Lined up for 30 mins to get in on a late Thursday night which I did not mind because it was worth it. Food was really good, portion size is huge, and price is very affordable. It was my first time and I was pleased with my experience. We are from Langley so the drive was all worth it. Only one thing that threw me off a little bit was one of the servers (asian guy, im asian too) was really rude towards the other guests. But other than that, it was all awesome. �
We have never been disappointed with any meal that we have had at Anton's. My personal favourite is gnocchi wth arrabiata sauce. As for the portions, well, I have never known anyone to finish a meal in one setting. There are always leftovers to be boxed up and taken home. Delicious food, friendly staff, and great service.
I took a friend of mine here for his birthday. I’ve always wanted to try this restaurant because I heard a lot of great things about it. With the long line ups every day, I was discouraged from going in but for a special occasion, it’s worth the wait. We had our names listed and within a few minutes we were called in. Seating for 2 people is much easier to accommodate obviously. I had the white sauce pasta and my friend ordered the red sauce based pasta. Their wine selection was not extensive but well priced. It was all about the pasta. The sauce they make for their pasta dishes are absolutely delicious and addictive. Every bite was worth the wait. The dish sizes were HUGE! My friend is a big guy and even he couldn’t finish his dish. We both ended up taking out pastas home. I had half of the plate left over. The next day, the pasta still tasted delicious. Not sure if it is the garlic that makes it so tasty but nonetheless, if I didn’t have a carb limit, I would be here every day. You pay for one meal $17.50 but get two because you’ll have lots of leftovers.
If you are hungry for dinner, are you willing to wait outside for 45min in the cold rain? Everyone is doing it and they know why. Wait, lets try something; Imagine the sweet aroma of pesto and roasted garlic, with woffs of boiling pasta and fresh bread. The staff is hussling here and there serving about 20-25 tables. Patrons are big-eyed and smiling with massive portions of hand-made tender penne or linguini in front of them. Laughter and pure joy saturates your soul to it’s core, inspiring you to make this memory last forever. Good times will be had, as Italian food should be synonymous with such joyous occassions.
Now go back outside to your spot in line. Don’t worry they will take your name and it will all be worth it because there will be more tomorrow; in the take-away container that everyone takes home with them after they’re done.
What a wonderful place. Amazing food and the huge portion sizes make up for the slightly higher prices. Warm service even during their peak hour crowds. Would love to be back!
Anton's is best known for their giant pasta portions at a cheap price! It is usually lined out the door. The pasta itself is nothing SUPER special, but it is good for what you pay for. Be prepared to line up unless you come early!
Me & my friends went here for our 3hr break and it was so good! The food size was big enough for all of us not being able to finish it. Staff was great. And we came right after the opened so we didn't have to wait in line.
Good Food, service fast and friendly, very clean place, easy car or bus access but little bit hard finding parking. Never been disappointed in my experiences there. Would definitely bring friends and family
It has been years since I tried t is restaurant. I was not disappointed. Pasta portions were huge and the pasta was fresh and tasty. Service was warm and friendly.
Friendly, quick service. All of the servers I've had were great in terms of their attention to detail and ability of direct you towards what you might like on their vast menu. I either get the Angelica with the creamy spicy tomato sauce, hold the pine nuts or the Penne Antonio. Their tiramisu is also amazing. The portions are huge and I find that I have leftovers for days after. Flavours have depth- this is no basic pasta house like the Olive Garden or Earls or any of those chains that serve basic pastas. This place is a must-visit.
best pasta place ever. portions are huge, considering the price. one order gives me up to 4 meals! i also love the bread. other than the long wait during dinner, this is the best place to go to.
This is the best place for pasta if you're really hungry as they serve very huge amount per order. Their pasta is delicious. A lot of selection from their menu. The place is very busy and a bit expensive. One visit here is enough for me.
It's like movies and looks impossible in 2022 in Vancouver!!! City of $$$$ with small portions!
If you are a pasta lover like us! For sure try this restaurant!

Share your plates and enjoy different ones!
Just note, if you are looking for ambiance, this is not the right place. Except this, everything is memorable there🍻
Great food, big portions even for the small plates. There is another option for 2.75 to get a huge plate which easily serves two people. The best dish we had was penne antonio with extra tomato sauce. Baked rigatoni was great, it’s in the dinner menu. The service is so fast, and the staff are super friendly and helpful. Minimum charge per person is 18, I would suggest you get a salad, one meal and a dessert because the portions are huge. It is a little busy, but definitely worth trying and waiting in the line. Definitely recommended.
“Anton’s began with nine tables, a handful of menu items, and one man dedicated to making sure his guests left full. Over 25 years later Anton’s Pasta Bar is renowned for delicious fresh pasta, friendly staff, reasonable prices, and enormous portions of food. Known as Vancouver’s original pasta bar, Anton’s is a neighborhood legend that hosts repeat guests from all over Greater Vancouver, welcomed by warm smiles and as much as they can eat”.
📞 You cannot reserve a table in Anton’s. First come, first serve. And most of the time there is line-up to go in.
❗️ Upon entering, the Parmesan cheese smell is notices and huge portions of pasta on tables.
✅ As an average person, its almost impossible to finish your portion. Its too big and you have to take the rest home.
🤵♀️ While its too busy and overwhelming for waiters & waitresses, they manage everything and make a good communication with you.
✳️ The atmosphere is nice and warm. Its a little small, but too cozy.
🍝Categories of pasta to choose:
* Red Sauce
* Seafood Sauce
* White Sauce
* Clear Sauce
* Stuffed Pasta
* Baked Dishes (allow 30 minutes to cook)
* Specialty dishes
✅ If you love Pesto, ask for Penne Pesto (hard to find in menu)
✅ If you are a red sauce eater, go for Linguine Bolognese
Enjoy!👌
We visited Anton’s pasta bar and were amazed at quality of food. We had the pesto and beef lasagna. This is easily one of, if not the best pasta we’ve ever eaten. I cannot recommend this place enough!
Delicious high quality plates!
The service is good. Pasta is good but certainly not gourmet, the portion is HUGE that you can certainly get another meal or two with the left over. The bread in the sandwich is over toasted that I feel like I’m eating cracker with sandwich fillings.
Decades of serving a huge variety of pastas for everyone's taste, together with soups, salads, and some appetizers. Well known for their large serving portions and reliable pasta, Anton's continues to have lineups out the door with happy customers inside. Service was friendly and attentive.
OMG!! The food was so good. Normally i can polish off any pasta plate, but this time i met my match. The place was great, the server we had was amazing she helped each of us pick out the perfect pasta dish we were all craving. Was glad i brought home my left overs cause i wanted more the next day.
Get there early because by 630pm the line up was half a block long.
Defined going back for more.
Service is really nice. The pasta is good but not great. There's nothing extraordinary but nothing bad. The main selling point to it, is that the portions are very large and you can often get one huge plate for 2-3 people. I had 3 dinner sized pasta plates.
