Forno Antico Pizza Napolitana — Restaurant in Collegeville

We will not be coming here again and paying $20 for subpar food. We came in, the hostess said two words to us, very stand offish. The decor was shabby and démodé; as well as the inner-structure was dilapidated. For the price we were paying I expected more professionalism and not a cheap Italian atmosphere. I was glad not to see a thousand items on the menu, so I was expecting what classic Italian dishes they did have would be piquant. I got the Lasagna, it was bland, the bottom was overcooked and dried up. I could barely saw off a piece, this is a tell-tale sign that this was frozen and heated up to serve. The tomato sauce was flavorful but weak and watery. The mozzarella on top was fine but there were no fresh herbs as was described on the menu. There were chunks of meat that tasted ok. But again I’m not paying $20 for a frozen dinner. Overall it was very mediocre. Not sure how they are keeping up with competition as Italian restaurants are common and there are many superior businesses. I think I would have enjoyed myself better at a chain Olive Garden. This seems like a good pizza joint from the other reviews but there are probably better and definitely cheaper pizza places that specialize just for pizza. I would not recommend, there are so many other Italian restaurants that you can prospect. It is a waste of money...

I had wanted to visit this restaurant since an outstanding review on CBS local news, about 1 month ago! My friend & I met there on Wednesday evening at 6pm. There was 1 occupied table & the lone waitress seated us in the middle of the room at one of the smallest tables available. We ordered the 2 special appetizers... the eggplant rollatini was hot & done perfectly, however, the mozzarella dish was luke warm bland. We shared an entree, the veal special... The veal was breaded & it was a 'chewy' piece of veal that I would have expected in a corner deli, that didn't advertise as authentic, homemade Italian specialities. It was accompanied with a small serving of, less than al dente, penne pasta. The best part of the meal was the dessert, limoncello mascarpone cake. It was an excellent choice! One last note..... we asked for a refill of water & the waitress, who had been a little bothered by our presence, asked if we wanted a half or full glass of water???? We wondered if she was rationing it? The price was much higher than it was worth. I rate this restaurant at a one. I will NEVER return & I will let...

Last night my parents, brother and husband found this very authentic Italian restaurant. We are all spoiled when it comes to food because we are all from Italy and travel there 2 times a year. We didn’t know what to expect, but we were blown away by the quality of food. Never have we eaten pizza in America that tastes like you are in Naples Italy. So authentic, thin and Fresh with tomato sauce and soft mozzarella. They have a wood fired oven and the ingredients imported from italy. The pizza’s are exceptional! You will not have a better pizza anywhere. You can eat a whole pizza and not feel stuffed because they are light. I had bronzino and fettuccini with lemon very light and I felt I was in Italy. The freshness and flavor of the food stand out. My mother had egg plant parmigiana and it soft and tender and so good. The appetizers - burrata was delicious with prosciutto and calamari tender and light. Excellent service and very welcoming. Sebastian and his Father Ciro were so nice and we had a great night out. Plus this is a BYOB which is...
