Diamond Bar Restaurant Guide

My mom loves this Italian Restaurant. It's pretty hidden in a random plaza in Diamond Bar (there seems to be a lot of random, seemingly deserted plazas in this city, and I grew up here!). This place is pretty authentic, but the ambiance is more dreary than romantic.

Pasta dishes are homemade, what can beat that?... and you gotta try their Baked Halibut with Macadamia Nut crust, so creamy and flaky... you can thank me for the recommendation later, *wink*!

In my honest opinion, D'Antonio's Ristorante seems to be one of those hidden treasures that's worth checking out. Our family came here to celebrate an "Early-Father's Day" dinner since we all know Father's Day was going to be jammed packed at the restaurants all over SoCal. The recommendation came from my brother's girlfriend (props to you K.B.) and I have to say D'Antonio's was well worth the visit. If you want something "different" than your normal-everyday Romano's/Olive Garden/Johnny Carino's, come here.

-=Basics=-

Location: They're located on N. Diamond Bar Blvd along the 57 freeway, between the Midas and Acapulco. If you go past the bowling alley, you've gone too far! :P

Prices/Portions: $$-$$$ prices fall in between $13 up to $36 per entree, depending on what you order. Some entrees have the option for 1/2 size or full size with a few dollars difference. The full size is worth it if you want to your guests to sample your entree or if you want to take the leftovers home.

Appetizers: We tried the calamari, simply awesome! Very tender, not chewy.
