The simplicity of it, the freshness of it, the quality of ingredients that you get to work with.” They specialize in that quintessential Italian comfort food – pizza. “I think it’s great that the city of Boston is turning around and starting to become known for pizza like the other big cities in the country,” he said. “It is such a simple food but it all comes down to the quality of ingredients.” It’s all done out of an open kitchen where the star of the show is Molinari’s wood burning oven.

This was our first visit to the restaurant, but it won’t be our last! The food was great. We loved the vibe and the service was fantastic!!! We highly recommend the Suya beef appetizer and the very spicy plantains (can’t remember the name of the dish). Great wine and cocktails! There’s nothing wrong with this restaurant (though I a bit more salt on the short ribs would have been good) and we understand why it’s so difficult to get a reservation. But we’ll keep trying to get there again.

Loved it! The food was great. The vibe is fun and casual. It is loud, so if you are looking for a quiet conversational dinner this is not the place. Live music starts nightly at 9pm.

We dine here often and with good reason. The consistency for all the categories you ask about on the survey are always over the top. The staff, the venue, the FOOD and the prices are all great. This owner has other restaurants in the area and it is the same experience at any of them when we visit. So if you’re local - stay local and try this gem. And if you’re not local - it is worth a trip!
