Another poor experience. Arrogant door guy who was maybe a manager or owner was rude and dismissive until he realized I wanted a $200 bottle of wine. Did he change his tune then. I was truly lost to any fake charm at this point. Dry chicken with gummy mushroom sauce that looked anything but fresh, overcooked steak, and scallops. Pasta truly horrible and sauce not any better. Arrogant door guy should be ashamed of putting this meal on the table and then charging people for it. I really liked my wine.
My wife and I live close by so we decided to go for lunch on a Friday afternoon. We were seated by a waitress who was very pleasant and took care of us nicely throughout the meal. We were surprised that there was no lunch offerings and had to pick from the regular evening menu. A basket of delicious bread was brought. Call me uncultured but I prefer butter on my bread as opposed to the olive oil that was provided. We shared an appetizer of the Calamari Fritti, partly because it was lunch, but also because it was $11. I love calamari and I am well aware that it can easily be overcooked but this was underdone and the coating was mushy. It was not helped by the dipping sauce that was very bland. Sorry but a lemon d'iablo aioli should have a kick to it. My wife ordered the gnocchi with figs and apples. It was a nice combination and she enjoyed it. I had the ravioli tre colori with ricotta and spinach and though obviously homemade and very colourful it was truly awful. The pasta was chewy. Not al dente but tough and there was so little of the bland filling that the ravioli looked like little pancakes. The so called cognac cream sauce was tasteless and gummy and did nothing to enhance the flavour of the dish. I wouldn't call this a bad meal but it was disappointing. We had one appetizer and two no meat pasta dishes, drank water and our lunch with tax and tip came to $60. That is acceptable when the offerings are good but this was a very middle of the road meal. On a Friday at lunch there was only 4 tables with 8 diners in total. This is a small restaurant in a generic strip mall in northwest Brampton serving fairly simple food. I don't mind paying for good food but I left this restaurant feeling let down. Judging by the lack of diners when we visited and noticing a less than full house when we drive by their large picture windows in the evening I would suggest the owners do a reality check. Either bring your prices to a more realistic level or do better than serving average food.
Great Food! Our server was really nice, really friendly. it was our first time visiting this restaurant after reading some good reviews on here. The service was a little slow to begin with, and it took about 10 minutes for someone to take our drink order. It was busy but not that busy. Our Calamari came with no lemon, so our server gave us a free drink. After that the service was great, the food was really good! The lemon veal was so good, very tender. All the food is made fresh to order. The fetticiune alfredo was great..the sauce wasn't too heavy. We will for sure be going back soon!
We were a party of 10, including vegetarians. Everyone left happy! The atmosphere was great. The service was exceptional (we felt as though we were the only ones in the restaurant, and we were treated with great attention). The food was excellent as well. One person said the lobster was dry, and it should have been served with warm butter, but it mustnt have been a big deal as I noticed she finished it all. Another person said the steak wasnt cooked properly (ordered medium, got medium well), but again - it was all gobbled down! With wine and drinks (maybe two drinks each) we paid about $70 per person (for two drinks each, appetizer, salad and entree; we did not have coffee or dessert). Overall we had a great time and will return!
My husband and I have been to Antica many times now and everything has been excellent. I don't know about the other reviews where the "owner" was yelling at the staff - we have never experienced that at all in any of our visits. Quite shocking to read actually, as our experience was the owner quieting down an irrate customer who was very obviously trying to get a free meal! The owner was excellent and even made a point of apologizing to us for the interruption and giving us dessert on the house. The kitchen is impeccibly clean, the staff wonderfully friendly, knowledgeable and the food is outstanding. If you're going out for a meal - go there - you won't be disappointed!!
