Looking for a romantic restaurant to take your Valentine this year? Antonino’s (formerly Chianti Ristorante) in Rancho Cucamonga is the spot. The soothing Italian Arias and the tastefully appointed décor are the perfect setting for that romantic or special dinner at prices that are extremely fair. Antonino’s also has a nice size banquet room that can accommodate parties and business meetings.

Antonino’s offers terrific food and professional service. The velvet-back seats, etched-glass, and beautiful Italian artwork lend to a quiet, relaxing meal. A cozy bar sits in a separate room.

Chef/owner Sartaj Singh is from India’s Punjab region, but his culinary training in Italy started early.

The menu features a variety of Northern and Southern Italian entrees as well as impressive original dishes. Offerings include Shrimp Salad, Pollo Chianti, Vitello Saltinbocca, Whole Sea Bass, Orange Roughy, Penne Pasta with Cream Cheese and a good Fettucini Alfredo.

Approximately 30 wines are served by the glass, including a few Chiantis.
