Reasonably priced gourmet Italian cuisine, prepared in traditional brick-oven style.

In Short
Most everything on the rustic menu is cooked in a burning brick oven, as the restaurant's name implies (antico forno means ''old oven''). The diminutive dining room hosts a mix of loyal locals and tourists, and can get quite noisy when full. Thin-crust pizzas (toppings include homemade sausage, imported buffalo mozzarella and sautéed shrimp) and baked pasta dishes emerge from the oven piping hot. Fresh salads, wood-grilled seafood and homemade pastas round out the menu.
