“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.

    Amazing food and very good flavors! I will say the appetizers were rather small for the price. We got the okra and it was so good but there was probably less than 10 pieces and they weren't even big. The jackfruit sliders were fantastic and delicious but again, pretty small and the buns were dry. They should butter and toast the buns or use a different type of bun that's more moist. The jerk duck was perfect, no notes. My vegetarian boyfriend loved his mushroom dish. Our drinks were phenomenal. The ambience could be better, the lights were a bit too bright in my opinion. The space was really small so I think they didn't want to overdo it with the decorations but I think a few touches here and there to make the space less blank would be beneficial. The space lacked some coziness. But truly overall, great experience!
