Our server was amazing I can’t remember his name but he was so helpful. I normally drink sauv blanc and they didn’t have one and he knew exactly which wines I’d love in comparison. He chose our pizza. It was fabulously delicious.

Antico Nuevo was great! I can’t believe that this was our first time going there. We had the foccacia bread with duck pate, the broccolini caesar salad, triangle pasta with sweet corn, and pistachio ice cream. Everything was delicious.

An absolutely incredible experience. Amazing food, watching the staff work and handle our food and even utensils with care was just so well executed. Every course was memorable and the pairing was perfect. We can’t wait to revisit and see what the Chef will come up with next.

I have always enjoyed the environment, service and food at AOC. I was especially impressed with how they handled a very serious food allergy letting us know every step along the way that they were careful and considering the issue. The manager approached us at the outset and described how they would work to ensure the best outcome. Thank you again..

This was our first visit to the Los Angeles location and we absolutely loved it. The vibe and ambience are great and it is located in LA's arts district. We also love the Chicago location. The menus have a few common dishes but overall everything we had at both locations was phenomenal. Service was impeccable. The LA location is now our favorite restaurant and worth the drive from Orange County. The brown butter washed old fashioned is a must try and the goat empanadas and chickpea fritters were perfect starters. All dishes are meant to be shared. We also enjoyed their raw tuna dish as well as the Korean style short ribs. Our favorite entree was the roasted sticky glazed pork shank that just fell off the bone. Served with 2 accompanying salads and lettuce leaves....it was a perfect DIY lettuce wrap. The mango sticky rice dessert is an absolute must to finish off the meal.
