Everything was wonderful, as it was at Bacco. Pork Osso Bucco was absolutely wonderful. And the brides said her special birthday dessert was the best!

Dining at Anthony's is like going home! From the personal attention at the bar to the special appetizer (an amazing stuffed artichoke). Our main causes and the imaginative combination of sides topped off the night. This is kind of place that once you eat there you just can't wait to tell your friends or even better bring your friends.

We were seated in the wine room which was spacious, attractive, and comfortable. I had a pomegranate martini (delicious) and the salmon special. The salmon was tender and flavorful, and came with crispy roasted potatoes that were perfectly seasoned and nice sautéed green beans. We had a bread basket with two or three kinds of bread and a small scoop of an herbed butter. Dessert was a decaf cappuccino (mmm) and a lovely milk chocolate gelato with a dab of whipped cream. The service was excellent. Highly recommend!

It’s been a little over a year since I have been in the restaurant. Everything was great! The food was superb. The white staff were professional and attentive. The valet, hostess, and bus staff were all very friendly and helpful. If you choose to eat here, you’re making a great choice.
