Antonio's in Fareham

Fully enjoyed it here Antonio is a top drawer front of house! His team were all so good too! As for the food, my word amazing! From start to finish. Highly recommended!!

Treated like royalty from start to finish . Mum & Dad’s favourite restaurant in the country. Travelled down from Yorkshire just for the food . Thank you for making them so welcome.

Lovely atmosphere and a wonderful host! the food is absolutely fantastic. My partner and I have gone to Antonio's several times and we always order tapas. The food never falters. It's our go to spot in Fareham for a date night.

Excellent evening with friends at Antonio’s some had even come from Calshot so we were delighted when this first time visit to this restaurant will definitely not be the last. Wonderful and friendly service and food and wine just delicious!

Once again a five star experience from Antonio and his team. Superb cuisine, prompt, friendly service in a cosy atmosphere. All of our party thoroughly enjoyed the evening and we won't be leaving it too long for a return visit.

Enjoyed our evening at Antonio's but a bit disappointed with the Menu and non availability of some items. If I was to be critical there are 2 many different menus and reading them off a chalk board in a dimly lit area is difficult and makes it hard to make your choices especially when they are mounted on the wall next to someone else's table. Nice atmosphere and service was excellent. Will give them another try in the new year.

We started with a few tapas, patatas brava, could have been a little spicier for me and the patatas a little crisper. Gambas al ajillo and champiniones al ajillo and despite my earlier comments it was all excellent. Mains of whole Dorada(bream) and hake fillets, both cooked to perfection, with fresh vegetables perfectly cooked for me. We had a carajillo to finish. Service and atmosphere superb. Worthy of my rating.

July 2023 Service was 1st class. This was our first time visiting and we will hopefully make this our regular now. We were looked after and the food was lovely. The atmosphere was special and the food was yummy. My partner is in a wheelchair and was helped in on the ramp, which was really appreciated. Tony, the owner, made our visit personal and memorable.

From making our reservation, to greeting at the door and the attentive service that followed nothing was too much trouble and much appreciated by our party The food was superb with 3 of us electing for double fish courses because the available selection was so wide and tempting. The vegetarian options were varied but Toni was happy to modify / adjust to my wife’s preference without batting an eyelid. Thoroughly recommended

Our friend who lives in London came to visit us for the weekend and we chose Antonio’s as a great independent experience. As ever Antonio’s delivered! Great welcome, chat and food. Coming to this restaurant is always an experience and our friend was just as happy. The house Sauvignon blanc is a big recommend too!

The food was fine, but the front of house waiter (owner) was rude and condescending. This view was a shared experience by all 4 of us on our table. Rather than welcoming us into his restaurant he berated us for being a little early. Some of the order was late arriving.

Visiting local area went to Antonio's as husband found it online. Very busy with great atmosphere on arrival, staff friendly and attentive and food was absolutely delicious would return if in the area again.

As always Toni everything was outstanding! We love coming to see you all and Jake will be back soon for his ham and cheese croquettes.

We always enjoy visiting Antonio's. He is a very personable man, for whom nothing is too much trouble. His aim is to please. He has had the same staff for decades, which speaks volumes. The menu is very varied and you can be assured everything is delicious and of fine quality. The ambience is very pleasing. The bare red brick walls give a warmth to the place and give it the feel of a cavern. Background music is very subtle; it's barely audible but quietly and unobtrusively fills any void. The main courses range in price from around £16 - around £28. There is an a la carte, a fish and a tapas menu. Good wines are also on offer. A great place for a fun meal with friends and also for romantic meals.

Really great service, Tony so funny and welcoming - made us feel special. Nothing too much trouble. The food was really excellent, freshly cooked and so tasty. All four of us had the sirloin steak for mains and they were perfectly cooked to everyone’s exact taste. The best food and service for miles around.

