“I wanted to do a place with good Italian comfort food. 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.

Fantastic is a understatement for this restaurant. From the Great location to our incredible server (Miguel) who was beyond experienced in helping us decide what to order. The main feature of this restaurant is the amazing food. The Duck was delicious as was the Tuna appetizer. The warm cookie to end the meal was too amazing to express in words. I can not wait to go back.

Food was delicious and our server was attentive and professional. Host/manager was somewhat aloof and was not inclined to seat us early even though there were open tables.
