My kids grew up at Antonucci's
Our family has been going to Antonucci's for years and years. My wife is an East Coast Italian who cooks all her own -- and if she'd going out to an Italian restaurant, the ONLY one she'll go to is Antonucci's. It's THAT good! Over the years we've taken various friends and business associates to Antonucci's. Every single one has been blown away, and every single one who lives locally has become an Antonucci regular. You walk in to a huge smile greeting you, you get a great family-style hug (telling you that you're home), and a great meal.
Recommended: Every single one!

Best Casual Italian in OC
Have eaten a large number of different items from the menu. All have been wonderful. Their house salad is great. The meatballs are so good I order more as "takeout" after I finish my meal. Large portions served quickly and always hot. Have been a customer for as many years as they have been there. Have only once had to return anything to the kitchen and it was replaced with something that was perfect without any hassle. Bob Canori is the perfect host and does a wonderful job maintaining quality and consistensy.

A Pleasant Surprise!
Antonucci's was a great find, the ambiance is great as well as the food. We enjoyed their lasagna and the fettuccini alfredo, out of this world. Highly recommended!

Burnt Garlic Smell
Antonucci's looks wonderful. It is very light and bright and everyone seems so friendly. But are they really friendly. I have been going there for years and the last 2 times my food smelled and tasted like burnt garlic. I conversed with Mr. Canori and he immediately replaced my food. But now everytime I go in the food tastes different.
Recommended: I used only Penne Alla Betol
