About Antica Bath Restaurant
A family-run Italian in Walcot where the staff notice things — an anniversary gets a glass of bubbly before you've even ordered, and a waiter like Raj makes the whole table feel looked after. The room is cosy and warm, with classic Italian music setting the pace for a long, unhurried meal. The pasta is what people keep coming back for: seafood pasta and risotto lead the menu by a distance, with lobster tail and swordfish pulling serious attention too. Slow-cooked lamb and calamari show the kitchen's range beyond the sea, and the tiramisu is the way to finish. The person running the floor has a way of making the whole room laugh, which is either exactly what you want on a Sunday lunch or a very welcome surprise on a weeknight.
Antica Bath Restaurant earns its romantic reputation through both atmosphere and a serious wine selection — the kind of place where a dinner for two tends to extend well past dessert.
In the last 90 days, Antica Bath Restaurant has drawn 26 substantial written reviews (50+ characters of genuine feedback) — recent momentum that is one of the signals behind its place on the hot list.
