Best Seafood & Pasta Spots near Antioch, CA (From a Local Who Eats Here Weekly) 🦞🍝
6
items I've lived in Antioch for years and these are the six restaurants I actually rotate through when I'm craving seafood, pasta, or a really good sauce. I've ordered from every single one of these more times than I can count, so this isn't a "best of" li...

Pasta, Sauce & Everything Drenched In It 🍝
Seafood Worth the Drive 🦐
When I want seafood in Antioch, these are my three. One is waterfront and feels like an occasion, one is a chain that never lets me down, and one is a tiny sushi spot most people drive right past. Between them I've never had to leave town to get a go...
This is where I take people when I want to show off Antioch. It sits right on the marina with full Delta views, and they source wild seafood rather than farmed, which you can taste. I go for the seafood, but the pasta dishes here genuinely hold their...
Smith's Landing Seafood Grill
The hidden gem of the list. It's a small mom-and-pop spot on Buchanan Road that's been in Antioch over 20 years, and the fish quality beats places charging twice as much. I go here when I want seafood done a completely different way than the fried-an...

Pasta, Sauce & Everything Drenched In It 🍝
I'm a sauce person before I'm anything else. These three cover the range: creamy Italian, riverside brunch-and-dinner, and fresh-made salsa that isn't out of a jar. All three are places I've been going to for years, not one-time visits.
This is my comfort-food reset button and I'm not embarrassed about it. When I want Alfredo I want Alfredo, and the endless soup, salad, and breadsticks means I can go with anyone regardless of what they're in the mood for. I switch between the creamy...
Olive Garden Italian Restaurant
Right on the San Joaquin River in Old Downtown Antioch's riverfront district, and the view is half the reason to go. They do brunch, seafood, steaks, and they have a full bakery, which means it's the one place I can bring a group with completely diff...
Monica's Riverview
My pick when I want heat instead of cream. They make fresh salsa and guacamole daily, the tortillas are made without lard, and the margaritas don't come out of a machine, which is the detail that keeps me coming back. It's been an Antioch fixture on ...
