My wife surprised me for Father’s Day and we went with my dad as well. Service was excellent! Owner came over and introduced herself - Sicilian and what a wonderful lady! Table was professionally set and the food was incredible! We got a surprise appetizer that was a chef’s special and it was so savory good. We all got various plates and they were all hits, no misses. We will absolutely be returning! Their bread was fresh from the oven. Their shrimp bisque was phenomenal. New favorite place for Italian!

Truly excellent. The food is seriously authentic Sicilian that left our whole table blissed out. We had perfectly fresh burrata (special), crispy yet tender calamari, delicious octopus salad, a bunch of amazing entrees, fabulous desserts and espresso. Everything was great. And on top of that the hospitality and friendly service made us really feel at home. Highly recommended!!

My husband and I had dinner here for our 40th “meeting each other” anniversary. What a lovely atmosphere with our wonderful hostess and server. The food was delicious and there were many choices. Dessert…amazing! I highly recommend the red sangria. We’ll be back,

My wife and I found this wonderful Italian trattoria in an alley behind Loudon Street (the main drag in Old Town Winchester) called Antica. It’s owned by a family originally from Staten Island, NY via Naples. Excellent southern Italian cuisine. The chef’s special pasta with seafood was sensational; it consisted of homemade fusilli with mussels, monkfish, zucchini and tomatoes in a clear broth. My wife enjoyed the mushroom ravioli in red sauce. For dessert, we split a slice of flourless chocolate almond cake, which was awesome. Our server, who hails from Palermo, Sicily, was very friendly and knowledgeable. This place could certainly pass muster back in the Garden State! A diamond in the rough!

Love this restaurant! We had such a great night with the friendliest staff and the best food! The Gnocchi Sorrentina is a must! We even witnessed dancing in the kitchen and learned a little Italian. Wonderful experience!

The food and service was amazing!!! I had dinner there March 6th; I will be back!!!!! The owners were wonderful, very friendly and inviting.

All I can say is WOW! Finally Winchester has a great Italian restaurant with a romantic atmosphere!!!! Friendly staff and the food is incredible! I will most definitely be back!

Probably should’ve had a reservation.. but they seated us quickly and immediately welcomed us with a complementary appetizer. Diane was a wonderful waitress, making us feel at home and welcomed to stay as long as we liked. The homemade sangria was refreshing and delightful with our entrees of gnocchi and linguini scampi. The atmosphere was so cozy and intimate, with a staff that genuinely cared for their guests like family

Excellent attention to detail in the preparation and presentation of their food. Staff was wonderful! The only improvement I can suggest is to carry that same attention to detail into the dining area. Freshly grated cheese instead of the cheese shakers they use at Pizza Hut would be a very nice touch.

We were driving down Indian Alley to get to one of the parking lots to go eat on the walking mall but got stopped by someone pulling out of a space at this cozy restaurant. We decided to have a mini date night adventure and we loved everything about it! Great atmosphere, wonderful service, and absolutely delicious food. We can't wait for the next time we have a date night to come back and try even more of their amazing food!
