We were driving by and saw this new place. Turns out, they opened just last week.
We went in to place a take out order and the employee up front was very kind, welcoming, and hospitable. She gave us a quick tour of the restaurant!
It’s very clean, has a lovely cozy feel, and all the staff are friendly and nice.
We got the street tacos and fajita tacos. It was beyond delicious. Our dinner was very fragrant; each bite was better than before and appropriately portioned.
I wish the best for this restaurant, their staff, and owners. Whatever they’re doing, keep it up! I hope this place gets busy with lots of business.

We live in Bellevue and have been here several times. It is our new favorite! The house margaritas are the best we have found. The food has a little something special about it unlike most of the other Bellevue places.
The service has been great every time and the food comes out quickly!
It is clean, new and bright! We look forward to dining on the patio when the weather gets nicer!

The food and service have been excellent. We have eaten here a couple of times within the past week. They are going to see a lot more of us. Bellevue has a number of good Mexican restaurants but this one is hands down the best of the bunch, in my opinion.
I have been looking for a restaurant in the area that offers charros beans for years. Arriba has them and they are great! There is one other place I found in the area but their charros were not that good.

They have Tacos Birria! Nowhere else has these and they are the best thing ever! Service was amazing. We sat on the huge patio and the flan, chips and guacamole is homemade you can tell. Best Mexican restaurant I’ve ever been to.

Family had a great time with margaritas and Mexican soft drinks. Then, the food came and was excellent. I had the street tacos which were awesome. Love this place!! Worth a visit!!

Yes, another Mexican joint in Bellevue. It took this many different options for one to get it right! Service was great as was the food and margaritas. I think I’m in love...(street tacos and ask for the hot salsa).

Drinks were tasty and not watered down. Food was AMAZING. Quiet and had the place to ourselves. Service was top notch. You can't ask for better.
Jasmine Smith
Try their beans and rice! Both were so so good and tasted authentic. The service was very friendly and fast. Might be our new favorite.
Patsy Ramey
Awesome atmosphere and service. Food fresh and original. A step above other Mexican restaurants. Strongly recommend

Great restaurant! I was pretty bummed when the previous restaurant moved out but this has made up for it. Queso dip was a little thin...thats it. Get the carne asada!

We have been eating here on a regular basis sine they opened. They do a great job and the service and food are always the best.

We love this place and patron them at least twice a month. The wait staff is wonderful, we're always seated promptly and we've never had a dish we didn't like.

We decided to try this place on a whim since our daughter requested meatballs and this restaurant was conveniently close to our house. We were looked at a bit funny for bringing a 4 year old out to eat, but tried not to think much of it. Other than some slightly snooty employees, our food was good if not a bit overpriced. Will probably try another Italian spot before returning. Wish they would make the outside look a little less... Weathered...

Attitude is everything. We had been looking forward to experiencing Antonio's but never got to the food. We made a reservation but arrived 10 minutes early. The hostess seemed miffed and rather than saying "We'll seat you as soon as possible, please have a seat in the bar and enjoy a cocktail," we were sort of<br/>chadtized for being early. We watched as people who arrived late for their reservations walk past us to their table. After being seated we waited 10 minutes and a waiter never stopped by our table to say "I'll be right with you" so we left. All they had to do was treat us like they valued our patronage. Probably won't go back to try the food after feeling a bit disrespected.

What a disappointment. On the advice of a local (who takes her family here often) we tried Antonios. From the condescending "I'll see if there is any place to seat you" after replying that we didn't have a reservation to the poor service and long wait for our food our dinner was a disaster. Our wait person was perky and knowledgeable taking our order. Salads were brought as ordered. We sat, and sat and sat. After 25 minutes she came back to tell us our dinners would be out in 2 minutes. Another 15 minutes later the manager came by and said our dinners would be right out. Another 15 minutes later it was, with 5 steak knives for 2 steaks as if that made things right. We ate our average meals and sat while staff walked by our table, not picking up our dishes on their way to the kitchen. We should have gotten up and walked out, paying the manager as we left. She came with the dessert tray (!) and I asked for the bill. After another 10 minutes waiting for my credit card to be picked up we put on our coats and she came running over. I asked her what the problems were. She said everything was OK. I stopped by to talk to the manager who told me it was the waitperson's fault for not turning in our ticket. I also talked to him about my experiences with staff who help each other out-or not as is the case in this place. He told me he hoped we would come back again. Why would we when there are so many other wonderful places to eat where they treat you like a valued customer instead of the red headed step child? We were at a workshop so there are now 13 people and their friends and family who will be spreading the word that this is a place to avoid.

