Loved our experience at Fox & the Knife! The vibes were fantastic, the food was delicious, and everything felt warm and welcoming. We enjoyed the homemade ricotta and focaccia, plus both the vegetarian pasta and bolognese; all excellent. A special shoutout to Alyssa behind the bar, who was absolutely awesome! She made the experience even better with her friendly, attentive service and great energy. Definitely a must-visit in Boston! read more

For years, we would order from Fox & The Knife via Goldbelly so when we were in Boston, we were thrilled to finally eat there in person. We had a Friday, 5:30pm reservation and it was busy in there. The lights are dimmed with candles on the table so it is very ambient and moody and I would say great for a date night. The restrooms are also downstairs and you get to pass by some cute Harry Potter decor. We started with the Prosciutto e Melone. Wow this is a fantastic dish, we love gazpacho and the melon was so fresh. It was starting to get a little chilly in early October when we dined but this was still great. The Piatti di Emilia caught our eye and the prosciutto and apple butter were delicious. I would have liked some arugula with it for freshness but it was still tasty. For the main meals, we shared the Spaghetti con Vongole and the Tagliatelle Bolognese. Both were fantastic. The pasta was al dente and I may have polished off both dishes toward the end of dinner. I also appreciated that the clams were taken out of the shell. I initially was not looking at this but my husband ordered the Milanese di Maiale and this was great! The pork was pounded thin but was still substantial. It had a crispy outside but juicy inside. The honey crisp apples broke up the oil/fried outside and the mustard greens also helped. The Fox & The Knife is a hit, I wish we could come here more often! read more

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Fox & The Knife. We visited on a Friday and the place was packed, so reservations are definitely recommended. For the quality of the food, we thought the prices were incredibly fair, and when you factor in the location, it's a real winner. We loved the ambiance too; it reminded me of the cozy little Italian restaurants in Rome. We started with the focaccia, which was to die for, and the house-made ricotta, also delicious. For pasta, we had the ravioli stuffed with Jonah crab and codfish, and it was one of the best pastas I've ever had. Our waiter mentioned people usually shy away from it and go for safer choices, but I cannot recommend it enough. We also had the tagliatelle bolognese and the pork Milanese, both incredible. We split everything, which was truly the way to do it. We ordered too much in retrospect, but everything was so good that we have zero regrets. Service was great and the wine list was impressive. read more

Carne cruda was suuuuuper good and I don't really even like tartare. Not too chewy. Great flavor. I feel like it could use a little spice but it was great... it might be nice to have to sit on the toilet tomorrow from too much spice tbh Also had the ravioli... it's why I gave this a 4 star not 5. It was small. It was fine. It was very light on the sauce In their defense she recommended like 3 other pastas ahead of that but I picked it anyways lol read more

Fox & The Knife - Steak tartare crostini - Wine Bars Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

With candlelit tables and beautifully crafted dishes, Fox & The Knife exudes simple elegance. Reservations are highly recommended since they get very busy especially on the weekends. We ended up trying these dishes: 5/5 - Endive Salad: LOVED IT. I only wish there was more. With refreshing citrus + nutty flavors & a crispy veggie base this was the perfect starter! 5/5 - Chickpeas: These were insane. I know you're also thinking, they're just beans. How good could they be? But seriously, I could eat these forever because they were perfectly crispy, well-seasoned and addicting. 4/5 - Stuffed Focaccia: Absolutely delicious, but the cheesiness does get overwhelming. 3.5/5 - Tagliatelle Bolognese: A well-executed dish, but missing a little oomph. Could've used more seasoning for the Boar. 3.5/5 - Chocolate Olive Oil Cake: Very moist & decadent, but the taste of olive oil overwhelmed the other flavors. You could barely tell this was chocolate. I did love the pistachio pieces though, as it added much needed texture. Overall, Fox & The Knife was a solid experience. Not a life-changing experience, but would still consider them one of the better restaurants in Boston. read more

