This pizzeria was the best restaurant we found in LA! As tourists, me and a friend wanted to experience italian cuisine made in america. Suffice to say this was a gem we found! We ordered a pasta putanesca and a medium sized DIY pizza. All the ingredients were super fresh and the food was filling. The medium pizza is more than enought for the average person. We paid a little under 40$ for the meal, without drinks or dessert. It was refreshing to eat at a place in america were you feel you are eating real food and not something thats processed out of recognition. The staff was super cordial and welcoming and it was refreshing to see a place were they dont slam a 20% tip in your face and stare at you so you feel remorse if you dont tip!

Antonio’s Pizzeria has been an outstanding and reliable partner for all of our corporate catering needs. Their food is always fresh, delicious, and consistently delivered right on time, which makes a huge difference during our busy workdays. We especially want to recognize Alex, who goes above and beyond to ensure every order is seamless and stress-free. Her attention to detail and friendly service make working with Antonio’s an absolute pleasure.

The service was top tier, multiple people working as a team to ensure the customers were taken care of. A person in my party has gluten allergies and not only do they have a separate gluten free menu, the server pointed out that the meatballs contain gluten. The food tasted amazing. Well definitely be going on.

Delicious, freshly prepared, and enormous servings. I had the eggplant parmesean with spaghetti. There were at least 5 slices of eggplant and enough spaghetti for two servings. My family (three people) split two pizzas, a large and a medium. The large would have been enough, but it was nice to have different options for toppings. The dining area is dark (as an Italian restaurant should be), so be prepared to use your flashlight to look at the menu. I just wish I had the foresight to keep some room available for dessert, but the dishes are just too good.

Food was good. My son was being picky but the server was so nice and recognized him not eating his food. She offered him a kids pizza. We were very grateful. I came here for the gf pasta but the rest of my family loved their meals as well.

Truly, one of the best Italian restaurants I’ve ever been to in my life, and I am not exaggerating… Great calamari! Great garlic bread! The linguine and white clams was probably the best I’ve ever had in my life… My wife had the scallopini. She said it was just terrific.. my mother said the eggplant Parmesan was fantastic! If you are in the San Fernando Valley, this place is a must!!!

The Veal Français (one of the most expensive items on the menu) was absolutely disgusting— allegedly breaded veal that was flavorless, soggy, and soaking in mystery juice—resembling leftovers of something prepared three days ago. It looked like something straight out of Kitchen Nightmares. And it was supposed to come with spaghetti, but it didn’t. Now I feel digitally violated by Antonio’s management—how dare you people!

Have been here twice, once my wife and I and the second time we took friends there before going to the theater. The pizza very good on the first visit and we had spaghetti and sauces the second time, which were also very good. Seth a very good and helpful server, Alexandra (goes by Alex) is the owner and very friendly with a great sense of humor. The restaurant is on Ventura Blvd and generally one can find parking on the street in front of or a block or two away. Enjoy the restaurant, we will be back and we ordered food to be delivered for an upcoming party.

This place had potential to be a nice family restaurant, but if you want to have ok food, bad service and a total jerk of a host . Come here you will have great time. This place deserves no stars. Being rude to kids is a new low.

Awesome location on Ventura with awesome service. One of the last true old-school sit down pizza / Italian spots. Wouldn't be out of place in NYC suburbs. Prices are decent and menu is varied. Dessert menu is comically large and items we got were good. The odd part was they make bar style pizza. Not bad but not what most would expect. Would order pasta or veal next time.

This is a place my parents came to a lot. Then brought me too as I grew up. So I've been dining at Antonios on and off for 45 years. Things have changed. Some good some not so much. They sell their home made Italian dressing to take home. I have always loved their salad dressing, and I do buy it. They still give you rolls, but you get them cut in half instead of an entire roll per person. I know times are hard but giving the customer half a roll, come on now. The salad is still made the same but they hardly put any dressing on it. You used to be able to take a whole roll and dip it into the dressing that sat at the bottom of your salad plate. The service has not been up to par but the Pizza is still amazing. The Risotto not so good. There was not an ounce of creaminess to the dish, just sticky rice. Their Chicken Cacciatore is wonderful but the Fettuccine Alfredo while had a good flavor, there was hardly any sauce on it. The restaurant itself still looks like it used to for the most part. They did update here and there. This is definitely a mixed review, but if you asked me if I like this place, I do. Partly due to it being a family favorite and they do have good food, overall. I would recommend this place, and I will continue to patronize this restaurant but I just can't get over the cut in half dinner rolls.

