Our group wanted to experience a good meal in our pass through Boston. This location is not the easiest for parking but everyone (including picky eaters) were very happy with the choices. We were seated and served promptly and the food was delicious! For out of towners: Mass General parking garage is only a few minutes away and not prohibitively expensive!

So yummy and authentically Italian. What a treat to our visit from Texas. The cannolis, chocolate mousse and cheesecake were so delicious! Friendly staff and accommodating. Thank you!

Highly recommend Antonio’s for lunch or dinner. Fantastic location in the city between Beacon Hill and TD Garden.
Fresh pasta. Red sauce was very tasty. Gnocchi perfectly cooked. Arancini as an appetizer a must.
Warm and friendly staff. Felt like a much more authentic and enjoyable dining experience than some other restaurants I’ve dined at in the North End.

I cannot rave enough about this restaurant! The food was absolutely spectacular! THE best ravioli lobster with a lot of filling and the sauce was amazing! We also had the meatball and they were amazing! The pasta is homemade and it tastes amazing! The staff was really great and the service was quick & efficient

Delicious food but a horrible experience. We made a reservation for 6:30 and got there a few minutes early. The restaurant was busy and our table was ready for us. We quickly ordered drinks and food and everything was out within 20 minutes. After receiving our food the wait staff came over many times asking if we were done when it had only been a few minutes. After finishing our dinner the receipt was quickly thrown on our table (only 33 minutes after arriving). We then asked if we could have coffee and were told no at first they are not serving “that stuff tonight”, and then yes a few minutes later. We enjoyed our drinks for a few minutes and then were told we had to leave and were out of time. We were there for a total of 68 minutes. The tables around us had been there much longer and were never once rushed. It seemed they chose us because all the other tables were older couples and and were a group of girls in our late 20s. For whatever reason it was very rude of them and caused for us to chug alcoholic beverages before returning into a busy city. We hadn’t seen each other in 6 years and were just trying to catch up for the holidays. They need to control their reservations and availability if they plan to continue their business.

Antonio’s Cucina Italiano: Cozy Ambiance with a Mixed Dining Experience
Antonio’s Cucina Italiano in Beacon Hill exudes a dark and cozy charm, creating an intimate atmosphere perfect for a quiet evening. The dim lighting adds to the ambiance, making it a suitable spot for a relaxed dining experience.
While the food was okay, it didn’t quite hit the mark of greatness. The menu had its highlights, but the overall culinary journey left me with mixed feelings.
On a positive note, the servers were friendly and attentive, enhancing the overall dining experience.
While Antonio’s may not become my regular haunt, I wouldn’t be opposed to revisiting once in a while, perhaps for the inviting ambiance and the occasional craving for their fare.

Antonio’s was an amazing stop on our Boston food tour. We went in on a whim and stayed for the service, hospitality and food. Evelyn, Ralph and the rest of the staff were welcoming and helpful.
If the arancini are available, get them. The bolognese with house made fusilli noddles was also incredible. The food was so good we went back the next day for more wine, appetizers and to speak with the staff again. We went in as strangers and left as friends.
Please don’t miss this gem if you’re in the Beacon Hill part of Boston.

Staff was great and the atmosphere was solid. Bread was eh. Pasta and meatballs were eh. Not enough sauce. The pasta was practically naked. No flavor. Tortellini pesto wasn’t seasoned and tasted blande. We expected better from an Italian restaurant. The limoncello tasted lovely. The fried mozzarella appetizer tasted good, but it didn’t taste restaurant authentic.
