Antonio's in Fareham

Literally a perfect lunch. Tony is the perfect host, and the food was exceptional again.

Wow! Authentic Spanish restaurant. My first time there and it was amazing. I didn't know it was there, but it has been there for 20 years. The food was amazing and the service was just as amazing, very friendly, and family run and the food was gorgeous, (you need to try the crepe and Suzette) We even got a free drink as it was our first time. Will definitely be going again.

Great service, delicious food - we tried a large selection of tapas! As good as we remembered from years ago! We mustn't leave it so long to visit again!

The Owner served me he was lovely , very friendly, the service was great.

Antonio's Fareham - Sat 12th Oct 2024 Birthday celebration for 9 people Had a fantastic time - Owner 'Antonio" a really nice guy (provided you obey the house rules 🤣). We all had a great time, Tapas lovely but so much more.on the menu. Thanks for a memorable visit. Julian & family

What a wonderful experience, food was amazing, well done chefs, outstanding. A BIG BIG shout out to all the staff unbelievably good. No, not good! Fantastic, brilliant very professional and made us all feel at home and part of the family, thank you one and all. Cannot wait to come back. BRILLIANT 👏 👌

Excellent host, excellent food, excellent service 👌

Another amazing dinner here. We come for our three year anniversary as this was one of the first places I took my girlfriend when we met. Antonio is an amazing character. See you soon. Mr Dawson!

Food was incredible and good size tapas dishes. Prawns are insanely good. The host..what can I say! One of the best and made us feel welcome. Wish I lived closer to make it a regular visit but will definitely return when back down south

Another lunchtime visit to Antonio's did not disappoint. Wide selection to choose from on the tapas menu. I definitely recommend the pork strips in red wine, but it was all delicious. The setting and the service from Antonio makes you feel like you could be in Spain.

One of our all time favourites highly recommended

The food was fantastic and very tasty all round, great service there staff are very welcoming and polite highly recommended 💯🌟

Another brilliant Lamb Shank. Excellent service. Well done 👏

Amazing food, with excellent service. If I'm being picky, I would have liked more variety in the vegetarian options, however I can not fault the meal I had. The dessert of traditional Spanish Chocolate Torta was the highlight...rich chocolate flavour, perfectly, but not overly, sweetened....absolutely delicious! We will definitely be eating at Antonio's again.

We have booked a table for family birthday. mix tapas,Lamb shank. Normally we would have their fresh fishes as main, but this time we pre ordered a paella , it was so delicious . Everything was outstanding. The whole family enjoyed the evening . Big thank you to Antonio

Fantastic meal at Toni's, wonderful food and wonderful company as always. The mussels were delicious, thankyou Diego, Toni, Dee Dee and everyone xx

After ordering the main dish we weren't asked how the food was, because the owner knew very well how the last dish after many days tastes like. When you pay around £20 for a main course in 2019 you don't expect a slice of cabbage stem, few carrots and broccoli and call them seasonal veg when it is summer! The owner can grill and chat but that's about it. Pureed tomato? Meatballs that come frozen and ready and cost next to nothing but sold at a huge profit? So few new potatoes. I could have brought some from home!! High prices do not always provide a fine meal. Neither do small portions assume to be fine too. Customers are polite but not stupid. The tomato sauce with the 3 prawns, 5 mussels, rice and a shred of fish wasn't nice at all, as if it is close to getting off. It wasn't cooked on the day!!!! It was on the board outside the door for days so it was an old dish.... Sadly sellers assume the customers have no idea. As if we don't shop or cook or even serve customers ourselves. Even paid I'm not going there again!!!!

Recently visited with a friend, first time for him. Chorizo and black pudding my favourite to start Then the best steak ever, perfectly cooked. Cheese and port to finish it off. Great service as always, good atmosphere and a great evening. Well worth the visit.

Fantastic authentic Spanish restaurant! If you didn't know different you would think you were in Spain. Eccentric waiter might be from Barcelona! Great food drinks and service. Worth a visit.

One of the best coffee I've ever! As for the food..what can I say? It's Spain transported to Fareham! Superb experience, thanks Antonio!!!

Brilliant atmosphere, great food cooked to perfection

Amazing food, amazing service. Fully recommend

A wonderful experience from start to finish, we took friends out for their birthday and they now love it too. A must for Spanish tapas and wonderful service from Antonio and his team. Thank you 👍

Birthday meal. Great food. Huge portions. Lovely friendly service.

Really lovely dinner here. Antonio was very welcoming and gave an excellent service. The atmosphere was good. Had 3 course set menu and all the dishes were excellent. Presented beautifully and really delicious! Would definitely recommend this place! Will be going back to try the tapas at some point!

Lovely evening spent in the company of Mr Antonio. Quite a character! Food and drinks were great and reasonably priced. We will definitely be back

Fabulous food. Great service and a very welcoming atmosphere, as always. Thank you Antonio 😊

Amazing food! Feels like being in Spain ❤️ Thanks to Antonio for being so kind with us. We will come back!

Food is incredible, staff are very kind and funny and the atmosphere is very welcoming. One of the best restaurants in the area!

