"If you need an Italian restaurant in LA, you can find pretty much anything on the dining spectrum, from red sauce landmarks and new school pasta bars to tourist traps with temperature-controlled rooms. Then there’s Antico Nuovo, an understated Ktown strip mall spot that doesn’t fall into any established category. Antico makes the best pasta in LA, and yet, the pasta might not even be the best thing on the menu. That award could go to the towering focaccia, juicy pork ribs, or pistachio ice cream we’d wait in a 45-minute line to eat. This place isn't the newest or most nostalgic or most glamorous Italian restaurant in town, but it is the best. " - brant cox, nikko duren, arden shore, sylvio martins
