Anthony's Italian Cuisine

If you’re looking for homestyle Italian food that will make your taste buds explode, Anthony’s Italian is your place! It is a small, but cozy restaurant that will make you feel like you are in the comfort of your own home. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, but anything with their Alfredo sauce or clams is amazing!

We have an excellent dinner experience at Anthony’s Italian Cuisine. The restaurant is in an older shopping center. The front entrance is not very special. But once you open the door. The dining room makes me feel like I am in a small town in Italy. The food is delicious with an enthusiastic service. I feel like I'm eating at the home of an Italian family!

I have to suffer cross town TRAFFIC to get to Anthony's Italian, but for bright & tasty food it's worth it. Located in a nondescript Bel Air shopping ctr, you would never believe the food was this good. Even the fresh veggies side portion was cooked perfectly aldente to my liking. Well worth the trip. NOT open on Sundays....

Yes, it is located in a strip mall. Yes, the interior looks dated. Yes, it is not fancy at all. But if all you care about is getting the best flavor, you have come to the right place. P.S. There are not a lot of customers inside the restaurant, but there are a lot of takeout orders.

Photo was after I warmed it up to eat again but I got the Fettuccini tetrazzini, was incredible haven’t had good Italian food like ever so this was really good and I usually eat home cooked meals when received it was piping hot just how I like it, generous with the servings like the sauce and the amount of noodles 😩 10/10 will definitely go again I ordered a Cannoli as well but wasn’t quite feeling it but my sister liked it compliments to the restaurant and chef!

The food was amazing and cooked to perfection. Tried an Italian cream soda, absolutely breathtaking

I had the Spaghetti Carbonara. It was amazing. The service was great even though we took it to go. It was a 20 minute drive home, and the food was hot and fresh. 4 months later. Back for more carbonara, and an order of cannellini Rossini. Partner says it’s delicious, even better than lasagna.

Small casual dine-in / take-out that is well worth seeking out. We eat here every time chance we get. Their sauce is the best I've ever tasted! We had the lasagna and the chicken Parmigiano. Both were delicious. See the before and after photos as evidence.

This little small business absolutely delivers. The resturant is in a strip mall and is almost hidden away. The inside is clean and well kept. Everything we ate was delicious. The garlic bread was warm. The strawberry Italian cream soda was just sweet enough. My partner had the tortellini with cream sauce, ham, and mushrooms. The mushrooms were the surprising stars. The smokiness of the ham and the rich earthy mushrooms were delicious. The cioppino was well seasoned, hot, and each seafood element was well cooked. The prices are very reasonable and the service is excellent. We will definently be returning and bringing friends and family.

Carbonara, spaghetti and meatballs, egg plant parmesan - not too shabby.... -cool little neighborhood joint location in a very "QUESTIONABLE " shopping complex (especially at night)...but we survived and enjoyed some good food. -Carbonara: very liquify, was heavy on the cream. The pancheto or whatever bacon and ham was good. Noods was done right. Not bad overall. -Spaghetti and meatballs: sauce and spaghetti noodles was cool. Meatball could be better. Kid said it had to much breading. -Eggplant Parmesan: wifey likes it. Happy wife, happy meal... -Price for dinner for 3 was very reasonable. Definitely worth checking out and supporting local businesses. -Service was cool. Both waitresses were nice and the dude gave us extra garlic bread.. thanks bro.... -meal includes soup or salad. Super cool they aren't trying to nickel and dime you for everything. -The family and i will definitely be back.....

They catered for my baby shower- affordable and delicious. A family favorite. Will continue to come here as long as they are open for business.

Love this place! Very very good. Authentic Italian. Tuck in the shopping center by Bel Air Service was very attentive too. Friendly staff. Our new favorite go to.

This place is the real deal. Like everything cooked with love and home made. Had Chicken Florentine, tortellini Alfredo, minestrone, tira misu, tried my friend's lasagna. All so delicious!

