Schmap Boston 2007 Review: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; pizza, 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.

"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.
Salvatore Gaglio brings an Italian passion for simple, yet
flavor packed foods to his role as chef at Antico Forno.
Innovative and fresh describe his approach to the
Neapolitan
and Sicilian dining experience he creates.
