Antone's Italian Eatery - Mafia sandwich - Italian Near Me - Riverside, California

New owners The foogd ia atill as good ever Meaball sub is as good as the first ine Tony made in 1971 when I started going there

Been a customer over 50 years and I'm not ready to call it quits yet. Never before until recently, have I had a bad experience at this restaurant! After lunch rush, nobody here except a lady reading a book in the corner. I ordered a sandwich twenty minutes ago. I can hear lots of laughter and carrying on in the kitchen, but no sandwich in sight. The last time I was here, everything was fine, but the time before that, 3 months ago, the sandwich was greasy and not made correctly. I recommend that you hire a secret shopper and/or have an investor hang around for a couple of days. Update: 30 minutes in! Maybe they missed my order! Update: a girl just popped out of the kitchen and said, "what was your order?" 45 minutes in.just received out order only for the neighboring table told the waitress when she brought them spaghetti that they had ordered cheese bread and ordered it as an appetizer! The waitress said, "oh sorry, would you like me to make you some?" Customer refused. Do better! Having said all that, the Mafia sandwich was delicious! read more

First time in since new owner took over. Literally the best meatball sub ever! I will be having one everyday till I am sick of it and will move on to something else on the menu. read more

Antone's is so so good! The person at the counter was very nice and helpful. I got a meatball sandwich and it tasted great. I've only ever been to Antone's twice over the years but I definitely regret not choosing to go here more. I think the inside recently got redone and it looks great. Great food and I totally recommend it :) read more

Antone's Italian Eatery - Uncle Ed (Meatball) - Italian Near Me - Riverside, California

I wanted to try a local Italian restaurant, so I decided to go to Antone's. It is small and quaint. The restaurant was clean and I was greeted immediately. I ordered the cheese ravioli with meat sauce. I got my order within 15 minutes, as promised. I was disappointed by the presentation and taste. The sauce has very little noticeable meat. It tasted like plain tomato sauce. I had to add Parmesan cheese and salt to give it some flavor. If there had been basil on the table, I would've added that as well. The garlic cheese bread came with the meal, but it was saturated in butter. If I go back, I will try the pizza. read more

The employee who helped us was great. Very friendly, quick but not rushing. I thought that The Stacy (sausage patty, bell pepper, onion, provolone on toasted bread) was a bit small for the price. I had this sandwich years ago, pre-inflation and it was mouth-watering!! This one was fine, not bad at all, but not delish. read more

Been a fan of Antone's since I was a child. New owners got the spot and you worry that the food will taste different. It hasn't changed at all! Fresh bread just like it was made when I was a kid. If you live here come visit again, if your visiting it's worth trying. Glad I came back to Riverside for their reopening day. read more

Great food !!! Would definitely reccomend this place to family and friends. Thank you for making me feel at home

Was in Riverside for a family event and found this spot, will absolutely be back next time I'm in town. Food and service were excellent! The Mafia is basically a perfect sandwich. read more

Went to this place on accident. I was originally craving a Banh Mi and wanted to try the Pho place next door but they were closed so my husband and I decided to give this restaurant a try. Was not disappointed. The service was great and the owner was so kind and even offered us a sample of a new dish that was not on the menu yet. It was bomb and overall a great experience. I would recommend giving this place a try, we'll be back. read more

Best in the west pizza next to my homemade ones I make here at home every weekend. I to have a custom built pizz- oven in my back yard.

I was looking forward to this meal, because I know Antoine's has been around for a long time. I ordered the Earl (meatball sandwich). I had three bites and was done. The bread was borderline burned and should really be called a ground beef sandwich not a meatball sandwich, because it did not have meatballs. Ultimately, I couldn't eat it because the flavor was lacking. Our server was friendly and polite. read more

Food is delicious!! I had a meatball sandwich and my husband had The Mafia, so so good! read more

We had a hard time finding it ! We had a meatball sandwich on garlic bread! It was pretty good but they served it wrapped in paper and just laid on table! No plates. Inside could use a makeover. It just looks old. I don't think I'd drive that far again when firehouse subs is just as good!! read more

Oh my gosh! I've been coming to Antone's since high school 50 years! I was so happy to see they were still in Riverside when my husband and I relocated back here! Yesterday for Super Bowl we ordered Antone's famous Italian subs. The bread is so amazing and the quality of the meat and cheese is incredible! If you want to impress someone who loves Italian food take them to Antone's you won't be disappointed!! read more

Moved out of state a couple years ago haven't been since they changed owner until the other day. The mafia and meatball are excellent, maybe even a little better. Their phone number has changed. I used to have them on speed dial. read more

