Traditional pasta & rustic, wood-fired meats in an elegant but laid-back setting.

Celebrating mom’s birthday here. We did not drink alcohol beverages much so we focused on food mainly. My most favorite dish was crab pasta with squash blossoms. It was refreshing and tasty. Roasted chicken and black cod was okay. I had a mixed feeling on focaccia and duck liver. The focaccia was very good but duck liver was mediocre for me. We got three items for dessert. Cannoli, pistachio ice cream, and pomegranate ice cream. Pistachio ice cream was legit. One of the best ice cream I have had so far. Crunchy pistachio and salty caramel paired very well with sweet creamy ice cream. Service was top notch. Overall, service was excellent but food was not as good as the service. Dessert was superb and scrumptious.

I really enjoyed my experience overall, the vibe is great and the staff are friendly. The food was good, especially the pasta, though some dishes were just okay. Nothing was bad, but a few items didn’t quite match the price point. This place has the potential to be excellent, so it’s still a nice spot to try, with a lot going for it.

Tucked in a nondescript strip mall in k-town this place has amazing pastas. The squab pasta was absolutely phenomenal – well balanced, creative, and perfectly cooked. Don’t forget the focaccia. The honeycomb ice cream is delicious and there’s a lot of it. Definitely enough for 3-4 people. Attentive service.

Got ripped off by their new years menu. They didn’t say what was included on OpenTable, when we arrived it was mainly just the regular menu items but coursed out with a flat fee for 2. The food was good but we paid over $400 with tax, mandatory 20% tip and 2 glasses of wine. When checking their regular menu pricing if we had just ordered the same items normally it should have cost us less than $300.
The only “special” item on the menu were the scallops which were abysmally small, the size of the nail on my little finger, completely chewy and uninspiring. They even made us add $10 to order it!
The portions on all of the items were as normal and on the small side, the only reason we left full was because they give you a large loaf of bread and the dessert is a lot of ice cream.
Overall the food and ambiance was great but the predatory pricing was just unacceptable.

So I’ve been wanting to go to this place for quite a while now heard a lot of great things about the place very hidden gym right next to a liquor store, but that only adds to the mystery. The chef super kind food was amazing top-tier ambience, amazing servers attention to detail very on top of it. Everybody, all in one of my best experiences I’ve had and some of the best food I’ve ever eaten, never been a fan of liver, but their duck liver is special. then to top it off not a huge dessert person. But their ice cream homemade made daily was amazing. I got the coconut caramel Jesus chefs kiss

Food is awesome, really enjoyed the duck liver with bread! Highly recommend the chicken and pistachio ice cream as well.
Worth the money! Ambience is fabulous and environment is so nice. Waiters are friendly and prompt, would recommend it without a doubt.

The food, service and ambiance were all equally amazing. We ordered: Focaccia and pate, Corn Triangoli, Plin, the Chicken, the mashed potatoes and bone marrow and Pistachio crunch Ice cream to finish. Truly decedent and amazing, from start to finish!

So much to say about Antico Nuovo, it really lives up to its reputation as one of the best, if not the best, Italian restaurants in the Los Angeles.
Every dish was phenomenal, from the focaccia, to the caesar salad (the best caesar salad ever perhaps?) and from the pastas to the mains. The half chicken was simply out of this world, the juice of which soaks into the focaccia it’s served on. It’s a must order. Each pasta tasted unique and wonderful as well.
The homemade ice cream is also a must order, my crazy family ordered every single flavor… they were all heavenly.
The wait staff were very nice and explained every dish to us. Overall we had a 10/10 experience here and I can’t wait to go back!

Loved the food here!
Didnt expect the food to be this incredible but we were surprised by how tasty everything was.
Their bread and butter to start was top notch and every dishes were was delicious. We especially loved the butter and their honey ice cream. Our waitress suggested we ordered a little bit too much so we were a little too full beyond we can handled.
Atmosphere was great! Really loved their soft lighting, making everything look warm and beautiful. Their restroom was also spacious and clean.
Valet available outside.

At Antico Nuovo, you can tell the level of care from the little things. Even the broccoli—a simple side dish—was charred to perfection. What really stood out was the professionalism of the chef. Before service, he personally tasted the sauces to ensure everything was right. Every pasta dish was assembled straight from the sizzling hot silver pan, plated with precision and care.
