Dear Charley and Antone's staff, I want to sincerely thank you all for providing your restaurant for us to have my Mom's Celebration of Life. She loved Antone's! We had the best party in her honor, and it was largely thanks to you all! Delicious food. Excellent service. Caring staff. It was the best ever. Seriously put FUN back into FUNeral. It was a happy and enjoyable experience and took all the stress away from the family. Bless you all! I highly recommend your restaurant for private functions or just a delicious meal anytime. Thank you! R.I.P. Mom!

Don't bother. The pizza was awful: the sauce tasted like it came out of a can of Hunt's tomato sauce.

OMG I ordered the avocado toast via Door Dash this morning. I got the pastrami add on, my taste buds and belly loves me right now! It is soooooooo delicious, fresh and the pastrami has pretty much no fat which is hard to find, BEST AVACADO TOAST AND BEST PASTRAMI EVER!!!

Excellent food and service…….. highly recommend!!

Food was good, but 2 sandwiches took 30 minutes to get out and the worker at the front was engaged in inappropriate conversation with customers.

Love the Mafia as always. But now they don’t have fountain drinks. Drinking out of a can is not cool.

What an amazing place to eat me and my husband came for the first time and we got the mafia and a half plate of spaghetti and garlic bread it was a hit. We will definitely be back and the staff members were awesome thank you

The bread for their sandwiches is amazing. Soft and wonderful. I definitely recommend Antone's!!

They changed the Meatball grinder, meat seems different and they added way to much garlic butter flavor it seems like. Unfortunate

What happened to the soda machine?

The food and service is always above and beyond amazing.

First time having Antone’s and I had no idea this place is the new Italian staple in riverside. Being from New York I am happy to have found a place that embodies the east coast vibes. The sauce is al dente’, their meatballs are amazing, and did I mention they serve peroni’s! Loved everything about this place - we hosted a rehearsal dinner for a dear friend and had the pleasure to meet the owner and his team. What a stand up guy who has created a beautiful restaurant! Great staff, great food, great laughs and an overall great experience. We will definitely be back!

The service is excellent here. The only thing that I did not like was that there was no shrimp fettuccine Alfredo which is my favorite Italian dish. Except for that, everything else was delicious, and I really loved the service I got. The food was absolutely delicious,creamy and very tasty. I would highly recommend this restaurant. You must come to Sunnyside in riverside to partake in this delicious food.
