"Located in a strip mall with ample free parking, Antica Trattoria 's decor has a cozy, authentic Italian feel with different textures and al fresco style paintings on the walls. There is some limited outdoor seating looks like seating left over from Covid days in the parking lot). The music was a little loud and non fitting, but the atmosphere was vibrant. The food was good and portions were generous. I always judge a restaurant by its bread and this restaurant had excellent bread! Very fresh and doughy I could have eaten the whole basket! The freshly made generous portion of tiramisu for dessert was also excellent. $13, May 2023) Service was swift and committed a few 'faux pas ' in my book. First, they removed my plate before my dining partner was finished and then the waiter verbally announced the list of desserts as said dining partner was still finishing eating their entree. We could only remember half of the desserts a paper dessert menu would have been appreciated). About 2 seconds after dessert was delivered, the bill was placed on the table without asking if we wanted coffee or anything else. I understand we had a 90 minute window in which to dine as is common nowadays in the USA), but we were well within that window. We would have appreciated not feeling rushed, particularly since it was Mother 's Day, a special occasion. That and slightly high prices were why I took off a star."

"I would only recommend this restaurant if your server is Jose. This was our 41st wedding anniversary and I was so looking forward to having dinner here. My husband and I have been here several times before for dinner and our server was always Jose. While they are known for slow service, Jose always checked with us if we needed anything or even to clean the crumbs off our table. The server we had on this particular occasion was awful! SHE delivered a pitcher of sangria with 2 glasses, which I did not ask for, I only wanted a glass of sangria. What happened was the person who seated us took our drink order and SHE may have misunderstood the order. Ok, so mistakes happen, however when I told her I only ordered a glass of sangria SHE walked away in a huff. It took her a good 5-6 minutes to return with my wine. Then we waited another 10 minutes for her to finally come back to take our meal order. SHE stands there with pen and pad in hand waiting, no What would you like? Or Good Evening, I am your server. And did not tell us the specials that were offered. I did not even know that there were specials until we finished our dinner and heard another server repeating the specials to the table next to us. SHE never checked to see if we needed anything, at any time during the meal, even though she passed us many times. So we decided to skip dessert, and pay the bill. Before leaving the restaurant, I did inquire if Jose still worked there which he does, it just happened to be his night off. Therefore, next time I will make a reservation requesting Jose as my server. By the way SHE was the only female server there."
