First time we had Chef Colby’s food was at Scuola di Pizza at Mozza many years ago and so it was great to finally try out his “new” place Antico Nuovo https://www.anticonuovo-la.com in the Larchmont area in LA. As a solo diner it was really helpful to be able to order half portions of the pasta and ice creams to try out more dishes. Overall outstanding dishes which you don’t find on every menu, e.g. cheek and tongue ragu, fire roasted squab, veal sweetbread and of course the ice creams.
Kingfish crudo - lemon, shallot, chive
Pappardelle - beef cheek, veal tongue ragu bolognese
Foglie d’ulivo - fire roasted squab, olives, cracklings
Animelle di vitello - Veal sweetbreads, maitake, marsala jus
Pistachio crunch
Coconut caramel
