 Antonello remains a haven for Orange County business, political and social leaders. The décor is elegant, highly detailed and even romantic, reminiscent of the owner's hometown in Italy's Piedmont region. The kitchen produces a few rich Northern Italian dishes that hark back to a more indulgent era of fine dining, such as free-range veal chop with porcini and truffles, richly-sauced pastas and a variety of hearty antipasti. However, chef Franco Barone has introduced dishes from various other Italian regions, especially from his homeland of Sicily. California and Italian selections dominate the extensive wine list. Desserts are presented well, but aren't over-the-top delicious, so perhaps finish with a glass of Italian grappa instead.
