There's a brand-new wine bar in town. Located at 28 W. Broadway in South Boston, the newcomer is called Fox & The Knife.
The family owned and operated bar and Italian kitchen is the first solo endeavor by award-winning chef Karen Akunowicz, who previously served as the executive chef at Myers + Chang. Inspired by her year living in Modena, Fox & The Knife aims to be a communal gathering place paying homage to the Italian province's social and culinary culture, the website notes.
Expect a variety of appetizers and pasta plates, like tagliatelle bolognese with wild boar, thyme and parmesan; as well as a few main dishes, like chicken al mattone served with braised greens and rosemary butter. There's also a selection of beer, wine by the bottle, apéritifs and cocktails.
With a 4.5-star rating out of 13 reviews on Yelp so far, Fox And The Knife has already made a good impression.
Yelper Henry C., who reviewed the spot on Feb. 13, wrote, “My favorite dish of the night was the saffron spaghetti with tomato butter. It was full of flavor, and the textures were perfect. We also had the pesto pasta along with the braised lamb and duck confit. All were very solid and felt homey."
And Hristina N. added, "This place has a great menu and ambiance. The cocktails are well made and the bar scene is vibrant. It has a neighborhood feel, yet elevated. We had the wild boar bolognese, the grilled broccoli Caesar, the duck entrée and dessert, which were all were fantastic."
