Great atmosphere, great service, and outstanding food. Probably the best Italian food in the area. Will definitely go back.

Wonderful dinner at Palazzo, they never disappoint. We have been there for birthday, anniversary and holiday meals. The food and service is always top notch. We had their clambake and the clams were delicious, so good that we split an additional dozen. The clam chowder was a little thinner than I am accustomed to but still very nice. The chicken dinner was also very nice with crispy chicken skin and moist meat. I am not a sweet potato person but actually ate and enjoyed the mashed sweet potatoes. Dinner included a whole ear of corn vs the usual 4-inch piece. The other clam bakes options were steak or lobster which I am sure would have been nice, but we never finish a clambake dinner. Experience has taught us that leftover steak or lobster does not make sense but leftover chicken is still very nice.

Went to Bright Side for a birthday celebration with friends and had a fantastic time. Wait staff was great and the food was delicious. My friend is vegan so we are sometimes limited in where we can go but we did not have a problem there.

Absolutely incredible food and service! My fillet and Seabass, with a side of homemade pasta and red sauce was out of this world! An Italian restaurant known for its homemade pasta and sauces really comes through with the steaks and fish as well. What a gem!

We live in Avon and rediscovered Antica. The food and wine are what has brought us back. Every meal has been amazing, paired with wine of course. Staff is great as well

    Josh was our waiter. He made everything nice right from the beginning value of the food for the dollar you spend as well worth it. Their menu is extensive. The portions are plenty and the service was great. I can’t think of any reason not to go to this fabulous restaurant.