Food is solid. The tagliatelle had excellent texture (thin, perfectly cooked al dente, chewy yet not doughy-- almost bouncy). Loved the filling in the tortelli. Broccoli Caesar is tasty, but probably would try something new next time. Focaccia is just as usual. Endive salad was interesting, but slightly salty and the dressing wasn't evenly tossed which led to disparate bites. Wished there was more pear to balance the salt. Kitchen is very small, so orders have to be put in at once. Recommend getting a reservation as it's busy. No parking lot so street parking only. read more

I wanted to love this place but, it wasn't quite love. I think this restaurant has work to do with managing the volume of its clientele. They seemed very unprepared for the pace of the business. To start, we weren't seated until almost 35 minutes past our reservation. It was understandable that some tables like to sit and chat after their meal. My solution would be to leave seats open at the bar or have a table or two not booked back to back for reservations. It almost seemed like this restaurant was sacrificing the experience to flip another table. Instead of having a place to stand we were stuck behind people eating at the bar or by the kitchen constantly being moved out of the way. It was awkward and unpleasant. When we were finally seated, there was a custom menu that said "happy birthday" waiting which was a unique and fun touch. I loved that it was something personal that I hadn't encountered before. When we went to order food unfortunately the dish I wanted was sold out. They had "just sold" the last one. I couldn't help but think that if we had been seated on time, I would have had the dish I wanted. After some more debate, we ended up with the broccoli Caesar salad and focaccia for starters. Unfortunately, the staff came over with an extra salad and no focaccia which we wanted to go with the salad. The broccoli Caesar salad was probably the best item on the menu. It was charred with citrus dressing. I could eat that everyday. I had the steak entree which was well cooked and good quality but came with a deconstructed elote on the plate. It was strange in an Italian themed restaurant and was just odd overall. I also tried the salmon which was good and pretty plated and the bolognese. Both were average. When the main course was almost over our focaccia arrived. It was fabulous but too late. We ordered desert and coffee/tea. Deserts were all fantastic. I had a passion fruit dessert and tried both the creamsicle and cherry sorbet. All were perfectly balanced and great pallet cleansers. Unfortunately we had another blunder with the service here and the creamsicle dessert didn't arrive until we asked for it twice. Let's talk about the drinks. The wine list could use work. All the reds (about 5-6) were Italian which I get we're going with a theme but then elote on a plate? I would have liked a nice Pinot or Cab with my meal. Instead I settled for a wine that was just ok. The cappuccino were sub par. It's nice that they offer them but, the server was struggling to make them and you could tell. The tea was inexpensive and not the best quality or selection. I would expect more. Overall the server tried her best. I could tell she was frustrated by all of the issues that we were having, none of which were her fault. But, if this restaurant wants to stay at the top of Boston's food scene, they need to get their act together. There can't be no space for people to wait for their table and to have drinks, there can't be food being run out of and forgotten. There needs to be a premium experience all around. It just seemed like the restaurant was overwhelmed and didn't know what to do. I would say this restaurant is worth a try but probably not a second try. There are restaurants with just as good, if not better food with a 10x better experience. If I had a better experience I would have been more apt to come back. **side note: the manager was sitting at a table when we left and did not say a single word to us on the way out. I at least would have liked a "have a good night" read more

Wow this place is a vibe on Thursday night! (College Friday). Outdoor and indoor seating was fully booked but the bar seating was open and quick to be seated. These 2 items were the server recommendation: $16 TALEGGIO STUFFED FOCACCIA rosemary; olive oft mozzarella - This was delicious! It looked like they served me half a pie until I cut the flaky bread open to reveal the melted Mozarella and rosemary pieces. The salt on the bread just enhanced the flavor and paired nicely with all the ingredients. I completely devoured this appetizer. $27 SPAGHETTI CON VONGOLE saffron ciams. tomato butter - It was either this or the Bolognese. To each their own but I think I should have gone with the bolognese and here's why. The Spaghetti took roughly 30 minutes to come out. It looked great, but it was slightly more on the saltier side and pasta tasted gummy and undercooked. Don't know if it's the type of pasta they used or if the chef rushed it a bit early. However, there were plenty of clams in the dish to have for each bite. And enough tomato butter at the end when you complete your dish. And just a note: This is not a big portion. You come here to taste the flavors and feel good. Not to feel like you went to an all you can eat if that makes sense. Overall, would definitely come back to try the rest of the menu and perhaps a few artisan drinks if I didn't have to wake up so early the next day. read more

