Handmade pasta
Handmade pastas are a central part of the menu.
Handmade pastas and bright antipasti are central to Fox & the Knife's menu. The Boston restaurant is a family-owned enoteca led by Chef Karen Akunowicz, inspired by her time in Modena, Italy. It serves traditional Italian food and drink with a modern sensibility, drawing on regional cuisine from Torino to Napoli. Aperitivi and amaro are also part of its program, and the bar offers the full menu to walk-in guests. Located in South Boston, the restaurant presents a casual, contemporary take on the food and culture of Modena. Akunowicz's menu brings together traditional and modern techniques to reinterpret familiar Italian dishes. Fox & the Knife was nominated for a James Beard Award for Best New Restaurant in 2020 and received a Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2025.
