Anthony's

We went here for the first time since its change from the Porch and it was fine, but a little underwhelming. We had tried to make a reservation but since there didn't seem to be a way online and nobody ever answered the phone when I called over two days, we did have to wait a little bit, but not the end of the world. We all ended up ordering a pasta and meatballs since we were apparently all in the mood for a traditional Sunday meal after a visit to the cemetery, and it was just okay. Me and my dad both ordered the gnocchi with meatballs and were a little disappointed with the gnocchi. They were fine, but a little chewy and the texture wasn't what we were expecting I think. We're definitely more potato gnocchi fans, and this just tasted like thick regular pasta. The meatballs were a little dry, but the leftovers I had today were better after soaking in the sauce. Sauce is very bland, so definitely ask for cheese and red pepper flakes. My mom enjoyed her food more since she's okay with bland. She got the cavatelli and meatballs and she had no complaints. The sangria drink on the cocktail menu was good and refreshing though. The cannoli was pretty good, maybe a touch too sweet but definitely not the worst one I've ever had. We would probably go back after a funeral or something, but we definitely missed the Cascatta cafe after this meal.

Spent the day shopping with a friend and she mentioned getting dinner at Anthony's (this was on a Sunday). I am not from the area so I had never heard of it before but I am always ready for Italian food!We got there early for dinner and we didn't have a reservation. They were able to seat us right away. It's a nice place.The service was wonderful. The food was excellent and I would definitely go back!I enjoyed the Caesar salad and the small eggplant Parmesan. It was perfect for me for dinner!

I attended an event at Anthony's in their banquet area. This section was blocked off from the reaturant, had a seperate entrance, and own bartender which was really nice. There was some confusion upon driving here because of the name. Some people said Anthony's, others said Anthony's Lamb. This section of the establishment was beautiful and looked to have been redone! The waitstaff worked very quickly to take orders, get food out, and clear plates. These 2 women worked extremely hard! The table bread was excellent and the crab cakes were very good. The sides with the crab cake dinner were pretty bland unfortunately. There was an open bar with tips recommended but sadly as the dinner went on the bartender almost seemed annoyed. Very much taking his time to get around to your drink order. It was very odd as everyone was generously tipping him! Overall a beautiful space for a private event but I would need an upgrade on food and the bartender if I were to come back again!

Where Anthony's absolutely crushes it is the ambiance. It's very clean, it's really nice, the staff are all dressed very well, the tables and chairs are comfy, the lighting is good, the music is spot on... it has the look of a restaurant you'd expect to pay a lot of money to visit, but the prices are honestly pretty reasonable. Maybe a little higher than your standard fare? But certainly within a range you'd expect.Really liked the sesame seed bread and the baked clams. These were my favorite dishes. I liked the chef special of fried tomatoes. I ended up with the seafood dish in the spicy marinara. It was pretty good. It didn't blow my doors off. But it was a massive bowl of food. I had it for dinner and then took the rest home and had it for lunch the next day. Worth it for that reason alone.Service was fine. Maybe a little slow? That's to be expected in a local establishment, I think. Our servers kept getting interrupted by people (regulars?) at the bar. It is what it is.All in all, a solid 4* restaurant. I'll be back.

Pros: The bar area where we were originally seated was very loud, but they were pleasant and accommodating in moving us to a quieter table. The young man who filled our water was attentive, and our waitress was competent. Cons: The window wall where we were seated was filthy. My plate of lobster ravioli was not wiped clean and the sauce was congealed, which made it seem like it had been sitting for a while. The lobster was minimal. The cheese on the veal dish was also congealed and too heavy. Maybe they were too busy on a Friday? Even so, we won't be back very soon.

Great Food! The spaghetti and crab taste great, the baked clams are amazing. The server we had was sub-par, I don't remember her name, not sure she told us? We had to ask for basic items, it was painful. The competition is fierce... please fix the customer service end of your restaurant.

Anthony's is a Springfield landmark Italian restaurant!Big place great for parties & groups, yet alsoIntimate for dinner for 2!I love to start out with the Clams Casino or Baked clams & follow that up with the Breaded Veal Chop Sinatra! It is a thing of beauty!

Great atmosphere, service, however, I am not Italian and think I can make less bland sauce at home and have done so. It was underwhelming for the price you pay.

I've been here twice and the food was great both times. Based on the variety of orders from everyone I was with I'd go as far as to say the entire menu is delicious! The service is friendly and made sure everything came out correctly. The ambiance is also quite nice and comfortable. There are a few connected rooms so it is big but the spaces are separate enough that it feels small. I'd recommend the chocolate moon cake for dessert!

Had birthday dinner veal picante it was excellent. Another person had wings and clam and a white sauce. It look great, but clams over cook, tough and pasta was undercooked and white sauce, better description should water and olive oil. Say least for premium dollars, owners steal a patron money. Beside the fact nobody knows how set a table.ambience was very good, it's too bad. The Koch staff in the waitstaff are incompetent. It was a shame.Truly management think there for is great but one step from the trash can. I being generous in my comment.