It's Italian day ! A quick stop @ Antonio's on ventura ! We ordered an Antonio's special pizza and meat ravioli , food came out piping hot , the pizza was delicious and loaded to the max with sausage , ham, olives and more .... And the raviolis were very meaty, the house merlot paired perfectly with our dishes . Very fast and friendly service, plenty of parking outside and at the back , it took me back to my last visit to Italy ... perfect to bring the family and romantic enough for a date ...mangia!

Amazing old school Italian in the valley! Great low-key, but classy ambiance, great service. We split the garlic knots appetizer, eggplant parm, and an individual pizza with side salad (anchovies on the side for me!), and it absolutely did us right. This is gonna be a repeat for sure. At 5 on a Sunday, not too crowded or noisy either.

Although I am straight from the capital of Hungary (Budapest) in Eastern Europe; I spent much of my formative years in Youngstown, Ohio - the mafia capital of America. The city was and still is the home to some of the highest concentration of Italian immigrants, which means that even though I am Hungarian; I know REAL Italian cooking from the nonnas. This has resulted in favoring the old-country style Italian dishes versus the Americanized, Hollywood-jazzercised Italian (although, I admittedly like the glam version, as well). If you too seek a hearty, home-cooked Italian meal, then look no further than the Valley staple, Antonio's. Antonio's has firmly held root in Sherman Oaks for 60 years (!!) near the Ventura/Woodman intersection under the recognizable Italy-boot sign. Family owned and operated, Antonio's has passed down generations and survived everything from the Northridge earthquake to the Covid-19 pandemic. Quite the feat as the turnover rate of restaurants on Ventura Blvd is faster than the blink of an eye. Staying true to the home-style theme; Antonio's is a comfortable 'old school' restaurant with fake grape vines and oil bottles hanging around the perimeter, red (checked) plastic tablecloths and framed photos of the family and celebrity run-ins. You can picture a mob family smoking cigars and discussing business here. And I mean that in the best way possible: you don't always need a fancy LA dining experience. My dining partner and I arrived shortly after 6pm on a Tuesday (note: Antonio's is only open until 9pm) and were greeted by a male I assume is the part-owner (he had that aire) and were seated in a corner booth ready to fill our bellies with Italian food. Now, we HAVE to talk about this menu because it is extensive! Yes, it has the usual: appetizers, salads, pizzas, pastas, entrees (chicken, veal), sandwiches and seafood; but, the amount of dishes available under these categories go on and on!  There is so much to choose from! Even more glorious is that Antonio's hooks up the gluten-free crowd (I am Celiac)! All of the pastas can be substituted for rice pasta, the dishes use garbanzo flour, etc. This is probably the MOST gf options I've seen at ANY restaurant, let alone Italian, where it is usually limited to either pasta or gluten-free pizza crust. Antonio's does charge extra for gluten free substitutions like all restaurants (which I think is insane that those of us who are sick are punished but that is another story) but the extra cost is worth it in comparison to the wide selection. For our dinner, we splurged and purchased a bottle of Kungfu Girl Riesling Wine ($32) and ordered the free Yelp Check In offer of Risotto Balls for my friend because I can't have the gluten (spinach, risotto, peas, onions and mozzarella breaded and fried served with marinara - $14 if not with check in). My friend chose the Beef Lasagna ($17) while I went with the Gluten Free Chicken a la Marsala (chicken breast dipped in garbanzo flour, cooked in butter and marsala wine with mushrooms and lemons served with salad - $24 for regular, I can't find the GF price online). I don't even know where to begin discussing the food because I want to excitedly shout about it from the rooftops! First of all, the wine was the best Riesling we've ever had! Even if you aren't a fan of white wine, this will blow your mind. The Risotto Balls were GORGEOUS in their plating and equally fantastic in taste, according to my friend. His lasagna portion was HUGE and under what seemed like a gallon of sauce, which means it was definitely a bang for his buck. He loved it so much that he cleaned his plate just short of licking it. As for my Chicken a la Marsala... It was the BEST DAMN CHICKEN MARSALA I HAVE EVER HAD! The chicken was tender, light and airy but flavorful without being overpowering, and the garbanzo flour was light as a cloud. The sauce was the perfect texture and ratio of marsala to butter to lemon. The rice noodles stuck together slightly, but I did not mind. My friend, who is not even remotely gf, agreed that it was sinfully delicious! Holy hell! I could eat this every day! I planned to save some to take home, but I ate it all. If you have any room for dessert, Antonio's propensity for a wide selection is extended to their sweets with SIX pages of desserts and THREE pages of gluten-free, vegan and 'no sugar added' desserts! Are you kidding me?! Antonio's is heaven sent! Service was average: not bad but nothing to comment regarding. Antonio's is absolutely fantastic with its authentic Italian dishes, comfortable old-school esthetic, extensive menu selections and the most gluten-free accommodation I've experienced to date. We absolutely plan on returning to try other dishes and desserts (if we can save room in our stomachs!).  If you crave Italian in the Valley without those Hollywood bells and whistles, Antonio's is IT! I expect them to be around another 60 years.

