“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.

    Impeccable service! I forget how rare it is and how pampered it makes you feel. Grill 23 offers that. And beautifully prepared food, if a little too salty for my taste. And DineOutBoston makes it a deal.

    was a great experience for our out of country guest. We went on a Sunday evening, so it was a quiet night. but that did not stop the service and food from being great. Got a great table by the window so that was nice to show off the city with the lights. We had a friend visiting from out of the Country. Service was great very attentive to our needs but not overbearing. Food came out hot fresh and in a great time. It did not come out with or right after the appetizers, I dislike when the app and dinner come out together and also dislike that you take last bite of app and dinner is here. So this was nice. Dessert was also very good. Price value was definitely nice. Will be back again.

    Fantastic, as always! We went for something a little different - the crab cakes and the uovo Benedictine, and both were great, but the real stars were the cocktails. Absolutely stellar espresso martini and “direct flight to Rome” a perfectly balanced espresso & amaro cocktail that I fell in love with. We’ll certainly be back (again and again!)

    Wonderful variety of flavors you don’t find many places. Very much appreciate the drink program, especially with so many non-alcoholic options. Looking forward to going back when we can enjoy the patio.