My wife and I came here starving after a long, busy work day and were able to get a table in their full dining room. The place feels very intimate and family oriented. The staff were super nice, the menu had a lot of nice options (for vegetarians as well) at really good prices especially compared to some of the more commercial restaurants we were looking up in the area. Then when the food arrived it blew our minds. It was so delicious. Everything tasted fresh and vibrant. I love marinara sauce and this is some of the best I had, my eggplant Parmesan was a generous portion and so tasty. My wife got the manicotti that also tasted very bright and new compared to others we've had in the past. It was a great experience and we'd love to come here again when we're in the area.

This minority owned cozy Italian restaurant survived COVID because of how delicious they are. It's a small spot, but I've never had to wait for a table when I've been there for lunch and dinner. The service is fast and attentive and the food is perfection! *Chef's kiss!* They bring out toasted French bread little by little so it's always nice and warm for you. Craving comfort Italian food? This spot is calling!

The first few times I had Anthony's, it was good. The linguine de mare had mussels and clams in the shell as well as shrimp and scallops. And the pasta was acceptable quality. The bread and salad always left a lot to be desired. For the past year, it's gone downhill. From using frozen thawed seafood mix without the shells to when the menu says, "crab" what they're actually giving you is surimi, and the garlic bread is worse than I remember eating in public school. The salad is a chunk of iceberg with a few grated carrot slices. It truly is cafeteria food. I eat it because it's provided for me but I'd never pay to eat the food. Chef Ramsey needs to gift this place a makeover. The food is low grade. Edit: business corrected me. I probably remember wrong about the dish linguini de mare having mussels. Looking at the thumbnails of my photos, there aren't mussels but you can see the clams in shell. I've never ordered ciopino here. And uf they claim the seafood isn't frozen thawed, ok. But the core result - that the food is low grade cafeteria food stands. And I'm not the only one who sees it. Oh, and the mushrooms, they are canned. They cannot say differently because I can tell.

It may be the other side of Natomas, but Anthony's Italian remains in my rotation when a pasta craving hits, especially easy to call ahead for pickup later in the evening since they're open until 9 PM. I'm a fan of the the tortellini all panna, and the Triple Treat (chicken parm, lasagna, fettuccine alfredo). These come with either a soup (minestrone) or a side salad (your choice of dressing) and garlic bread. The portions are huge and made fresh to order. If you're super hungry, a single order of tortellini is plenty. Even for me, as someone who can eat, I can only finish the salad, bread, and 2 out of the 3 items in the triple treat in one sitting. If you have room for dessert, they do have spumoni ice cream and tiramisu too. So much to choose from, an extensive menu variety whatever you fancy.

If you're looking for homestyle Italian food that will make your taste buds explode, Anthony's Italian is your place! It is a small, but cozy restaurant that will make you feel like you are in the comfort of your own home. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but anything with their Alfredo sauce or clams is amazing!

Yelpers.... Thank you for your the reviews. We ordered takeout and ate it in our hotel room. The pasta was so good and they certainly give you a lot for your money. The person who took our order was so helpful and friendly. When hubby picked up the order, the place is very busy. Enjoyed our Italian food!

Definitely recommend. The food is fresh, authentic and the portions are quite worthy of the price. Having been born and raised in NYC, I can honestly say Anthony's is one of the few italian restaurants in California that know how to make a proper chicken parmigiana and Italiansoda!

Definitely 5 star experience! The staff was so kind. Portions were huge! And came with bread and salad. I enjoyed fettuccine with shrimp. Nice little restaurant! Will return.

The food here is really good and reasonably priced. Their tiramisu is really good and the restaurant although small is packed. This place is exactly what you're looking for. Great food in an unassuming bel air strip mall shopping center.

