 Loved this place when it was in the Southside. It is very mediocre now. AND
 expensive! I think they do a big business in Entertainment card stuff, which
 is why the prices are so wacky.

 A friend of mine introduced me to Antonini's several years ago when it was
 on the Southside. Since then my wife & I have dined there several times a
 year. We think it has gotten even better since moving to its current
 location although getting there from our home in Shadyside during rush hour
 on a Friday night can be a pain. Every meal I've had there has been well
 worth the money! It's my favorite Pittsburgh Italian restaurant.
