位於Silver Lake​的優質義式​餐廳

A perfect anniversary dinner. Every dish had no notes. The bread was toasted perfectly. Our server was outstanding, approachable and attentive. We even got a little happy anniversary card on the table as well as a couple of gifted glasses of bubbly. Realizing that this is my favorite restaurant in LA.

Our experience tonight, even more than other nights, was excellent. The service was phenomenal and the food was great.

The food and our server were superb. But the prices were steep. The kingfish carpaccio was bright and refreshing. The focaccia was fluffy, with just the right amount of salt and olive oil. Lemony tortelli reminded us of pasta on the Amalfi Coast. However, at $50 (or, possibly, even more), the delicious lamb shank came plated with nothing else. The fagiole e pane (beans and bread) were creamy good, but $15 for a side of beans? The ambiance is paradoxically rustic but elegant. The dining room calls to mind farm tables in a villa somewhere in the Tuscan countryside. Vintage pots and pans hang on the walls. Potted olive trees provide simple greenery. The sight of the wood-burning oven in the open kitchen warms the space if only by suggestion. The only wrong note is the background music, which seems unnecessary, especially when the house is full and the din makes conversation difficult. This was a celebratory meal, so we were prepared to pay more than we do on our usual dinners out. But just in case the restaurant reads these reviews, we hope it will consider this: If menu prices were a tad lower, we'd gladly dine at Antico Nuovo regularly instead of only on special occasions. In other words, more frequent visits could be a win-win situation.

The place is amazing even on a Monday night, would get there early. The wine selection is great and the food is super delicious.

Everyone was very kind, attentive, and friendly during our Thanksgiving Lunch! I really appreciated the attentive service and was very happy with the experience, the food, and the staff! Everyone was exceptional & welcoming.