Very good salmon appetizer, very good service, shrimp was overdone, cannoli filling was dry. Scallops were generously sized, pasta and sauce was out of this world yummy. I will go back for sure.

Valentines Massacre. Valentines massacre is what I would call it. Expecting nothing but the great service we had gotten before was quickly squashed in one evening. After one and a half hours of arriving at our time of reservation, we still hadn't been served our meal. People that came in after we got our salads were already enjoying their choice of 6 meals for Valentine's day. My fiance and I were still waiting for the additional bread we asked for when the appetizer came out. Frustrated beyond belief we both got up searching for service in the crowded Italian restaurant. My fiancé asked the manager for help but told her to speak to someone else, I expect he was too busy to help the customer who pays his salary. We were apologized to and immediately told our meal were ready but we had enough and offered to pay for what we had eaten. Of course they said we didn't have to and apologized but it will never make up for the ruined Valentine's dinner. We had hoped for a great night and were very disappointed with the service tonight at Antonio's. I only hope they do something because we have gift cards, lol. Be warned people!

Experienced Diner. I have eaten here at Antonio's many times, and live in the area. On two occasions several years ago me and my date encountered rude and slow service, but I love the food. My favorite is pasta with their bolognese sauce.....their meat sauce cannot be beat here in Nashville. I have eaten at practically every high end or well regarded Italian restaurant in town and the bolognese at Antonio's cannot be beat. I had halibut one night, and though it was not cheap, it was delectable and melted in my mouth. The service can be a problem, depending on which waiter you get. They had a problem with rude wait staff and I stayed away from the place for two years after a bad experience. Waiter Bruce does a good job. Bartender has zero personality. I have seen comments to the hostess being rude, but she has always been pleasant to me. I eat there for the bolognese, and occasionally me getting outside of that favorite, I have been rewarded like the evening I had the halibut. Antonio is generally there cooking in the kitchen, and his son waits tables some evenings. He is extremely nice, which is why it surprises me that there have issues of his staff' being rude. He hails from Greece originally.

My husband and I got the specials: a New York strip and the halibut with no appetizers and 1 beer an our bill was $98.00. We usually never have a problem spending money on food however this was decent at best and I feel we could have gotten a 45 dollar steak at Kayne Prime and been blown away but this was a basic strip at best. We didnt even ask the price thinking most specials at a mid grade restaurant are like 32 bucks at most but whoa.... They sure think highly of themselves to price their specials so high. It's an average place at best.

Bev. A friend and I had dinner last evening at Antonio' s. our meal was great as always., but the service was poor and the menu just never changes. A great minestrone would be great for a change. Better listen to your critics,and show some improvements or goodbye to loyals.

Manger says No Bread until you turn in menu!. I am a regular at Antonio's in Bellevue and like it very much. I do wish the owner would update the restaurant and the menu, it would make it better and I think give Antonio's more business. It is a bit dated, yes it is and the pasta special never changes...that is not a special guys. I have heard this from several other regular customers. New menu items and the place a bit more modernized, we like Antonio's but it can be better after all these years of doing and looking the same. But, my last visit was unreal...I went with 3 other people and to begin the evening we ordered cocktails and an appetizer and requested bread with our appetizer. We asked that we keep our menus as we weren't sure what we were going to order for our entrees. We were told we could not have bread served until we turned in our menus...the "lady" does not like crumbs on the menus and the waiter could not serve us bread as long as we had our menus. HOW ABSURD.....can you believe we spend about $200 and we could not be served bread without turning our menus in first. Can we get our hands slapped too! This must mean Antonio's does not clean their menus, UGH. Not sure I am gong back and I am telling everyone I know the new rule, Bria looks better each day.

Service starts at the front door. My wife and I have always enjoyed dining here in the past as a date night. We liked the atmoshere and the food has always been excellent. Our most recent experience at the front door resulted in us just turning around and dining elsewhere. We've gotten used to being asked if we have reservations and we rarly do as it's never been crowded enough to need them. The hostess asked us and 2 other couples the usual question of reservations and all responded no. Wife had looked into the dining area and as usual there were plenty of tables. The hostess then proceeded to talk to herself about how this was a problem and wagged her head. At that point instead of it being a problem to spend $100 there we told her no thanks and left.

