“ Exceptional Italian restaurant in Fayetteville area. We were passing by on our way south and we're attracted to the nice decor and crowd of people outside. Walked in without a reservation sat at the bar. Francesca, the bartender was so friendly and suggested a few of the popular items to try. The stuffed shrimp scampi was one of the best I've had. The meatball appetizer was so delicious - meatballs were so tender and sauce perfect. Also shared a salad. DianeV. Feb 2025 ”
“ I discovered this place last and had to come in and try it. The food is excellent, the sweet and spicy calamari was by far the best calamari I have ever had. The short ribs were melt in your mouth tender with amazing flavor. Service was excellent, the staff were friendly and very attentive. The food was hot and served quickly. The ambiance was excellent. The large front windows allowed a great view of Hay street and the people walking by. They also help expand the smaller seating area, making it feel much larger than it is. Unfortunately it was too windy to use the outside dinning area but that would definitely be a choice in better weather. ”
“ A perfect spot for a date night! This place has a great vibe. And they may have the best dinner in Fayetteville. ”
“ Loved the ambiance, service was good, and the food was GREAT! I highly recommend the meatballs and cheese appetizer, and the Margarita pizza was the best I've ever had, no exaggeration. We will definitely be back to Antonella's asap! ”
“ Delicious food, great service thanks to Tiffany!) My boyfriend absolutely loved the music choices. We will come here again! ”
“ I absolutely love Antonella's! The food is always fresh and delicious, and the atmosphere is so cozy. I've had everything from their pasta to their pizza, and it's always on point. It's the perfect spot for a casual night out or even a special dinner. ”
“ The food here is spectacular, me and the wife make it our go to place when in the mood for delicious Italian food. The service they provide is phenomenal, the waiter is always up to date on the menu and is able to suggest recommendations. It's in a little small restaurant with limited sitting space but definitely wonderful ambience for a wonder date experience with delicious food. ”
“ Lovely Italian restaurant with a very professional and courteous staff. My wife had the frutti de mare and had the pork chop. My wife thought her dish was excellent and I very much enjoyed the chop though it would have been perfect with a little sauce. The portions are generous and the prices are very fair. It was noisy when we first arrived with several big tables celebrating events but by 7:30 it was almost all 2 tops and very quiet. We very much enjoyed our dining experience ”
“ Yummy in my tummy pasta. Friendly wine list. The penne vegetarian was stellar. Look for the portrait of the owner in the hallway. Global family gusto. If dining alone, be sure to not eavesdrop on locals on dates. Okay? ”
“ My best friend and I came here for dinner during the Dogwood Fest (2024), and waited about 20 minutes for a table outside. We had Sinclair as our server, and he was great! The food was delicious, from the sweet spicy calamari to the (vegan) penne toscana. The chocolate cake was not my favorite, but it was good to taste it. Sitting outside is so nice- the vibe was cool & downtown-esque. Very nice! Would love to return when I'm back in town for a night out. ”