One of the better NY style pizza's I've had in LA. Will need to go back to make sure it wasn't a one off.

This place is bomb! I have Celiac and I found this place on "Find me Gluten Free" app and it's been a perfect match since then! We do order delivery a lot but the few times we've been in and dined, the service was awesome! Inside is awesome! I forget to take pictures but I will tonight. I just ordered food for delivery!! I appreciate the owners taking the time to allow people like me, who don't have a choice about gluten, to feel included. I've developed anxiety, since my diagnoses of Celiac, about going out to eat with friends. I feel like I hold people back because of all of my allergies and this restaurant helps me be "kinda normal" and feel like the rest of the group about ordering. Usually it's salads and vegan options at restaurants. Last time I checked, I'm not a rabbit and I am not a vegan. I have enough allergies, I want to eat all the protein I can, and all the bad food I can!

Wow! This place is exceptional! We had family visiting from out of town and my cousin & niece both have Celiac disease. We needed to find a restaurant with 100% gluten free food and this place has its own gluten free menu. The server (who I assume is the owner) was outstanding. Right off the bat, my young niece started asking questions and ordering food/drinks, and the server kept her engaged while answering all of her questions. My other niece also had questions. I was amazed by how she was able to multitask with everyone's requests, questions, and so much going on with a party of 7 including 2 curious kids. Most of us were ordering off the regular menu, but she made sure to note which people ordered gluten free and which ones didn't. Every single request we had -- even if it was as she passed by our table while tending to other customers -- was met super quickly and with an amazing attitude. The food itself was great! From the appetizers, to the pizzas, to the dessert. Everyone loved the food and stuffed their faces. The place itself has a vintage LA feel to it, which I think added to our visiting family's experience. We will definitely be back next time we're in the area!

First time ordering in, and the food is good! However, I'm a little confused as to why my antipasto salad came with whole pieces of salami, whole pieces of mozzarella cheese, whole pieces of beets, and a green onion stalk. I've never had an antipasto salad come put where I'd have to chop it myself... that was interesting, to say the least.

I give this restaurant four stars based of their pizza which I take out. I have never eaten at this restaurant but bet all their food is great. If you are looking for delicious pizza, look no more and get it here. Price wise is comparable to other places.

