Antico Forno

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.

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).

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.

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.
