All I can say, is whoever cooked our dinner on Sat nite (6/7) around 5pm did an amazing job. The carbonara w/ angel hair and chicken was perfect. The ravioli was awesome too. Service was quick and our waitress was super friendly and helpful. To those who complain about wait times, anywhere is slammed at 7pm on a wknd nite, so get over it. Especially places that serve good food. Lived in the MJ area for over 10 yrs and have always enjoyed food here.

Casual, comfortable and clean. Welcoming, efficient and attentive staff. Outdoor dining available. Very family friendly. Love coming here, 10-plus years. Always good! Chicken Parmesan is our favorite, plus the garlic bread with mozzarella cheese and chicken tenders.

Antonio’s is my #1 go to in Wilmington for Italian food. I love the Eggplant Rollatini and I’m never disappointed with their pizza. The new owner is very personable and he has top tier staff. The servers are very attentive and know the “regulars” on a first name basis. It’s a very inviting atmosphere. I’m already planning my next trip!

My wife and son shared a cheese pizza. I had a meat lovers pizza. The pizza was delicious!! We also had garlic knots appetizer. They were good. The side marinara dipping sauce was phenomenal!! Possibly the best pasta sauce I've ever tasted!!

Antonio's catered our Christmas party and it was a HUGE hit! The portions were large and the employees raved about the food. The owner himself delivered the food and helped set up--in my opinion, went above and beyond. I've also been to the restaurant with a party of 7 and noticed straight away how clean everything is (a major decision on where I eat), food was A and the server was extremely nice and attentive even though she was super busy. Definitely recommend!

Love this place. This is the place my dad stopped on Friday nights to bring home pizza. My dad has met some wonderful employees here. In return we think the world of them especially Jess. She is their bartender. My dad loved her genuine personality. My dad passed away in November but fought hard to get well so he could have 1 last Friday night date with her. (Unsuccessful) Our family now has a special place their.

Have been eating here for 22 years - several different owners. Now there are new owners who seem to care very much. Recently had a fantastic dinner of eggplant rollatini. Went back for lunch. Eggplant Rollatini not available. Ordered sausage and peppers. Very little sausage (less than one link). Sausage slices were the type used as pizza topping. Peppers were crunchy, as use on a salad; they should be cooked. Sausage should be 1/4" to 1/2" for sausage and peppers. If my lunch experience was my first visit, I would not have gone back. I would love a local "go to" Italian restaurant. I am hoping this review will get attention and changes. I will certainly try this restaurant one more time before I make a final decision. Follow-up Review. Dined in recently. Service and food were excellent. Terrific eggplant rollatini.
