Home From Home

Antico Lounge is located in the heart of Alton and is your neighbourhood cafe bar dedicated to serving great food and drink in a relaxed, eclectic setting.

Antico means old in Italian, and the name Alton comes from the Old English words “al” and “ton”, which mean old and town, respectively. And seeing as we can trace its origins to at least 1086, when it was recorded in the Domesday Survey as Aoltone, it certainly is an old town!

Opening Times

Sunday - Thursday 9am-11pm
Friday & Saturday 9am-12am
