"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"

- Cheers! Our
first vacation of the year was
a delightful toast to the unforgettable year
ahead. Mark and I had so much fun and we were
only in Boston a total of about 24 hours...
 At
lunchtime, we headed over to Boston's North
End. Mark and I savored one of the best pizza's
I have ever had at a restaurant called Antico
Forno, Cucina A Legna. We shared Involtini Di
Melanzane; rolled eggplant stuffed with ricotta
cheese and basil, baked in brick oven with plum
tomato sauce and parmigiano cheese, woof!
-Just wanted to say what a
fantastic dinner my wife and our
 friends had at
you restaurant. The food was excellent and Sarah
our waitress was great. Very pleasant and
comfortable atmosphere. I had the Veal and my
wife the roasted chicken. Your tiramisu was the
best I ever had. A permanent must stop anytime
we are in Boston.

We had a wonderful
lunch at Antico Forno yesterday...first time
visitors. I just wanted to tell you everything
was
 great...especially the mussels... We come
from Maine where we know our mussels!
Everything...the pizza, the bread, the pasta,
the service, the whole experience was a 10.
Thank you!
-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.
-I've been going to the North End for years
and always love trying new places since they are all so
good... but I think the other restaurants have met their
champ. I had one of the most memorable meals and even though
I was just there 4 days ago, I'm taking my husband tomorrow
night. I have definitely found "my new spot" to dine. Loved
the food, loved the service (Dana) was friendly and
informative. When we met the owner (Carla) she treated you
like family. The atmosphere is amazing - loved the brick and
the lighting, just a wonderful experience full circle.
Thanks!! Jennifer Casey

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. A ntico 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."
