Good Italian is hard to come by in this city. But there is one that we absolutely love.
Antica Locanda
has been around for five years now, and has become sort of our classic
Italian getaway in the city. It’s a mix of chic, classy, warm and
upscale, with food that is always bursting with flavor. This wonderful
Arnavutköy venue is owned by Italian Chef Gian Carlo Talerico and his
Turkish wife Beldan Erkkul. The food is typical Italian, but includes
specialties from all around the country, with a menu that offers a fair
mix of pastas, pizzas, salads, and mains, and changes seasonally. Best
way to enjoy the restaurant? Go with your family and order to share.
And make sure you reserve the tiny outdoor seating area in the
back, overlooking the garden of the church next door. You really can’t
find a more peaceful and quiet spot than this in the city!
