“I wanted to do a place with good Italian comfort food. The simplicity of it, the freshness of it, the quality of ingredients that you get to work with.” They specialize in that quintessential Italian comfort food – pizza. “I think it’s great that the city of Boston is turning around and starting to become known for pizza like the other big cities in the country,” he said. “It is such a simple food but it all comes down to the quality of ingredients.” It’s all done out of an open kitchen where the star of the show is Molinari’s wood burning oven.

    Went for Dinner on a Saturday night. The complimentary Valet was a huge help as we could not find street parking and was so kind and opened my door for me. I am definitely glad I made a reservation in advance as all tables were full and the bar was packed! Erin was our server and she was great! Very nice and attentive even during the dinner rush. The Seafood Scampi had nice amount of lobster, scallops and shrimp and was seasoned well. The Filet was cooked perfectly and the mashed potatoes were delicious. To top off the evening I ordered an espresso martini that was smooth and creamy. 10/10 would return for another meal.

    We had an outstanding meal at Comfort Kitchen this evening. It’s off the beaten path, yet very successful for good reason. The food was uniformly delicious and unusual. The chefs clearly have a deft hand with spices. The food was extremely flavorful and well seasoned without being too spicy. The staff worked as a team, and the team members were extremely well trained, knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly without being at all intrusive. We look forward to a return visit!