Always clean, nice guests dining in, and I can't say enough about the food (have tried everything but the veggie sandwich) and it has never disappointed! My frequent is "the mafia" adding capicola, pepperoni, and jalapeños! That way is delicious then we kick it up a bit when I get it on their ever so fresh garlic bread! The new owners are pretty darn amazing too! read more

Wife and I had great sandwiches. Mine was a meatball and hers was a vegetarian. Would love to come back again to try something else. Atmosphere was great also and clean. read more

First time eating at this establishment, and I am very impressed with the food they offer. The food is amazing, I had the club sandwich, which has an ample amount of meat, turkey, and ham. Bread is delicious. Plan on going back to try the other varieties of sandwiches and pizza they offer. Service was great also and fast. Highly recommend trying this place out. This is our new Italian shop to eat at. read more

Absolutely love Antones! Although I don't eat here ALOT it will always one of my fave places to get a sandwhich from

I really wanted to be able to give a good review as I love to support local businesses; however, my experience with Antone's food has consistently been subpar. The pasta salad is bland, with hardly any olive oil and vinegar and unseasoned. The ravioli is also bland, and the sauce tasted like it came from a can. After sitting in the sauce for about 15 minutes, it became watery. Additionally, it would behoove the company to mention on their website that the cheese ravioli has meat in the sauce, especially for those of us who do not eat meat. While this may seem petty, the prices are high, and I paid for pepperoncinis but never received them. The sandwiches are decent, with lots of meat, but they were overpriced. For example, one time I purchased just a vegetarian sandwich (The Fugazi) which cost more than a meat sandwich at $15.75. After tax and tip it was $20.28... for JUST THE SANDWICH! read more

terrible for vegetarians. got a vegetarian sandwich and it was EVEN MORE THAN THE MEAT SANDWICHES and did not compare to those sandwiches at all. idk if it was the person who made my sandwich that day but not worth it for the price. 3 stars cuz my family really loves it. the meat sandwiches looked great and were so packed with meat. read more

Love this place, staple of Riverside for years. The new ownership has really taken pride in keeping things going while giving some items a refresher. Thanks Jamie and family for all the work. read more

My sandwich was good but for $18.00 the chips and a small drink should come with the sandwich

Cheers to the new owners of Antone's! They have done an excellent job in continuing one of the most iconic food places in Riverside. Just ordered two heart pizzas and they're absolutely delicious. I would also highly recommend their "Mafia." Let's continue to support our local businesses! read more

Antones is amazing! They catered my daughters fifth birthday. Everybody loved the food. Their meatballs are awesome. Would highly recommend for any event. They were very helpful when it came to scheduling the order and helping us figure out how much food we needed and we had just enough with the right amount of leftovers. read more

I drive from Orange County Anaheim Hills area to get my Antone's fix! I LOVE their meatball sandwich on garlic bread and the Mafia on garlic bread. The bread is hand made daily! I have been twice since the reopening. My favorite used to be the roast beef and gravy sandwich with provolone cheese, but they didn't have it after the reopening for a couple weeks. It's back so I'll be picking up all three on my next trip out to Antone's read more

This place is old school cool The menu, location and interior have not changed since I was a kid. The mafia is my favorite and I also love the meatball. The sandwiches are pretty small but they will fill you up cause there's a lot of meat inside. read more

Despite the hours posted, they're never opened. Not sure how they stay an operating business. It's frustrating, because their food is actually really good. read more

First time having Antone's and I had no idea this place is the new Italian staple in riverside. Being from New York I am happy to have found a place that embodies the east coast vibes. The sauce is al dente', their meatballs are amazing, and did I mention they serve peroni's! Loved everything about this place - we hosted a rehearsal dinner for a dear friend and had the pleasure to meet the owner and his team. What a stand up guy who has created a beautiful restaurant! Great staff, great food, great laughs and an overall great experience. We will definitely be back! read more

We used Antones to cater our reunion and they did amazing From figuring out a menu list in our budget, to delivery the process was easy. But most importantly... THE FOOD WAS AMAZING!! Everyone loved it. Thanks so much to Jamie, Chris and the entire team to help make our event great!! read more

Wonderful Italian food selections. I've been doing to this place for lunch since 2010 and still love it. My favorite is the Mafia Sandwich with added capicola. Their bread is so soft you would assume it is family owned which is true. Then I tried the Meatball sandwich and that was delicious too. Nothing ever goes wrong with the sandwiches here. Only thing is I have not tried their pasta dishes yet, which I will someday. The interior atmosphere is somewhat dark on one side and there's another side that's bright so you can choose. Friendly, sincere, and mindful staff. Thank you! read more

The food was scrumptious, tasty, delicious, flavorful, and mouth-watering. The people in there are very, super, and extremely friendly, and nice. I would highly recommend this restaurant.
