Antico Forno

I came to this place on a food tour and loved it. I decided to come back with a friend to get what i actually wanted to try. The food of course was SO yummy and delicious. Wine…yumm. When it comes to customer service, terrible. The hostess was the kindest person there.

Our server never introduced herself just walked up and asked us what we wanted. Then we had the wine menu out and a friend had her plate on the menu. A random server walks by, scoots her plate off, dust of a minimal amount of crumbs if there were any, because I didn’t see any, and walks away. Never says anything just looked at us with disgust. Very rude and i understand we should have moved our plate off, but to not even say “hey would you mind not having the plate on the menu” just so rude. Then we wanted wine, but guess what we couldn’t even remember the names of the wine we wanted because that random server took the menu. Overall I would come to get food again, but probably never sit in because of how the experience was.

We came here on a Friday night and ate at the bar. The Iranian server(forgot his name) at the bar was amazing and super friendly. We got the Pistachio Pizza, the Tradizionale pizza, the Carbonara and Tiramisu dessert. The pizzas were out of this world and we highly recommend either of them. Their homemade sausage was 12/10. The Carbonara was one of the best I've had in the North End. The atmosphere was extremely lively and the food service was quick. Definitely visit if you're in the area. Make reservations if you want to sit at a table especially for Fridays.

Our second time to Boston (my bf and I) and this time we had my parents along. We are always looking for a meal in the North End and this did not disappoint. We shared the calamari appetizer and it was so light and crisp!

Our meals were the Parmigiana De Pollo (Chicken Parm), Fettuccine Positano (shrimp/scallop), Parmigiana Del Vitello (Veal Parm) and Fusilli De Tegamino (Vegetarian). Generous portions, piping hot food and well-priced option. Wine selection was a wide variety. We ordered glasses of their Montepulciano D'Abruzzo and it paired well with our meals. We did not try the wood-fired pizza, but would be willing to bet it is delicious based on seeing the order for the table next to us. We made a reservation and would recommend it.

This was my far our favorite Italian place during our trip to Boston! The food tastes, homemade, the service was top-notch, and they even got us in with little to no weight. The pizza and spaghetti and meatballs were amazing! Can’t wait for the next opportunity to go back again.

Our server Exenover V was friendly and knowledgeable. The staff was great and worked well together. My wife and I shared a margarita pizza that was delicious. We finished with the Tiramisu, and it was amazing. I strongly reccomend Antico Forno!
It was a tad loud, but not enough that you shouldn’t enjoy what they offer.