Parking is a challenge. Meter parking on a busy street (Ventura Blvd) with some side street parking allowed. Read the meters and signs. Arrived at 6 pm on a Thursday, and it was empty, so perfect for our party of 6. Very traditional Italian look inside with soft music. Very warm and welcoming. The waiter was terrific. Food came out quickly and was really tasty. We shared the Garlic Cheese Bread (which was not too garlicky), and I had the Pasta Monica. Everyone liked their dishes, too. If you want good food and a quiet place to have a conversation, try this place!

Great Italian Restaurant! The food was beyond tasty, the service was wonderful and so nice, and the ambiance as a whole was great! We tried the garlic knots (stuffed with mozzarella) and omg they were delicious. Then we got the pepperoni pizza and the seasoning on the pizza was amazing. I got the linguini pasta and my bf got the fettuccini Alfredo and we both loved it. They have a whole menu for deserts and they are all amazing. The Boston cream was amazing! Definitely worth it. Go check it out for some great great food. Ohhh and the prices are great!

We had a party of 8 at Antonio's tonight and everything was perfect. Food was flavorful, served hot and timely. All of us loved the pizza, eggplant parmigiana and chicken dishes. Alex, the manager made sure all was right and the waitstaff was great. Will all be back soon. Thank you for keeping this 50 plus years institution in great shape. We are lucky to have you in the neighborhood.

The food here is amazing and full of flavor it took me back to Italy. The service was delightful and fast. The ambiance is a bit tired and needs some lighting but it is what brings this restaurant together. The soap in the bathroom smelled great. Highly recommend their pizzas.

Wonderful service and the pizza is outstanding. It was a pepperoni mushroom pizza and we ordered a large because there's only a two dollar difference. The booths are super comfortable and it was great to go to an iconic restaurant. I definitely want to go back. I love the risotto balls and the special salad. I think it was their own chopped salad. I had it tossed with blue cheese on the side. This particular salad has a little bit a bit in it with garbanzo beans and a whole bunch of other stuff. The mix of their dressing with the blue cheese is nice. The blue cheese has chunks of blue cheese in it. Plus, the Boston cream pie was to die for !

A fun place to have an adult Pizza Birthday Party! Gluten free options tasted like authentic Italian comfort food. Main comments of the evening from 1. Chef from Italy & 2. friend whose family owns multiple pizza parlors...Same party night, both said "This is the best Pizza I've tasted". Rest of the group absolutely fell in love with the restaurant. Personally I've been coming here for almost 6 years, am gluten free & the flavors of all the options people with such intolerance can order brings you to tears of joy!! Absolutely loooooove them here:)

Antonio's is always delicious and fun! I've been coming here for over thirty years. Everybody seems to know it and love it!

The Pasta Rosa is amazing but you have to start your meal with the risotto balls!!! Antonio's is the best Italian restaurant I've never the San Fernando Valley and it's not even close! I'll still drive there from Santa Clarita when I want a good Italian meal! Great family friendly restaurant awesome service! Great desert. Good house win. Every thing is good!

Antonio's is hands down the BEST Italian food in the LA area! I have ordered multiple dishes from here and have never been disappointed! However here are some recommendations for first timers! As for pasta, I highly recommend trying the tortellini a la bandiera! It's my fave! For pizza, you can't go wrong with the Antonio's special! (They add real veggies not small chopped ones that you normally get at other places.) For Dessert, the blueberry cheesecake or lemon bar are amazing!! but honestly you can't go wrong here! The service is amazing! Everyone is soo welcoming and friendly always! The vibes are everything! the twinkle lights, ambient lighting and Italian decor transports you to really making dining here an experience. If you're not sure if you want to give it a try... DO! ps. Make sure to try the meatballs too!

I've been to this location and I adore it. I'm extremely picky but this place is just right. The food is absolutely delicious and freshly made. The service is Pristine and the family who owns it are very nice and helpful. And just the setting itself is great, it's never overly packed every time I've gone I immediately get sat down. And the food is served quickly to me. The gnocchi risotto is just WOW. The deserts delicious and the strawberry lemonade is so damn good. I will be coming back here with my family very often.

