Antonios Cucina Italiana: A Taste of Authentic Italian in Dearborn Heights

I absolutely love this place! Such a family oriented restaurant and they do so much for the community. But most of all the food is authentic Italian and amazing!

Exceeded our expectations. Did you know there is a total of five restaurants in this family business? I didn't until recently. We had such a great experience at the first restaurant that we decided to make a goal of visiting each of the Antonio's: Dearborn Heights, Plymouth, Livonia, and Farmington Hiils. We love our date night dinners, and this goal gives us something to look forward to. Our experience at this restaurant was just as consistent as when we visited Roman Village (we loved it). Edward was our server, and he didn't miss a beat. Excellent service combined with perfect timing and flavorful food. I had the veal marsala, and it was amazing. We just missed seeing Ms. Momma Rita, as she left, about an hour before we arrived. I mention this because she can really make your dining experience a little extra special. We love her stories and learning about how the family business came to be what it is today. I've only been to two of the five restaurants so far, and we will get to them all... but the takeaway is this. CONSISTENCY! Excellent service and great food. Thanks for another great date night, Rugiero family (and Edward).

The food was perfection. There had been a delay in service, which led to me almost walking out... but the staff and managers stopped us and apologized for the one waitress (Diana). I requested a different waitress and am so happy that I did. She had a smile on the entire time and was very attentive to even the smallest of things. Thank you so much to the manager and general manager for the canolli. It was not expected and is so appreciated. The rest of the dinner ran smoothly, and I will always be going back. One bad waitress does not mean it's a bad establishment. The food was delicious, the space was clean, and the staff went above and beyond to make sure their guests were happy. Thank you for what ended up being a good dinner! I've been a customer since 2012 till now and will always go back when I have that warm Italian food craving! And as always I highly recommend this place. Thank you again to the 2nd waitress Sofia for such a great experience! She had serious skills when it came to customer service!

Despite there not being many employees, on busy days they try their absolute best to serve every customer that walks in and they do an amazing job. People don’t get how much work gets put into the behind the scenes of this restaurant, it’s easy to get impatient as of course you have to wait for your server or to get a seat but you get amazing food in the end! Servers are nice and also try to make sure you have everything you need!! Appreciate everything this restaurant has to offer! Would come again!!

I went there for dinner with my fiance on Sunday January 25, 2026 around 7:45 pm. When we got there the Manager Brandon greeted us at the hostess booth and told us that they had already closed. My fiance told him that he had drove quite a way in very nasty weather to have dinner there. The manager seated us and let us stay and have our dinner. My fiance and I had an amazing dinner and our waitress was just as amazing. She made sure we had everything we needed and she was very kind and a lot of fun. We thanked the Manager Brandon for allowing us to be seated and have our dinner and we both let him know how very much we appreciated his kindness. We knew that he did not have to seat us and both of us completely understand that the staff wanted to get home safely to their families. The weather has been crazy for a couple of days and driving is not fun. We have had dinner at that restaurant several times and the food and the staff are the best. This is without a doubt on our top 5 favorite places to eat at. Thank you again Brandon and Debbie. You two are great.

Shanna was our server and was outstanding! She even had her own party trick - ask her about it! LOL! The food here and at their other restaurants is excellent! A favorite place in Metro Detroit for us.

Place is amazing ordered Baci for the first time and couldn't get enough it. The flavor is amazing, and lets not forget about the bread basket being top tier delicious. I'll definitely be returning.

1st time and it was so worth it. The food was a little slow coming out but worth the wait. Everything was hot and tasted fresh made. The waitress was awesome. She was very kind, patient, knowledgeable and had a great smile. Will be going again for sure.
