Antico Forno Description:
As the name suggests, a wood-burning oven is the focal point of this casual Salem Street spot: everything, be it pizza, pasta or meat, is cooked in a beautiful beehive brick forno (oven). We can't say we're complaining. Thin-crusted pies are topped with homemade sausage, imported mozzarella and a light, tangy plum tomato sauce, among other things; smoky and crispy, they are some of the city's best. Oven-finished pastas involving the same signature sausage and rich soft cheeses like mascarpone and ricotta are equally memorable, while simple secondi such as saltimbocca and grilled pork chops with vinegar peppers are comme il faut (or the Italian equivalent thereof). Yet while the quality bespeaks alta cucina, the prices are more in line with red sauce fare; the upshot is serious bang for your buck.
