Antilia Jaffa

A lovely outdoor cafe set in a residential courtyard. Indoor and outdoor seating. Self - ordering kiosk with a simple menu of excellent pastas, some salads or apps, and a couple desserts. Seat yourself at a wide selection of seating - we sat outside on a lovely evening. About $15 - $20 US per dish. (A nice break from middle eastern dishes - this is all Italian food)

Wonderful pasta We got the the “red butter” and the ones with the different kind of mushrooms and we enjoyed every bite ! The wine is quite expensive if i am being perfectly honest and could be cheaper Not much tables inside, so you will probably sit outside

Mediocre spaghetti for 60 shekels. Average Tel-Aviv experience! The salad was good. Also they don’t serve plates, you need to pick up them, and I got a message that my order is ready but in reality only salad was made so I had to check out if they made pasta after that (because no second notification).

Cute wine / pasta bar in Jaffa, with a nice atmosphere and decorations and plenty of seating room. No waiters - you order from a machine, you pick up the food from the counter when ready. I don't mind these 2 aspects, and it has its advantages (even though having more machines to order from so that you don't have to wait in line would help). However, you are also asked to return all the dishes/glasses to a designated area yourself and even sort them out, which kinda makes the experience weird. I don't want to get food leftovers on my clothes when trying to sort out the cutlery and plates, and in general this part doesn't really fit in with the rest of the restaurant vibe. Had 2 pasta dishes which were great + a salad which was good. Also had the tiramisu which was good. Prices were regular restaurant prices. For wine, there are a few changing by-the-glass options, and more options for bottles, with (to my impression) some emphasis on more new-wave/natural wines (but definitely not exclusively). White / light-red wines are stored in the same fridge as soft drinks which isn't ideal (not sure other red wines are chilled at all). Wine prices were also fairly typical. Given price range was for 1 starter, 2 mains, 2 glasses of wine & 1 dessert (for 2 people).

Delicious house-made pasta dishes in a young and cool restaurant. Delicious salad and good wine choice. Nice indoor and outdoor seating in quiet Jaffa neighbourhood. You will not be disappointed!
