Antico Forno

The wife was craving some Italian food, so we decided to give this place a shot, and boy I'm glad we did! I ordered a nice old-fashioned, and it was good. The drink was really sweet, which I certainly didn't mind at all. I felt great after a few sips, so I knew that the bartender and I was good friends already. Next, I got the pizza. I made my own with mozzarella cheese, and added pepperoni and sausage. It was so delicious that I ate the entire pizza with no hesitation! My only complaint is that the pizza was a bit slimy and this establishment does not serve ranch, which is weird. The service was good too, which is highly unusual. Needless to say, the waiter had experience and I loved that she had a personality. Overall, the food was pretty delicious and I would recommend this restaurant.

Tried this Italian spot in the North End and the food was really good, big portions and very tasty. The only downside was how noisy it was inside, and our server wasn’t very attentive. Great place if you’re just there for the food, but don’t expect much from the service or the atmosphere.

My sister and I love Italian food so we went to this place. TWICE! The pasta is great and the portions are just right. The lobster ravioli was the best, I didn’t like the ricotta but that me and cheese but the lobster amazing. Pasta was perfect, calamari was delicious. No issues if you’re in Boston this place the place to go for dinner. The vibe is like a goodfella family restaurant. It’s super cool

We came across Antico Forno during a North End Food Tour with Bobby. It was absolutely delicious and the service was remarkable! The Neapolitan pizza was superb! I'm still thinking about it (and I don't love pizza) after returning home from my trip. The pasta was a perfect al dente! Just all so good!

We came in on Sunday night. It was very busy and is clearly a popular spot. That said, our experience was abysmal. Upon arriving we sat for 20 minutes until we had to ask a busboy if we had a server. She finally showed up and we quickly ordered calamari, spaghetti pomodoro and a pizza.

The calamari came out relatively quickly but it was downhill from there. The food took 50 minutes to come out, and once it did, it was extremely disappointing. The $24 spaghetti was literally swimming in overly sweet sauce. They might as well crack open a can of chef boyardee and dump it in the bowl. The pasta was soggy and swimming in sauce. The pizza was also soggy and impossible to eat because it had way too much ricotta.

We ate half the meal and got the check as quickly as possible. The restaurant is extremely loud and between the service, the food and the noise, we were desperate to leave.
