Our favorite hidden gem in Southcenter. Mainstream italian-style food served by experienced and competent staff. All the standbys: various fresh-made pastas with well-chosen ingredients, a rack of lamb and various fish. I like the beef medallion dish, especially the "reduction". I asked to have lower-carb mushrooms substituted for the default pasta and they happily complied The dessert tray, from which you can select at your table after your meal, always includes a dozen or more of a wide variety of treats.

Anthony’s Home Port in Des Moines is a regular for us. This time we were joined by another couple to enjoy a fine meal and each other’s company. Anthony’s never disappoints. Great location with an iconic marina and Puget Sound view. Staff are always knowledgeable and accommodating. For me, the friendly staff makes it easy to return. They have a great menu and the food is always prepared and presented well. Anthony’s is reasonably priced and a good value. The tables are roomy and the ambiance is great for conversation.
