Delicious Food, great quality, authentic. Eaten here many times. Highly recommend. If the Gorgonzola gnocchi is on the menu, be sure to try it! Love this place!

My fiance and I had the best meal in a long time at Antico! The servers were super knowledgeable and the chef came out to check on us. When he was at our table he explained how he made some of our favourite dishes. Although he made it sound easy I know that the food would have taken a long time to prepare. The layers or flavour were unbelievable!! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone!!

Knowing I have celiac disease they made me a mouthwatering lemon chicken with gluten free pasta. Great service.

Oh dear this restaurant I gave it a 2 star because the service was great but the food was bad. It was recommended from the hotel we stayed in. There was a wedding that evening while we pick up our food. I order fettuccine alfredo with chicken, penne arrabiata and ravioli. First the fettuccine didn’t have the chicken and its tasteless, arrabiata sauce looks and taste from the canned tomatoes, ravioli I’ll stop right now. I have been to many Italian restaurants but this was I don’t know for a $100 worth of food we should have gone to a chinese restaurant. We end up buying subway sandwiches that evening. we throw away the food that’s how bad it was.

Pickerel with fry leaks and lobster ravioli. One of the best dishes one can have. Very exquisite and sophisticated plate.

Vesna Pejic

Always a pleasure to go back and see Art. A place to go for a beautiful meal prepared with love and care. Hospitality at it’s best.

Damian Bartolomucci

Excellent restaurant with amazing food and service. Looking forward to coming back again

Karys Hughes

Best food ever!!! Amazing service. I’m about 3 months late on my review but I still think of this place. Stopped here on our cross country travels. My 6 year old said it was the best spaghetti he has ever had and that I need to learn to make that way. Lol. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Deanna Seaton

Loved our dinner. It was a real experience. Can't wait to go again. ❤️

Lorina Zappacosta

Awesome food.... staff and place

Sasha Lyon

I've eaten here a few times and loved it, but by far the best meal I've had was was this past Winter, March 2019... It was a Wednesday evening, so not packed, there was an Octopus Salad special for starters and a Lamb Shank with my name on it. Seriously, probably one of the best Lamb main courses I have ever eaten! Fall of the bone delicious and the pasta! I defy anyone to complain about the pasta! Excellent!

Helen McKiernan

To sit and watch a highly qualified and recognized chef in action is a treat and then to indulge in his successful masterpieces makes the whole evening an occasion worth sharing.

Katrina Sativa

One of the best restaurants. We are always treated like family here, and the food is the best in town

John Ger

If you are looking to have your taste buds reawakened this is the place to go. Suttle sweet savory. An experience to watch good food preparation. The sites, sounds and smells. DELISH! ????

I am from Chicago. I went up to Canada for a few hours after the mini on the Mack event in Michigan. I found this on yelp and decided to try it out. It was worth it. Salad was nice and crispy with home dressing. Calamari was crispy and tasty. I had the chicken with beef ravioli. Beef ravioli was so flavorful! Chicken was tender and fully cooked. The sauce it was cooked in permeated throughout. It was truly enjoyable. The building looks like a house that the first floor was remodeled into a restaurant. Do not let it detract you. The food is top notch. Meals range from $20-$35. Not cheap, but the flavor of the food and service are great.

Cris MacIntosh

What a wonderful spot to make memories with your family. My foodie cousin was very excited to make reservations and introduce us to this spot while we visited the Soo. The service was so friendly and very helpful. We had 10 people and had a blast! Bottles of wine on the table, antipasto and every scallop dish on the menu (and specials). The presentation and taste! Wow! I had the featured seafood risotto...not a single grain of rice was left. I'm not a huge risotto person because it can often be dry or too rich. This was perfection. It was fresh, light but full of flavour. And the gorgeous lobster tails didn't hurt ;) My mom had the gnocchi dish....wow again!

Don Oliver

Fantastic meal. Great friends and good times

Frank Kment

You will Never leave this place hungry or disappointed. The food and staff are amazing

Derrick Brewer

Great food and awesome service

Yasir Malik

We got the name of Antico from our AirBnB host. We were celebrating a birthday and the meal was for for the occasion. The mussels and escargots were brilliant and their sauce was finger licking good. The Risotto and the gnocchi were divine. The chef came and chatted with us giving us a very welcoming feel. Service was top notch. We will be back.

David Thornton

Yes yes yes, amazing food!!! The chef/owner is a genuine superstar and really cares about his customers. Loved this meal.

Adam Frolich

Art is an absolute master in the kitchen!! Gotta eat here if you're in Sault Ste Marie!

Charles Cyr

Food and service is amazing. Worth a visit.

Kevin McCarty

Great food and service.

Stephanie Brogan

Went to Antico for our 3 rd time & it just keeps getting more awesome .Adore sitting at the Chef’s table where we could watch Arturo & Dino do their magic & be charmed at the same time ! Great fun sampling and our repartee was such fun . The wait staff is excellent & helpful too . This is our favorite spot for a special night out . We’ll be back often. Delicious food and a friendly, cozy atmosphere. My friend had Arctic Char and really enjoyed it, and the veal parmigiana was excellent. Compliments to Arturo for a lovely dinner out!

