The meat lovers pizza and the proscioutto with honey sauce pizza were both really good. Not a fan of the flavor of the arancinni appetizer. In the weekends it is better to make a reservation.

Found this hidden gem on open table. Food and staff were amazing! Special thanks to Kelly, she was great and suggested what we should get to eat. Wish this was closer to Philly, lol.

I wasn’t wild about the place but my four guests all loved it. My biggest complaint was the place was pretty noisy and a bit crowded. (It’s a small space) The staff could not have been nicer from the second we walked in the door. Our server was wonderful. We started with a chicken wing appetizer that was very nice. My wife had some pasta with lobster. They make all their own pasta which everybody seems to love. I’m the type of guy who thinks the stuff I buy in the supermarket in a box is just as good. I had a chicken Parm sandwich which was pretty good. The bread was very nice. Next time I’m going to try the meatball sandwich. The desserts were very good. There is sufficient street parking so you should be able to find a spot easily enough. My wife wants to go back and try the pizza. Next time we will go on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon. We had a 7 PM reservation the night we went and I think that’s why it might’ve been a little crowded. Check it out….

All the rumors are true, this tiny place punches way above its weight, serving up both old fashioned Italian American classics, as well as modern authentic Italian cuisine. Prices are quite modest, especially if you’re coming from Boston, and service is so smooth, not just for our table but for everyone else, I don’t think I’ve seen a team perform in such an integrated fashion before. The space is quite small so reservations are essential even on a random rainy Tuesday. The only demerit would be the noise levels, they were quite a bit high and the hard surfaces made acoustics very difficult for conversation.

8:30 reservation. We came here to have a “goodbye” dinner for my son who had just moved to Quincy. My husband and I took him to dinner before we flew home the next morning.

I highly recommend Molinari’s! The ambiance here is wonderful and the restaurant is tastefully decorated. The waitress was friendly and service was incredibly efficient. Above all, it has several delicious vegetarian options — the bruschetta and Margherita pizza were incredibly flavorful and wholesome!