From the moment I rang to book a table, I knew we were in for an experience. I'm sure it was the owner (presumably Antonio) who answered "Antonios, it's a beautiful day, how can I make it better?". I've never heard that before, and it made me chuckle. Despite it being just after 18:00, we were offered a table for 19:30. The specials and a la carte are fairly pricey, so we opted for the set menu, with some reasonable choices. We decided to share a starter, and would share a desert. The mackerel starter was simple, and delicious. My main, of whiting and mussels in a butter sauce, with potatoes and veg, was delicious. My wifes main, chicken in a paprika sauce, was enjoyed immensely. Antonio said he invented this one - well done Antonio. The desert, a piece of caramelised brioche in a vanilla cream sauce was exceptional - one of the nicest things I've ever eaten. A bottle of the house white was nearly £20, which I thought was probably a bit dear. The host was very entertaining, friendly but professional. Our servers were great. All in all, a great meal. I hope we get the chance to visit again one day.

First time here and definitely not the last. Amazing service from Tony and the team. Food was served quickly and perfectly. Thank you all!

We really should just keep coming back here, rather than trying other places. This was a midweek wedding anniversary meal on what was a quiet night for Antonio's. However, the attention to detail in the food and service didn't slip. The food again was nothing short of perfect and Tony was his usual self, happy and attentive. We starved ourselves and chose the full 3 courses. We had bream and swordfish and it was superbly cooked.

Very friendly staff and host, food excellent and different, great atmosphere, good wine list at reasonable prices

This is a great restaurant with such a friendly and welcoming feel. As soon as you step in the door you are made so welcome by the very personalised service by all of the staff and especially Antonio. The food is definately first rate and...

Amazing food and amazing service again as always. This place is special. The food is outstanding and the staff are always friendly

As ever perfect, after many years of visiting Antonio’s it never disappoints. Antonio makes you feel so special and the food is always fantastic. The best option for food in fareham ❤️

There's much to be said about the exquisite atmosphere offered by Antonio's. You are made to feel at home immediately. This is, without exaggerating, the best restaurant in Fareham.

We had been looking for a good Spansih restuarant for some time had unfortunately dismissed Antonio's based on their website. What a mistake. When we finaly went we were so impressed by the choice of food and the service. The food was delicious and we...

After listening to how good this place was for ages we decided we needed to try it out on our recent trip to Fareham to visit family. We certainly were not disappointed. The food was delicious and the selection was amazing. The staff were very...

Our granddaughters first restaurant & she loved it . Superb Spanish food at exceptional value for money

Really great atmosphere and outstanding customer service. I attended a fundraiser event there and the food was top notch. Looking forward to a visit and eat from the a la carte menu

My wife and I have never tried tapas before. We vaguely knew the concept and other than that just knew it sounded a bit rude in english! Antonio was on hand to explain how it worked to us as we weren't sure if you kept...

Absolutely outstanding again. The best restaurant on the south coast. Service, food and atmosphere second to none. Amazing

We actually had their full tapas menu for our table of four for my sons birthday. You do need to ask for two tapas at a time so it doesn’t all arrive at the same time(!). Lovely Spanish food, well cooked and delicious. No issues...

A return whilst we are in the area to what is one of the best independent restaurants in Fareham. Your absolutely delightful waitresses with Antonio full of bonhomie leading from the front. An atmospheric Friday night. Excellent food and wine with a tapas option. Reasonable...

Surroundings a little dark. No atmosphere and main host did not appear authentic. Our starter looked anemic and my napkin had an old dark stain of food on it. But the bill for two best part of 80.00. For two starters two mains three drinks....

Had a fabulous evening with a great meal & lovely company as always Tapas was fantastic and the Desserts were worth every calorie. Highly recommended 5* Food & Service. Thank you.

went with friends, the food as always was great. Service was spot on, very efficient Always get a warm welcome here, Tony and his staff are really friendly

We visited with two friends for lunch on a Thursday. It was heavily booked and we had to accept a 14.00 booking. The set menu is £20 for two dishes and £25 for three. There is plenty of choice, including Catch of the Day, which...

Found this place by accident and I can honestly say it was amazing. The service and the food were really good and we were made to feel welcome as soon as we walked in. I would highly recommend to anyone we will definitely be back.

