Antica Italian Restaurant & Wine Bar

Pretty interiors and open space seating, if at capacity, feels crowded and not quite comfy and cozy. Set that aside, and you'll be blown away by the food! Fresh pasta, flavorful sauce and the best-cooked black sea bass ever! Beef cheeks was a first and the chef set the bar high for this dish served. Beet & Arugula salad, ceasar Salad and Caprese Salad is fresh and you won't be disappointed with their house-made dressings. Dessert is a must. Staff is on the ball and on the move! They're good!

Went today for the first time. Last minute dinner date with my husband. And I must say the food is extremely delicious. We had the seafood house special. We got the creamy sauce instead of the white wine sauce. Very filling and huge portion.
Tasted fresh!!!
Our dessert Lemon cream cake was so fresh and soft! And I don't even like lemon desserts.
The calamari so crispy and fresh. Friendly staff. Everyone worked together asking were we ok.
Its not as small as it looks either. I really enjoyed it. Price for food was reasonable and worth it.My bill was only 108.00. We will be coming back!!

The food here was incredible. My partner and I had the seafood special for that day, calamari as an app, and a few glasses of wine. Good portions for the price. Special in picture was $45 for mussels, scallops, lobster, and pasta in a delicious Pomodoro sauce.
The staff were very charming and friendly and one of the highlights of my visit.

You won’t go home hungry for sure! Delicious food, reasonably priced with generous portions. My boyfriend and I split an appetizer and I just could not finish my seafood pasta dish. According to the dessert menu, the restaurant offers BYOB, though their whisky sour was so tasty! Our waiter was friendly and attentive. He gave us great suggestions and was accommodating to my request to change the pasta type.

Our waitress Suzanne was very accommodating and we really just love the service and the atmosphere of the restaurant. The menu was spot on and it is what brought us into have dinner and enjoy the perks of restaurant week in the Chadds Ford area. Was looking for somewhere that had great food that wasn't too far away from Longwood gardens where we went for the first time and it was also amazing just 10 minutes away. This is definitely a must go to again for years to come the food is absolutely delicious and the wine selection isn't pretty bad either. We ordered the Fried Calamari Fresh Rhode Island Calamari Lightly Fried over White Bean and Garlic Puree Topped with cilantro aioli. And for our second appetizer the Pulpo al Griglia Grilled Octopus, Arugua, Citrus Chili Oil and they both were marvelous. Cabernet Braised Shortribs which were so luscious and Hardy it literally melted in your mouth. The umami hit so many different levels especially the savoryness brought out by the Cabernet reduction.Braised Tender short ribs wild mushroom risotto, grilled asparagus, cabernet reduction. The second entree was definitely the star of the show as well my favorite Zuppa di Pesce Sautéed Clams, Mussels, Shrimp, Salmon and Crab in a White Wine Pomocoro sauce served over linguine. Both dishes were very well proportioned that it was more than enough to eat half of it and take the rest home with you and I love having something to eat for later. We finish off the rest of dinner with a blueberry cheesecake brulee which was so yummy and tasty also we had the chocolate mousse which was rich and decadent and everybody possible. Can't wait to get back out there and enjoy this restaurant again.
