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.

    I almost never write reviews, but there is a reason you have to book weeks in advance for a table here. Everything was incredible from the moment we walked in. The staff were welcoming, incredibly kind and knowledgeable, and the food and drinks were divine. We had the pleasure of having Maria assist us - thank you Maria for a wonderful evening! We LOVED the fresh catch in the tomato broth with some bread to dip - oh my goodness, delicious - it was our absolute favorite dish of the night. I am gluten free (my family is not) and they made sure I was accommodated every step of the way. We are looking forward to our next time back as soon as we can get in again.

    Favorite place. Took my brother in law and his wife and finally tried the American Kobe Cap along with many others. We all took a bite together, and it was like an out of body experience.

    This was our first time here but definitely not the last. We were expecting a chain type feel and ok food and we’re pleasantly surprised. The green salad and ragu - delicious! The tiramisu was he best we’ve ever tasted. The wine selection reminded us of our Sicily trip. We will be back.
