The Inspiring Story Behind Maddalena Restaurant

Founded in 1974, Maddalena Restaurant represents a heartfelt extension of San Antonio Winery’s rich family legacy, brought to life through the incredible vision of our matriarch, Maddalena Riboli. Born in the prestigious wine region of Piedmont, Italy, in 1922, Maddalena immigrated to America in 1929 at just seven years old, carrying with her the authentic culinary traditions of her homeland.

After marrying Stefano Riboli in 1946, Maddalena became an essential driving force behind the winery’s expansion and success. She championed the revolutionary idea of pairing fine California wines with authentic, home-style Italian cuisine, creating Los Angeles’ first true winery restaurant experience. Her vision transformed San Antonio Winery from a simple wine producer into a complete culinary destination.

Bringing her mother’s culinary vision to the next generation, Cathy Riboli-Colombatti, Maddalena’s daughter, played a vital role in developing and expanding the restaurant and hospitality division. Cathy helped bring her mother’s passion and beloved recipes to life, ensuring that guests not only enjoy a meal but experience the warmth and heritage of the Riboli family.

Together, Maddalena and Cathy created more than just a restaurant—they built a destination where family, food, and wine come together. Today, the Maddalena Restaurant remains a cherished part of the San Antonio Winery. A cultural and historical landmark in LA where guests are invited to share in the family’s tradition of hospitality, Italian cooking, and award-winning wines.
