• Article in the Cascade Voice, February 11, 1983 issue, page 23 SIMPLE ITALIAN ELEGANCE “Tucked away in the historic Yamhill District Antonio, a very intimate and romantic restaurant, brings a touch of simple Italian elegance to downtown Portland. Decorated in rose and blue tones, a tile floor dotted with small candle-lit tables, Antonio is the ideal setting for romance or quiet conversation over sophisticated Italian dishes. Tony Lagana, the person responsible for Antonio, personally insures that his dishes are prepared with the authenticity of his native Rome. Trained in restaurants in Rome, Florence, and Venice, Tony is constantly on the watch that his standards are maintained.” [portion of the article]
