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.

    This was our first time here but definitely not the last. We were expecting a chain type feel and ok food and we’re pleasantly surprised. The green salad and ragu - delicious! The tiramisu was he best we’ve ever tasted. The wine selection reminded us of our Sicily trip. We will be back.

    I have been wanting to come here since it opened but I haven't had the chance. I heard amazing things about Comfort Kitchen and the menu looked amazing. When I tell you everything from the moment you walk in the door to the incredible staff was A++, I am not overexaggerating. You can see and taste care and love that is made with each dish and cocktail. Waitstaff are a wealth of knowledge and can give you a detailed description for each item on the menu (right down to flavor profile). Beyond impressive! I ordered two appetizers along with the Jerk Duck and braised greens. Absolute perfection! I didn't not get to finish everything and took the rest home however, my leftovers barely lasted 20 minutes of me coming home. It was divine! Comfort Kitchen is literally a gem and a must go. I am kicking myself for coming sooner but am extremely grateful to have been able to experience it in general! Absolute 10/10, I will definitely be back for dinner and to try out the brunch!

    We had a wonderful experience for my boyfriend’s birthday. The waitress was honest and knowledgeable when we asked for his input while ordering steaks. I ordered the Kobe cap medium rare and it came out rare, but it was still delicious. Everything was amazing. We will Definitely be back.
