12-19-2024 Stopped by this evening for dinner at Antonucci's. Sunny was the amazing server and had a terrific smile and excellent customer service. I started with a small cesar salad and a glass of Malbec. Sunny also brought out some fresh bread and once again was pleasant, kind and professional. The Ambiance was soft, quiet and positive. I ordered the spaghetti with marinara sauce, meatballs and sausage. Shay was also quite wonderful and brought out my entree nicely presented and she also offered some grated cheese which I gladly accepted. Shay was also pleasant, kind and a wonderful person. I sat alone reflecting on my mom who I lost two weeks ago and these two wonderful servers made my meal a pleasant experience and I so appreciated their kindness. Highly recommended Previous order:Ordered Italian dinner for mom and her caregiver to be delivered and they loved the food. I sent two bowls of minestrone soup, garlic bread and two different pasta dishes. My mom had the chicken fettuccine and her caregiver had the spaghetti with two meatballs and they raved about the food, service and of course the ambiance of mom's home. Highly recommended

After 3 years, I decided to revisit this Italian gem. Hard to believe it has been in our community for over 45 years. While wishing Bob the absolute best in Tennessee, in my opinion, the food quality, taste, service, prices and bar service and selections are better than I remember. The staff is very friendly and the service is great. And for those that know, if you find the right server, you can still get Bob’s favorite pasta (it’s not on the menu). I will once again be a regular.

My recent dinner at Antonucci's Italian & Seafood Restaurant was truly a delightful experience from start to finish. From the moment I stepped in, the ambiance set a wonderfully soft, quiet, and positive tone, making it easy to relax and enjoy my meal. The service was impeccable. My server was incredibly attentive, professional, and genuinely kind, always greeting me with a warm smile. They promptly brought out fresh, warm bread, which was a lovely start. Throughout the evening, the staff was truly wonderful, ensuring every need was met, even offering freshly grated cheese for my entree. Speaking of the food, it was simply delicious. I opted for the spaghetti with marinara sauce, meatballs, and sausage, and it was perfectly cooked and wonderfully flavorful. The presentation was also excellent, adding to the overall dining pleasure. While I didn't try the pizza this time, I've heard great things and will definitely be back to experience more of their menu. Antonucci's provides a fantastic local dining option with delicious Italian food and outstanding service in a pleasant setting. It's clear they prioritize their customers' experience. I highly recommend Antonucci's for anyone looking for a superb Italian meal in a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere. I can't wait to return!

The pizza with the pears on it is probably the best thing on the menu. Wouldn't be shocked if other food options are also too oily, with the orange liquid pooling st the bottom of your bowl/plate. The decor inside is cool, albeit slight millennial grey. The service is great, Amanda was attentive, friendly, and a joy. I'd recommend it for some Italian food. The Caprese salad is also good.

If you’re craving a bold twist on Italian classics, the Cajun Shrimp Pasta at this Italian restaurant delivers a flavor-packed experience that satisfies both comfort and spice lovers. The pasta is perfectly al dente, soaking up a luscious, creamy Cajun sauce with just the right kick—not overwhelming, but enough to keep your palate intrigued. Juicy shrimp are seared beautifully, adding a savory depth that pairs well with the smoky hints of the sauce. The addition of sautéed bell peppers and mushrooms provides a hearty texture and a slightly sweet contrast. Portion size is generous, presentation is inviting, and the herbs sprinkled on top offer a refreshing touch. It’s rich, indulgent, and ideal for anyone who enjoys fusion-style Italian cuisine with Southern flair.

First visit, old school, dated “Italian style” dining area, but appeared to be clean and neat. Excellent service provided by Lisa, friendly and pleasant. My spaghetti bolognese was good ($18), large serving, served hot, slightly spicy. The garlic bread was OK ($5), disappointed that there was no “table bread”. Lisa provided us with a complimentary tiramisu, as it was our first visit, very nice ! The restroom was very well worn and could use a remodel.

The service from Alex was very friendly and welcoming. The food was fresh and beyond delicious. The only thing that would make this experience top notch would be if the ac was on higher. It was uncomfortablely warm while eating. But the pizza was the best.
