Came here for a double-date night and had a blast! The ambiance is cozy and a bit dim which is what I love for a nice dinner. The bread, drinks, food, and service was great! Everything came out very quickly and was delicious. We split a caesar salad, and I got the clam pasta w/ the white wine oil and it was delicious. Everyone else I was with also enjoyed their meals thoroughly as well. I would recommend getting a half-portion of their pasta (which they offer), as that was more than enough for one person. Will be returning!

Great food, atmosphere and staff. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Food was very good and all homemade. Love the fact it is on the corner so you can see the town

I had a surprise 70th birthday for my husband at Antonia's in Hillsborough, NC. Brian Pearson was an outstanding host. From a sit-down dinner with drinks, appetizers, main course, and desserts. The staff were amazing and accommodated our guests with grace. I would absolutely recommend Antonia's for the future as a party venue. I give them 5 STARS

Waffle with whipped cream and strawberries was perfect. Omelette (make your own) was cooked perfectly. They serve their special potatoes with almost everything. Attentive service made our Sunday morning fun. Beautiful local art for sale on the walls- or just to enjoy. Best brunch in Hillsborough!

Had a good experience at Antonia's! HUGE food portions-- be prepared to take some to go! Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. It was a great environment to spend an afternoon lunch with family before walking around the cute downtown area of Hillsboro.

The spaghetti Marcella so heavenly. I going to dream about it, it was so good. Service was very attentive. Unfortunately this likely the last time we visit North Carolina. Ambiance was a bit loud but it's a small area otherwise good

We enjoyed our dinner so much we made a reservation for a Sunday brunch the next morning! The menu offers a wide variety of options and features specials for drinks, starters and meals. The service was extraordinary and a huge thank you for accommodating our party of 6. The seating area indoors is split into two rooms with intimate seating. There are also limited outdoor tables in front of the restaurant. I enjoyed the pimento BLT for brunch that paired well with a mimosa. Thank you for the great service and delicious food!

Yummy lunch spot with great service! They had a fun selection of cocktails - I had a lavender drop! The half sandwich and salad lunch deal was such a great deal! I had the Calabrian pimento cheese sandwich and side salad with ranch. Both were delicious.

Great spot! Friendly service, yummy food and mocktails. I enjoyed the fresh bread and olive oil spread, then the waiter shared about the daily specials. I decided to go with the strawberry poppyseed salad special and add salmon. Yummm! Also loved the sweet lavender lemonade. My friend loved her cherry smash mocktail as well. For dessert, we opted for the trio! It includes Mexican chocolate gelato (the daily flavor), a bourbon creme brûlée and tiramisu. Yasssss The inside features some fantastic art as well!