I recently took a trip to Sacramento, and this restaurant was recommended by the hotel. Driving up, I was a little nervous. There were people arguing in the parking lot, and police were nearby dealing with people at the grocery store on the same shopping center. After checking reviews, I placed an order online for lasagna and a slice of tiramisu to celebrate my birthday. Upon arriving to pick up my meal, I was grated by a lovely human named Diana. Diana asked if I wanted soup or salad and thanked me for my order. Being greeted by someone with colorful make up on and a joyful smile was a bonus star!! I got back to the hotel to eat and I was blown away by my first bite of the lasagna!!! I immediately called to compliment the restaurant. I'm sorry it took so long to review. The lasagna was better than my mother in laws!!! The tiramisu was excellent, too!!

My partner found this place on yelp after we moved to the area last year. We finally tried it and let's just say that we have been back 5 times in 2 weeks. From the house made salad dressings to the Anthony's triple treat, we have enjoyed EVERYTHING. While Patricia served us the 1st time, we have had the pleasure of being served by Krystal each other time. This is such a quaint place for any meal and the service is beyond perfect.

I have been by here twice for lunch. The first time I had the lasagna, the second time the cannelloni. They were both good, but I liked the cannelloni better. The lunch specials come with a choice of soup or salad, both times I had the minestrone. The lunches also come with bread, which is just ok. The restaurant is small but nice, and the service was good.

The place may look like a hole in the wall but the food definitely tastes 5-star! I had the Baked Mosca and regretted nothing.

The food is always amazing. In all the years I've been coming here I've never had a bad meal. I love that it's a family owned business. I've lived in Sacramento all my life and in this area. I appreciate the intimacy of a small restaurant without all the noise, TVs and/or loud music. I will always return to Anthony's. I wish they hadn't changed their hours.

Went there for lunch with the team. Everyone enjoyed their meal and felt like it was excellent value for their money- a rarity these days. The soup, sandwiches and pasta were all very good and the team is ready to go there again.

Anthony's Italian Cuisine is a nice spot to go to if you're craving some cheesy, red saucy, pasta-y Italian food! Located in the heart of South Natomas, Anthony's serves up some great family food. Having tried this spot out a few times now, I have a good feel for what you're getting. I love their calamari and Lasagna, both absolutely hit the spot! The fettuccini Alfredo is a close runner-up! Also a nod to the Eggplant Parmigiana, my wife's favorite. I've only had their orders to go, but they do have a small dining area with a cozy feel to it. The staff have always been nice and I have no complaints about my experience! For the price, food and service, Anthony's Italian is a great choice for you and the family, there's so many options to choose from so I'll be returning.

For the price this is a 4-star. Hard to find Veal Parm with angel hair and a salad for around $20. Went at lunch and was pretty slow. Dining room is clean and there was one waitress running the front of house. I knew what I wanted and quickly ordered. Received a side of toast with my salad. The salad, bread, and food was fresh. The veal was hot and fresh, except it was a lower quality veal that could have benefited from a bit more seasoning. The pasta was good and I enjoyed it. Service was good. Portions were good too.

I love Anthony's! Come here at least once a month. The service is great and the food is always hot, fresh and delicious. I love how simple the food is and the "hole in the wall" family atmosphere! Very cozy. If you're in the mood for Italian in Natomas, give this small business a try!

The food was fresh when I got it! The lasagna was super tender and hot; the white sauce pasta was perfect in texture and saucey; and the chicken was also tender and generously covered in red sauce and cheese. This place reminds me of a mom and pop restaurant. The food tastes home made. The portions are generous in comparison to the Cheesecake Factory. I got their trio thinking I would get half the amount of what I got based on chain restaurant portions. If you're on a budget and want to feed your family, I would go here. The lady who I picked up my to go order was very kind and welcoming.

I saw the glowing reviews for this place and went there for late dinner. It has the kit-che italian decor, I was promptly seated. I settled on veal marsala. I was promptly served a salad, then the meal. The dishes are really homiey. I swear an aunt had the same dishes. The waitress did check on me several times and I was promptly served my entree. I wasn't really impressed but the taste was good, the sauce was decent.

