Parties 20+ will be subject to a table minimum of $25/person per hour.The foundation for the pizza at Stoked Pizza Company comes from meticulously studying the ingredients and techniques used to produce our favorite classic pizza styles and highlighting the strengths of each in what we make. We prefer a crust that is soft and light on the inside with a crisp outer shell that can stand up on its own. We want our ingredients and topping combinations to provide an explosion of flavor. To achieve this we use extremely hot ovens along with carefully researched dough formulations, tomato varieties, and cheese blends, sparing no expense and taking no shortcuts.

    This is truly one of the better restaurants I’ve been to. Certainly one of the best in Boston. Delicious and creative food expertly prepared by culinary artists served by well informed and engaged servers. From the tuna crudo to the friend monkfish and then on to our pasta and snapper, outstanding food in every bite. This was our 5th visit and I would add that as good as each visit was, this was the best. The environment is lovely but not overdone. I am both saddened and fairly happy that I don’t live closer. It would be too easy to stop in, sit at the bar and enjoy some of this or that on a regular bases. After 70 years of life, I still have to wonder if that much of a good thing is ok. Bravo, bravo, bravo!

    I have rarely had a meal at a restaurant where every single thing I ate or drank was delightful. Although the menu listed some arcane ingredients, the chefs here are expert at putting them together beautifully. What a wonderful, wonderful meal!!

    We had an absolutely amazing dinner at Giulia last night. We kicked things off with some of our go-to favorites: the Unicorn Oyster, Warm Semolina Cake, and Crostini with chicken liver mousse. All three were just fantastic—exactly how we remembered them. Next up was the crudo, which was spot-on. The combo of beans, lemon, and mandarin was so fresh and bright—it really hit the mark. For pasta, we went with the Duck Wing Tortellini and Wild Boar Pappardelle. The tortellini was out of this world, with perfect flavor balance, and the pappardelle? Wow. Big, tender chunks of boar in a killer ragu. Just perfection. We wrapped it up with the Lamb Sausage, which was ridiculously good. So much flavor packed into every bite. Service was amazing as always and the coctails, Wines and Amaro selection is always impresive
