"Between the warm lighting, wood furnishings, and olive trees towering above the dining room, Antico Nuovo is the perfect place to take yourself on a date and finally read that think piece about the lifecycle of skinny jeans you’ve had bookmarked. The bar seating offers a great view of the kitchen, and they’ve got a menu of simple yet extraordinary housemade pasta. Order the lemony tortelli stuffed with ricotta and end with a cup of their freshly spun ice cream, which comes in flavors like pistachio crunch or honeycomb." - jess basser sanders, sylvio martins