Awesome for dinner! I made a reservation at Fox & The Knife after finding it on Yelp. The interior was modern and stylish, with dim lighting and neon signage. I usually don't love high-top seating, but our table was pretty comfortable. For drinks, I got a glass of Pinot Grigio, which was nice and crisp. For my first course, I ordered the Insalata di Indivia, which was different than I expected, but still very tasty. I just wish it had a bit more sweetness from the pear. I also tried a bit of my friend's Broccoli alla Griglia "Caesar", which was even better! I highly recommend ordering this as a starter. For my entree, I chose the Spaghetti con Vongole. This was absolutely delicious. The pasta was perfectly al dente and I loved the tomato butter sauce. Service was friendly and seamless! My friend is gluten-free and they brought out a special gluten-free menu for her and double-checked about dietary restrictions at least 3 separate times. Overall, we loved this spot for dinner! read more

We made a reservation about 20 minutes before showing up on a Tuesday night. It was fairly empty, so we were sat right down.

A moody, romantic dinner setting - Fox & The Knife was a popular destination even at opening. We were lucky to get seated at the bar only 10 minutes after opening due to how many reservations they had, so make sure to get your seat in advance with time to look for street parking if driving. Portions were pretty small, so you are advised to get a couple to share. The flavors were strong and unique, but a couple dishes were overly seasoned. Service was quick and felt a tad rushed instead of being able to linger. Overall, it's a great spot for couples or small groups. read more

My husband and I are both big fans of chef Karen Akunowicz, so we knew we needed to come while we were in town. We intentionally came hungry because we knew we wanted to try everything. We stayed off with the piatti di Emilia, which had the most unique flavor. We loved the idea of this appetizer. We also knew we had to order the taleggio stuffed focaccia, which is as good as it looks. The show stopper for me was the dessert. I had an espresso martini paired with a chai affogato (chair gelato with a shot of espresso). Our only downfall, was we were sat very close to what seems like the only waiter POS station, so it was often loud and not very intimate. But I would definitely recommend a visit. The location is very accessible via the T. read more

We came to the Fox & the Knife for my boyfriend's birthday. When I made the reservation, I was asked the occasion and stated birthday (as one does when asked). When we arrived, his menu was printed with a personalized birthday wish with his name! I love the details! A+ hospitality. The restaurant was full on a Saturday night and I swear we got the best seat in the house. A corner table where we both got to sit on a booth. Thank you!!! The service was excellent throughout. The food was good, actually very good. But when the meal costs more than my monthly gym membership, I want everything to be extraordinary, ya know? Here's my feedback. Caveat: I'm particular (read: snobby) Stuffed focaccia: obviously it tastes good. It's bread stuffed with cheese. I was a little texturally disappointed as it was all super soft. The bread was soft, the cheese was soft. Do with that what you will. Broccoli Caesar: so delish. Lettuce is boring, and broccoli is fun. I really enjoyed this salad and everything about it Pepe e cacio: I've tried a lot of cacio e Pepe in the greater boston area and they all suck bc they aren't made properly. Notice the name change here. So smart. The dish was delicious. It wasn't pure cacio e Pepe (they use goat butter), but they never said it was, so hell yeah. Oh and the pasta itself--excellent!! Pollo: another word for chicken. The dish tasted good, but it wasn't special. I wouldn't order this again. It was a nice night with very good food overall. I wish we didn't end on the chicken. We probably would have been happier if we just had more pasta instead. read more

