I’ve been wanting to try this place for a long time and I finally did. The food was amazing!! We had the meat lovers pizza, the chicken parm w penne, black pepper fettuccine and the bruschetta. This is like having North End quality right in our own backyard (we were home in 5 minutes). The food tasted so fresh, the chicken parm was huge & tasted wonderful, everything was excellent!! I can’t wait to return

We went to Molinari‘s during our two week trip along the East coast and had a wonderful dinner there. The pizza and pasta were delicious, and you should try the cannoli. Our waitress Emily G was probably the best waitress we had during our trip. She did a great job.

Table is a lil bit small but they have real candle and flower, which is lovely. Service is good. Food is always on the top quality and authentic. I wish the spaghetti came with scallops had more flavour, but it's still a nice dish!

Came in for a quick Italian sub for lunch and it was great. Bartender and staff both really friendly. Will definitely return.

Great experience; pasta was al dente and fresh with generous amount of seafood. Wood fire pizza was also yummy. The portion size are good even able to share entrees. The space can be tight, with small tables. But Would recommend as a good casual spot for Italian outside of the city!

Food was phenomenal! The staff was awesome all around. 10/10 highly recommend.

Okay, people, let me explain something to yall. When you have a wood fire oven verses a regular oven? Well, that's the difference in the taste. Today's keyword is wood fire. This food is off the hook by far. Well, if you're not there, sucks to be you. Of course, with all due respect. Say less.

Loved this place. Arancini, Pizza and Chicken Parm were all amazing.
