Antico Nuovo - Los Angeles

I consistently have a great experience at this restaurant. The pasta is amazing—creative and delicious. The service is also excellent.

It was our second visit, and we are definitely becoming regulars, despite the 45-minute drive. It’s absolutely worth it. The food was delicious: the focaccia was amazing, the duck liver pâté was superb, and the broccoli chicory Caesar salad was distinct and masterfully crafted. The selection of pastas has slightly changed since our last visit due to seasonal ingredients. My favorites were the Piccola Luna sweet corn with chanterelles and the Tortelli with ricotta and pine nuts. The pluot ice cream was delicious—light and not overly sweet—I think I might be addicted, but I suspect it's also seasonal. I was skeptical about the Secondi, but the menu for Secondi Piatti looked impressive. Each section of the menu offers variety and balance. The interior is minimal, serene, and authentic, with perfect lighting and moderate sound. The service was highly professional, friendly, and warm. Overall, it was a perfect experience.

Absolutely exceptional, as always. I especially enjoyed the green semolina pasta shaped like leaves paired with the squab. Be prepared to share everything! And don’t miss out on the cannoli – they’re incredible!

This was our second time their and first time for the other couple we brought. It was fantastic from the service to the food and of course the wine!

Food was prompt, staff was friendly and helpful. No complaints! It was overall delivered as an experience and I appreciated all the little things.
