"We were in Boston this past weekend and had
the most amazing lunch at your restaurant on
Sunday! We are still thinking of the meal we had
and can't wait to come back to Boston to eat
there again! My husband had the chicken parm
special over linguini and it melted in your
mouth. The sauce was amazing - do you have a
site w/ any recipes?? I would love to have the
recipe for that sauce! It was so addictive! And
the bread was delicious too! I had the Linguine
Con Vongole and it hit the spot! Thanks for a
wonderful meal - we LOVE your restaurant!"

"Antico Forno is a gem! Food,
service, atmosphere, value are all excellent. I
drive down from Vermont for a taste of Italian
heaven."

"Antico Forno is a jewel in the
center of the North End. Every time my sister
flies in from Washington DC, we head right for
Salem Street and our favorite restaurant. We are
always greeted with warmth, and the entire menu
selection is perfect. The Tuscan bread and
spiced olives are fabulous starters, and any
choice from the menu is a winner. Thank you for
such a lovely place to feel like Italy."

Sawdust-covered floors, a
mural-sized rendition of the Tuscany countryside (painted by a local artist
Jack Dunlea) and a blessed statue of St. Rocco tucked into a beehive-shaped,
wood-burning brick oven set the stage at the North End's rustic trattoria,
Antico Forno. With Their successful 1993 flagship restaurant,
Terramia, across the street, Carla Agrippino-Gomes took on a new
challenge in 1996 of bringing dishes to Salem Street. Antico Forno -
Italian for "old stove" -
features brick-oven classics such as roasted
chicken in a natural juices with garlic and herbs stuffed under crusted
skin; pizza with artichoke hearts, imported Italian porcini mushrooms, and Campania buffalo mozzarella, finished with truffle oil; and linguini with
clams, mussels, calamari and shrimp, sautéed in a plum tomato sauce and
baked in parchment paper. Even the double-domed brick oven was custom-built
by a native Napolitan craftsman.
Antico Forno is an
inviting neighborhood trattoria that provides a truly authentic Neapolitan
experience.