Excellent fish cookery, wine was wonderful. Only down side was the patatas bravas not crispy and lacks picancy. Atmosphere was wonderful and 'mine host' is a character.

Really good tapas. Feels traditional and service was excellent. Going back again!

Just returned from a wonderful evening at Antonio's. Fabulous food, service and atmosphere. Can't recommend enough, this was our first visit but definitely won't be our last.

Absolutely fantastic evening, excellent food and service. Thank you

Would definitely recommend this place Excellent food, great host, and waitresses. Authentic Spanish dishes. Lacked that Spanish music vibe at the start but the meals made up for it.

Went for meal there the starters was appalling, had mushroom in very thin sauce for the money,would not go again,the manager is in your face the whole time,very uncomfortable.

Food was amazing, very tasty. Love the relaxed atmosphere.

Lovely restaurant, great food and a lovely atmosphere, never had tapas before and I really enjoyed it.

Great little restaurant in Fareham Town centre.

I have no idea why we never tried Antonio's before. Choice and quality of food was absolutely amazing, and the service was even better. Seeing spanish people eating there was a great sign from the outset, but seeing the staff interact with new and regular customers the way they were was really what impressed us most. Will absolutely be coming back as our go-to date night spot.

We were there for a wedding lunch. We were looked after really well. We were a bit awkward as out of a group of 7, 5 of us were vegetarians. Nothing phased them, though, and suggestions were made to help us choose. A lovely experience.

Amazing food & service. Excellently priced. Definitely going back.

Amazing food and great atmosphere. The staff and owner are really friendly

Antonio is very welcoming and friendly. Always happy to help. The food was also really good. My wife and I both had the tapas and we were very pleased with all the dishes.

Lovely, smiling & happy looking staff, excellent choice of foods. My choices were tasty and a joy to eat. Importantly not overpriced.

Great place to eat. Antonio is the perfect host , and the food is delicious will definitely be going again

Excellent traditional Spanish restaurant still owned & managed by Antonio. Who rightly takes huge pride in his restaurant. I ate there as part of a party of 8 and everything was delicious. There was also a wide choice of meals across separate main, specials, tapas & 2 or 3 course set menus. I had Meatballs main course followed by Chocolate Torte (with substituted chocolate instead of vanilla gelato) for £25 off the 2 course set menu. Excellent food & value

Amazing food, amazing service, amazing everything basically. Owner may ask you to top your wife's wine glass up in his absence... Don't take it personally 😂🍺

The food was reasonable so two stars, but the owner/waiter Antonio was incredibly rude and patronising. He seemed to enjoy making a point of lording it over his customers, for example berating me for refilling our empty wine glasses . Perhaps he's a "local institution " who is famous for his head-teacher treatment of diners, but for those not party to this knowledge they should save themselves the poor attempt at aggressive humour (if that's what it was) and go to a comedy club followed by a good restaurant with attentive and polite service.

Food - AMAZING! Great for both fish and meat lovers. Id recommend going if you have someone who loves fish and another who doesn't. The food caters for all! Service with a smile, the owner is lovely, funny and always happy. One of my and my partners favorite places. We go every year for valentines such a nice atmosphere

We went to Antonio's this evening for a birthday meal. Such a lovely restaurant, everything was amazing! The food is perfect, we had the tapas and it was amazing ! We will be back soon!

Love Antonio's. Great food, relaxed atmosphere and friendly service.

Absolutely beautiful food of such an amazing standard, exceptional service and such a lovely place to eat out. Its mine and my husbands favourite restaurant I love each and every visit, Highly recommended Antonio’s special beef stroganoff 👌🏼.

Antonio's is the perfect place for celebrations. Such a warm and welcoming atmosphere for couples, friends and families. There are specials each week and if you have young children they are happy to be flexible and make something to order. Thank you for many special memories ❤

Lovely pre xmas evening meal with wife and son. Cosy spot with attentive and courteous service. Most importantly, fairly decent food throughout not compromised by an extensive choice. May have liked my sauce accompanying pork a little thicker and the meat was a little tough, but minor criticisms.... many places nearby overpriced and microwaved .with 'packet mash'..ugh!! - Will go again and recommend Thankyou Antonio and staff x

We had friends staying so took them to Antonio's on a weekday. Everything was lovely from start to finish. The service was excellent, the food had lots of flavour, was beautifully presented and hot on arrival. Lots of food to choose from....tapas, menu of the day, alacarte, lots of fish and meat dishes so will suit all tastes. Reasonably priced too.

Amazing! It feels like being back home :)

Very friendly staff and amazing food

So for my 25th birthday I was treated to a meal at Antonio's and, Honest just had one of the best meals I've ever had, the service was exceptional the food was to die for, it really did feel like I was back in Spain.... I had the deep fryer squid for my stater and the 9 Oz fillet steak for main.. it was just incredible it melted in the mouth the veg was lovely a fresh and cooked to perfection, I would highly recommend this restaurant not many people know about it because of its location and consideration the state of Fareham high street we need to support our local restaurants so please give it a try and that price was amazing considering it was for 4 of us

Delicious food and a great choice available. Service was quick and we'll definitely be returning.

