Fox & the Knife

Should have taken more photos but loved everything here. The whole fish was delicious! The spaghetti was amazing and I don't normally like a red sauce. We zat at the bar and the bartender was phenomenal. I am terrible with names and can't remember, she's pretty tall, if management is reading this give her some kudos. Definitely recommend!

We had such an incredible experience at Fox & the Knife. The food was outstanding—so well seasoned, so flavorful, and nothing felt fussy or overworked. We sat at the chef’s counter and the service was phenomenal from start to finish. My husband ordered a habanero mocktail that he loved, and I had the Winter Fizz, which had this perfect tart pop from the pomegranate. The focaccia came out savory, salty, and wonderfully crispy. The endive salad honestly surprised me—in the best way. You taste everything: the richness of their amazing olive oil, crunch from the nuts and herbs, the little bitter snap from the greens, and this smooth, creamy yogurt tying it all together. The bucatini was spot-on with just the right amount of warm pepper and perfect chew. The pork Milanese was cooked beautifully—still slightly pink inside—and that mustard aioli was fire. And the desserts! My husband ordered the creamsicle and said it was incredible. I had the panna cotta, which almost ate like a savory cold cheese course. I loved it so much that I bought a bottle of their olive oil on the way out. Such a fantastic meal and overall experience. We can’t wait to come back!

I made reservations at Fox & The Knife before our trip because I've learned that in bigger cities it's always better to be safe than sorry when it comes to popular restaurants. I'm glad I did because this place feels like the kind of spot that fills up quickly. The restaurant itself is fairly small, but absolutely beautiful. The atmosphere immediately stood out to me and honestly reminded me a little of The Black Rabbit from Netflix. For our meal, we ordered the stuffed focaccia, harissa-marinated olives, the Caesar salad, two cocktails, the Bolognese, and the cacio e pepe. Everything was flavorful and beautifully prepared. The stuffed focaccia and olives were excellent starters, and both pasta dishes were rich and satisfying. While I've had a few pasta dishes elsewhere that I would rank slightly higher, the food here was still undeniably great. What really made Fox & The Knife stand out for me was the combination of the food and the ambiance. Sometimes a restaurant is more than just what's on the plate, and this was one of those places where the atmosphere elevated the entire meal. The attention to detail, the setting, and the overall experience made it feel like a memorable night out rather than just another dinner reservation. Overall, I would absolutely recommend Fox & The Knife to anyone visiting Boston. Great food, beautiful space, and an atmosphere that makes you want to linger a little longer.
