Review of Antonio's Pizzeria and Italian Restaurant

13619 Ventura Blvd, Sherman Oaks, CA 91423

Overall Rating

Review


This place has the biggest most awesome GF menu I've ever seen at an Italian Restaurant. Not just one or two choices but literally two dozen different options. And since I must eat gluten free and I am always caution because it's not just the food but the preparation that is important. I'm giving Antonio's 5 stars across the board on all accounts. I got the GF Chicken Parmesan and it was so flavorful. The chicken was a nice thick piece; the GF breading was evident but not overpowering. But the sauce and cheese - delicious. Plus their house Italian dressing was really, really good. A mild taste, not the usual biting sharp taste some Italian dressings have. As for preparation, they know how to be careful so that my food doesn't come in contact with gluten containing food and even know about cooking pasta in a separate pot and clearly marked all of my food so no confusion. Those extra steps are so important and as a result, I was able to enjoy my dinner with no later consequences. We'll definitely be back!

Numerous GF options - close to two dozen. They know about preparation separate from other types of food and clearly marked my to-go package. Excellent.
