Antonio's

There is Old-School Italian food which is served steaming hot and covered with cheese. There is a time and a place for this. There are also tremendous high-end Italian restaurants with excellent food in a more adventurous mode. And then there's Antonio's. We discovered Antonio's when we were living in Farmington and there was a new Antonio's opening in Farmington Hills at 12 and Drake. The bread was a thing of beauty. The salad was wonderful. The pesto divine. The pine nuts plentiful. And the bill under 30 dollars if you didn't drink anything stronger than coffee. When we moved to Canton 7 years ago, we started frequenting the Dearborn Heights location, which while possessing a little less of the "white table cloth" feel of the Farmington Hills location definitely had all of the attention to detail with the food and service and is worth the trip down Ford Road. My Perennial Dining Companion swears by the spaghetti carbonara. I feel the pesto is exceptional. If you get it with Italian Sausage, it's enough for dinner and lunch the next day.
