Anthony’s Place
“From the food, to the simple parking (right on ave X past Ocean ave) to the service.”
“My favorites: the garlic knots (of course!), their homemade fried mozzarella, the lasagna and the chicken parmigiana.”
“Great place, wonderful staff and homemade wine, that will keep you coming back any chance you get.”

I have only gotten delivery or take out here, never eaten in the restaurant.
I recently ordered delivery, and I was really impressed with the customer service. Usually I have found the staff at places like this to rush you and be somewhat rude, but not here. For example, I could not hear my phone ringing when the delivery person arrived. I felt HORRIBLE after I saw three missed phone calls. When I called the restaurant back, the woman who answered the phone was very sweet and alerted me that the delivery person was still in my lobby. I expected him to be angry, but he was very nice and patient, a wonderful human being! I tried to tip him extra for being so cool. I'm really impressed by the service.
I've had the fettuccine alfredo here and it was very good, so creamy! Really excellent and flavorful. You also get a great sized portion, leftovers for two days every time! The garlic knots are great, addicting. The chicken francese is good with a rich and flavorful taste, and so is the chicken parmigiana. I have to say I was not impressed with my chicken marsala. The chicken tasted off, almost like the chicken you find in a lean cuisine meal, and the sauce was heavy with no real marsala flavor.
Been a few years, time for an update. My family still loves Anthony's! It continues to be the right combination of excellent Italian food, warm welcoming homeyness, and reasonable prices that makes it a perfect restaurant for family dinners with the kids & grandparents. We recently tried their homemade red wine, and it's great — tastes a bit on the sweet side and gives you a good buzz. It's a big plus that they take reservations for our large group, and when we arrive the table's been set up and we don't wait. We appreciate Anthony's even more now because they've been so wonderfully consistent while other Italian places we know have tended to go downhill.
I like this restaurant because it truly has the feel of an old school family owned and operated restaurant in a neighborhood that has not changed much in the last fifty years or so. It is incredibly casual and very busy and rightfully so. Another positive about this place is that even though it is incredibly casual, they do offer wifi to customers if you ask. This is not exactly the type of place that one would choose for a business meeting but nonetheless, my friend and I brought our laptops and used them while we were eating. The service is attentive and friendly and we were greeted immediately and brought some delicious bread with garlic and oil on it; we loved it. The Peroni was cold and delicious. We ordered fried calamari to start and it was ok but it wasn't great because I thought it could have been cooked a little longer. We shared stuff rigatoni in an a la vodka sauce and chicken francese and both meals were very small compared to what we saw other tables order. The food was quite delicious, don't get me wrong but the portions were really small. The chicken was not a pounded cutlet but rather a few strips of white meat in the lemon sauce…very interesting. We enjoyed the cappuccino and the chocolate mousse cake a lot and I would go back just for the cappuccino and dessert and try some of their baked pasta dishes.
It's okay. I would say it's a great option for the area since there isn't really any other place like this. I got the squid ink linguini and it fell short of my expectations the texture felt plasticky. The seafood that came with it was good, however. Also ordered the black mussels and they were good but could have used more flavor in the soup (more garlic or butter) but was also a bit on the salty side for me. Also ordered Bob salad which just means it's cut into smaller pieces and it was alright.
Anthony's place is another local in the neighborhood. It is one of the few restaurants surrounded by delis and medical offices and other small businesses. It's a very small restaurant that you probably won't even notice right away.
I haven't been here in years but as I can remember, the service is very friendly and the food is very good.
The restaurant itself is very small and a bit dark but it gives you that home-like feeling. It's not like your typical Olive Garden, you'll definitely love this more.
I wanted to get a review in before Anthony's Place moved to a new location on Ocean Ave. I'm very much looking forward to this, as the location looks fantastic and considering Anthony's (sometimes applicable) quality, you can only assume they're going to try to become a bigger name than they actually are. The old location had charm and it really echoed an older Brooklyn than you don't get to see anymore these days; especially up north.
Note : This is for take-out. I've had Anthony's about 6 times for take-out and delivery. The first four times were outrageously good. Good buffalo wings, awesome tomato and mozzarella, riggatoni vodka, steak pizzaiola; all awesome. Buffalo wings for some insane reason never came with bleu cheese, no one way to really understand why.
The other two times we ordered, everything was either flat compared to before or just simply bad. And real bad. As if no effort was made whatsoever. I did notice that the last two times we ordered (and then promptly stopped because I absolutely do not have the time or patience for bad take-out and two strikes is generous) it was during the week, and the quality product came out during the weekend.
I've only picked up but despite it's old (you can say classic, too) interior , I would not have minded to come here to eat.
There is no way I'm going to miss the opening of the new location for a dine-in experience, and I hope that's going to be a 5 star review. If the kitchen decides to bring their A-game like they did before, that should be easy.
i love neighborhood places & this one is right up there! Not a very large restaurant, but it got more crowded as the night went on. To start, we had the fried zucchini. My entree was a special of the day which was crab meat and lobster filed ravioli in a pink sauce, sooo good! For dessert, we split the molten cake. Staff was friendly & so was the atmosphere. It was very welcoming and I find myself returning sooner rather than later.
We ordered food from here to go so this is based on at-home taste-testing.
Never had a filet parm so I thought I would try it with pasta. It's a fried filet with spaghetti. I enjoyed the flavor of the fish though I would not typically pair that with spaghetti. The bf got an eggplant parm with pasta and thought it was pretty good too.
We enjoyed the sauce and the flavors and would come back 🙂
