Wonderful restaurant that was host to our company Christmas Party. The best Veal Marsala that I have ever tasted. Super service and atmosphere was so comfortable and friendly.

We are sp grateful to still have one restaurant in Orange County, CA that still retains a true fine dining atmosphere without going too California Casual. I love this restaurant and on my birthday, the wait staff definitely made all three of us feel special. (My 20 year old daughter, my husband and myself) We ordered the Veal Chop Marsala,... More

This used to be one of the best restaurants to take guests to impress. I'm not sure what's going on but it didn't feel the same. We used to get such a warm greeting and everyone who walked through the doors was treated so graciously. Such a shame that the manager is gone after all these years!

Met with business colleagues here after a long day, and had a fantastic meal! Great service, great food. Would definitely visit here again if I was back in the area.

I recently flew into OC and was recommended this restaurant by a very savvy administrative assistant for a business lunch I was hosting. I was very pleased with the service, the food and the atmosphere. All were superb. The bar is a wonderful place to hang out while you're waiting for the rest of your party to arrive. If you... More

Are you looking for a restaurant where you can actually have a conversation? This is it. Beautiful and quiet ambiance. Hugh menu but try the 3 course lunch for $20.00.

Comimg from a family of great italian cooks, i find it difficult to go out for Italian food. However, when my wife gets a little tired of the kitchen and it's a special occasion, we go to Antonello's. The service is great, it has the ambiance of a small Italian villa, and the veal chop is unbelivably tasty. I actually... More

Easily the best Italian restaurant in Santa Ana, Antonio, the owner, makes old friend and new guests feel at home. If its not on the menu, just as. The chef will make your favorites.

My wife and I do so enjoy Antonello which features exquisitely-prepared, authentic Italian dishes. I have two favorites: the veal Saltimbocca a la Romana and the Rotelle di Pasta, a rolled pasta stuffed with prosciutto. The Saltimbocca is an unparalled blend of veal, a delicous brown sauce, enhanced by prosciutto and sage. Their Insalata Caprese is composed of the classic... More
