Reviews Summary
Antique Table Restaurant receives high praise for its exceptional service and delicious, scratch-made Italian cuisine, particularly its pasta dishes. While some find the pricing slightly high, the overall experience is consistently lauded, with many returning for special occasions and recommending it as a hidden gem.
"The service was absolutely phenomenal! The food… even better.! We went here previously and were not huge fans but now they are under new ownership. It’s a beautiful fusion of authentic Italian and Latino food. We have been back twice because the menu had so many dishes we wanted to try. Shrimp scampi and beef empanadas were to die for. Bread pudding was the bomb. The manager, Katelyn, well I can’t say enough about her. Professional, warm and authentic. And makes a mean cocktail! We will be back again and again! Would add photos but we cleaned the plates!"

"I went on a solo date and made a reservation which was unnecessary the place was empty when I got there surprisingly for a Friday night. I got a passion fruit mojito which was really good. All thought the food was great I do think they were slightly over priced (as everything in Salem is) still the food was great. The app recommended by the server Briana was good and the gnocchi and shrimp was great sauce was silky and buttery yum!"

"Full restaurant reservation for Rehearsal Dinner & Welcome Party - In late August of 2024 we hosted our wedding in Ipswich / Salem. After researching, and visiting a dozen venues in the area, we landed on the Antique Table to host our rehearsal dinner (30) and welcome party (100+).
- Planning / Communication - Maureen who handles all of the events is an absolute gem. We visited the restaurant twice for dinner prior to the event to try different items and talk through details with her. She was unbelievably accommodating with adds and tweaks (menu, alcohol options etc) and always available for a phone call.
- Food & Drink - Rehearsal dinner food can be quite bland, but this stacks up to the North End. We had a wide range of option for apps and entrees.
- Location - very centralized location right in downtown Salem with plenty of nearby parking. Most of guests walked front heir hotels.
- Venue - The front dinning room comfortably held our 30 person dinner with room to spare. The back patio was great for hosting welcome drinks as most of our guests spent their time outside. We had a buffet of apps set up in the back dinning room which was convenient for those going to the bar.
- Pricing - great quality for food and venue as compared to other venues. We never felt nickel & dimed, and were their #1 priority.
Overall, it was a great experience start to finish with nothing but compliments from our dinner guests."
