   The ambiance is fantastic, with dimmed lighting and rustic furniture creating a cozy vibe. The menu is thoughtfully curated, offering a variety of great options. We started with a glass of Albariño and the crudo (it came first). The Albariño from Galicia was a lovely choice. As for the crudo, it was absolutely perfect. The flavors were spot on and set the tone beautifully for the rest of the meal. Then, the focaccia paired with Whipped Ricotta and Pistachio Pesto—absolutely divine and a must-try! The dishes are perfect for sharing family-style. The pasta was excellent, and the fish was perfectly prepared. But the highlight of the meal was THE SEADA! I was about to order the recommended Pistachio Crunch when I spotted my all-time favorite dessert on the menu. Seadas?! Incredible! Thank you for this delightful surprise—my Sardinian heart was overjoyed!

   Antico is the best! It’s my favorite restaurant for the incredible food and wine list. Each time the somm picks fantastic wine that’s always new. The dishes are always stellar and the people and atmosphere make it a great place to keep coming back to

   Service was impeccable. Accommodating, friendly, professional, fun! Food was good, pasta was served slightly cool instead of warm, overall 4/5

   This tucked away gem continues to delight and amaze each time. The service is gently fabulous. Recommendations from the servers are always perfect. We have never been disappointed with anything coming from the kitchen, it’s consistently outstanding. The wine suggestions never fail. We look forward to working our way through everything on the menu. It’s always a lovely evening.

   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 focaccia with the duck liver pate, beef cheek pappardelle and focaccia ice cream (yes, seriously) are all musts.