Great authentic Italian restaurant. Food and service were great. Dining room is nice. Prices were relatively modest for the quality and quantity of food. In any other area, I think this place would be packed. Everything was fresh. Desserts were nice ending to a delicious meal.

We don't generally go to a strip mall to eat but when we do, we go to Anthony's! Excellent place to satisfy a craving for Italian. We love the Triple Threat. If you're new to this place try it! You will get three items. Lasagna, Fettuccine Alfredo and a Chicken Parmesan that will fill whatever type of Italian craving you may have. My husband and I are Italian by heritage and grew up enjoying the real deal. Some of their entrees remind us of our Nonna's food. The bread comes two slices at a time. More is delivered upon request. A bottle of wine is very affordable. Wine glasses are small but filled to the brim if you're ordering by the glass. We have NEVER had bad service here. Leo is a bonus, meeting your needs with ease and friendliness. Interior is vanilla. Dining area is small without the ambience of a fine dining experience but it still feels good and Italian. No need to dress up - Just bring your apatite! We often see the same folks enjoying dinner and the steady stream of take out tells the story of how popular their food is. Not only is it reasonably priced, it's delicious.

Got the lasagna with alfredo, minestrone soap, and cannoli. Everything was amazing. The meat in the lasgana was well seasoned and cooked to perfection. Soup was perfect and as good or better than spaghetti factory. The garlic bread could do a little better but it was good. Cannoli was new for me to try and was a perfect treat in the end. Price was good and better than spaghetti factory that charges way too much for lasagna. I will be back!

The food was delicious and flavorful. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to those who are looking for Italian cuisine that is. Delicious and reasonably priced.

This little restaurant could easily be overlooked but that would be a tragedy. Family owned and run, Anthony's offers an extensive menu & award winning fare including a "triple threat" ( chicken parmigiana, fettuccine Alfredo, & lasagna ). When I don't opt for my favorite eggplant parmigiano, l may splurge on their cioppino It is chock full of clams, mussels, white fish, scallops, and shrimp. Included with the entrees is garlic bread & a salad. You can purchase a reasonable bottle of wine.

Wow, what a find! Grateful for Yelpers who raved about this spot. Tucked in a fading strip mall at the corner of Truxel and El Camino, it could easily be missed. I'm glad I didn't. Delightful little eatery that's been around for 20+ years, and I can see why. Delicious authentic Italian food, reasonable prices, sensible portions, and pleasant staff. Kitchen turnaround time is very quick from order to food on the table. I usually try lasagna for my first visit to any Italian restaurant, and this passed my test. The salad was acceptable even though I'm no fan of knife-sliced romaine lettuce which leaves me with unwieldy pieces on my plate. All of the fixings were fresh and crispy so I forgave the dino slices. The tiramisu for dessert was heavenly. Yes, I had dessert, mostly because the lasagna portion was perfect for a meal. I mean, c'mon, I was outta there for $24 including tip for bread, salad, entree, and dessert. This guy is onto something - no wonder he's been successful for decades.

Their food is amazing and the bread is yummy. I am a big fan literally. Def worth trying !!!!!

Last weekend, our family went to Anthony's Italian Cuisine. We dined in the restaurant It is a fairly small restaurant and most of the tables were taken at 7 PM on a Saturday. The atmosphere is casual but nicely decorated for a family Italian restaurant. I had the Triple Treat which is a combination plate of chicken parmigiana, fettuccine alfredo, and lasagna. It was very tasty. My family had the angel hair pomodoro and the chicken marsala. All of the dinner entrees come with bread and a choice of soup or salad. The menu is very extensive with chicken, veal, and seafood options. It will take a dozen visits before I get through all of the entrees I found interesting on their menu. This was not our first time here and we have been happy at the end of each visit. I highly recommend Anthony's as our neighborhood Italian restaurant for the Natomas area.

