Hi, and thank you for choosing
Antonio’s today!

                  This week is the anniversary of our grand opening in 1964. It is amazing to me how far we have come from our original store across the street in Holloway’s Shopping Center. We started in a store that is now the left one-third of Harvest Bakery and were able to save enough to purchase the tobacco field we now sit on in 1973.

     My sisters and I grew up at our family restaurant through the 60’s and 70’s and it was here in 1981 that I, as a 17-year-old pizza cook first met and started dating my future wife; a 16-year-old “salad girl” named Lisa Pagani.

     I am proud to still be living in Simsbury running our family’s eatery and am curious if any of my children will continue the tradition that began when my grandparents on both sides came to this wonderful country in the 1930’s.

     From a staff of Mom and Dad, we have grown to a staff of almost 50. I have shared this life with our staff and it is these family members that I credit with our longevity. So, a heartfelt thank you to those that have come and gone, to those that are here, and also to those that are yet to arrive.

Thank you also for your part in our longevity as well!
