My fiancé and I went to Antonucci's to celebrate our engagement and also to see if this restaurant would make a good setting for our post wedding casual lunch celebration. The service was outstanding. It was our first time visiting so the server told us we would get a house made tiramisu on the house. Such a pleasant surprise! I ordered a Margherita pizza and my fiancé ordered rigatoni. We were brought some bread before the meal. The food came out fairly quickly.. not too long of a wait. The food was still hot which is just how I like it. I loved the pizza-- it was one of the best I've had. My fiancé really enjoyed his rigatoni also. I had a bite and it was delicious. Food was 10/10. Only downside was I ordered a Sprite and it tasted more like sparkling water (which I do not like) than Sprite. It was missing its normal sugary flavor. So I was disappointed by the drink. Don't know if it normally tastes that way like if it's house made "Sprite" or if something was off with their Sprite. I didn't want to complain so I didn't mention it to the staff since everything else was so great and it was just a beverage so not a huge deal. The tiramisu was amazing! Perfect size for the two of us to share. Tasted like classic tiramisu and was served with whipped cream on the side. Delicious. We had a wonderful experience and would love to come back for our after wedding lunch! (:

The food is incredible! I've had the pleasure of dining here on a few occasions with my family and it never disappoints. We came for the Mother's Day brunch most recently. The current owner is a generous person who opens early every Thursday for our Realtor group and they feed us incredible breakfast pizzas and croissant sandwiches. I'm not a pizza crust person, but theirs is crispy and full of flavor. The staff is always smiling and accommodating and the rooms are cozy without being stuffy. I wish I could give them 10 stars.P.S. To the person who said there's way too much garlic - it's Italian food! What do you expect? Yeesh.

Stopped by this evening for dinner at Antonucci's. Sunny was the amazing server and had a terrific smile and excellent customer service. I started with a small cesar salad and a glass of Malbec. Sunny also brought out some fresh bread and once again was pleasant, kind and professional. The Ambiance was soft, quiet and positive. I ordered the spaghetti with marinara sauce, meatballs and sausage. Shay was also quite wonderful and brought out my entree nicely presented and she also offered some grated cheese which I gladly accepted. Shay was also pleasant, kind and a wonderful person. I sat alone reflecting on my mom who I lost two weeks ago and these two wonderful servers made my meal a pleasant experience and I so appreciated their kindness.Highly recommended

My friends are Italian so we came to an Italian restaurant for lunch. Antonucci's claims to be the oldest Italian restaurant in Mission Viejo, established in 1976 but you will find French on the menu too. It is the only Italian restaurant I know that is open for breakfast in the neighborhood.I like how this place is decorated: simple, pleasant, inviting, and comfortable. There are many dishes on the menu I wanted to try. I had a hard time deciding between Calamari Saltari or Agnello Ragu. Finally ordered the lamb shank in the end. The lamb was well prepared, juicy and tasty, very satisfying. We ordered a lemoncello cake for dessert and it was a nice ending to it all.Antonucci's has a lounge/bar next door that offers happy hour menu between 2pm to 6pm daily. For a place with good food and good service, it is a mystery to me why it is not packed with people.

Wanted to give a shoutout to Antonnuci's for the wonderful lunch I had there with my wife. We kicked things off with a fantastic bruschetta that was perfectly toasted . The chicken Parmesan was cooked to perfection and the spaghetti was flavored with what appeared to be olive oil , which I appreciated because I'm not a big fan of marinara sauce. Additionally the tiramisu was quite well done both presentation and taste wise. Grateful to our server for her kindness and patience as we made up our minds. The ambiance reflected a large pizza parlor with a back room ideal for private events.would highly recommend this place for either events or a happy hour

Antonucci's reminds me of the go-to local Italian restaurants that I grew up with. It's an unassuming restaurant in a small shopping center with friendly staff and solid pasta dishes.My wife and I tried the specials, Cajun Chicken & Shrimp Pasta and Handmade Spinach Ravioli in Vodka Sauce, and our kids had Fettuccine Alfredo. The pasta was fresh and the sauces were flavorful. Our kids even asked if we can come back here again while in the middle of their dinner I think Antonucci's will become our new local Italian spot.

Came here for breakfast and the menu has a French flair that appeals to savory and sweet fans. The waiters were friendly, it was clean and not too loud.I had the Eggs Benedict and the eggs were perfectly poached underneath the Hollandaise sauce. My husband liked his egg bacon platter and pan perdu (French toast made from baguette). My daughter liked her strawberry Nutella crepes.The price points are comparable to other breakfast spots.
