I hate to hate on this place, but a few days ago I ordered spaghetti and meatballs, caprese salad and tiramisu. I swear the spaghetti was actually a soft pink, no flavor whatsoever, not even the meatballs. And while the tiramisu was pretty with berries added, it wasn’t good. The only good about the $50 I spent was the caprese salad, and I must note, caprese includes fresh basil, and this had a couple of shreds of basil only. For about $14. So sad, definitely not at all worth what I paid.I had intended to come back the next day, for lamb shank. But after screwing up spaghetti, I decided to spend my hard earned money elsewhere. I mean, how do you screw up spaghetti?! It was absolutely flavorless. And the manager assured me everything was fresh made, not frozen, and I swear it tasted and looked someone watered down any taste the spaghetti ever had. So disappointed ☹️

Such a warm and welcoming establishment. We were promptly seated and the service was professional, informative and frequent. Our food was fantastic. We enjoyed the garlic bread, minestrone soup, pork chop carbonara and the chicken parm. We will definitely be back!

Wow! Welcome to the neighborhood. You ever been some place and realize it's exactly what you didn't know you needed? Welp! I never thought I needed a Mexican & Italian fushion restaurant. It works!!!! I've had the lasagna a few times and 10/10Calamari 8/10 Bread pudding 100/100I'm so happy I stumbled on this spot. Instantly a new fav in the Antioch area

By far one of the best locations I've visited in the Bay Area. This is a true hidden treasure! The food was delicious and full of flavor, the amounts were ideal. The waitstaff was also very polite and attentive. After we complimented the cuisine, the chef came out and personally greeted us. Will definitely return here when I return to the Bay Area!!

I have nothing but good things to say about this establishment!!! From the moment we walked in we were treated so well. The service was exceptional. Drink orders taken right away, freshly baked bread w/ a delicious creamy marinara dipping sauce. The dining room is small but feels intimate & romantic. The neighborhood can seem a little sketchy if you're from out of town or if you aren't used to the area but the neighborhood where this restaurant is located isn't too bad. Everything we ordered was amazing. From the appetizer to our entrees. We decided on calamari to start, my husband got a cup of the clam chowder, but the portion size was more like a bowl. The clams were so tender! & the soup was so good. The calamari we ordered was was perfectly fried. I guess we were craving seafood that day because for our meals we decided on the Linguini Vongole & the fettuccine frutti di mare. I loved that the dishes weren't over complicated & all the flavors were perfectly balanced. Nothing was too overpowering & it truly allowed the seafood to shine. & as I mentioned before, it was all very fresh, which is huge when you're ordering pastas with shellfish. Thank you for a fantastic meal! We will definitely be returning customers! We've found our new favorite Italian spot!

My husband and I ordered dinner for our family from this place tonight, taking a chance on something new, and I'm so happy that we did. The website was impressive and easy to use and we were excited as everything looked delicious. When we arrived, you could smell the the delicious food from outside. We weren't sure what to expect, but as soon as we walked in, we were blown away. The dining room was beautiful and elegant, and I was so dissapointed we hadn't dressed up and come in for date night because this place had perfect ambiance. The food was hot and ready on time, and the staff were friendly and professional. The dinner was warm and fresh when we brought it home and absolutely amazing! The portions were good sized, everything was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. The rib eye was perfect, and now my husband's new favorite. Every dish had very fresh ingredients and the chef is clearly top notch. We had the salmon, rib eye, spaghetti, lasagna, and garlic bread and there wasn't a crumb left! This restaurant is truly a hidden gem and I am so excited to have found my new favorite restaurant so close to home! 5 stars! Highly recommended! Bravo!

I have heard a few different versions but there is something about the chef training under a Michelin Star Chef or at a Michelin Star Restaurant.Either way, it shows, the food is top notch.The staff is friendly. Their wine list could use a bit of a tune up, but we had a delicious Chianti!I thuroughly enjoyed my experience at El Camaron Italiano, I will be back!
