Antonio's Bayside Bistro

Honestly, all of these incredible ratings must be from friends and relatives. Words can not express how terrible the food is. A huge disappointment. I’d give them zero stars, on the food, if I could. Between the flies, wobbling table, dated decor and bread that can double as a hammer, please move on to another restaurant. The artichoke and spinach dip was the consistency of spinach baby food and tasted worse. The pita bread was ridiculously hard that came with it. My shrimp risotto should be renamed shrimp ‘salt’tto, all I could taste was salt. My husbands chicken fettuccine alfredo had rubber textured chicken. I kept apologizing to my son because I wanted to show him fine dining with water views. The view was there, but my suggestion would be to enjoy it from your car and skip e

Our waitress was great as well as the young man who diligently filled our water glasses and tended to us. Food was fresh and good but a little bland. I prefer a bit more fresh garlic with my Italian food. Overall we enjoyed ourselves and would definitely recommend. The calamari Fra diavolo had a ton of calamari and it was prepared well. I also really liked the eggplant parm. One more slice of eggplant would have been perfect.

I absolutely loved this restaurant. High end but not over the top as it’s in front of the lake and people can dress comfortably. The food was exquisite. Italian wines. Prices reasonable for the place and food. It has outdoor seating. The view is spectacular. The service was on point

Excellent location! Beautiful view of Dunham’s bay. Since it is an Italian restaurant I won’t rate the sub par appetizers. We ordered 3 true Italian entrees. 1. Gnocchi Bolognese: I am super critical of this dish since my mother is from Bologna. They should absolutely 100% sure remove this from the menu. The gnocchi were fine, however their version of the Bolognese sauce was not edible. It resembled the taste of Chef Boyardee. Absolutely a horrendous attempt at a Bolognese sauce; barely even cooked. I wonder if it came right from a jar?? 2. Shrimp Risotto: the shrimp were actually cooked perfectly first grilled and placed over the dish; very nice touch. The flavor of the risotto broth/sauce was average. The rice was crunchy. I like al dente pasta, but not appropriate for rice in risotto. 3

BEST Italian food out there!! The ambience, the food, the view, everything is amazing. A one of a kind dinning experience. 110% recommend it to anyone!!! We ordered the Linguine “Bayside” and Nonna’s, both were so flavorful and my favorite the ricotta pistachio cake for dessert!