I always love coming here solo to enjoy some quick and delicious Italian. The pasta is yummy but I don't recommend the pizzas. Just remember this place is quick and easy -- if you're expecting anything special this is not the place for you. This is classic, old school, hole in the wall deliciousness.

I gotta tell you, this place totally blows! The service is horrible. The food is crap. Totally awful. The pizza is hard. The dough isn't even fresh and the cheese taste like hard, imitation cheese not even real mozzarella. The sauce was way too salty. I ordered a Caesar salad and they brought me lettuce that was brown completely old. I asked him to take it back and make me a new one and it came back looking the same. I was like what in the world. Completely horrible I went to the bathroom and they were like pigsties. One toilet was overflowing and there was poop all over the floor, not even clean at all. I definitely recommend to go down the street to either Mulberry Pizza, Bacari's just a block away, Pagliacci is a few blocks away and Coldwater Canyon anything other than this place! Totally terrible don't go to this place and get sick or waste your time.

Ordered the gluten free pomodoro thinking it would noodles similar to spaghetti, but it was mushy penne and very bland. My fiancé ordered the Hawaiian pizza and said it was just ok. Pretty expensive for the quality...

Had the great opportunity to dine at this establishment! The atmosphere was very relaxing and was greeted with friendly and great service! We were a large group and they did a wonderful job facilitating us during a weekday. It is worth noting that their popular dish: Pasta Rosa was absolutely delicious! Consider getting a few items for sharing as they have other great dishes to try out!

It's been a while sinceI I ordered pizza from here. I had no problem with them in the past but this time it wasn't the same at all. I expected the old school tasty version but instead got a bland imitation of its former self. The crust was strange. Denser and no crunch. Like a cheap frozen dough or the gluten free version. It's fine to accommodate the celiac crowd but the majority fortunately do not have this problem. I did not order that version. If this is their standard pizza then I'm going to have to pass. It's a shame as it's hard to find a truly awesome pizza.

This is where people should go if they want a typical New York old school Italian restaurant experience. Food is fantastic. Love their pizza. The ambience is perfect. The service was respectful and attentive. It's a family owned business. The pride is evident.

