First time to Antonello's, but will not be the last. Waiter Fernando was excellent. Service, food, environment very enjoyable. Went before the theater and they were diligent in getting us in and out in a timely manner.
We celebrated our 10yr anniversary and everything was perfect! We were greeted by the hostess with a big smile and our waitress was very attentive. The food was excellent! We had the beef carpaccio, seared tuna, prosciutto pizza, seafood pasta, chicken parmigiana, and the kids had their butter pasta. The Chef brought out a dessert platter for us and we had an awesome time! 10 stars!
Wonderful food and service! They don't rush you to order all at once. We shared the pacchetti pasta as an appetizer and cleaned the plate! Everyone was happy with their dishes. The service is 5 star! We celebrated my husband's birthday and they made it very special. We always enjoy dining here. Can't wait to come back.
I use here for my company, my friend get-together and every time, I come back with 200% satisfaction! Highly recommended!
The food was yummy. The service was great. We were celebrating an anniversary and received a beautiful and delicious and anniversary dessert. We will dine there again.
My wife and I had an amazing “date night” that started here and then went to show at Segerstrom. Had not been here in awhile and forgot how special it was. Amazing food, staff , and ambience. Thanks for a great night !
We had such a lovely time dining here as a family. It's rare to find truly authentic Northern Italian cuisine in Southern California, so this was a real gem. So many Italian places in Southern California feel pretty Americanized, so this was a refreshing change. The lobster ravioli with black truffle was unforgettable—rich, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. For dessert, the cheesecake was the best I've ever had, and the tiramisu was perfectly balanced. The cozy, quiet atmosphere made the whole experience even more special. We're already looking forward to our next visit!
Food was incredible. Will be visiting again.
Very nice restaurant. Good food, romantic atmosphere. I'll be back.
This place is a definite hidden gem! We've been waiting to try this place for a few years and we finally did. The food was spectacular. Very elite service great table side service. Pricey, but definitely worth it for that special occasion.

Just superb! From the hostess Sonia, service and food was the best! We will be returning for sure!
Exceptional cuisine, exquisite wine, and impeccable service. The ambience was delightful, quite possibly the finest Italian dining experience I've ever had.
I had an appointment Sat at that evening. We were there to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary.
We get there and they could not find my appointment. I had been receiving text messages for the update.
Total disappointment, not organized.
Would rather go to Olive Garden.
There's a compelling reason Antonello has served fine Italian food for decades and has so many regulars. Tops marks for cuisine, service and hospitality. Everything is made from scratch---starting with the complimentary breads and delicious dip. We began with stuffed squash blossoms, lightly crispy in a delicate tomato sauce--perfection. Excellent spinach salad and porcini risotto. The homemade pappardelle pasta with braised Wagyu short ribs is a signature dish and was a favorite of the late Kobe Bryant and is exceptional. Desserts were as tasty as beautiful. We saw chef Sal and owner Antonio greeting guests at the tables. If you're looking for an impressive, memorable experience, Antonello checks all the boxes.
I brought my Mami here for Mexican Mother’s Day and they treated her like a Queen! When we got to our table, the hostess pulled out the chair for my mom and wished her happy Mother’s Day in Spanish. The server was great at making recommendations for drinks and making sure we were well taken care of throughout our dinner. The pear martini and sangria were refreshing and the pasta plates (pappardelle al sugo di manzo and the Spaghetti a la pescatora) were a great portion size and delicious. All the staff we interacted with made us feel welcomed, thank you!!
