Loved this place! The pizza is incredible! The meatballs were amazballs! Will definitely be going back if I'm on the area!!Kid-friendliness: They have a kids' menu, and it was a bit noisy, so if your child has no sensitivity to noise, then bring them on in! They will love it! You can't go wrong with Italian good and kids! Enjoy a good meal with the family here.
Ordered chicken broccoli Alfredo and my cat could’ve made the dish better. Pasta was very bland and dry. The sauce was very watery and sat at the bottom of the tray as I got it to go. It was a total waste of money and a disgrace coming from an Italian restaurant. Very dissatisfied, would not recommend.Also came with a hard piace of bread, with no butter garlic spread or anything.Definitely looked nothing like the photos on google which was the first let down and acknowledgement that it was going to be a disaster. Service wasn’t good or bad just the ladies just basically did their job and got us moving. But definitely won’t be back.

Visited for the first time and tried the carbonara pasta. Very impressive and very fresh. It was really busy but I received my food within 12-15 minutes. The Tiramisu was the BEST I ever had. I would definitely return to try other menu items. NeighborhoodGem that makes it feels like we have a little bit of the North End in Dorchester!Ps, John was a great waiter.

Went here last week. Pizza was super greasy/oily and messy. We couldn't cut it without cheese and toppings falling all over the place. Food was ok.

We always walk out blown away by the food and service here. I would recommend a reservation as it's always busy and pretty small inside. The short rib ravioli are my new personal favorite.

Guess what happens when you seal boiling hot food and its sauces into a sealed plastic container? IT KEEPS COOKING! Get better containers or POKE HOLES IN TOP of you're stupid lids. This is my fav restaurant in all of boston but takeout is so bad..

I eat here about once a week. This is a perfect little Italian spot, amazing food and well priced drinks. Really can not go wrong. I have tried just about everything on the menu at this point. The chicken milanese is my go to.

Always a great atmosphere and great authentic Italian food.
Pizza was delicious our appetizer was served cold I didn't complain they were busy the chicken Parm was ok not very hot either workers were very nice fast servers.. I would probably order pizza again to go and Italian sub to go.

Incredibly delicious, homey meal! We walked in a Saturday 7p with easy parking and prompt bar seating, where Grace warmly welcomed us. Food (4.5/5) - Bianco ($20)- delicious prosciutto and arugula, with balsamic drizzle - Fettucini Carbonara w chicken cutlet ($23+3)- blown away! scrumptious, handmade noodles w crispy cutlet. not heavy at all! star of the night. - Cannoli ($12)- so light and not overly sweet, easily my favorite in Boston Will def be back!

Reeeeally delish Italian food, both in person and takeout! The Lucca Pizza is incredible & is something you can't get anywhere else. I've also gotten the chicken piccata and the chicken is delicious. Service is good and atmosphere is a vibe!
We love it here! It was my husbands birthday dinner and I forgot to put that in our reservation. Our waitress caught this little detail immediately and she was very kind and even surprised us with a birthday dessert. It's always a great time eating here. Amazing food and amazing service!

Toooo much garlic!The last few times I have eaten at Molinari's, the meals/sauces have had way, way, way too much garlic. Don't get me wrong, I loke garlic but garlic is meant to enhance the flavor of the meal, not overpower. Unfortunately, the sauces on the pasta are almost inedible because of the garlic.To the chef/cook at Molinari's, garlic is like salt. You can always add more but you can't take it away. Personally, I like the flavoe of the marinara and or alfredo (garlic added as one of many ingredients mixed together to make a well rounded, tasty, dish - not THE ingredient that distracts from the dish).If Molinari's made this minor adjustment, they would go back to being one of my favorite restaurants to get delicious italian. However, I am so garlic shy of their meals, I won't be ordering from them. ?
