Antonio's Pizzeria and Italian Restaurant

My daughter has celiac, and everyone here was so wonderful and knowledgeable. The gluten-free food was incredible. The atmosphere was calm and peaceful. I really can't praise this place enough!

Celiac accommodating

Since it opened in the mid 1950s, ANTONIO'S PIZZERIA and ITALIAN RESTAURANT, a neighborhood, Chicago style, Italian eatery, has created delicious, cooked from scratch, Northern and Southern Italian cuisine. RESERVATIONS ARE STRONGLY RECOMMENDED. Steven Lunardon, co-owner with his brother, Chef Alex offer a delicious, surprisingly complex menu of conventional, vegan, and gluten free, salads, pizza, pasta, poultry, fish, meat entries, and scrumptious desserts. Reese, our server, answered our questions, describing the dishes. Even in this very crowded restaurant service is amazingly fast. The large, chilled, crisp (personal-sized) salads are delivered within a few minutes. The main course arrived fifteen minutes later. Our menu choices included Vegan Pizza, two orders of gluten-free Chicken Parmesan, and Pasta Ricotta. For dessert: Chocolate Windmill Cake and Carrot Cake. Portions are generous. As a vegan, I found the medium, thick crust pizza had the wonderful flavor of Chicago pizza. I took home a couple of slices. (In college, I learned to enjoy cold pizza and warm, flat beer for breakfast.) The rest of the table enjoyed their large meals and also took their leftovers home. Unfortunately, the gluten free desserts were not vegan. However, my table mates devoured them. STUFF: Comfortable booths line two walls. Tables are rearranged to support group dinning. The bathrooms and restaurant are ADA compatible. There is a low step from the parking lot into the rear of the restaurant. The front entrance is flat. Some free ADA parking is available behind the building.
