Enoteca Molinari offers delicious food and an excellent wine selection at a reasonable price, making it a favorite Italian restaurant for many patrons. While some experienced issues with supply chain delays affecting the quality of their meals or slow service due to understaffing, the majority rave about the flavorful dishes such as swordfish with olives and capers or ricotta ravioli in brown butter sage. The cozy, family-friendly atmosphere, knowledgeable staff, and well-curated wine list add to the charm of this restaurant. Despite occasional hiccups, Enoteca Molinari remains a highly recommended dining destination for flavorful Italian cuisine.

Food: Good, but not great. Expected more because we tried to 'go in' several times just to find out that reservations were required... we're lucky this time. Di...
