A Burnaby Tradition

More than a restaurant —
it’s a part of our family.

For over 40 years, Anton’s Pasta Bar has been serving generous portions of classic Italian dishes made with love, laughter, and Calabrian hospitality.

What began in 1983 with just nine tables, three sauces, and a four-burner stove has become a Burnaby institution where friends and families gather around big plates of pasta and good wine.

Inspired by recipes passed down from Tony Mauro’s mother in Calabria, every dish carries a little piece of home.

Lovely pasta, lots of choices. Big servings bring an appetite and prepare to take some home. Wonderful staff, so accommodating.

To write a review really is unnecessary, as this place is so well known and so enjoyable, the line up starts before they are open. It is always worth the wait. I've been coming here for years and years and I love it more every time

To order pickup, call hours ahead to fit into their schedule. Visited Anton's several times through the years and usually doesn't disappoint. Occasionally a dish isn't great, but usually fine. You can order dinner sizes for lunch if you want lots of leftovers. I find the chorizo they use for Italian sausage too spicy. Some dishes we've tried: * Fettuccine prosciutto fungi, was marvelous. * Tortellini napoletana was good, but nothing special. I think the other stuffed pasta are better. * Cannelloni Della Nonna was very rich. I think it was good and a nice amount of spinach, but maybe too much for me. * Caesar salad was great. Lots of dressing and it had good anchovy flavour. * Carciofo salad was meh. Didn't love the pesto dressing and not a lot of artichoke. * Conchigelle fruiti di mare which is a great white seafood pasta. * Linguine alla siciliana was a slightly fishy (anchovies) but absolutely delightful pasta dish with wonderfully chewy noodles. * Rigatoni all porto wasn't great. * Conchiglie Alla Cosentina is shell pasta in a white sauce with vegetables and bacon that was a massive hit with everyone. My sons loved it and ate a shocking amount. * Penne Alla Calabrese was good, but the sausage was a bit too spicy for me. * Rigatoni Con Tonno was novel and I really enjoyed it. Tuna and artichoke in a red sauce isn't something I've had before. * Agnolotti Cardinale is like a ravioli and I really liked both the sauce and the pasta. * Penne pastora wasn't good. Too spicy, too peppery, to nutmeggy. Not much flavour aside from heat and still didn't enjoy after adding other veg to leftovers.
