Antica Restaurant & Wine Bar
At this locally popular spot, some stone and brick walls, barn doors, plenty of dark wood tables, and a bar area establish a comfortable, casual atmosphere for enjoying tasty handmade pastas and other Italian dishes. Wine choices aren't extensive, but the food menus are lengthy, with lunch options including pastas and sandwiches such as a chicken parmigiana sandwich, and dinner choices like veal saltimboca and crab and lobster ravioli. Among the numerous appetizers offered at lunch and dinner are grilled octopus and tuna crudo. Antica is right on Baltimore Pike, next to Brandywine Prime, a steakhouse. It's easy to miss; if you go past Creek Road, you've gone too far.