Service really set the tone here. From the jump, Willie was incredibly knowledgeable about both the food and drinks, explaining dishes with confidence and genuine enthusiasm without ever being overbearing. He guided us through cocktails, helped pace a large table order effortlessly, and clearly knew the menu inside and out. You could tell he actually cares about what's coming out of the kitchen, which goes a long way. I also want to point out the attentiveness to allergies and their gluten free menu if requested. We ended up trying almost everything on the menu at Fox & the Knife, and there were some clear standouts. For starters, the Taleggio stuffed focaccia is an absolute must try. Warm, cheesy, indulgent, and exactly what you want to kick off a meal. The broccoli Caesar was also excellent, with a very bold and punchy Caesar and parmesan flavor that really delivered. The carne cruda and burrata were both done very nicely and met expectations for a high end Italian spot. Clean, fresh, and well executed. The chips and fried chickpeas are solid if you're having a round of drinks first, but they're more snackable fillers than must order items. Worth noting the pacing is fairly quick, so don't linger too long before appetizers. Food comes out fast. For pastas, the tagliatelle bolognese is hands down the star of the show. It's the largest portion on the table and also the most satisfying, with tender and flavorful meat and rich sauce. Easily the dish I'd come back for. The pollo al mattone was also a highlight. Incredibly juicy, tender, and cooked perfectly. A member also had the spaghetti and was very impressed. The mains were a bit more hit or miss. The steak was cooked well, but the portion was small and ultimately unremarkable. Nothing that would pull me away from a dedicated steakhouse. The milanese was good overall, but could have been crispier, and while the mustard sauce helped, it didn't fully make up for some dryness. Unfortunately, the chocolate torta was a miss for me. Hard and dry, and not the finish you'd hope for after such a strong meal. Overall, great energy, standout service, and some truly excellent dishes, especially the focaccia and bolognese. A few misses keep it from a perfect score, but still very much worth visiting, especially if Willie is taking care of your table. read more

I've been wanting to come to Fox & The Knife and snagged a reservation recently. It was a nice experience! I LOVE that they have a shellfish-free menu and other menus for specific food allergies. They'll also mark it up with any other specific notes for allergies, which I so appreciated. On the food side, the endive salad was lovely, with a lot of fun textures. The pistachios gave a welcome crunch and the yogurt on the side was unexpected but worked really well. They have an awesome foccacia stuffed with taleggio cheese--honestly, why aren't lots of other people putting cheese in their foccacia? Missed opportunity! I had spaghetti as my entree, which isn't something that I would usually order but it was good, although the other dishes were more standout for me. I finished the meal with the orange creamsicle, which was a more refined take on an old school creamsicle. The ice cream was my favorite part but the granita on top was also nice. My server, Suzannah, was super friendly and attentive, and I had a chef's table seat and enjoyed watching the kitchen work! Always one of my favorite things. read more

Bustling trendy spot with enthusiastic wait staff. Loved the open kitchen) The fried chickpeas were great as was the focaccia (but the focaccia was on the softer side). The pastas are the stars here. Had the bolognese, pepe e cacio, and the spaghetti con vongole. All were delicious and perfectly al dente but if I had to choose one would pick the spaghetti con vongole. The pesce fritti was very good. Had the orange creamsicle, chocolate torta and passion fruit panna cotta. I'd rate the orange creamsicle the best, follow by the panna cotta. A truly enjoyable experience. read more

I was super excited to try this spot after receiving multiple recommendations from friends and this did not disappoint. Friendly hostess and a great waitress who provided recommendations for the current menu. She also mentioned to aim for 5 options as the portion sizes were small. Also, appreciated them accommodating my table swap from a bar seating to a table. The food was well seasoned and flavorful though a little pricey to be honest. The scallops were so good but $40 for two scallops as an entree was a bit questionable in terms of value but the broth was exquisite. I also enjoyed the raviolo carbonara which I found a fun take on a classic dish. Overall, a pretty cute spot and would love to come back and try out their other seasonal options! read more

This place has such a great vibe, the waitress was very personable, it's lively and on the louder side, and the food is good. We tried the stuffed focaccia which everyone raved about. I think it's good but a little too much cheese (for me). It's very fluffy and moist and was otherwise delicious. The prosciutto was fantastic, so soft and tender, and not too salty like store bought ones. The funghi pasta was good, but not a huge wow factor for me. We also tried this Milanese crispy pork and it turned out to be a large slab of fried breaded pork, which was good but not what I expected. I was thinking more bite size pieces, and so it ended up being more food than I thought. We made a reservation the day of and would highly recommend since they looked pretty booked out by the time we arrived. Overall glad I tried this place -- love the atmosphere and the food was relatively good, but could be better. I'm willing to try some other dishes though! read more

