This restaurant was recommended by the hotel concierge and whereas the food was pretty good, I had seafood with linguine pasta and my wife the clams with linguine, the service was mediocre. This definately is not a happy ship. Yes, we were served with what we ordered, but not a smile in sight from any of the staff, it ended... more

I made a reservation two weeks in advance for my family of 6 and arrived approximately 10 minutes early. When we got there, we were told it would be another 10 minutes before we were sat, so we sat in some chairs they provide outside the place. About 15 minutes later they came out and told us they had a... more

On our recent trip to Boston, we were walking through the North End and came across Antico Forno. We had lunch there - it was a Sunday, so they served their dinner menu. My husband had the chicken parmigiano special and it was covered with the most amazing tomato sauce we've ever had! I had the Linguine w/ Clams and... more

Skip the tourist-sucking holes on Hanover and check this place out! They have more than the usual red sauce offerings and everything tastes extra-special-good because they cook it all in the brick oven. more

We were looking for the true Italian experience and thought that this place definitely 'looked' the part. Food was just "okay" - bread was not warm and their dipping sauce was nothing to write home about (we would have preferred just olive oil and garlic instead). We went with a group of people who all thought their meals were good... more
