Antimo’s Italian Kitchen: Authentic Italian Cuisine in Hopewell, NJ

Dined here for the first time on the recommendation of friends. Found the pizza to be excellent with a wide range of toppings. We had a red pie with calabrian chilis and a pie with prosciutto and fig jam for the table to sample. We followed up with various entrees which were all very solid. I would definitely return when in the area.

Enjoyed Mussel, bread, calamari and the caprese salad. The ravioli was too creamy and Salmon could have done with some seasoning and a just a fewer vegetables. The chicken Parmesan was flavourful.

This place truly feels like a hidden treasure. From the outside you would never guess how warm and charming the inside is. The weather was a bit rough that night, so we ended up with a peaceful and almost private Friday dinner, which felt like a lovely surprise. The interior is adorable and would be perfect for a baby shower or any special celebration. Service was friendly from start to finish and the food kept impressing us. The menu is packed with amazing choices. We ordered the peach caprese to start, then shared the lobster ravioli and a pizza. Every single bite was outstanding. Everything tasted so good that we already wanted to plan our next visit while still sitting at the table. I would gladly recommend this spot to everyone and I will absolutely return. Five stars all the way.

3/27/24 - my 1st visit to this fabulous gem Italian Restaurant: Antimo’s. So worth the short trip from Flemington on a Wednesday evening! Max the server — sweet and charismatic, kudos to Antimo the chef. The eggplant parm was a huge hit with very large portion (took over half home) and the margharita pizza was divine. (two meals worth from the “individual” size). Staff surprised friend with a candle in a cannoli for a special birthday. Cannoli was the best birthday cake! Dined in but also ordered steak stromboli and meatballs to bring home. They both smell Devine in car on way home! Highly recommend and I will be back! Definitely recommend checking this place out for a fabulous meal — dine in or take-out (cute, quaint dinning room has a humorous surprise parked in the corner!)

A burst of flavorful dishes, very friendly staff and service, and the owner is attentively personable. To me this IS an Italian kitchen. So much so that I really don't mind driving 10 miles to satisfy my taste for exceptional pizza.... I even ate the crust because it was baked to perfection and wasn't too thick. I will definitely visit again and bring my friends. Thank you Antimo's!

Antimo’s has been my wife and I's go-to spot for pick-up since moving to Hopewell last summer. We’ve lived all over the country, and this is easily one of our favorite family-run Italian restaurants anywhere. I recently experienced a small miscommunication with our order, but the owner went out of his way to make things right. In one interaction, I went from slightly annoyed to a lifelong customer. From the quality of the food to the owners and the hard-working kitchen staff, you can feel good about spending your money here. I’ll be a regular as long as I’m in the area. Much respect.

Visited with friends who live in the area and got lots of great food in a nice atmosphere and wonderful service. The Calamari was excellent, arrived hot and crispy with both tentacles and rings with a nice marinara sauce that they provided extra to the table as it was a party of five. They also delivered a nice bread basket with a herb olive oil dipping sauce to the table at seating. We ordered two pizzas one with sausage which was nice chunks of uncased sweet Italian sausage. Also got a nice Greek salad with olives and feta cheese. Two panini sandwiches were ordered and enjoyed as well. Staff kept the bottles of ice water topped off. Interior seating was good for a large party to be able to talk and enjoy the meal. They gave use a plate of cannolis at the end of the meal which was very nice!

Antimo’s is our favorite local Italian restaurant! My husband and I absolutely love their food, especially the homemade pasta, which is always fresh and delicious. The service is wonderful, and every visit leaves us feeling happy and satisfied. When we were planning our baby shower, we couldn’t think of a better place. The private room was perfect, and coordinating with the staff was incredibly easy. Everything came together beautifully, and our guests had such a great time. We loved the experience and would happily host another event here in the future. Antimo’s is a true gem, both for an everyday meal and for life’s special celebrations.
