Are you serious? I've heard nothing but terrible things about Antonia's from Chowhound and other foodie friends, whereas Ten Tables is a pretty good restaurant.

I think it would be a BIG step up!

I've been to Ten Tables twice and both times was sorely disappointed (the menu is pretty poor as well). Antonia's is the only restaurant in Davis I actually like (and is probably my favorite Italian place in the Boston area, and it seems quite a few people below agree). I've gone there maybe a dozen times--the service is often quite spotty which is likely why it gets mediocre reviews (though, usually from mistakes, which the staff is always friednly about comping or otherwise fixing)
