"Six of us had dinner Saturday night and it
was fabulous. Table requested was ready. Service
was fantastic...ask your server for wine
suggestions; her recommendation was terrific and
very reasonably priced. We all got different
entrees and everyone raved. They were very busy
as it was marathon weekend but we never felt
rushed. We will be back."
Ellen Depelteau, Monday April 16, 2007
"A well-prepared selection of rustic dishes: brick-oven pizzas, roasted vegetables, entrees in terra cotta pots, and good bread and olives. Good place for a date and a bottle of red."
"Antico Forno gets the nod for incorporating a red-sauce joint's most salient features - cozy vibe, hearty portions - into an otherwise upscale big picture. The piatti con rigatoni, in particular, are as good as you'll find anywhere in town, at any price."
"My
husband
and I
stumbled
across
your
restaurant
6 years
ago when
we were
walking
through
Boston
and had
a
wonderful
meal. It
was so
memorable
that
when we
came
back to
Boston,
we
decided
to try
and find
you
again.
Much to
our
delight,
not only
did we
find you
again,
the food
was as
excellent
as I
remember.
Thank
you"

Welcome to
Antico Forno! |
|

-Your
website is presented very well. It is
informative and interesting. Your food looks
amazing. I think your menu caters to all diets.
Got your link from an article about Boston's
best pizza and a short, favorable review by
Devra First, Boston Globe.com I live in the
Hudson Valley of NY State. Hope to eat at the
restaurant some day.
-Carla, I had dinner at Antico Forno a few
weeks back and I continue to get the same overwhelming
welcome that I got the first time I was there. The new bar
area is beautiful-but I still love my cozy little spot near
the brick oven! Today I called Dana to make a reservation on
June 9th for a group (12 people) from our corporate office
in New York. I was thrilled to learn both she and Ovi will
be working that night. They are the best team in the
business. Thanks so much!! Joanie

-Carla, we had a such a wonderful dinner at
Antico Forno
on Sunday evening. Thank you so very much
for going to the trouble of getting us a table
at
8:30, on the eve of your vacation! Deb
Armstrong said that we would find
delicious food and fuel for our two
Marathon runners at your restaurant, and we
certainly did (photo attached!). One of our
son’s friends joined us and promptly pronounced
that your was his favorite restaurant in the
North End. We all second that.
Gratefully,
Pembroke Kyle

"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!"

"This afternoon my family enjoyed
an early dinner at your restaurant before
sending our son off to the UK for four months.
The food was delicious and the service great;
thank you for a very special meal!"

"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.

Our
Customers:
"This is a wonderful, small
restaurant with great food.
It feels like an Italian
trattoria. The house wine is
good and the servings
generous. The wonderful
luncheon choices are the
grilled chicken sandwich and
the lamb sandwich. The
grilled chicken sandwich
contains perfectly grilled
chicken, roasted red
peppers, fresh mozzarella
and tomato. The sandwich is
large and the bread is also
grilled. It comes with a
light lemon and oil-dressed
salad."
