Quality ingredients. A sublime attention to detail. Balance in salty, umami and heat. The broccoli Caesar is a must have along with the homemade ricotta. I sat at Chefs counter and got wonderful attention from everyone. Amazing!

Kinda knew what I’d be getting into going here, but this was mediocre and not worth the expensive price point.
Broccoli Caesar was p good and they made it vegetarian for me. The carbonara was delicious but way too small- finished it in 3 min flat. Ordered burrata in the hopes of being more full… and it didn’t even come with bread. That was confusing. Left a little hungry and frustrated at myself for spending $100

Had the pleasure of dining here tonight. Found the staff and atmosphere were great I found a lot of the food to be average to good not great, so a little disappointed based on the price point, as experiences at other locations with similar costs had deeper flavors or more bold aromas. Definitely not a pass if looking to come, just may be an average to good experience not a memorable great one
Celebrated a birthday and we had a wonderful time! There were 7 of us and we had plenty of space . We were never rushed. The food was very good!

We chose to sit at the chef’s counter where we got to witness first hand the love and attention to detail that goes into this delicious food experience. The staff was so warm & welcoming; you can feel the passion. We had gotten engaged earlier in the day and our friends called ahead to let the staff know. We were greeted with congrats and custom menus to keep. It was a great dining experience and we definitely plan on visiting again in the future.

Excellent food, fun choices and a great to share. The wine list is both accessible and has some great offerings in Italian Bs! A touch loud in the dinning room and our table had a cold air seat but none of this detracts from the execution!

Can’t believe it took me this long to write a review. Dining here has consistently been fantastic ever since the place opened up. Did a walk I recently. The waitress was very accommodating and understanding of allergies. The kitchen was able to modify or give us alternative options. Great choice for people with hazelnut or sesame allergies. The pricing is definitely my favorite part, great quality but doesn’t break the bank. 5 stars 🤩

This is the best meal I've had in Boston. My husband and I went last week after learning Karen Akunowicz was the chef - we've loved watching her on Tournament of Champions.
We split the taleggio stuffed focaccia and broccoli caesar, which was difficult to share - I think we both wanted the entire plates for ourselves. The focaccia was like an upgraded grilled cheese. For our primi, I ordered the tagliatelle bolognese, which I have thought about every day since. My husband got the raviolo carbonara, which was also delicious. For the secondi, we enjoyed the monkfish saltimbocca, which left us wanting more. In my husband's words, "I think this is the most I've said 'wow' during a meal."
Fox & The Knife is a perfect spot for a date night, girl's night out, or celebration. After that, you'll be going just because you can.

Went here with my gf for valentines day weekend, and the service was still fantastic which is rare and appreciated! TLDR: Food was great, some things a little too salty, which at this price point means 4 stars on food but gets made up for with atmosphere and service and the quality of the food that wasnt too salty. Come here for a pricy and great date spot.
Burrata: salad on top was texturally awesome, but a little salty without a sweet or fresh flavor in there. Needed some citrus or something.
Chickpeas: great flavor, wayyyy too salty to have a lot of. Feels like this must have been a single batch error rather than consistent.
Tartar: parm dies a lot, greatly balanced, not overwhelming beef, top tier, onions shine through. Top tier dish and not a tiny amount of beef
Gold rush cocktail: incredible
Clam pasta: lovely red pepper flavor through w a great amount of baby crunch- clams a little chewy but that’s to be expected. Would not get again
Mushroom pasta: buttery umami heaven Creamy bc of the Parmesan Noodle texture works great w the naturally rubbery mushrooms, which are as tender as possible- no notes and not too salty which was welcome
Pork belly: delicious and heavy- needed more of the sauce to balance it out though. A little overwhelming meatwise
Olive oil cake: just enough creme fraiche, the nuts on top add a beautiful crunch, and not too dense a cake. Incredible
Service: exemplary, new place setting every course. Super attentive and well coordinated. Made me feel special lol
Bathrooms: clean, well set up w speakers, amenities

This was our first time in, recommended by our close friend! The food was amazing! We loved our dessert-chocolate olive oil tort- absolutely delicious ! Our waitress Janice was so sweet and explained everything to us and gave us many great suggestions! My fiancé got the mushroom pasta and I got the wild boar bolognese! Homemade pasta was a key to our heart. We got two apps: the burratta and brocolli Ceasar. Both very good! The burratta was so creamy and my fav btwn the two. We celebrated my birthday and it was deff worth our while and our meal was very pleasant! We will certainly be back!

Fox and Knife is my fiance and I’s go to restaurant for special occasions. It is reasonably priced and the Talleggio stuffed focaccia is truly a religious experience. It melts in your mouth while also bursting with flavor. Their take on Cacio e Pepe with goat butter is the best I’ve ever had. Warm atmosphere great service and delicious food.
