We truly enjoyed our entire meal, with the chef accommodating an adjustment of sauce and pasta and service personnel so nice. Gnocchi were fluffy, delicate and still substantial. Zucchini and buffalo mozzarella were a delicious surprise. Everyone enjoyed the deep flavors of the Tagliatelle in sugo. The Negroni, slightly dry, were exceptional.

I love this place! I have gone many times with different friends. It has great ambiance, the service is wonderful. The owner and the waiters are super friendly and nice. The tables are distanced so that you can have a private conversation. They regularly change the ravioli recipe and they have all been great. Something to highlight, also, is that they don't rush you ever.

We love this neighborhood gem! Very personal service and good cooking. The owner Joe is very knowledgeable about wines. Great for dates or group events

Another excellent dining experience at Enoteca Molinari. We loved the zucchini first plate choice and my Italian American husband declared that the pasta was perfectly prepared (he's very picky about that!) My choice of the gnocchi for the main dish with the Pt. Reyes toma cheese sauce was as good as ever. Our meal was topped off with the almond cake fresh out of the oven and served with whipped cream and fresh strawberries. It was a lovely mid-summer meal.

Elegant atmosphere, excellent service, great food, and very good wine. The arancini and ragu are making me hungry as I recall eating them.

Homemade pasta,. We had the special of the day, beet ravioli, it was delicate complex and delicious. The Sicilian appetizer was also outstanding! My Italian dinner guest was happily impressed as well.
