It has been over a year since we've been to Villa Antonio. But, last time we went it was very good - both food and service. The Tiramasu is some of the best we have ever tasted.

The Worst in Charlotte! Don't waste your time and more especially your money at Villa Antonio! I've had some bad meals in Charlotte and this place is the worst. The food was dreadful. The "cook" at this place knows only one seasoning and its salt. We went with friends from overseas and we were very embarrassed. The appetizers were luke warm and unimaginative. My wife’s friend had mushroom soup that was worse than that from a cheap can, again loaded with the "cooks" favorite seasoning. Salt! And Luke warm. The "Fruitte de Mer"entree was awful. Large scallops and shrimps that were tastless, the lobster was shriveled and again the whole dish was over way over salted. My wife had a pasta and chicken dish that was overcooked and looked as if it was put together by a 10 year old. She tried a few bites and abandoned it. My friend had a veal chop that he somewhat enjoyed but again the potatoes were plated a while before the veal therefore was cold. What is with the ornate plate lids that look like German WW 1 helmets! Anytime I have seen those is in VERY fine restuarants, when they lift the lids and say VOILA! It’s usually followed with gasps of approval, not here! The lids should have been left on the plates. The next lids that this food will see are the lid of a garbage can. We first tried to eat at Villa Antonio on a Saturday night six months ago. We were informed that the wait was 45 minutes so we decided to sit at the bar. They forgot about us although there were tables open throughout our wait at the bar, so we left and went elsewhere. The wait staff was not over friendly until we sent an entree back. I wish that this had happened this time but no we made a reservation and when we got there the place was nearly empty, big surprise.............if they keep putting out food like what we had it will not be long before they are out of business.

Grew up in New York and relocated to Charlotte 5 years ago. I have had decent pizza in Charlotte, but this pizza brings me back.

Johnny Brusco's is a great place for families. The pizza, calzones and stromboli are fantastic. Crisp crust, homemade sauce and quality toppings make it our go-to pizza place. The service is friendly and the atmosphere is casual and comfortable (a ...

I love landmark's breakfast specials, their service is excellent, except for one older waitress. I have tried her three different times, she acts like she doesn't like african american people or just me. I have complained to the manager. I will still ...

Dissatisfied! I love Italian food, but I believe this did not rank among the best. The food was alright but not worth another visit.
