    Dinner pre rugby at the Rec. The scallop linguini was on menu again but my wife and I opted to share the mixed fish platter. Sold as course for one person but we struggled to finish it as a sharing plate! Salmon and sea bass filet both big enough for single serving plus prawns, scallops and an octopus tentacle. All cooked beautifully. Only had room for gelato to finish

    Has to be the best Italian restaurant I’ve ever visited. The staff were so attentive, and kind. They made you feel welcome from the minute you walk in, to the minute you walk out. Fantastic service! And the food… oh my!! It was such a delightful meal. Perfect portions, full of flavour and just pure perfection. I can not thank you enough for a spending evening.

    Delicious food and lovely, friendly staff. I have been going to Antica off and on over several years and it's always been excellent. The lunchtime offer of 2 courses for £25 is brilliant.
