This place has so much potential. It might be a bit hidden away in the shopping centre as the only way to access it is through the basement parking (from what I saw). The place was quiet during lunch and service was slow, but the salad I had was one of the best. Lovely outdoor seating with a great view.
Had my daughter’s birthday there.Service was excellent.Kids loved the play area. Lovely decor & ambience. Pesto base pizza was a treat.They can include some more vegetarian options though.
Seeing a lot of negative reviews for this place makes me sad. We went there today (not for the first time) and I loved it. My pizza was delicious and all our food came in good time. The play area is great - clean and fun. Our waitress was lovely; very attentive and great with our kids. The other waiters played with them as well. It was a very quiet day so I couldn't speak for busier days. It is a little expensive but I didn't feel hard done by. We would only recommend offering more options for toppings on the kids' pizza as not all kids like ham and pineapple.
We have been to Antonio's a handful of times now and have been thoroughly impressed.
Waiters are super friendly and food has been great on all occasions.

After reading many negative reviews I wanted to share my positive experience. I hosted a dinner for 12 people at Antonnio’s and due to bad weather unfortunately were unable to sit outside. We still had a nice view of the dam though. It was the first time I sat inside so I found it a little stuffy but our waiter opened the door for us which gave us a lovely fresh breeze. Our waiter was attentive and I think because the restaurant was quiet he was able to give us more attention as he was often filling up our wine glasses and checking in on us. Our food was delicious (most of us had the pasta meals) and was very filling so a few of us walked away with a doggy. The food was also very reasonably priced. One of our meals came late though which was weird as it was the meal that required the least amount of attention. We left quite late and one of our friends informed us that they actually closed 2 hours earlier. Checking the app now I see their operating times are listed so I missed that, however I also feel its quite early for a restaurant with a bar to close at 9 (perhaps its because of the location). Either way, they didn’t kick us out so thats a positive. Had i know this before I would have tipped better! I had a very fun evening and was happy that they stocked some of my favorite wines (Springfield Life from Stone and Rustenburg John X Merriman). Overall we had a good experience.
We had lunch at Antonnios Kitchen on Friday afternoon. Service was great, our waiter was friendly and helpful. Great place to go have lunch a few drinks and relax while your children play. Lovely view and tranquil setting. For a starter we had the mozzarella sticks, which was amazing. Cheese was soft and gooey, and the tomato preserve is absolutely a must try. My mom had the home baked ciabatta with Ham, cheese, tomato and onion tangy Mayo, two HUGE pieces of ciabatta so well worth the price. They will definitely be seeing us again.
At the end of last year I gave a disgusted and horrid review. Management invited me back. And I have been Three times already, I am impressed by the improvement in not only the service and other complaints, but we went for dinner with friends tonight, and I noticed. Great service from our waitress Bridget, the food was awesome. We had snails and chicken liver starters which was pretty good. Mains was the peri chicken, lamb chops, calamari and Panzerotti for the adults...delicious! Thank you for improving. .We will be back!
Antonnio's, although massive, was somehow under my radar since opening and I came across it by complete chance.
As always, I flipped through a few reviews, ranging from great to poor, so wasn't sure what to expect.
The setting is magic, especially if you have kids bouncing around. Remember to bring their costumes and, in extreme cases, their arm bands and goggles.
The craft beer on tap was chilled and flavorful, I found the service excellent (at least up till a point as per below) and the food very tasty.
The day went extremely well, it did however fall apart a bit when I wanted the bill. Our waitress had disappeared and could not be found. The manager seemed unable to help, oddly... We eventually managed to find someone to throw money at and then ran out the door.
A bit like hotel California, you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave!

This has become my fav place on Friday nights, great view over the Lonehill park. Great service , great food and good vibe . This place is amazing for families and casual drinks.
Great venue in Lonehill over the dam to have a few beers and a casual snack. Pizza is very decent but the pastas are not worth the price on the menu. Would go back for the atmosphere and the cold beer. Service is decent
A great place to bring young kids in a safe, outdoor environment. Situated right next to Lonehill park with great views of the dam and park area.
The food and drinks are pretty much what you'd consider 'Lonehill pricing' but it's worth a stop especially if you have small children.
Try the pizza, today was my first time visiting this place with friends and the pizza we ordered was fresh and tasty with a nice thin base. Again, a bit of a higher price than other places in the area but the quality was good.
Lots of activities for the kids including a bike track with bicycles all round for the kids, a 'water fountain' set up, big and small jungle gyms and slides.
Will definitely go back.
Perhaps if they could have drinks specials every now and then I'll give it 5 stars next time.

Nice spot with great kids play area. Good pizzas. Service could be better. We waited quite a long time for our food considering it wasn't very busy. Overall good experience though.
Rich and tasty pork belly. Enormous portions. Stunning surroundings. Friendly and efficient staff. Prices not bad at all.
Sunday morning breakfast outside over looking the lake is breath taking! Calm and peaceful, the food is amazing and excellent service! A big thumbs up!
It's situated in such a lovely setting, overlooking the dam. There is an awesome kiddies play area, with seating nearby so you can relax and monitor the kids. The food is great, pizzas look amazing! The manager on duty was very friendly, bubbly and attentive. A great vibe overall!
Fantastic view and kind staff, nice food
Pleasant views across the dam and poppies in the background. Highly recommended !
This place is the restaurant formerly known as Let's Meat!
Which was my favourite restaurant in all the world bar none.
Highlights include.
Wonderful Starters. Really wow.
Proper Steaks. Done exactly the way YOU specify. Like exactly.
Sublime sauces. Their Black Mushroom signature sauce is worth the visit alone.
Generous portions.
OK so they're not the size and scale they once were but the food is still excellent and tasty and well priced.
Go visit.
Fantastic venue. If you have kids, this is the place. If you DONT have kids, there is a no kids bar too, with great outdoor seating. Delicious Black horse on tap. Perfect. Great setting, really good food. Staff were top notch too. Mishak the manager. 10/10