Very welcoming, lovely atmosphere! Food was absolutely delicious. Thank you for an excellent meal :)

We went for Tapas and we weren't disappointed! A good selection available and delicious too. Very well looked after by our wonderful host Antoniou and his lovely wife. Definitely be going back to try the fresh fish next time.

We have been here many times. Food is excellent! Probably the most redeeming feature Fareham has to offer.

The service was impeccable and hilarious too. The food was to die for and the fish was so fresh. One of the best cheese boards I have had. I am still wondering why I have never been here before. It certainly will become a firm favourite place for dinner.

Absolutely recommended. Amazing food.

Birthday lunch for 4, 13 tapas and three desserts and all excellent. Made to feel very welcome by the owner, Tony.

Fabulous meal, we couldn't decide between all the delicious choices on the menu so ordered a bit at a time and rhey were very accommodating (sorry chef!), all food was amazing

Fantastic choice, wonderful service and friendly staff

Great service friendly atmosphere

Antonio is amazing and he staff are really helpful. Food is of very high quality and delicious.... the only problem is that there is so much choice! Definitely will eat here again. Thank you

Never had a bad experience. Great hosts, fantastic food. 👍👍

We went here last night for a belated Mothers Day Meal, 4 ladies in total. It was fabulous! The host was attentive, accommodating and humorous. The portions were very generous, and delicious, cooked to perfection. Cannot believe we never knew it was here, will definitely be back .

Every time we visit we have the most outstanding food and service!

Below the average food and extremely overpriced. The chicken breast with mushroom sauce is, in fact, three dry and tasteless tiny stripes with some mushroom stripes soaked in an uncertain salty gravy. The so called Brussels pate was strikingly similar to what you can buy from lidl/aldi. Two courses for £20. Nowhere near a proper Spanish/Italian restaurant/eatery. You open the door and it smells like fried fish, worse than in a fish'n chips shop. Not sure if the Maître D' was the owner as well, but it's a false positivity what he displays. My advice? Don't!

Wonderful meal, wonderful company. The staff are very friendly and efficient. The Chef is amazing. Antonio we will return.

Fabulous lunch with hubby a very warm welcome, food was delicious we will be back.

Great place, absolutely loved everything about our visit. The food was absolutely delicious, we had the tapas. But, in a rarity these days, it was the service that impressed us most. Couldn't recommend highly enough.

Had a wonderfully relaxed tapas lunch. Great choice, fresh, great flavours, well presented, good atmosphere and great hosting

Have always had fantastic food, lots of seafood dishes available. The owner is a lovely character, always fun and welcoming. The staff are very friendly and efficient. Definitely recommend Antonio's.

Fantastic service, amazing food

First visit here and I'll definitely be going back! The food was absolutely delicious, I had the scallops and they were the best I'd ever eaten. We had a jug of sangria to drink which made a nice change from other restaurants. Tony was absolutely hilarious, but professional at the same time. Looking forward to my next visit 😊

Great food, friendly staff, what more could you want?

Amazing food, amazing staff.... made us feel very welcome. Tony is a wonderful and funny host.

BRILLIANT place to find as I was walking in Fareham town. It has a small staff, so best to book ahead. However, we were able to enjoy a great evening with lovely food served with a flourish.

Lovely food, service and ambience. The main point to note is a huge range of choices on the menu, especially lots of seafood.

Great reception by Antonio - we had fish as recommended which didn’t disappoint. Fresh, flavourful and joy to eat. Forced myself to have a dessert as was so tempted by the Torrijas which was sweet, light and creamy. We’ll be visiting again soon.

This was one of the best meals I have had in many a year. Superb choice of food fantastically served and great ambiance. You will be surprised.

First time visiting Antonio's and I know it won't be the last. Great atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff lead by the main man himself "Antonio". Food and drinks were excellent, great experience all round. Will definitely be back soon.

Food took too long, the rest of the party had eaten before my meal came out. Small portion, generally a poor experience.

One of our most favourite eateries... Always friendly and super attentive when your wine glasses need topping up.. Always great food.

The food was so delicious! Comfort food at it's best. The staff were very friendly and the atmosphere was great.

Excellent as ever and so friendly

Staff were amazing, service impeccable as was the food and drink! We were visiting in the area, but would definitely return again. Highly recommended 👌 👍.

Poor food, slightly rude service. Would not return

Excellent meal and service as usual. Well done, Antonio.

Very extensive choice of tapas menu, we felt like we were in the Spain we have been missing! Thoroughly recommend it!

Delicious Tapas, Indulgent desserts. Extremely attentive and friendly staff. Complete enjoyment.

Antonio is very friendly, welcoming and funny. The whole staff are nice as well. Efficient and thorough in their presentation and service. Food is excellent, the smell of the food coming out to other people smells delicious even after eating your own. Full on flavour and well presented. Good prices as well, not too expensive at all. Highly recommended, will definitely go back.

Really nice restaurant, great service and great food

Fabulous food and huge selection. I'm a gluten free diner with other allergies and was struggling to choose. Wonderful service and price unbelievable good.
