Antibo Restaurant

Terrible food, awful service. It feels more like a greasy spoon café (which also describes their «italian» food) than a restaurant, with disposable paper table cloths on cheap wobbly tables and tatty cutlery. All at mid range restaurant prices. Never again without a serious change in direction.
If I could give it zero stars, I would

Atmosphere is clinical, often noisy, food generally poor. Staff treat you as if you’re a hindrance.
There is always a better option than here!

We live in a world that assumes that all British food is crap. It is a stereotype that the likes of Gordon Ramsey, Jamie Oliver, and others put together TV shows to try and fight.
And then there are places like Antibos, that barrel through and reinforce the stereotype with nationalistic fervor. The food here is the absolute worst I have ever tasted — both in content and presentation. When I said give me cheesy garlic bread, they brought out a pizza. When I said bring me chicken parmesan, they brought out a boiled breast in a curious white glug (one word non-​descriptive enough, the other would rhyme with scum).
They even got the draught Peroni wrong.
Was there any point complaining, returning, no. Not at all. Alas, this is England.

Great place near the train station, very fresh food for good prices.
Allows a hands on experince for children as they get to decorate their own pizza.

Antibos restaurant is a large establishment just down the road from Derby’s main railway station. Although this restaurant is not in the main drinking area, it isn’t far away by taxi. Antibo’s is very large with a bar set off to the left hand side. We found the drinks to be quite expensive but this is often the case with restaurants. The waiters are fun and relaxed. The pizzas and calzones were large and well cooked. Pasta dishes seemed to be less spectacular. Starters were over priced for what was on offer. Garlic breads were better value. Overall, an excellent choice.

Antibos Italian restaurant in Derby is found near the main railway station in Derby and beside the European Hotel. It is one of the best examples of a typical Italian restaurant I have experienced with the excellent food coupled with friendly waiters and lively atmosphere. The kitchens are in full view of the restaurant and a special area is dedicated to the pizza maker, for children to approach and watch him flinging a base into the air and catch again before adding their specially selected toppings. A great range of dishes includes a meat skewer served hanging from a hook with a sparkler attached for maximum fun impact.

Overall, I encountered an average experience at Antibo’s. With a good selection of food at a competitive price, the restuarant lost out to its noisy atmosphere which ruined the atmosphere somewhat.
It is located on Midland Road which contains many restuarants and takeaways, with a ⁵⁄₁₀ minute walk from the trainstation. Staff were friendly and we only had to wait a short while for a seat which was impressive. Although there was a good selection of food, I felt it wasn’t fantastic quality (but that might just have been my choice of food). It did feel like it was a more expensive version of Franky and Bennys if I’m honest.

It has a very nice inside and I feel I caught it on a slow night, however it did not live up to my expectations and I found the food to be sub standard. I also feel the 10% service charge at the end was not deserved for the standard of service in which we really did recieve.

great Italian food, good atmosphere. very good for a night out. close to the train station. had my hen night here.