Jody A

Great food, great service, wonderful atmosphere

Chris Cam

What can I say other then 10 out of 10. Food quality, presentation and quantity superb. Service from Tulsi was super energetic and friendly, with great recommendations. The complementary bruscetta may have been the best I've ever had. House salad dressing ... yes even that was outstanding! Owner Arturo visited our table twice to ensure everything was perfect. We'll be back! Thanks for a memorable evening Arturo.

Desiree Barratt

Amazing restaurant and experience!!! Worth ever penny!! Ask to sit at the bar!!!

Adam Dinsdale

Laura Thibodeau

Excellent service, high quality food and drinks. Thank you Arturo and staff for a fantastic meal!

Shimeem Al-Ayash

Such an amazing place with fantastic service. We had the best meal ever! The special of the day was mussels and escargot (which I hadn't tried before) the sauces were out of this world, I mopped up every last bit! By the time our main course came round we were feeling full! You won't be disappointed coming here. I look forward to coming here again!

Daniel Grottoli

We just ate there and we loved everything about this place. The service was amazing. So much so that the chef/owner came over just after we sat down to suggest that he prepare a quick penne with tomato sauce for our five year old son because he overheard that we had just travelled from Sudbury and he knew that he would be hungry and out of sorts. Everything that we ordered was excellent. I especially like the fig appetizer. We will definitely return the next time that we are in the Soo.

Ravioli! Ravioli! Ravioli!

Amazing place very friendly. Unsure of what to get? Go with a menu taster... will return

Brad MacMillan

We had a group of 14 last minute decide to go out tonight. Our server was amazing and the food was even better. Arturo is an amazing host.

Reg Iza

So good!! So friendly!! And so generous and accommodating.

What a disappointing meal. :( Made reservations for 2 on the patio for today (Monday) and asked ahead of time if it was cold out, if we could be moved inside. They said it would be absolutely fine. Got there today; there was one table seated inside and one outside. We asked if we could please sit inside since it was cold. They said no. Only because we insisted, they gave us a table inside. We were there for 1.5 hours and there were 2 free 4-top tables inside the entire time we were there. The hostess made us feel unwelcome and as if we were an inconvenience. I suppose we were deemed unworthy for some reason or another for a table indoors, when there were in fact plenty. We will not be returning on account of the terrible service the moment we entered the restaurant and the elitist attitude. Save your money and go to Quattro!!! Lobster ravioli is much better!

Christly Shop

A little taste of Italia. Authentic fine dining. Great service and even better food!

Visited Antico for our anniversary a few months ago and we had a very enjoyable experience. We had never been there before and decided to do a "menu tasting". It wasn't a busy night so the owner was able to come out and talked to us about what we would like to try and what we liked/disliked already (to avoid). He timed all the dishes out perfectly, recommended a wine pairing, and it was just so pleasant and welcoming. All the food was AMAZING, the best meal we ever had. We felt like family at the end, as he walked us to the door, shook our hands and thanked us for coming in. I am going there for a family birthday tomorrow and I am so excited. The best restaurant in Sault Ste. Marie.

Vero Nord

Had a great “Date Night” at Art’s and thoroughly enjoyed the blacken scallops appetizer and the gnocchi gorgonzola. Highly recommend both. Atmosphere was wonderful.

Shaun Horne

Worth every penny! From beginning to end this is an experience you have to try. Words cant even describe how good the food is. Cant compliment the service and ownership enough. Great job.

Michael Currier

Always an amazing meal!!!! Best food in Sault Ste. Marie!!! An excellent restaurant with outstanding service and an amazing chef!!!! My favorite restaurant in this city!!!

Kurtis McDermid

This restaurant is the hidden gem of Sault Ste. Marie. Chef Arturo is clearly very passionate about his work and his restaurant. Very personal experience dining here. We've been on several occasions now and the the owner has always come out to thank you us for coming and have a chat. This time for my birthday my wife had called ahead and asked him to simply feed us. Him and his excellent wait staff served us a personalized multi course meal that was unique and absolutely phenomenal. Though our five visits here so far we have had everything from a balsamic duck with beets to lobster ravioli to a fig and prosciutto appetizer and the best tiramisu I have ever had. Never once have we had a meal or a waitress, bartender, or other staff that has been anything less than excellent.

Liliane Beaudry

Sophie Larocque

My boyfriend and I had the pleasure of eating here on Wednesday. It was the best service we’ve ever experienced. Our waiter Brandon was a delight and really attentive. The food was amazing. The chef heard we were from out of town and came out to see how we were enjoying the food! Totally worth every penny. This place really is a hidden little gem! We will definitely be returning and recommending to anyone in the area.

Celine McAteer

Fantastic as always

Barb Harrison

I have never been disappointed with the quality of food. Always fresh, delicious and great presentation. Atmosphere is also delightful. Love Art and Dino

oasis north

Calamari was rubbery and hard to eat. The server stopped smiling halfway through like she was annoyed by something. Lobster ravioli only had maybe 5 ravioli in it...salad was pretty small. If we didn't have the appetizer I probably would have left hungry. My boyfriend really enjoyed his chicken parmigiana though. Not sure it was worth the $100

dinesh uniyal

Great food and energetic atmosphere, loved it and would definitely go back
