Antico

Antico in South Beach brings Italian dining to one of Miami's most internationally flavored neighborhoods, where the appetite for authentic pasta, wood-fired dishes, and Mediterranean conviviality never wanes. The name — Italian for old or ancient — suggests a respect for culinary tradition over modernist reinvention. Italian restaurants in South Beach range from quick-service pizza counters to white-tablecloth destination dining. Antico lands on the more traditional, sit-down side, the kind of place where the simplicity of good olive oil, fresh pasta, and unhurried service is the whole point. It suits couples, families, and anyone who wants a satisfying Italian meal without the theatrics of the beachfront restaurant row.
