Antonio's Ristorante Italiano

I am Italian and prior to my celiac disease diagnosis I made all my own bread and pasta. Big change since I was diagnosed in 2005 and everyone was clueless about gluten intolerance. ( including my doctors)When I eat gluten it’s similar to being seasick and having the flu all at the same time. So when I find such a wonderful restaurant with not only the knowledge I need but the absolutely BEST Italian food I am so grateful. They were so careful and prepared food that I usually have to make myself. What a blessing.

Excellent meal! Although there’s no gf menu, the staff was extremely knowledgeable about options, from pizza to entrées and extremely willing to accommodate. Cauliflower crust pizza was excellent and not burnt like many places. Thoroughly enjoyable, would not hesitate to return and recommend!

Ordered a cheese pizza and it was a pretty decent thin crust pizza. Uncertain about their handling and processes but I didn't have a negative reaction.

We were traveling and I found this place on the find me gluten free app. I did not see an option for gluten free chicken parm but hey did have gf ravioli and pasta options which I thought was great. I ordered pasta and sausage and specifies that the sausage had to be cooked gf as well and they seemed to do just what we asked. The pasta tasted great. Couldn’t even tell it was gf.

What a hidden gem! I don’t even know how to handle actual choices at a restaurant anymore. I am used to having 1-2 choices. I was torn between the great reviews on the pizza, ravioli, and chicken parm. But, there are so many choices!!! I went with the chicken parm. It was so good that I made my husband taste it to tell me if it was gluten free. I got nervous, it was too delicious. BUT, absolutely safe! I cannot wait to return and work my way through the menu!!!

This little restaurant is in a shopping plaza. About half of what was gluten free in the menu was listed. But other things that were gluten free or could be made gluten free weren’t listed. The waiter was incredibly knowledgeable so it was super easy. I had the chicken parmigiana with spaghetti and it was delicious. I felt very confident and comfortable with their procedures. They knew what they were doing in preparation. I didn’t get sick.

Fantastic! So many GF options and they are very experienced with cooking GF food. I had fried calamari (dedicated fryer) and penne and chicken pasta with a creamy vodka sauce. It was amazing . Its a small place and as I was leaving I thanked the owner for a great GF meal and he said they had been doing GF for many years.

Here in Williamsburg vacationing with family. I have Celiacs, so I am very apprehensive about eating out-especially far from home. I took a chance and ate at this establishment. I highly recommend them as they were very pleasant, understanding and knowledgeable. I was treated very well! I had the Calamari as an appetizer. They fry the gluten free food in a separate frying pan. I also had the Chicken Parmesan with Penne. The sauce was out of this world delicious! They even have a gluten free chocolate cake, but I was way to full to order it. Gosh, I wish we had a restaurant like this back home!!!

In town on vacation and chose this place based on other reviews here. It was amazing. Friday night around 8:00pm and not overly busy but very steady. When I asked if there was a separate gluten free menu the hostess very kindly told me that there wasn’t but they had gluten free pasta, pizza, and other items on the regular menu. She told me to make sure my server knew my restrictions and they would be able to help me. I confirmed the gluten free pasta is cooked in separate water and when I asked about the Alfredo sauce the waitress wasn’t sure, so she went to check for me. I was so excited when she said it was safe! Pasta was amazing and my non-gf dinner companions enjoyed their meals as well. Food was delicious and service was amazing! Very sensitive Celiac and I had no reactions at all.

Had the gluten free chicken parm. Was delicious!! Large helpings- definitely have leftovers for lunch. No side-effects whatsoever and I have a severe allergy. Owner oversaw the preparation of my meal, in a separate area of the kitchen. A first for me, to have homemade, fresh, gluten-free pasta!

We found Antonio’s after seeing positive reviews on this app. It’s a total hole in the wall but I’m really glad that we found Antonio’s. They offer gluten-free pizza and pasta - I had baked ziti. I’m normally not a fan of restaurant pasta but this was incredibly good. I had to ask if the pasta was truly gluten-free because it tasted so good.

Delicious gf ravioli. Rare to find this item. Very friendly people, had a nice conversation with the owner while eating. I thank God for this app and finding this place.

