Antonia Laguna Niguel Reviews
Stumbled on this restaurant one evening. It was a delightful experience. The food was excellent. The staff very friendly and kind. I was introduced to Franco the owner and he was so kind and open. We had a lively conversation. I laughed and truly left feeling i stumbled in to a little piece of heaven.
Delicious and authentic Italian cuisine. Delicious wine - I had an Italian Chianti and my sister had an Italian cab. So good! Salmon. Rigatoni Bolognese, and Lasagna were so good! Definitely check this place out!
Unbelievably authentic Italian food that has been missing from DP/LN area. Fantastic flavors and presentation with zero compromise on quality. The restaurant that was previously at this location is gone for a reason. Antonia’s will not have that problem.
We went for munchies and found a lot of choices. Some places have very limited munchies on there menu. It's nice to find a place with more munchy choices. Sometimes you only want a munchy and not a big huge meal.
12/10 service food ambiance and experience!! One of my new favorite Italian restaurants in OC. Love everything about it
Excellent authentic Italian food. Great service. Really nice bar for after dinner nightcap.
A welcome update of an old restaurant space.Wonderful food,interesting menu. Good service.We are going back tonight.
A fellow Italian and I can say this is one of the best Italian restaurants around 😋 server and host were great too!
Fantastic service food and the owner was wandering around saying hello to everybody... Talked about wine ...talked about veal.... Great Discovery
The bar, food, and service were absolutely excellent and I would highly recommend Antonia's!
Great food! Owners and staff are friendly and welcoming.
Upon entering the restaurant we were greeted by the owner, creating a warm, friendly atmosphere. The view was spectacular. The sauce for the calamari was amazing. The homemade pasta and meatballs were the best I ever had. We will definitely return.
Great Restaurant! Everything I have had there has been excellent. Very nice layout, good service and decent prices. Looking forward to the opening of the bar side. They say the test of an Italian restaurant is the Bolognese, one the best I have ever had.
This is a hidden gem tucked away in Laguna Niguel. The food and and atmosphere are fantastic and the live band was excellent. The owner came by and greeted us at our table and made us feel at home and our waitress Amy was awesome. A true go to for authentic Italian food.

Good remodeling of the space with many nice and modern touches. Love the light fixtures! Staff was friendly, attentive and knew the menu well. The roasted chicken was excellent and a good portion. The eggplant was a little underwhelming as it didn't have much flavor but consistency and portion size were good. We'll definitely go back and hope this place is a success.

Fantastic food, great atmosphere, but the service was terrible. They kept forgetting our table and when they finally did come over the waiter had a horrible attitude.

Antonio’s has so much potential but lacks the atmosphere and inviting touches other local Italian restaurants have developed. No no welcoming hostess, no table decor, unlit Christmas tree, and very few patrons. Meat Lasagne needed cheese and sauce. Good luck!
Had a Togo order. They had no sausage so I had dry meatballs with no sauce. Wife have pasta so unimpressive forgot what type. Ceaser salad that I could buy better at grocery store pre packaged. The cost was crazy expensive for what we got. I'll wait till real reviews come in not friends reviewing.

Just terrible. Great location with terrible food that takes forever to get to you even though the restaurant is empty. So disappointing. There is no doubt they are going to fail, I just hope someone with some cooking skill takes over the building once they are out. The chef doesn't care about the place as he sat at the table next t us drinking wine all night while the kitchen was clueless on how to make decent food. Other tables got up and left, I wish I would have. Makes me sad.
I have to change my review to 1 Star. We were charged a "Surchage" on our bill after the 1st bill was brought to our table. We noticed the bill was higher after they charged us! No explanation or heads-up about this charge. Unethical way to conduct business! We won't be back.
