Two inexpensive, semi-chowish places that tend to come up frequently here are Giacomo’s and Antico Forno. Both are primarily Southern Italian, with a few Northern dishes thrown in. Giacomo’s doesn’t take...

hello, bittman had battali on again with him in roma, they had bianca pizza for breakfast, were they in Antico Forno Marco Roscioli , campo di fiore/rome ? thanks

Heading into the North End for an early dinner with two young children (2 1/2 and 17 months). Thinking about Antico Forno. Any other family friendly spots? TIA!

Which do you think would provide the most pleasant or welcoming atmosphere for a solo diner: Sage, Mamma Maria, or Antico Forno? Any better suggestions? Thanks-

I passed by Euno on my way to Antico Forno (which was fabulous) the other night and it looked like it had a great atmosphere. How is the food? What are they prices like? Thanks.

Antico Forno - 1st block of Salem St.

Looking for good and moderately priced place for party of 5. Recently went to Euno and was unimpressed. Thinking about Strega, Massimino’s or Antico Forno. Any comments on these or suggestions for something else? Grazie!

Antico Forno on Salem. You can make reservations andit is wonderful. The calamari was the best I ever had. The pasta is fresh and the pizza is delicous.

I’d say Mamma Maria would be a great choice. It’s a bit expensive, so if you want something less $$$ then Antico Forno. Not sure of their wine list though.

They had pretty good stuff also specially the chocolate and bacio. Rivoire Great hot chocolate and good cappucuino. Antico forno Santi Great selection of biscotti with whole fruit or chocolate. We still have a few pieces left. Carabe...

it down to Antico Forno, Lucia, Fiore and Artu. Heard mixed comments on Artu, but their RW lunch menu looks good. Any suggestions?

I asked this same question in January and Chowhounds recommended Antico Forno on Salem Street and it was awesome! Thanks Chowhounds! My family had the time of their lives (they don’t get out much).

Give Antico Forno on Salem Street a shot. their brick-oven pizzas are excellent. Cibo on Hanover Street is also inexpensive, and they have a variety of pasta dishes.

I am a visitor from Canada looking for good Italian food. Got some great options such as Grotto, Pomodoro, Antico Forno, Taranta. What about Giacomo’s? I look at the menu – the price is very reasonable.

Antico Forno, Piccolo Nido or Piccolo Venezia. All three of these places sound interesting but my family and I can only visit one on this trip. Which do you think we should try? Looking for someplace casual with good food at a...
