Lovely ambiance and delicious food! The calamari was fresh, brussel sprouts were made well, and Chilean seabass was flavorful. We tried 3 different desserts and they were all unique and yummy.

Can’t say enough. They were so helpful with my food allergies. The dinner, every course was amazing. I had the leftovers for lunch the next day, and it was still great. Will return.

The food here is phenomenal. There is plenty of room with an upstairs and downstairs seating area. There is also plenty of parking. I would advise making reservations as it is quite busy.

The wait was typical for a restaurant that makes their dishes from scratch:). Superb food. I really liked their Chilean Sea Bass with two large shrimp (they really looked like prawns to me!). It was over a scrumptious risotto. My husband had the Short Rib Pasta (there was a longer name but it reminded me of a ragu). Anyhow our party of 7 had wonderful foods prior to the main meal too. There was a prosciutto burrata appetizer that w as nice and also the calamari fritti was fried lightly and tasty by husband said. I think that overall we all had a grand New Year’s Eve at Antonello’s. It was decorated really nice for the holidays.

Took my husband here for his birthday. Everyone greeted us by name and told him happy birthday multiple times. The atmosphere itself was elegant and romantic. The service was top notch. They treat you like family. They do table service with a giant cheese wheel which was not only really neat but super tasty. The food tasted high quality and authentic. This place was a hidden gem. Will be definitely coming back to try more of the menu.

Food was great! Ordered chicken soup – flavor was quite different. Mozeralla cheese appetizer is now my favorite. Ordered gnocchi ricotta- just yum yum yummy! Service was good as well. I guess since we had ordered one entree and split into two plates they just charge some extra free dollars like 5-6$ . Service is good. Wine was great in taster. Will definitely visit here again to try more. It’s good to reserve your table since they are open for limited time only. For reservations we have to do deposit of $100. Not sure if this is at all time or May be it was only for busy days like valentine they might have brought this rule.

This is a very traditional and authentic Italian restaurant. Their pasta is made fresh daily and have lots of other meal options like beef ribs with risotto, calamari, salads and serve a kids menu aswell. Only open in the later afternoon hours 5:00 to 9ish. I had the lentil and pasta fagioli and they were amazing (on two different occasions) We have become regulars since my last post and can say the atmosphere is welcoming, lots of delicious options even for a picky eater. They even have a few dishes they prepare tableside. It is pricey but so worth it Plenty of parking and the staff is really on their A game, Ol’ time kinda service checking on you and making sure your cup is always full. The place has lots of Italian charm. Had a really good experience here.

You know an Italian restaurant is good when other Italians eat there with their extended family FROM Italy.
Do not sleep on this place, for you will miss out on perhaps some of the best Italian food SoCal has to offer. Antonello’s has been here about as long as I have been alive, and I’m only now just figuring out how amazing it is.
The chef very much knows his craft, creating some true culinary masterpieces from scratch. The dishes here are truly spectacular.
The Gnocchi? Melts in your mouth alongside the cheese and the sauce is rich and delicious.
The Osso Bucco? Also rich, so tender and just absolute artistry for your taste buds.
Their Seabass (previously mentioned as dry) was actually very moist, flavorful and delicious.
And don’t even get me started on the Tiramisu and their chocolate cake (forgot the name of the dish ), both of which are perhaps the best you’ll ever have.
All in all, my fiance and I had a great experience. We shook hands with Sonya, the manager, she was so warm and so kind, checking in on out experience throughout the evening.
My only “gripe”, if I could call it that? A $35 corkage fee. A little higher than average, which is around $20 to $25, but it is so well worth it.
You MUST try Antonello’s.

First time here. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Arguably the best calamari that i can recall having in a long time. Authentic dishes with good service at a reasonable price for the value. I hope to be back.

There’s a reason why this place has stood the test of time (and plagues!) – turned 46 last month! My mom and I were treated like queens when I took her for her birthday dinner last night. This is one of those restaurants that reminds me of the times when being a host/server/busser/food runner was an actual career and people were loyal to their establishments and took their jobs very seriously and took pride in the high level of service and hospitality provided.
And the food was not bad, too . We shared 3 dishes: calamari, Antonello salad, and the seafood pasta: all perfect!
