Antonio's Ristorante - Sand Lake

---

"In the last 12 years, the quality of Italian dining in Central Florida has taken great strides - Greg Gentile is one of the reasons." - said Scott Joseph of The Orlando Sentinel on the opening of Antonio's newest restaurant on Sand Lake Road.

---

In 1990, Antonio's la fiamma opened in Maitland offering fresh, multi-regional Italian cuisine unavailable in the Orlando metropolitan area. The creation of Antonio's, then and now, was born from Greg's passion for food and a love for the country of Italy.

While traveling in Tuscany, Greg Gentile, Antonio's Owner, was in awe of the natural wood, stone and tile used, and still evident, in centuries-old buildings. Antonio's Sand Lake offers that "old-world" Tuscan atmosphere featuring gothic and barrel-vault ceilings, wood floors, the beauty of inlaid wood furnishings and beautifully painted Italian scenes in oil. Whether a small private dining room comfortable for 10, an indoor terrace for an "al fresco" feel or the beautiful main dining room with a view of the open kitchen, the "Tuscan villa" ambiance is apparent throughout. Guests feel as if they stepped inside Italy's own borders- right here in Orlando!

The cuisine is a delicious combination of Italy's varied regions. "...a banquet of one tempting morsel after another" of "authentic, Italian-inspired dishes prepared with fresh ingredients" Mr. Joseph of The Orlando Sentinel states, where "the service is first rate!" Prepared "al minuto" or "to the moment," Antonio's is known for outstanding recipes for fresh fish and seafood. Daily specials are always tempting - as are the Black Angus steaks, veal, lamb and pork dishes. Breads are baked fresh daily and the dessert array offers the perfect finishing touch.

The Italian dining tradition includes the pairing of wine with food. The beauty of the wine cellar alone promises that what the eyes see, the palate will enjoy. Antonio's wine list offers over 250 selections of rare and popular favorites; and, a "handpicked" wine-by-the-glass list as well as a full bar provide the perfect compliment to your meal.

Antonio's at Sand Lake is poised to join her "sister" restaurants as Zagat "Certificate of Distinction" rated establishments. Whether at Antonio's la fiamma in Maitland where Zagat tells you to "...expect an evening of pampering" or Cafe D'Antonio in Celebration where Zagat says you'll enjoy "...the taste and style of a more expensive place... has it all," the Antonio's family of restaurants, now including Antonio's at Sand Lake, offer the finest, freshest ingredients available in the world's market prepared in centuries-old recipes. Antonio's Sand Lake is a cherished addition to this proud Italian family and we await the pleasure of serving you!

Located on the second floor of The Fountains Plaza, Antonio's overlooks a gorgeous Florentine fountain and the lively Sand Lake cityscape. Reservations are recommended and dress is business casual. Five beautifully appointed private dining rooms are available for business and social events; for more information see our "Banquets" page. Thank you for your interest in Antonio's!
