Antonio’s Bar & Trattoria

We’ve been here several times over the past two years and are never disappointed. The restaurant area is small but they manage to pack quite a few people in. Their drink menu is great if you’re interested in cocktails and martini’s in particular. The food and drinks are good but don’t plan on going there if you’re in a hurry, the service is very nice but pretty laid back. If you’re heading to Antonio’s plan to be there for quite some time and enjoy.

Great food. Rigatoni alla vodka, veal, ravioli bolognese, lemon shrimp risotto and mussels are all tremendous! Make a reservation if you have a large party though.

Ahi tuna was simply phenomenal. Quiet, friendly service and incredibly tasty salad with grilled shrimp.

I’ve known about this place for a little while now but I don’t get out to Endicott too often. I offered to take a friend of mine out for her birthday and this was the place she picked, and it was also her first time here. We both heard mixed reviews but in the end we both had a pretty good experience.
We each started off with a cocktail, she got the biscotti one and I got some sort of margarita, both of which were made with house made gelato. We traded sips and both of them were great! I’m usually disappointed when I get cocktails anywhere anymore but these were very good. You’re going to get a sugar rush before you get drunk off one, but they were still a great way to start off the meal.
We each ordered a pizza too. I got just a plain one and overall i thought it had a very good flavor. the cheese was interesting, it was a little creamier than usual mozz but it worked out great. The sauce was also very good, it was a little sweet with enough seasoning to make it stand out. The dough had a nice neutral bread flavor, but I wish it was stretched a little different, the crust was huge but the part with the sauce and cheese on it was super thin and floppy. The pizzas are on the small side, and I don’t think they use a wood fired oven, but it was still good. I would like to try a regular entrée next time, but I would definitely like to have their pizza again.
The restaurant itself is on the small side but it’s pretty nice on the inside, not too upscale but a little nicer than casual. I’ve seen a lot of complaints on here about the service but I had zero issues with it, our server was nice and the busser kept a good eye on our waters and was quick with refills. the prices were about what I was expecting, $ 50 for 2 pizzas and 2 drinks
All in all I had a very pleasant experience, if you’re hesitant about going, give it a shot.

Pleasantly surprised by a recent trip here. I had heard it was decent but nothing special so i was glad to be proven otherwise. It’s a cute little space that’s perfect for first dates. I think a lot of people go to get a drink and decide if it’s worth sticking around for a second date. I could see how there could be excellent people watching here. The cocktail menu is extensive — in fact it is larger than the food menu! Many classic drinks, martinis, and dessert type drins made with their delicious gelato.
I had a biscotti martini that was delicious. It was made with amaretto gelato and topped with cookie crumbs. Yum! For food, my friend and I both got pizzas. They were on the smaller, thinner side, kind of like woodfired ones, but I don’t think they are. I got the Gorgonzola pizza, which was gorgonzola, mozzarella, roasted red peppers, caramelized onions & spinach. I actually didn’t taste any gorgonzola, but it was still really good. Could have used a touch more spinach, too. I really liked the crust — nice and aiy with a little chew. My friend ordered the marinara pizza and I thought that was really good too. Nice and cheesy and the sauce had a good flavor.
Service was fine. The place is really small, but didn’t feel crowded. Prices seemed on point, too. I’ll go back!

I had a great dinner date here recently after another Italian place was all booked and had to choose this place. I’m glad I accidentally stumbled upon this place. The shrimp risotto I had was delicious, flavorful, and very shrimpy! Yum! My significant other ordered the chicken panini, which she quickly became a fan of. The affordable glass of wine complimented the food very well. The waitress was cordial and helpful. But to top it all off, the selection of gelato is more than enough to make this place a must go in town. I’m going back for that gelato when this winter weather turns and summer comes back.

I may have misunderstood this establishment… I’m assuming it is more for having a few late-​night drinks rather than getting a good meal. Two of my friends raved about this place and finally took me there for dinner. We arrived at 6:00 p.m. We were the only customers there. During the 70 minutes we spent there, only one other person came in – he sat on the couch behind us, opened his computer and typed away. That was it – prime dinner time and no one else was in the restaurant. So I guess this is more a late-​night drink place? Someone tell me if I guessed right. The food wasn’t anything special, and the prices were not low. With Consol’s across the street, and Oaks Inn just up the street and Tony’s a five minute drive away I’m not sure why anyone would go here for food. Which might explain why no one came in to eat while I was there.

The dessert martinis draw me back to this place every time I visit endicott. They are so delish! I would recommend the crème brûlée and coco Chanel.

Great drinks, great seasoned bartender. Nice to have someone who isn’t a college kid and knows the difference between a Cabernet and merlot. Only have had apps and they were good. Good reason lay priced and easy parking.

