Antonello Ristorante in the South Coast Metro area is celebrating its 30th anniversary with a special promotion for its guests.

The famed O.C. eatery, which boasts a menu of mouth-watering Italian cuisine and a stunning wine list, is offering three-course lunches priced at $20 and four-course dinners for $40 through the end of this year.

It's a move that's expected to allow a larger portion of the dining public to enjoy its offerings, which include everything from antipastos to fresh pasta dishes to fish and beef entrées.

“Our food exudes a love of traditional regional cooking prepared using only the freshest and finest quality ingredients from around the globe,” says Antonio Cagnolo, the restaurant’s founder. “Through the years we’ve been honored to play host to a sea of well-known figures and everyday folk all of whom share one thing in common – a love for extraordinary cuisine and an unparalleled dining experience."

He says he hopes the anniversary promotion will give many individuals who may be cutting back due to the economic downturn "a reason to dine out again."

Antonello Ristorante has garnered a number of awards during its 30-year reign. Among them: Golden Scepter awards from the Southern California Restaurant Writers and AAA Four-Diamond Awards.

Antonello Ristorante is located at 3800 Plaza Drive at the South Coast Plaza Village in Santa Ana.
