I love Italian food, and this place did not disappoint. The food was delicious, my first time eating there and I will definitely recommend and will return. The service was great too, all the staff were met were friendly and very welcoming.

Met a friend for happy hour at the bar. The female bartender was very friendly and acknowledged my presence immediately. Since the restaurant wasn't busy, my drink was made quickly. The happy hour menu has a nice selection of food choices to choose from and I ordered the cheese pizza which was excellent. Just the right amount of sauce and cheese on top of a delicious thin crust. As for the ambiance, it's a fairly typical bar with at least 8 seats at the bar and enough tables to seat multiple parties. If you're looking for good food, a cold drink and a local place to meet a friend, give Antonucci's a try.

We went in this morning for crepes! Best food and service 5 stars all around. They even provided a Birthday Tiramisu for my husband's Birthday

Hi. I'mmm back! We're back. My daughter and I. We've been away for a while, my daughter doing her own thing, and me eating at a certain French restaurant in San Juan. Boy, was it nice to be back, and the place was packed. I guess a lot of people had read my Yelps. You think? The staff remembered us, hopefully for good reasons and not the altercation I started with the neighboring table last time. Just kidding. Emma was there again serving us, so obviously service was impeccable. I tried something totally new for me that my daughter suggested, linguini with clams. Oh, goodness, to die for. It was so good. I can hardly wait for next Friday, Fridays being the night we eat out. You might guess where we'll be coming, and what I'll be having, perhaps with the addition of some mussels. Thanks again everyone!

Recent brunch with 8 friends, who ordered both sweet and savory crepes, omelets, & eggs benedict, was a success. All were pleased with the choices. The restaurant is attractive and very clean. Marlene and the servers were personable and very attentive. Chef owner Luigi stopped by to welome us. We'll be back...for breakfast, lunch, Happy Hour and dinner!

The food is always amazing! Love their pizza and lasagna! Service is always great. Authentic feeling atmosphere. Definitely recommend.
THIS PLACE IS SO GOOD!!!!! This was our first time here and we got the salmon crepe and the La Francaise crepe and it was delicious. We dove in to eat these before I remembered to take a photo, so apologies on the messy photo, but we will be coming back many times!! We plan to take my mom here next week for breakfast and try their dinner soon. We are still talking about the crepe flavor, delicious!!!! Highly recommend. Ambiance is adorable as well, not too loud, playing themed music, everyone was very nice.

Incredible crepes for breakfast and brunch!!! Antonucci's recently started serving breakfast and brunch in Mission Viejo. My wife and I are so excited to have a charming new place to go for breakfast in the neighborhood. The service is great and the cozy ambience is a fantastic way to start the day. Our favorite dishes are the La Francaise and La Salmon crepes.

This is quickly turning in to my favorite place to eat. Have been there twice this week! Once for dinner and once for breakfast! Yes breakfast! Lulu's in Laguna Hills closed recently and they are now serving the Lulu's breakfast menu at Antonucci's. Dinner has been getting better every time we visit and the breakfast was wonderful. Service always excellent! I had the Rigatono Con Gamberi Limoncello Shrimp dish and literally wanted to lick the bowl after eating the entire thing! Will be my pasta go to from now on! Pizza was also excellent. Great wine selection! Breakfast menu has a little of everything, including a long list of Crepe options. Highly recommended for both breakfast and dinner:) Great cocktails and coffee drinks too!

First of all, our server, Emma, was outstanding. So friendly and caring. Keep up the great work, Emma! You should be working in fine dining.We ordered the special of the night, Shrimp Scampi, and waited approx 45 minutes after finishing our salad. They apologized numerous times and kept saying it was coming. When it did finally arrive, they had split the entree for us which was very nice. The dish tasted very good, although I was kind of surprised that they did not peel the shrimp. I was also surprised that the butter (for bread) was served in foil wrapped packets.When they brought the bill, I was blown away when I saw that the entree was $48?!?!? Seriously?Antonucci’s Mgmt: you are not El Fornaio or Maggiano’s; you are an Italian “style” restaurant in an old strip mall. Please stay in your lane.

Hate dining in south OC but this place was good. Was told by a friend we’d get free dessert as first time customers but alas…. Food was worth it, would come back.
