Love! We didn’t have a reservation but the team was incredibly accommodating despite a busy night. This was our last dinner while in town and we loved every sec of it - the focaccia to the wine!
I had pretty high expectations coming to Antico as I’d heard good things from friends but unfortunately, our experience was not the same. To start, our bottle of wine took over half an hour to bring out. We had to inquire with wait staff twice before our actual waiter came to explain that they were having trouble finding the wine. He did so very hurriedly and didn’t really apologize. We were actually served food before it even arrived, which sort of threw the whole meal off. The food itself was decent. The pistachio whipped ricotta was the best, but the crudo was just okay. The atmosphere wasn’t great — the music could’ve been better. Overall, the staff had no real concept of timeliness and seemed already checked out despite the fact that we had a reservation and there were still plenty of seated tables at the restaurant.

Valet available. Thought it was peculiar that it's right next to a Korean soup place. There is $50 corkage fee. Service was tentative - good amount of spread of stuff. Portion could be larger, you should get your own plates. I personally liked every dish I ordered. Perfect ambiance for a date night or with your friends! Overall they did a good job. You HAVE TO GET THE BREAD AND THE PISTACHIO ICE CREAM.

Truly wonderful from beginning to end. Such delicious food complimented by an attentive staff and beautiful ambiance. The restaurant is gorgeous. It’s inviting and open without being stuffy or cold. Everyone is smiling and enjoying themselves. I loved it. The papardelle and zucca were wonderful. The focaccia is out of this world as well.

Cool place, great food, excellent service! Highly recommend getting a reservation as the place was packed the entire evening. Great for special occasions, they will take care of you above and beyond typical service. We say at the chef’s table, I always recommend this, but this one in particular was one of the more interesting I’ve had the pleasure of sitting at in LA. Thank you for a great time!

Wow, absolutely delicious meal. The bread and summer specials were show stoppers in themselves. Summer tomates prepared like that and served to the masses would solve world hunger and stop wars. Fresh pastas and the ribs (dry rub, of course) were so flavorful. That pistachio ice cream is the best I’ve ever had (and Ive had my fair share). The place is intimate and low lit, if a tad warm, but great service and the perfect spot for a birthday celebration. Thanks for being a spot on my to try list that I’m only sad to cross off because it means I can’t experience it for the first time anymore. Will absolutely be back.
They have some amazing products and dishes but they put way too much finishing salt on most things. It’s also overpriced, they rush you out of the door and it’s not a warm atmosphere. It’s a shame it could be a great restaurant!
I had reservations for me and my husband at 7:45 for his birthday. We got there a lot earlier than expected (7:05), but we checked in anyways. The host was kind and welcoming and seated us right away. I noticed the restaurant's decor right away and it was stunning. Our waitress was helpful and friendly when we asked her about her recommendations and favorites from the menu. We ordered the whipped ricotta/pistachio pesto, tortelli with the lemon, and the roasted chicken. Everything was divine. My husband and I enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you again. :)

The restaurant looks great! Loved the decor and atmosphere. The waitress we had was terrific! Everyone was very accommodating. The menu was not too large. We found it quite expensive- we each had one glass of wine, I had an appetizer for my dinner, my husband had only a main course - no coffee, special water, etc we shared one gelato for dessert and the bill was. $ 170. It was expensive for w hat it was Plus the Menu choices were limits. Not sorry we went, but probably will not return.

We had a wonderful evening at Antico Nuevo. The service was great from seating to leaving! We had a wonderful table with a view of the entire restaurant and kitchen. We watched the chef peruse each order and finish each dish with exactitude. The service was attentive but not over-bearing. A perfect birthday dinner for two! Will be back highly recommended. Gail our server and staff were great! Thank you!

Genuinely one of the best meals I've had in Los Angeles this year. Everything was delicious, staff were very cordial and helpful, lighting was nice, the playlist (mostly downtempo jazz and instrumental) matched the atmosphere and energy of the room perfectly, wines were delicious — can't wait to go back ?

I was honestly blown away by how delicious the food here was. The focaccia is a must order--perhaps the best bread I have ever eaten. The food is quite expensive, however, all of the portions were much bigger than I expected and exceeded my and my boyfriend's expectations. Service was excellent, and the sommelier was extremely knowledgeable and helped us pick an excellent bottle for our anniversary dinner.
