Antico Forno

Antico Forno is definitely worth a visit if you’re in Boston. We ordered the Margherita pizza and the seafood pasta, which was finished in the oven, and both dishes were absolutely delicious. The pizza had a perfectly cooked crust with fresh, flavorful ingredients, and the seafood pasta was rich, fresh, and cooked perfectly.

The portions were very generous—we were so full that we didn’t even have room for dessert! Everything was excellent, and we’ll definitely be back to try more dishes from the menu. Highly recommended!

Overall it was a nice dinner, but the pizzas were slightly burned and the service was mediocre at best. The waitress kept urging us to order and then to pay as fast as possible. We were in 5 people, ordered several times and ate a lot, so it takes some time. There were some more items on the menu that peaked my interest, but after this first experience I’m not coming back. The best dish was by far the shrimp lobster ravioli, (even if the pasta was a bit hard and under cooked).

I was intrigued by the pistachio and sausage pizza (Pistaccio E Salsiccia) The bartender said it was the only thing he orders here and now I know why. Amazing flavor. The pistachio was subtle and blended well with the sausage. Delicious and a must try if ever in Boston.

Very popular place so I was warned about a wait. I went to the bar and skipped the wait.

We had to try all the vegan options here. They have vegan cheese you can substitute on many items. We got the Polpette vegan meatballs which were great. It came with a salad. We ordered a veggie pizza you can choose vegan cheese. We got the fussili with roasted veggies eggplant and zucchini with tomato sauce. We added the vegan cheese. We also ordered the broccolini with olive oil and garlic which was delicious. The service was friendly and quick. We came on a weekday at around 5:30 and we were able to get seated right away. I would make a reservation for bigger parties and weekends. Great Italian food with Vegan options available.

By far one of the best meals i’ve had in not only the North End but the rest of Boston! Service was incredible. Wish I caught the waiter’s name but he was wonderful. We had the Frutti Di Mare seafood pasta and it was genuinely so delicious, as well as the Vesuvio pizza. What an amazing place to visit on our first night back in Boston. (Also may I add the atmosphere in there on a Thursday night was awesome).