We opted for the Tapas menu, all where very nice but had to leave the chicken Trisha, as it was tasteless, dry and rubbery, no chicken flavour at all. We felt very rushed by the service team even though we had the table for two...

Absolutely brilliant as always. Outstanding service and food. Amazing 10-10 Tony and the team smashed it out of the ballpark again.

By a long way, this is the place to eat if you're anywhere between Weymouth and Brighton. The restaurant is small and welcoming, the smile, conversation, and attention to detail from the owner is second to none, the service from everyone else is faultless. We've...

First visit... have often looked at it and thought we would visit and today we did..certainly no disappointment. What a warm and friendly welcome..The food and choice is amazing...we will certainly be back and highly recommended

Great to be back, had a lovely meal and the normal great welcome from Antonio. Staff are brilliant as always

Great to see Antonios back in action, we visit as often as we can and he never fails us, good service, good food and good value. The fish today was just perfect, so light and delicate, top marks again Tony.

We thought we would lift our spirits and go out tonight . Delighted we chose Antonio’s , great welcome and atmosphere. The food was to die for freshly cooked and our daughter was catered for who’s vegan . We had let them know when booking...

So we felt really safe and well looked after . As always the food was absolutely delicious . Glad to be able to have an evening out also supporting a local business.

We visited Antonio's this evening with our young children,having been previously, before having our 9 month old. We ordered the paella in advance and it was absolutely exquisite. Tony recommended that it was a large portion and probably best not to order a starter, which...

Beautiful place, with beautiful owners and most beautiful food.. Even in these adverse times Antonio made time to make it special along with the staff and amazing food..Great job guys...x

Have eaten in most of the restaurants in Fareham couple of good ones and a lot of average one's Looked on trip advisor and Antonio’s had very good reviews Never tried the restaurant before we always walked passed it,so we had lunch there today. WOW...

Thanks so much for a lovely evening, great food, great service, great wine. A little bit of Spain in Fareham. 😁

We're lucky enough to have been back to Antonio's twice since reopening from Lockdown - and it hasn't stopped the exceptional service you always receive from Tony and his team. The food remains exceptional, with a varied menu offering A La Carte, Fixed Price, a...

Absolutely superb. Have visited this restaurant countless times over the year, so was excited to get back after Lockdown. The measures put in place made us feel comfortable, safe and at ease and the restaurant still had the friendly, welcoming atmosphere that we have come...

We had lunch here today. Service was first class, the food was excellent, we will definitely be back.

My husband and I come here a lot. It is a safe and clean environment. The food is always fabulous and my allergies are well catered for as I know everything is cooked from fresh. The pudding is made especially for me without alcohol. Tony...

We had a lovely evening at Antonio’s. The staff were attentive and friendly and managed the CV situation without it spoiling the atmosphere. Our three courses were absolutely delicious and we would not hesitate to return. Thank you for a super birthday !

As a result of the current Covid-19 situation we found this restaurant offering a takeaway service. Brilliant! Delicious tapas, main course and dessert. Tasty food reasonably priced and available on time. Couldn’t ask for more! Support your local restaurants!

We were staying in fareham and wanted a decent restaurant to celebrate my mates birthday. This restaurant serves wonderful food with a great host and nice staff. If i ever come back to Fareham, I will definitely go back.

Went for an evening meal and decided on the set menu, which represented great value with a good choice. I had the fish soup and my husband had the grilled sardines. Both were delicious. The mains of paprika chicken and fish of the day were...

I love this place - it’s my favourite in town. The food is always amazing, great selection of wines too. Tony is a fab host and the team are a credit to his business. Will ALWAYS return, and always recommend!

Amazing food and amazing service what a fantastic place Tony and the crew have made for a special evening. Fillet steak and Scallops off the charts

I have visited and reviewed before but it definitely deserves another 5* review. For the first time I managed to resist the delicious tapas and ordered from the specials menu. The scallops, served in the shell with garlic, spinach and cheese, were some of the...

