Antico Forno

About this business
The atmosphere at this North End establishment will transport you to Italy and the food will delight as well. Antico Forno is aptly named, meaning "old stove" in Italian. It translates to top-notch food—pizzas, oven-roasted chicken, grilled vegetables and cheese with olive oil, wood-grilled swordfish and plenty of pasta selections. Their gnocchi is excellent, which really says something considering this section of the city offers the best in Italian cuisine.

Easily the best in Boston. – Ate here last weekend and almost fell asleep in my chair after eating the gnocci. It's literally that tasty that you feel like you're at home on your couch afterwards, just hanging out and relaxing. The pizza is unbelievable too. The setting was awesome, kind of like rustic italy and the north end had a baby. Totally awesome north end spot to check out. It's on Salem too so you're not sitting on top of eachother like Hanover St. restaurants.
My opinion – Antico Forno has the bes food and pizza in the North end! Their service is also top notch. I recommend this restaurant to lots of people here in NY and they also lve it!
Delicious Italian Food! – With so many restaurants in the North End offering an authentic Italian experience, it is hard to pick, but I definitely recommend Antico Forno. I went recently for a friend's birthday and had a wonderful time. The service was great, the appetizers, meals; all-around a great time. We had a large group, so made a reservation, which I highly recommend doing. Even though it is a large place, the restaurant and bar is packed on a Saturday night. We ordered wine, calamari, salad, pizzas, and some ordered... read more
Try the tiramisu I first ate here a few years ago when it was a tiny one-room restaurant, but it has since expanded. I was worried it would have lost some of its charm in a larger restaurant, but the new place didn't disappoint! Great tiramisu.
Cozy restaurant Great place in the North End. Especially in the dead of winter. Restaurant is cozy inside and all the meals are great comfort foods. Everyone we have brought there loves it...
Mortifying Experience – Woah! What a horrible dining experience!!! I have never written a review on a restaurant, but tonight I feel inspired. North End on a Saturday night is very busy so we found one restaurant with no wait....no wonder! Initially, we were happy they seated us right away. Too bad the table was put there as a mere afterthought....between the bar (which doubled as a waiting room), kitchen, and the restroom. Between hungry customers, drinking patrons, waiters with dirty dishes, people in a rush to the bathroo... read more
Bad Italian American food – I was expecting authentic Italian food, got bad Italian-American food instead. I'm sorry to see a wood-burning stove wasted in such bad pizza. The risotto was even worse. On the plus side the place was packed and everyone else was enjoying their meal. Every other restaurant in the North End area was packed as well. Very nice area to walk. When I go back to Boston I'll stick to clam chowders and the like.
Our New Favorite North End Eatery – Four of us visited on Sat. of marathon weekend. Boston was CRAZY that day. Arrived just about 5:00PM . No wait. Cordial staff. Water and bread brought immediately.( just white loaf bread but there was a cheese dipping sauce instead of olive oil that was tasty). Wine list was reasonable. Ordered Calamari and Caprese. Calamari was breaded lightly, tender and plentiful. Mozzarella was fresh and tomatoes jumbo but soft. Rigatoni Alla Boscaiola, Rigatoni Salsiccia e Ricotta, Chicken Parm, and M... read more
