Anton's is a very popular local restaurant. The long lines to get in prove this out. Food is consistent, portions large, and staff friendly. More

I was invited for lunch at Anton's last month and I had heard some mixed reviews about their food. The lineup outside made me wonder if the food was really worth the wait...for the enormous plate or bland,pale red pasta that came to our table. Quantity over quality is a common expression that comes to mind whenever Anton's is mentioned.... More

You will notice that everyone comments on the amount of food that you get. Quantitiy does not equal quality. If you are looking for good authentic Italian food, this is not the place to go. This is like comparing a Pizza Hut pizza to a pizza that you would find in Sorrento. The pace is frenetic, not condusive to a... More

Ah, Anton's. Like an old friend. If by friend, you mean a deliciously evil man, who's maniacal mission was to slowly kill you with a mix of intensely flavoured carbohydrates and mojitos. I love this place so much, this was our 4th trip here. We drive from Chilliwack almost exclusively to eat here and have never been disappointed with the... More

First visit to Anton's Pasta Bar. What a nice surprise! I had the smoked salmon linguine and my husband the Proscuitto and Fundi fettucine. We were both very satisfied of our choices. The plate are full and 2 times too much for us, but we brought the rests. The place was full for lunch on a Friday afternoon. I'm curious... More

best place for pasta, on average its about $16/plate and you can more than share with another person or get your own dish and take home the rest. They will let you substitute the pasta so if your meal comes with linguini and you want shells they will do it. Also they have some delicious desserts. You must be prepared... More

Great pasta at the established casual eatery. You'll have enough pasta for 2-3 meals! Yum! More

The pasta here is not good. Poor quality. Average at best in taste. My spouse and I both got sick after our meal as well. We waited in line an hour for this? Why do people bother? If you want meals for 3 days after, sure go. But if you don't want to get sick, don't bother going. All quantity,... More