We were quickly seated for our reserved time. Friendly service throughout. We had a couple apps and entrees, because we were warned that the plates were small. Everything we ate was excellent (and not as small as we expected). Cacio e Pepe and the Bolognese were fantastic. Great wine list. The ambiance was nice but not stuffy. Tables are close together, but somehow, it's not too loud to have a comfortable conversation. read more

Fox & The Knife came highly recommended, so my friends and I were very excited to try. The place was lively, but, unfortunately there was an AC vent dripping next to us. Over a pretty disappointing experience given the food. The mains were especially bad, to the point where I can't even gaslight myself into thinking I like it. My friends and I ordered the spaghetti con vongole, mafaldini alla fungi, and another spaghetti (?). All 3 pasta dishes were undercooked. They were just inedible. At least the focaccia was good. read more

We sat outdoors on a busy street with lots of traffic noise and server immediately informed us that we should order 3 dishes per person as the kitchen gets busy as the portions are quite small and they can't accommodate add on requests. When we received our main course, the dishes were lukewarm warm (a ravioli dish and the sauce for the salmon dish poured by the server). The experience was not pleasant and we won't be coming back. I expected more from a Michelin noted restaurant. They should not offer outdoor seating if they can't deliver. The ambience of the outdoor experience was so subpar as well. read more

The food was exceptional. The service was tragic. It took us 2:45 minutes to eat. We were told dinner was coursed for every 15 minutes. It took 20+ minutes to get drinks. 45 minutes to get one course. This was 20 minutes after the manager told us it would be a couple of minutes. And we watched three other tables get at least one of the items we ordered. Each a table who came in after us. Our server didn't show up for an hour. Amazingly bad. The restaurant itself is nice. We thought it would be loud. It wasn't too much. Everyone has a bad night. Service and management and the kitchen absolutely blew it. The highlight might have been saying here's the good and the good, you're food is about to come out and I'm buying two desserts for 4 people, and then the food didn't come out in the almost ten minutes he was with us - after waiting 30 minutes. Whooo. Bad. read more

The food here was exceptional. I generally feel that Italian places do a great job with the appetizers and the pasta courses, but the mains are not on the same level (such that I will instead just order more pasta dishes and no mains). Not so here at Fox &The Knife. Everything was great. The appetizers and the pastas here are outstanding. The roasted broccoli with miso and the Jerusalem artichokes were both deeply flavorful, both the seasoning and the flavors that the roasting brought out of the vegetables was quite good. The pasta was noteworthy: the spaghetti with clams was one of the best preparations I've had of it in the US. The raviolo with an egg yolk was on par with the same dish at Cotogna in SF. For the main, we got the branzino. While I lamented not double ordering the spaghetti with clams, I was still very glad we got the branzino. It was expertly roasted, the fish was very tender but not overdone. The herbs it was dressed with were bright and complemented the fish, drawing out the flavor. All in all, a really outstanding meal. read more

I came here because it's BIB GOURMAND. But to be honest, I was a bit disappointed. The drink or the food is good, but ordinary. FOX 75 - I really like the lemon peel, which gives it very good smell. The drink is refreshing for summer. But pretty light and not too flavorful. We ordered TALEGGIO STUFFED FOCACCIA, TAGLIATELLE BOLOGNESE, TORTELLI DI PASTINACA. All are good. But nothing special or stands out. We definitely had better versions in other restaurants. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The bar tender is very passionate and nice.

