Antico Restaurant Durham

About Antico Restaurant Durham

Sunday lunch with a table of five works here as easily as a date night, which tells you something — the kitchen turns out proper Italian cooking without making children feel like an inconvenience. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, and free parking, so the arrival scramble is mercifully short. Portions are generous and the food genuinely good: lobster ravioli in a shellfish bisque people talk about for weeks, lasagne, cod with pancetta, and homemade chips that even the fussy eaters seem to finish. Staff are attentive and quick, which matters when someone's patience is running out. The decor is smart and the atmosphere leans warm rather than rowdy — lovely for a family meal, though it's a place adults celebrate at too, so book ahead for weekends and expect a calmer, more grown-up room than a typical high-street chain.
