Review Antica Australis - Carcoar

Amazing dinner in amazing small town. What a treat! Make sure to book your own exquisite dining experience.

Where to start with this incredible experience! Antica Australis is a culinary gem. Kelly & Paolo have done an exceptional job at creating an intimate setting, paired with passionate stories that inspire each dish makes this a true dining experience. All the food is procured locally and the dishes are exceptional. The 'Locanda' style takes the stress / FOMO out of fine dining - it is a set menu and each course comes out simultaneously for all diners. Highly recommended!

Amazing lunch with guest chef, Hugh Piper. Fabulous Peruvian cuisine.

What an amazing experience at Antica, which isn’t surprising at all since Kelly is a superb host and Paolo cooks amazing Ciocarian feast. Their AGFG Chef Hat is absolutely well deserved. It makes such a wonderful weekend away visiting Carcoar and the Orange region. The fact that Antica is BYO is even better, do yourself a favour and enjoy a long lunch at Antica. We have been big fans of Kelly and Paolo since their Silver Compass days and they never fail us - Kelly was also very understanding when we had to cancel a previous booking due to COVID. Can't wait to visit Antica again.

We had the privilege of experiencing Antica today. WOW! The food, the stories, the atmosphere were all amazing. Thank you to Kelly and Paolo for a superb afternoon. We highly recommend Antica.

If you want a wonderful food experience in central NSW then visit this quaint village and book a wonderful meal at Antica - food and service was outstanding! And Kelly even allowed us to rebook at no extra cost when we had to cancel at very short notice our first reservation. The whole experience was just a treat!

From Paolo's unrivalled food artistry, to Kelly's engaging stories connecting you to the history of each of the incredible dishes, Antica is certainly an experience that you won't forget. Sit back and let the set menu take you to the heart of Italy. True to their moto 'not a restaurant', Antica is like no other when it comes to one-of-a-kind, made-with-love bespoke dining. Absolutely worth spending a weekend in Carcoar just to experience Antica (and their Panna Cotta!).

What is this!? We were treated to a fantastic bush tucker inspired menu in the lovely setting of Carcoar. Sharing some (awesomely BYO) wine and conversation with our hosts was a joy - amazing to see their vision realised and, indeed, flourishing. We’re already planning our next visit - perhaps we’ll need another bottle... or two!