He also said he will work on putting gf mozzarella sticks on the menu, very accommodating. What a blessing!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Accommodates gluten free people. Friendly service. Delicious meals with generous portions. Don’t let location fool you since it is in a plaza. Reasonable prices, quite the hidden gem.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The GF cheese ravioli was good. They also have GF bread crumbs for frying the calamari appetizer. Salad dressings are GF as well. However, they do not have GF bread to substitute the garlic bread that comes with all of the other pasta entrees. I was too full to try their GF chocolate cake. Staff is friendly and the place is cute. I wished the place was more authentically Italian.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Now they also have gluten free chicken Parmesan! Not on the menu yet, but ask about it. It was delicious!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We went here based solely on the reviews from here! SO glad we went. I opted for the gluten free pizza. It was very good, but I think Mellow Mushroom's gluten free pizza is better. Hubby had the scallops and shrimp in vodka sauce over pasta. He said it was fantastic. I kind of wished I had gotten that with gluten free pasta instead, but overall we were both very happy with our meals and would definitely recommend. It's kind of deceiving since it's a little place in a nondescript strip mall. You won't be disappointed.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

There is NOTHING NOT TO LIKE here. Last week was my first time. The owner was VERY knowledgeable regarding celiac and precautions to prevent cross contamination. He only orders the BEST in Glutenfree products & even came to our table to check on things! (He has trained his people as well.) If this wasn't enough...the pizza was the ABSOLUTE BEST I have EVER had. No Joke! I have had NO issues and am calling an order in now 😁 Oh yes...The waitresses are SUPER friendly and attentive. Yu, the one in the pic is the best waitress I've had the pleasure to meet. This is one of the best kept secrets in Williamsburg. Nowhere have I eaten better. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This is a very small hole in the wall that's totally able to handle celiacs! We had a new waitress and the owner walked her through everything in front of us, was very reassuring.

Food was excellent too 👍

Celiac friendly?

Spoke with the owner and he assured me everything was safe for my celiac son. I am so happy to find something for the whole family!! Service was great! Food was FABULOUS!!

THE BEST GF ITALIAN in Williamsburg! Hands down. We are visiting from NYC where we know what good Italian food is. We went to another place yesterday that was not up to par. This place had amazing GF penne that we had with fettuccine Alfredo. Ordered a size of salmon rare, perfectly made. They don’t charge extra for the GF pasta. Better yet, they let us order the kid’s portion GF for my child, and she ordered a spaghetti and a ravioli kid’s portion. The kid’s portion was very generous. She was so happy.

We ordered the GF chocolate cake for dessert (is IYH the encouragement from another celiac diner who was a local) and it’s beyond amazing. Like a fudge wedge. Flourless chocolate cake.

Attentive service was of course a plus. The owner was there and we showered him with thanks. He said that he has a completely separate prep area for GF food. Delicious and safe.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I had the gf Ravioli. It was so delicious! Noodles cooked to perfect texture. Serving portion was excellent. Restaurant was clean and staff was very knowledgeable about gluten. They even have a gf chocolate cake. Brought home a piece to have later.

Gf ravioli was delicious! Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Will definitely stop again on vacation

Knowledge staff. My daughter has Celiacs and didn’t get sick...she even said the crust was fantastic on her pizza!!!

Celiac friendly?

I was in the area on vacation. The gf pizza was so good. One of the best gluten-free pizza I have ever tried.

Great restaurant. Staff was very knowledgeable about Celiac. Kids had the GF pizza and it was delicious!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This place was great at accommodating our needs! My daughter (celiac) hasn’t had ravioli in so long and she loved being able to eat it again! The Caprese pizza was made GF for me and so delicious! The waiter was knowledgeable as to what we could and couldn’t eat and was great at communicating between us and the chef. Highly recommend this place!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great food options and didn’t get sick!

Celiac friendly?

The staff was very helpful. I ordered the gfree chicken piccata which was disappointing because it was bland and no flavor. My celiac daughter loved the gfree pizza. We had success here depending on what you like to eat but there are several options.

Both my kids have celiac so we were happy to hear of this Italian place while we were visiting. The workers were very nice and accommodating. Kids had the gluten free ravioli and loved it. I had the gnocchi with spinach and my husband had the baked ziti. My gnocchi was to die for!!! The only thing that I can say that left something to be desired were their salads.

Celiac friendly?

Very knowledgeable staff and their pizza was phenomenal. It’s also so close to Bush Gardens and the hotels. Well worth the trip!

This amazing find has delicious food and an amazing food. They offer two kinds of GF pasta and different sizes of GF pizzas. The manager (owner?) even checked on us several times to make sure our food & service were good.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The gluten-free ravioli was delicious! The salads are also good, but the only GF dressing is the oil and vinegar. Our waitress Lindsey was great too! She answered all our questions and double-checker everything.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My husband ordered the Baronessa di Carini and enjoyed it. I ordered the spaghetti carbonara and devoured it. My kids loved the spaghetti and pizzas. The restaurant offers gluten free spaghetti and penne noodles. The dinners come with side salads and the only safe dressing was the house, which was tasty. For dessert they have a dense, almost mousse like, chocolate cake.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff new what it meant when I said that I have celiac. The staff was very kind to me and my family. We all got the GF pizza and it came out on the tray in foil unlike someone else’s non gluten free pizza that we had seen. I felt great after I had eaten. The food was DELICIOUS especially for being gluten free! I would definitely go back! Also they appropriately marked it on the ticket as an allergy/gluten free, my waitress also went back and talked to the chef.

Celiac friendly?