Got a late reservation as this place is so popular! The ambience is cozy and very welcoming however the open kitchen is definitely smokey and will benefit if they strengthen the ventilation. You get used to it after a while. The service is good. The breakdown of the food: potato chips-could have been a bag of chips and will skip this!, endive salad was amazing with the Asian pear and yogurt, pasta for Vongole was my FAVORITE( so fresh and it was very tasty) and so is the wild boar bolognese. The pork Milanese (pork cutlet) was beautiful fried and done! The portions are small so that was recommended by the staff to get 2-3 plates per person. The chocolate olive cake was meh and maybe would have work even nicer with ice cream but I would go crazy over it. Overall, it was good and would come back just for the Vongole. read more

Ambiance was warm and inviting, hard to read menus with the lights so dimmed. Thankfully we had our phone flashlights to help us. If you're seated at the back of the restaurant and near the stairs leading to the restrooms, you will smell the cleaner to them. Couldn't get that smell out of my nose. Service was good but when you remove a dish that looks half eaten, you should ask was everything wrong with this dish or would you like to take it home? None of these questions were asked. Food: Really overpriced and not at all worth what we paid for. We selected a variety of dishes to try. Here's the rundown. We ordered both pane(s) and they were good. Not knock your socks off but still delicious. Burrata: it was good per my partner but they have had better burrata dishes. Pasta's Spaghetti Con Vongole, we were excited to try this one especially because of the freshly made pasta. It was ok tasting but the spaghetti was under done and the sauce was lackluster. Bolognese: pasta cooked to perfection. Each bite became overwhelming with thyme and rosemary. That is all we could taste was the toasted herbs. I get the dish said thyme but the amount was too much. Wish they tasted this dish before sending it out. This is the dish we had two mouthfuls of and could NOT eat anymore. When the server grabbed it from our table, we were not asked if there was anything wrong with it or did we want to take it home. Milanese Pork was ok, again pork was cooked to perfection but seasoning was flat or super salty. It all depended on the bite. No pickled cherries but topped with honey crisp apples. Saffron aioli was ok for a sauce. The take home, would we come back. No! Did we want to have a better food experience, hell yes! read more

The food was amazing, as was the service. I sat at the Chef's Counter, very cool to see how the kitchen works. The chili chickpeas were delicious, also enjoyed the gnocco fritto. For my main I chose the bolognese , which was surprisingly light, not heavy. The pasta was perfection! read more

Visited tonight. Definitely a Michelin experience. Sat at the chefs station. Extremely small kitchen with 4 chefs working very well and dancing about to offer multi course dishes to about 60 Patrons. Party of two over ordered. Highlights were the wine list of three dry Lambrusco's, fried chickpeas, fresh house made ricotta to start. The tagliatelle ragu paired with the raviolo were stunning. Peas in the raviolo were exceptional. Egg may have been a tad over but delicious nonetheless. Pork main was phenomenal. Medium pork with the most perfectly battered and fried exterior was awesome. Apples and very subtle mustard were perfect companions. Chicken dish was good but was overshadowed by the stunning pork dish. We will definitely be back. The only down side was we were offered and served desert before our main course. Minor oversight given how busy they were on a Monday night. read more

Fox & The Knife was great! I would def recommend getting the endive salad, scallops, and bolognese. I thought the chicken pate could've used more bread and mustard on the side, and the steak tartare was a tad bit oily. Server was also rlly attentive and helpful w/ the menu. Overall, a lovely place for a dinner. I felt that the three small plates, one pasta and one entree was good for me and my partner. read more

Food happens to be incredible. They have small portions, and only a few beers on tap (peroni and sip of sunshine I believe, I forget) The staff is extremely attentive and very professional. Definitely appears like a well-run place, I'd trust them with a party! I liked the citrus salad a lot. The green olives were a nice and surprising touch, but every bite was incredible. They opened up the doors and it felt like outdoor seating, lots of light and not stuffy at all. I went on a weekday right after work, there were a few people dining but not a lot.

I've been here a few times and always have a great time when i visit! I love to sit at the bar or in the bar area, because it's easy to see into the kitchen and have a view of some of the food prep! We started with an aperol spritz (delicious), prosciutto, and fried chili chickpeas. Do not sleep on the chickpeas they were amazing. Entrees were the bolognese and spaghetti with clams. The bolognese was delicious and had a Smokey taste to it. The spaghetti with clams was good, but there's a slight crunch to it that i didn't love. We also split the pork Milanese and while it was cooked well, the saffron aioli on the bottom was very strong. In all, the experience here is great, the service is prompt, and the restaurant is quaint and comfortable. It's also right next to the T broadway stop on the red line, which I'd recommend over parking since there doesn't seem to be a ton of available parking options. read more
