My wife and I visited for the first time and we were pleasantly surprised. I had the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and it was very good. My wife wasn’t very hungry & ordered the bruschetta, which was also very good. We finished with the no bake chocolate cake & it was the perfect ending to a very good meal. We will no longer have to drive to Forest Lake for Italian food. I like to support our local businesses, give Anthony’s a try. We will certainly be back!

Looking for a place on a Friday night that wasn’t jam-packed with a 40 minute wait. Well, we probably drove around for 40 minutes, but stumbled on Anthony’s. The only thing keeping this from 5 stars is their wine and beer selection. Although I liked that they serve local wines(from Wine Haven down the road), they need to have a good Italian red and more local beer selections. However, the pasta was absolutely fabulous. My chicken parmigiana was good, but I’d come back for the homemade pasta, in particular the tortellini with olive oil, fresh basil and Parmesan — yes, a pesto without the blender. It was just as good warmed up the next day! Will definitely be back for this dish.

We were excited to see a new restaurant in town but waited awhile before trying it so there were no «we just opened» excuses. Well I was completely underwhelmed. The food is kind of pricey for the quality. You are basically getting bar food. I ordered a burger which was rather bland and sweet potato fries which were cold and soggy. The waitress was barely around and very slow. What a disappointment.

The first time we ate here it was really good. Their fire baked pizza is amazing. The spinach dip is also really good. The second time we ate here we had the most incompetent waitress I’ve ever had. She brought out the wrong order and insisted it was ours until she rechecked her ticket. Our drinks stayed empty the whole time. She spent her time talking to a friend at another table.
