Best Italian Restaurants in Antioch

Our dinner experience was superb. Our only complaint was the noise level which was a problem considering we were 6 people with three having hearing issues. Once I raised the question of noise the maître d tried to help us, but there were no tables available. My next visit with a group will be asking for a quieter place to sit. Our friends all loved their dinners. Two of us had an exceptional linguine with sea food. Our dish had plenty of shrimp, scallops, clams and muscles (all sweet and fresh) with baked cloves of garlic and cherry tomatoes making up the sauce. My husband had the bolognese in egg noodles. Delicious. The linguine, like all of their pastas are made in house, making all of the pastas noteworthy. My dish was so delectable that I had to push the dish away before I devoured it all. It was enough for two people to share especially with a salad which were quite large. Two friends had the barramundi fish dinner on Il Fornaio specials menu. They raved about it. My other friend had a large salad with broiled large shrimp and a vegetable soup. Last, but not least, the attention of our wait staff was excellent. Our server was knowledgeable, friendly and unobtrusive. The atmosphere is beautiful and elegant and we intend to go back next week to celebrate our 44th anniversary. Thank you for a truly wonderful meal.

This was the first visit since the remodel and they did a lovely job of keeping the familiar along with updating some areas. The food and service was excellent as always. And always difficult to make a choice on what to eat due to variety of choices, all good. And the white chocolate bread pudding is just the best...

The service was very good. We had four different dishes, the tasty meatball appetizer with flavorful sauce. The Lasagna was excellent, the eggplant parmigiana was a winner and the caprese salad was wonderful. As usual Sebastian was great. Looking forward to our next visit. Jo Ann

Always good food and service, it gets busy between 5-6 on weekends, make a reservation.

We love this gem. Had friends from out of town and couldn’t think of better place to share with them. Always always awesome
