This "old Venice" is new to West Street at West Tenth Street and comes complete with a fireplace and sunsets over New Jersey.

"The surprising thing about Antica Venezia is how tranquil it is. Even though it's situated in NYC's super trendy Meatpacking District and has such high-powered neighbors as Nicole Kidman, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Leonardo DiCaprio and Hugh Jackman, the hotspot has the elegant appearance of a classic restaurant in Venice. Adding to the feeling of dining in European canal is Antica Venezia's perfect location-it sits on the edge of the Hudson River and has spectacular views"

"In the mood for a delicious, old-fashioned Italian dinner in a romantic setting? Go west, young men, way west. Antica Venezia, on West 10th Street at the West Side Highway, is only five months old. But inside, the restaurant feels like it's been around forever"