We recently grabbed takeout from Anthony's and ordered a variety of dishes so we could find a favorite. They have so many choices and they're all really affordable. Once we got everything home we realized how big the portions really were. Each entree could easily feed two people. I love that they have special lunch options, including some great sandwich options. We tried the Submarine Sandwich and it came with crinkle cut fries. We also ordered some cheesy garlic bread and it paired perfectly with the pasta dishes. I'm excited to try more off the menu, so far everything has been delicious!

Amazing food! I got the manicotti and my boyfriend the chicken parmigiana and we both agreed both meals were sooo good! Not to mention the homemade tiramisu cake was to die for!

Nice quiet little spot the food was amazing. Service was on point. It's a little crowded, but I enjoyed myself. We'll definitely be back.

Food portions was a good size for the price of the plate, definitely going back to try more plates

Great food. Large portions. Reasonable prices. Service is excellent. This little family restaurant has been a gem in Natomas for years.

I won't give the four stars I wanted to give due to not knowing if the AC just went out or something. It was hot so towards the end of eating since I was eating Cioppino I was ready to go but I'm also tired. However the service was good and I loved feeling like it was intimate because after a long day it was a nice place to go over our day. His fettuccine was great with chicken. He loved the bread and bread on the side with cheese. I wasn't a huge fan of our salad and not the best salad out of any I've had but I would still rate it a 5 if it wasn't hot so I didn't want to take a star away. We will be making this a regular place. Maybe for take out or when it gets so much cooler.

The restaurant in ambience looks very nice however we got our food to go. we ordered the ravioli,lasagna, clam chowder and minestrone soup, and they were all excellent.

My favorite little hole in the wall. The food is amazing. The staff is so nice and remembers their regulars. Our family has been visiting here for years and plan to continue

Lasagna & Meat Raviolis are our favorites. Excellent service always. Melt in your mouth goodness. Small quaint place with wonderful Italian food at a good price. Love their sauce. So fresh.

Food was good service was slow. It took a long time to get the meal, but I'd rather have that if it's cooked fresh I need to get new wine glasses. This is not 1986 big wine glasses are needed for Italian restaurants.

Let me start by saying, your homemade food is life and love! We ordered delivery today because I'm home recovering from a hip replacement and Anthony's Linguini De Mare is just the ticket! When I dined in last month, the food was piping hot! When it arrived tonight it was still piping hot! When dining in, the ambiance is like home. You have two diners forever. I recommended friends to you and they were not disappointed at all!

Absolutely delicious food! The prices are reasonable. My favorites are the meatballs and Parmesan chicken. We typically doordash it and it still arrives hot and fresh.

We stopped into this little family run gem last week for an early dinner. It's clear they have a loyal local following. People were busy picking up their take out orders. We ordered a few dishes from the dinner menu and enjoyed the welcoming atmosphere and local clientele. Our food arrived fairly quickly. It was piping hot and pretty darn tasty. Staff checked in on us at every point along the way. Stop by this little neighborhood gem next time you're in the area. They will be happy welcome you.

Anthony's was amazing!!!! I had the triple threat, which was fettuccine Alfredo lasagna and chicken Parmesan. Every bit of it was delicious. It was probably an enough food for three people. I highly recommend.

This smaller restaurant has a homey atmosphere that compliments their comfort food. I feel this is their selling point. Other than that, I thought their food tasted just okay. I can see why many people enjoy this place. Although it was quite busy when I walked in, they seated me fairly quickly and took my order. My plate came with an ample amount of food, and it did not taste bad by any means. I just thought everything could have used a bit more salt, which was provided at our table. I tried a variety of entrees and felt this was true across the board. I personally prefer my food to be under-seasoned rather than over, so if you are okay with that, this may be the spot for you.

I had just moved to this part of town and ordered lunch for delivery. The food was delicious and amazing and fast. I felt the quality and affordability was awesome. Overall, a lovely lunch from a wonderful place that welcomed me to the area.
