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.

I am so happy that this place opened in place of Chiara, which was outdated, stuffy and overvalued because it was the only thing around. Bar' Cino is excellent in every way. Food is really well made and flavored, the service is exceptional, the interior is modern and cozy, and the prices are quite reasonable for what you get. We look forward to many more visits.

Had a nice lunch today @ Joe's. Requested a small extra cheese cooked crispy pizza and it came out perfect, as always. My guest requested a salad with chicken and it also was perfect she said.. We meet every month for lunch here and are always treated with a friendly and respectful manner. Our waiter was a young married Asian gentleman. Great server.
