Antico Forno is billed as “The Most Authentic Italian Restaurant,” and we’re hard-pressed to argue. This mainstay in Boston’s North End manages a cozy mom-and-pop atmosphere with world-class traditional cuisine. Entrees like Saltimbocca di Pollo and Linguine al Frutti di Mare hearken back to the old country, but Antico Forno is best known for its brick-oven pizzas piled high with house-made Italian sausages and mozzarella.
“No gimmicks, no kitsch”, just traditional Neapolitan pizzas from a wood-fired brick oven and other “spot-on” Southern Italian fare set apart this “well-priced” North End stalwart; the “lively”, “loud” space is an “everyday destination”, so “get there early” or “plan for a wait”.