You know it's very funny but coincidentally the last reviewer who unfortunately left a bad review is a friend of mine from the Magic Castle, Bonnie Gordon. Unfortunately for this restaurant, she hit the nail right on the head. She nailed it big time. Unfortunately for this restaurant, it was my first time there, I walked in the door 30 minutes prior to closing. I was awkwardly greeted by this man who was slumped over not even paying complete attention to me, and he rattled off. We are closed. Kitchen closes in 10 minutes. I asked the guy aren't you closing at nine? That's what the sign said, that's what your yelp page says and your Google listing. He says to me , "Nope kitchen closes in 10 minutes." I said to him, "Well, this is my first time here and it will be my last time here. I will never be back. Have a good night, sir." I drove over to Pagliacci's not too far away, and they greeted me with kindness generosity, and the food was absolutely amazing! I'm a business owner, and I completely understand. But I would think that, considering the crisis of the nightmare of Covid, and all the businesses being shut down, massive loss of income, the business would wanna treat their customers a little bit better. Do a little bit of math if you treat one person like this a day and you do this all year long that seven customers a week, 30 to 31 customers a month 365 customers a year that you potentially lose out on, that's a whole boatload of money that you take a loss on.If the owner or the manager has any questions, give me a call at 818-659-8600. I'll be glad to speak with you personally. But at this point of time, I cannot recommend this restaurant, the service is lacking there. I have to recommend people go elsewhere and there's many places Such as Pagliacci not too far away or even Little Tony's, I mean heck just down the street you got Mulberry Pizza! Or the king of the Italian restaurants and you can have a waitress sing to you Miceli's on Cahuenga! But definitely not this place! I read the response from the owner or manager that was a cute comeback however, it was carefully narrated, and that is not what was said. First off, the manager was slumped over doing something kind of odd on a cabinet and not even fully paying attention to me second of all , as I stated above, that was not what was said I was told the restaurant was closed and if I'd like to do takeout, that would be fine but I was not given the option to sit down and eat and considering the restaurant was open for 30 more minutes. I don't think that would've been a problem. Additionally, considering this is an Italian restaurant, most Italian restaurant owners try to make the restaurant like home to their customers. Most restaurants I know if you walk in 30 minutes to closing they would never ever even remotely even consider turning you away and dumping you on takeout only. Unfortunately you did not choose to do that. Instead you rather would run me off, rather than make sure I was fully taken care of. I don't like leaving bad reviews and unfortunately I painfully have to respond back to clarify that this was not what was said don't think you're gonna get out of this one buddy. Unfortunately , you gave bad service and treated me pretty shabbily, and by the way, I ride a motorcycle I don't do takeout that often considering I have transport the food on my motorcycle. And food isn't that great at home when you have to reheat it and you just bought it fresh at a restaurant. Probably not the most ideal and pleasant situation for your customer, considering you claim that you want to make sure that your customer has the most pleasant meal possible so again, I debunk your comments you had no intentions of making my meal pleasant as a matter fact, you had absolutely no intention whatsoever to serve me nor make my night pleasurable whatsoever, so again, I reiterate, I cannot give you a good reference. I cannot recommend this restaurant to anybody whatsoever. Considering the fact that you take no accountability whatsoever for your actions tells me I want nothing to do with your business and I have to recommend to others to steer clear of this place. If you can't even be accountable for your actions, you can't be accountable to make sure that your restaurant is in a clean manner and that you run the operation properly. Completely untrustworthy I highly recommend Bacari's just down the street, little Tony's, which is too far away, Pagliacci's, Italian tavern, or even Mulberry Street pizza, which are all completely awesome places and are definitely on the up and up and I have personally eaten at and have been treated very very well by all these establishments. so Alex, the manager, so sorry no dice. Your story doesn't add up. Good luck in the future please treat your customers better and maybe they will stick around! That's why I left a review I would like people to know the truth, the hard unvarnished truth.

Small portions for the price. Quite underwhelming. Minestrone soup tastes identical to Campbell's canned soup, too salty. Tiny pizzas, individual size, waaayyy overpriced! Wanted to like this place but will never ever be back.

Dang that pizza was amaze balls. The anchovies were perfectly salty. The spice in the clam and shrimp pasta has just the right amount of kick to complement the perfect seafood flavors. And that's gluten free pasta and garlic bread. Super friendly and attentive staff Looks like an authentic Italian ristorante inside.

I've been going to Antonio's since the mid-1970s. It was amazing back then - the spaghetti Siciliano was tops and their rolls were the best anywhere. It's not quite that anymore - I recently had the Siciliano and it's just not quite the same, I'm afraid. I did try the pasta rosa with chicken and that was very good. Their salad dressing is good and I do enjoy it and better yet, their prices are less than other places that serve Italian food or pasta dishes. Good portions.

Alex, I did mention to the waiter, but because it was late and we were hungry so we settled with what we got. I do think its wrong to charge extra $2 on a $25 dish to change pasta from spaghetti to penne, it was a switch, not an add on.

Antonio's is a hidden gem on Ventura Blvd. We stopped in for a midweek lunch to celebrate the end of the school year and were not disappointed. Dark, old school Italian restaurant vibes inside. The brother and sister owners were gracious and welcoming and the pizza was very good. Next time I'll have to try a pasta. Overall good vibe and good food.

We enjoyed our dinner at Antonio's. I went because I love Spaghetti Caruso and it's on their menu, I wasn't disappointed it was delicious. My lady ordered the Pasta Rosa Dinner which was also delicious. We both had dinner salads with the house dressing which excellent. The garlic cheese bread we ordered wasn't great but, taste, a good accompaniment to our salads. Everything look very tempting on the desert menu. We shared a peanut butter and chocolate desert which was great. Portions are large and the service is as expected in a family run restaurant, personal attention and ready, willing and able to discuss the menu items. It was much more than I expected of an old fashion spaghetti and pizza place....We'll be back and recommend to friends.
