“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.

    18 of us gathered to celebrate a milestone birthday! Service was absolutely fantastic, food was delicious, and wonderful times were had by all. I was able to adjust the guest count easily if needed, which made planning a large group easy as can be.

    I've eaten here many many times and it remains my favorite restaurant in Boston. Food is just spectacular and service is casually impeccable. We had such a lovely dinner, particularly the three in our party who had never been before. Have the tuna crudo from the raw bar menu--relatively simple but as good a dish as I've ever had.

    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.

    So cute inside! Great date spot but I wonder if you could also rent out half for an event-it's small and intimate. Love the idea of moderately priced "snacks", many of which were vegetarian. Not the absolute best cocktails, but maybe they're known for something else. We will definitely be back!

    The food and service, as usual, was excellent. We continue to have problem, however, with issue of being seated with friends who arrive separately for the same reservation. Once again, our friends, who had arrived earlier, were seated at a table. When we arrived for the same reservation ,(under our name) we were seated at a separate table. After waiting, we called our friends to find out when they would be arriving. They advised us they were waiting for us for 20 minutes and were seated at a separate table on the other side of the restaurant! This keeps happening when we visit Joes in Westwood. The receptionists should have some way of knowing when two people for a four person reservation are seated that when the other couple arrives they are seated together. This is the second time this has happened. We waited twenty minutes before we realized that we were all at the restaurant! It was very embarrassing. We love Joes but it would be appreciated, in the future, if we are all seated together when couples meet at the restaurant, however, arrive at different times. Thank you Steve Goodman 617-290-3680
