Tony's on the Pier - Classic Italian Style Restaurant with Ocean Views

Old Tony’s on the Pier is a classic Southern California spot with a warm, nostalgic atmosphere that never disappoints. The view alone makes it worth the visit—you’re literally sitting right over the water, watching the waves roll in while the sun sets behind the boats. The wait staff was incredibly friendly and attentive from the moment we arrived. Our server made sure drinks were always full and that we had everything we needed. I brought my father here for his birthday, and the staff made it special with a surprise dessert and a genuine smile. The in-house photographer was also polite and professional, capturing a great photo we’ll keep as a memory. The food was fresh and flavorful—the seafood was cooked perfectly, and the clam chowder was excellent. Inside, the place has a relaxed 1960s–1970s vibe with signed celebrity photos on the walls, giving it that timeless pier charm. It’s a little tight inside and the restrooms are small, but that adds to the old-school character. Overall, Old Tony’s is a great value for the price and a perfect place for celebrations, date nights, or simply enjoying a classic Redondo Beach experience.

Amazing views. Right on the water. Food wasn’t great but what you would expect from a restaurant on the pier. I got the fried oysters. I needed to add salt and some hot sauce. I would definitely go back next time I’m in town.

We didn't use the bathroom, but everything seemed clean. The service was swift, attentive, and pleasant. The chowder was kinda warm, not as tasty as I hoped for, and I would probably skip it next time. The oysters were perfect! The fish and chips were just how my wife likes them, and the fries were hot and fresh. The view is priceless. Thank you.

Can't go wrong with this place! The view can't be beat and the drinks are strong. They used to let you keep the glass when you order a fire chief, but maybe they were just out when we went because they didn't have that option on our visit. The bartender was super busy and barely paid attention to us but we weren't there for the service. Sit back, relax and listen to the live music.

A throwback with a great history and pretty darn good food. The views alone make it worth dropping in. And I'd ask for Rick. He knows where the bodies are buried AND how to tell a good story. Dinner and entertainment in one.

Food was great! We got two lobster tails and a steak ,oysters and clam chowder. Only thing I would skip next time is the clam chowder. Our waiter was super cool. I loved it's vintage look and atmosphere.

Great atmosphere with the fireplace and ocean view it feels very special. Good value for food. With each main dish you get a soup and a salad. After dinner coffe by the fireplace is our favorite part of experience.

Great restaurant/watering hole nestled in the pier. I've spent many nights up in their small bar/observation deck. The crowd is always nice and atmosphere chill. Always a stop for me when I'm in town.
