Antonio's

The Write-Up

The full story

Upstairs at Antonio's is Maitland's old-school special-occasion room, white tablecloths overlooking Lake Lily. The lobster ravioli is the dish one regular calls the reason I go there, joined by gorgonzola walnut pasta, oak-grilled salmon, and a meatball one diner called the most delicious she had ever had. Longtime regulars note the menu has shrunk over the years and the room runs loud when it fills, but for anniversaries and milestone dinners it still feels like the right table.
