely see that she cared about her guests I had an overall amazing experience. Definitely will go again

   Great atmosphere with exceptional customer service. Our waiter was very attentive and welcoming. The food was great. Highly recommend the Diavola pizza and Fool’s Gold drink. The seasoned fries were very flavorful and crispy. Will be coming again.

   Food was excellent & the Server was very good. The noise level was extremely high & it was difficult to have a conversation. Great pizza but they need to look at acoustics & try to make the dining experience more pleasurable.

   First of all, the food was great. We had a Ceasar salad, margherita pizza and branzino. I also had the Michele Old Fashion, and it was also very nice. My only issue, and it was a big one, was with the hosts at the front. I checked in for my reservation on time, to the minute. Not early, not late. She asked me to please wait until she was ready to seat me. So my wife and I stepped away from the host stand, though still in full view, about 10 feet away. Then more parties started arriving, while the hosts were seating earlier parties. About 15 minute go by, and my wife and I noticed a party of 4 come in, check with the host stand, and get seated right away. My wife at this point was annoyed because the restaurant wasn't even half full, and we still had not been seated, and another party that had come in 15 minutes AFTER we arrived was seated. So she went to the hostess and asked, why have we not been seated? You just sat that other party and they were here way after us. The hostess said "their table was ready", and then said she'd seat us now. My wife said to her "you forgot us, didn't you?", but instead of admitting that, she just briskly took us to a table on the outside patio. I said I requested in my reservation to be seated inside, in a booth. The hostess said that there were no more inside tables available at my reservation time, but the app doesn't show that - but she would she what she could do. Meanwhile it's been at least 15 minutes since we've arrived, and STILL the restaurant is only half full. She then sat us at a table that was at the very edge, closest to the front door and the 58 degree drafts from and all the opening and closing, and all the noise from the incoming parties waiting to be seated, inches away. Meanwhile there were no less than 4 open tables, maybe 5, in the row she sat us in. My wife moved one table over so as not to be directly in the path of the cold drafts and noise, to which the hostess said we could not sit there.

   I’ll start by saying I think this could be a 5 star experience but this night it was sub par maybe bc it was New Year’s Eve. I’ll start the food: Arancini: 3/5 nice crunch, soft interior but I was expecting a white cream interior but it was red and not my favorite flavor Caesar salad: 5/5 very small chop, which I love, dressed perfectly, crunchy boys instead of croutons was another plus and the airy Parmesan shred on top was delightful Lemon sorbet: 5/5 classic, tart, large portion (we got it as a palate cleanser and had over half left over so I’d you consider maybe request 1/2 then and at the end) Papparedelle genovese: 4/5 the flavor was a five though the pics online showed more meat Maccheroni bolognese: 4/5 tasty (better as leftovers) but a bit greasy likely due to the 50/50 meat Chianti: 4/5 my mom feels it seemed ‘a little new’ tasted good but not as smooth Capp/latte: very very good maybe bc I usually get FF milk at coffee shop but went full day this time, yum Server was really nice and patient as we took some time between our app and main. Came over just enough. While she was on break our main and wine came. Low point-dirty wine glasses. I can possibly understand a little dishwasher residue but not a smear on the inside of the glass or the other glass having it entirely around the outside. These glasses should have never gone out and I suggest a double check before anything goes out in the future. Also we got the sorbet prior to the main and no one ever came to clear it even thought it was clearly set aside on the table. Final downer, we had an arancini left over earlier and our server boxed it. She didn’t seem to be around when we completed our main and a busser asked if we needed boxes. He brought them to the table for us to clear and the boxes weren’t even completed (ie, had to fold in a few places to make it work). I’m really hoping the lows were due to the busier night bc I’d like to come back to try the pizza, which looked really good.

   Love L’Antica but our NYE dinner wasn’t as awesome as our usual dinners are here. Had to wait 20 minutes past our reservation time to get seated (even though our table was open the entire time) and then our poor waitress had way too many tables and was running around all night so we had to flag her down to place orders, get water refills, etc!

    We had a wonderful experience with Jesse for our party of 6 for my sisters birthday celebration. He was very attentive and detailed. The food was amazing.
