Koreatown, Los Angeles · restaurant
Antico Nuovo feels built around the hearth. Live fire, copper pans, and pasta coming together in plain view. The room stays warm and focused, with long tables and a tight menu that doesn’t wander. Start with the thick focaccia and whipped ricotta, then follow wherever the kitchen’s leaning that night. And don’t skip the pistachio gelato on the way out.
Dense house-made pistachio gelato — great as a to-go order too!
House-made pappardelle with beef cheek and veal tongue ragu — best pasta in LA
4-inch focaccia with whipped ricotta and pistachio pesto — mandatory starter