It's nice but . . .. Don't book a large party and expect to sit together.<br/><br/>My entire family decided to celebrate all of our October birthdays together this year and we decided to have this celebration at Antionio's. My sister-in-law called and made the reservation, let them know we were going to have 17-20 people having dinner and that this was a special celebration.<br/><br/>My wife and I got to the restaurant early and proceeded to wait as there were 2 other parties waiting for us. My wife asked the hostess if she could borrow her pen to write some quick notes in our birthday cards. The hostess sheepishly said that was the only pen they had and my wife could not borrow it for just a few moments. One of the other customers had to point out there was a pen in the guest book. <br/><br/>When the rest of our family arrived we were warmly greeted by another woman and then led to our table. When we were shown to where we were being sat it was in 3 separate tables that were in parallel. We went back to the hostess stand and asked if the tables could be moved so that we could all sit together. We were told in no uncertain terms that no, that would not happen. Thinking that maybe we didn't ask nice enough another member of our family went to the hostess stand and asked again and again we were told no, that she was sorry that she could not accommodate our request.<br/><br/>Since there was nowhere else to go with a party as large as ours and on short notice we decided we had no other choice but to eat there. The service ended up being slow for most of us, my check was incorrect, a bottle of wine my sister-in-law wanted to pay for ended up on my bill, all the while ever time we asked if this would cause an issue, can this be done we were assured that it wasn't a problem, it was taken care of and that it was their pleasure.<br/><br/>Bottom line, we spent a lot of money and were treated poorly. If you want to look like a big spender take your date, girlfriend or wife here. If you want to celebrate with your family and it's more than 8-10 people STAY AWAY!

Manager sure didn't like customers using Groupons. Recently, I met a friend for a drink at Antonio's. When we sat down, we were asked by the person tending the bar (we later found out he was the manager) what we would like to drink. I ordered a wine and my friend asked for a beer. All the time he was getting our drinks, he was on the phone talking with customers about their Groupons which were expiring in a couple of days. He was rude and then would hang up and be rude to us. At that point he didn't know I also had a Groupon I planned to use for dinner that evening. I ended up asking Groupon for a refund. My friend felt very uncomfortable and we left before we finished our drinks. <br/>I have enjoyed dining at Antonio's for over 6 years and have always thought highly of their tenured staff. However, this behavior marked a new chapter with me and I'll think twice before dining with them again. It's a shame. I really liked their delicious Italian food.

Excellent dishes. I really like Antonio's food and atmosphere!! We enjoy each time we eat there and like most all the food and desserts.

The Best in Nashville. Take advantage of the early bird menu before 6pm. The Cappelini alla guidea (sp?) is great. Their Caesar salad is one of the best I have ever had. Professional staff. I love that place.
Ll.wilson
Consumer. I think this is one of nashville's best kept secrets! the sauces are simple yet complete, not too fussy. the flavor is exquisite! they have an early bird special from 5p-6p but do call and ask the time since i might be wrong. <br/>at first the place seemed stuffy to me but as the yrs go by and frequent dining has happened there i have to say it is by far my favortie itallian restuarant in all of nashville.
Winerep
I must say that this was one of the best places I've eaten here in Nashville. Food was wonderful, service was spot on and the atmoshphere is very well designed. Only thing to be careful about is that a Caeser salad is an extra $5 because they consider it a "speciality" salad (hmmm at an Italian restaurant) and the cork fee is $20! That is the highest I've seen in a long time. But overall I am definetly going back. Just not drinking and having the house salad.

Great Food, but need some new things. We've been dining at Antonio's for over 14 years. The food is excellent...but the menu has never changed. If I hear "our special tonight is shrimp bisque in a bread bowl..." one more time! Seriously please add some new things to the menu.

Delicious and Outstanding. This is a top-quality, well-established Italian restaurant. All meals freshly cooked. Delicious bread. Perfect desserts. Sophisticated atmosphere. Great destination for a date, an anniversary or another special occasion.<br/><br/>Prices are very reasonable for the food quality.<br/><br/>My wife and I live nearby and dine here several times a year. Never disappointed.
