A Knowsley restaurant is celebrating after bagging an award in the prestigious Good Food Awards 2023.
Antonio's Bar and Grill has won a trifecta of awards this year, with its coveted Blue Ribbon from the Good Food Awards the most recent. Though the full list of winners will not be announced until November 1, restaurants who've secured an award are permitted to share the news with their customers and fans.
The team at Antonio's Bar and Grill took to social media to reveal the win, where they told followers they were "overwhelmed" after securing a Good Food Award for the second year in a row. The annual awards, which have been running since 2002, aim to "recognise those who strive for culinary excellence within their field".

The Good Food Awards are free to enter and are "entirely based on merit". They adhere to a strict and rigorous judging process, with votes cast for the finalists by readers, customers and fans.
In a post on social media celebrating the win, the team at Antonio's Bar and Grill said: "This restaurant will never be about the number of covers it can serve, but more about providing an intimate dining experience where each guest feels so welcome as if it was their own home and leave us as friends. We would like to take the opportunity to thank all of you that continue to support, without all of you none of this is possible and the biggest thank you to our team!
"Our fantastic front of house, our amazing chefs and kitchen team, these awards prove the level of consistency and effort the team gives in achieving gastro and hospitality perfection. Thank you all of you for the journey so far!"
The restaurant's win at the Good Food Awards is the third accolade for the business this year, after it secured a TripAdvisor Travellers' Choice Award and was named Boutique Restaurant of the Year at the Corporate Live Wire Innovation and Excellence Awards.
The restaurant is also hoping to be crowned Restaurant of the Year at the MIB Awards, and Micro Business of the Year at the Knowsley Business Awards. Antonio's Bar and Grill is based at 1 Shop Road, Knowsley, Liverpool, Prescot L34 0HD.
