| - Pizza pizza pizza.... Was expecting a lot more out of it with all the reviews and Drew Carey newspaper article. It wasn't that it was actually bad pizza, but if I weren't reviewing this restaurant, and anyone asked my about good pizza in the Cleveland area, I don't even think I would think of this place, yet alone say it out loud. I had sausage and onion, and there was very little of either topping on there, and what there was was just OK. The pizza was not that big for the price, which is OK if its a great pie, but it was just a doughy mess. This is the second time I have ever been to Antonio's, and I will probably give the pizza one more chance like a bad ex that you know your just going to be disappointed in the long run, but it could be good, so why not give it one last try.
I went with 3 others, and tried the Antonio's trio, which had the lasagna which was great, and shells and fettuccine Alfredo. Of the three things I tried, I would order the lasagna again for sure, but don't really care too much for the alfredo sauce, as it seemed a bit like wallpaper paste in consistency. The server was very polite, and attentive, which is all I really can ask for in a server. My secong biggest problem with the place, after the pizza is very trivial: the glasses. I watched my 10 year old niece go thru 6 glasses, sounds like a lot til you see the glasses. They must be 6 ounces or so before you put any ice in them. Not only was it a pain in the ass for us, and I imagine all guests, but must really suck for the servers, expecially when you get someone who is over ten and very thirsty. Tjhe veal Marsala was said to be very good, but could have been a bit bigger portion size, though the entrees do come with a salad.