We ate in the restaurant last week with friends, I use a wheelchair but took a portable ramp with me to get in the front door. The owner was on hand to help and did everything he could to make me comfortable. We went with...

We have been to Antonio’s several times and never been disappointed, food amazing and the atmosphere is fantastic

Really good food and company as always. The restaurant was very busy but we were all looked after very well.

Excellent food and all beautifully cooked and presented. Really friendly and can’t recommend highly enough. My favourite place

Food menu varied , I had fish not often found in restaurants , delicious Monk fish . Perfectly cooked . The rest of our group were all happy with their choices.

Booked Antonio,s to celebrate our son,s birthday with friends. The food was great with a friendly atmosphere. We’ve been here in the past and will definitely be returning.

We attended a charity evening on behalf of Fareport Talking News and £5 from each of our dinners went to the charity. Both of us had a very generous portion of whitebait to start followed by a sea bream with a delicious sauce. We had...

Not been here for some while. We booked for 7pm, by 9pm it was heaving. Great atmosphere and despite the high numbers, the service was really good. Great fish selection and I cannot understand why we haven’t been for so long. I would certainly recommend.

Booked Antonio's for lunch and a catch up with friends and was not disappointed. I presume we were served by Tony who was very affable and made us feel very comfortable. We had the choice of a very extensive menu but chose to go for...

I've been here for lunch a couple of times, on both occasions I had a selection of tapas. Food is tasty, service excellent.

We had been reccomended this restaurant by a friend who is really fussy about food. We were not dissapointd! The fish (in which they specialise) was so fresh it was a revelation. Visited again some weeks later and my wife had a filet steak -...

We have been living in Fareham for two years now and we love this place, the staff are so friendly & welcoming and the food is delicious. The paprika pork is my absolute fave.

What great service, fantastic food and value for money with the lunchtime Tapas Menu! We’ve been meaning to visit for ages! We will be back really soon! Thank you!

A group of us visited for the first time in June, we liked it so much that we returned as a couple for our anniversary, lots to choose from and great service, will definitely return

Our first visit to this restaurant proved successful. We hadnt booked and there was no quibbling about walking in off the street. The front of house man is Antonio. The restaurant is authentically Spanish in its cuisine both with Tapas and full menu. We had...

We took friends from the Highlands to Antonio's for the first time. They thoroughly enjoyed it - as we always do - and were very impressed that Antonio organised a special vegetarian dish for one of them. Antonio was as attentive as ever and we...

We booked on a whim on a Saturday afternoon for the evening, for us and our three children, 6-11 years old. Antonio was helpful and made room for us. Inside is a cool and very homely restaurant, with a genuine Spanish feel. This somewhat lulled...

My partner and I went to Antonio's a few weeks ago. I was very disappointed. We ordered scallops for starters and when our overpriced and over cooked dish arrived we learned we had one whole scallop with another cut in half and served as two....

Just had the best evening at antonios. Great seafood starters....seafood pasta and house pasta special...what a fabulous ambience ..full of locals.always a good sign .lovely background music..and antonio himself working the floor..great start to our pre ferry holiday

First, don't be fooled by the exterior! Antonio's is housed in a dour looking building, thanks to the rubbish architecture of Fareham's West Street. When inside, it all changes! Nicely decorated, and with a warm and friendly welcome from all the staff there, we went...

Came here on a Friday night with friends based purely on the reviews and we were not disappointed. We arrived at 7pm and the restaurant was already half full and we were shown to our table. Service throughout the night was excellent, at a pace...

I have visited Antonio’s several times now and know that the staff are very attentive and accommodating, the food is always lovely with a good choice. I cook at home so when I eat out I always like to choose something I don’t cook myself....

We went here on a busy Saturday evening, make sure you book ahead for Fri and Sat nights otherwise you may be disappointed unless you a very early diner. On entering Toni meets you at the door and guides you to your table on which...

Visited Toni at Antonio's again, special event (although Toni unaware of this) Usual welcomes from the host on arrival, Just like you're his long lost uncle or cousin, always made to feel welcome, snappy with sorting you a drink and getting the menus and that...