Went here for some drinks on Valentine’s Day with my girlfriend. Cool atmosphere and vibe from this place. Bartender and owner were both very friendly. I Was just going to have a beer and kick back but my girlfriend convinced me to get Martinis with her. It was a great choice! Bartender recommended a few favorites. I got the red velvet and cream brûlée Martinis. Both had gelato in them and they were delicious! I would like to come back and try the food out soon!

I ordered takeout from here for my family. From placing the order to pickup the staff were very helpful and courteous! Now for the food i ordered Antonio’s salad, gnocchi Napolitano, and the Gorgonzola pizza. Everything was delicious, fresh and well prepared. Definitely will try this place again! !

Whilst on my upstate-​vacay Miss Sarit, her friend Leslie and I came here for some martinis. As if I needed any excuse to further progress toward alcoholism, this place makes their martinis with their own gelato! I had the lemon gelato martini and was blown away by how incredibly packed with flavor it was. Seriously, it’s of epic proportions.
I also tried some of Miss Sarits chocolate gelato martini, which was complex, dark and sinfully delicious.
We didn’t try the food, but with drinks as good as these I am sure their food must be way above average. Their customer service is something fierce — they take it seriously. We were greeted at the door, walked to the table, small talked and qualified for our drink selections to make sure we were happy with them. I can’t wait to come back to this gem!

We went here for New Years Eve and we loved it. We had a party of 12 and all of our food was the way it was ordered. I had the chicken Piccata and I must say that the mash that came with it was spot on. The beverages were really good and fairly priced. We will defiantly return here.

Their seasoned fries are delicious, however their service sucks. The afternoon server is good however once lunch comes around for endicott interconnect, IBM and BAE its terrible. There are so many people who come in and every time there is never enough coverage. If you plan on eating here in the afternoon, plan to make it at least an hour.
Also the server at night is possibly the worst. I called to ask what time they were open until, and I got a rude «you can look online for that, jesus. what else do you want?» Maybe it was just a bad day however I don’t appreciate someone answering the phone with an attitude.
It’s an okay place to go, I only go here out of convenience. If I lived any farther I wouldn’t come based upon how rude the employees are.

Fun for a girls night out!
A friend and I went to Antonio’s for dinner one evening after it had been recommended to me twice in one week. The drinks and food definitely lived up to the expectations!
They have a very extensive drink menu. I had a raspberry martini with dinner and a chocolate martini for dessert. Both were delicious! The «dessert» martinis often incorporate Antonio’s gelato giving it a creamy texture!
My friend raved about her vegetable panini and seasoned fries. I enjoyed salad with a homemade lemon vinegarette and the gnocchi. Everything was delicious and filling!
One word of caution — the service is extremely lacking sometimes.
My friend and I arrived at 4:30 p.m. We were warmly greeted by our initial server. She was very attentive and took great care of us. However, when her shift ended we were turned over to another server who was extremely slow and inattentive.
We sat with empty beverage glasses in front of us for nearly 15 minutes before she dropped the check off. We sat another 20 minutes waiting for her to come back once we had settled the bill. We had to bring it up to her to be taken care of, but then waited even longer. The bartender eventually took care of us, but was very rude about it.
I would definitely go back for the food and drinks, but depending on the time of day you go, you may want to consider sitting at the bar in hopes of getting more attentive service. My friend and I really enjoyed our server we had initially, so we have discussed going out that way for lunch sometime to avoid the evening service.

I recently hosted my sisters baby shower here. Antonio went out of his way to work with our budget and provide a shower with many options. Trista is extremely professional and attentive! The food was very good and reasonably priced. The gelato was the best I’ve ever had. Everyone loved the risotto cakes. Nice atmosphere and great staff!

Great NYC style café. Intimate setting, with great gelato, cocktails, and paninis. Jazz on the weekends. My wife and I had our first date here. A little more than a year later, it was the perfect setting to get engaged.

The service is horrible, besides one waitress who is extremely nice and attentive, although she is sometimes the bartender. Food is spotty, often takes an hour to receive and some other times it takes 5 minutes. Simple panini’s that are often undercooked and most of the time cold in the center.
Gelato is good, however is more like good flavored ice cream than it is traditional gelato.
Oh, and don’t bother for the drinks. They cost around 8 dollars and the couple that I have tried are nothing to write home about.

I have been bak 5 times hoping it improves. They just don’t get it. Service is slow, food sucks (really bad), Great building and location. Gelato is superior, tons of potential. Can’t wait till it goes out of business and someone else opens up in the space!!!
The other 5 star posts must be from the owners or employees…

I love Antonio’s Gelato! Plus, this is a great place to kick back with friends to enjoy a drink or a bite to eat. I’ve been here a number of times to have a meal with a friend. They serve lovely salads and sandwiches.
However, yesterday, my boyfriend and I were driving by and decided we were in the mood for some gelato. After we sampled nearly every flavor in the case, I settled on the Torrone and ate nearly half of his stracciatella! DELICIOUS! We kicked back on the couch and savored every last creamy, delicious little spoonful.
