Antonio's II Pizza & Grinders 1 South Street, Bernardston, MA 01337

"I love how blunt and quick they are with ordering. The pizza is always perfect if not better than anything else you can get in an a 2 hour distance. I would know I’m from the New Haven area. The Italian sub is what I’ve been searching for since moving here 7 years ago. Nothing compares. I’d give 10 stars if I could."

"I had been searching for an authentic Italian grinder in the area. I am so glad I happened upon Antonios II in Bernardston. A small, casual place with good Italian food and great service at affordable prices."

"The calzones were amazing! Too big for either of us to finish! The sauce they serve with it is absolutely out of this world!! We even got some to bring home for the rest of our calzones. The service was superb! This was my first time eating here. We definitely will be back again. Thank you for a wonderful dinner."

"The pizza here was very good. The mozzarella they used is low fat so the pizza was not super greasy and the pizza sizes are very generous. The small is 14". I ended up finishing about half of it on my own only because my friend and I finished a backpacking trip. The prices they have are honestly incredible. If I hadn't been very hungry when I got off the trail I'd have likely done the pizza and salad deal they had. I didn't take any pictures for these deals, but it was something like a pizza slice, salad, and drink for $6-7. Incredible! Lastly, this place advertises themselves as "a taste of New York ". The person at the counter helps finalize this experience. Personally I liked him. He was the "rough around the edges but kind" type. However, as per many of the low star comments, some people might not take that too well. I observed him when he wasn't speaking to customers and when regulars came in and that joking yet kind heartedness still showed, especially with the old ladies that were definitely regulars. Whenever I'm in the area again I'd definitely stop by again. Can't beat the prices, the food was good, the bathroom was clean, and they made sure to keep the tables clean as customers came in and out. Just be sure to bust your dishes!"

"Food is fresh, PLENTIFUL and oh so delicious! OK, maybe the fella there isn't all warm and fuzzy. Maybe his directness or rough edge offends or hurts sensitive feelings. Don't take it personally. We think he's a nice guy, just his way. He's a fabulous cook (his marinara sauce is to die for!). The gal that works there more than makes up for the kind of customer service people expect. My husband and I make Antonio's a "must visit" when we come to town. We don't know the owners but accept the personalities as unique and part of the experience. If you need to be "handled" as part of the food experience and miss out on Antonio's because of some of the reviews, it's really your loss. The food from salads to calzones are the best and did I mention portion sizes to feed a small army!? Worth it in every way!!!"
