Nestled in the small Pocono town of Delaware Water Gap is the absolutely charming Antelao Restaurant. This restaurant is housed in a beautiful Victorian house surrounded by a gorgeous, colorful garden. The bright and cheery dining area is on the small side with no more than six or seven tables so the mood is definitely on the intimate and very personal level.
The menu is simple, seasonal, creative and wonderful. There's just about something to please everyone - from the picky vegetarian to the die hard carnivore. We settled on the summer crepe (good but a bit heavy on the ricotta), calamari (deliciously braised and flavorful), the chicken Antelao (huge, original and excellent) and the roasted duck breast (tender, succulent and rich). The dinner came with salads with a very nice cream dill dressing and dinner rolls which were warm, fresh and pretty much irresistible.
Service is beyond stellar. Co-owner/wife, Elvi, is friendly, animated and an absolute doll. She answered all our questions, offered excellent advice, and described everything thoroughly and with such flair! All our dishes came out in a timely order and we never felt rushed or waiting.
Since it's so small, advance reservations are a must. It's also BYOB (with a small corking fee for wine), so feel free to bring your own libations. Prices are mid-range and frankly, I'd pay a lot more for this kind of quality food and level of service.
After such a fantastic meal, I can't believe I never came here sooner. Though it's a bit out of the way from my normal dining destinations, Antelao is really is a phenomenal restaurant and definitely worth the little drive. Kudos, Antelao, kudos.

Always happy guests...!
Reviewed by Cindy Way, 2007-09-04 We have a Bed and Breakfast in the area and always recommend Antelao's to our guests for outstanding food and a wonderful dining experience. All our guests come home raving about the food, hosts and lovely garden. Highly recommended--but make advance reservations and arrive on time!

The Very Best!!!
Reviewed by Sean Millard, 2007-02-01 We have been dining here since they first opened and can honestly say there is no better dining experience around. The food quality is second to none and the service is top notch. It is a true gem in the Poconos and you would be hard pressed to find better dining, even in large cities. It is where we send all of our friends and out of towners looking for the very best dining experience.
ps: Try Elvie's Tiramisu. It is the best!
