Bar Volpe

All the Stars and Bib Gourmands in The MICHELIN Guide Boston 2025

"Say hello to your quintessential neighborhood hangout. Armed with two bars, candles flickering on every surface and a menu committed to southern Italy, Chef Karen Akunowicz’s bigger-boned follow-up to Fox & The Knife gets all the little details just right. A lengthy amaro selection and fine-tuned cocktails set the stage for familiar dishes that deliver on flavor and finesse. Salt cod fritters come cleverly dusted in za’atar. House-made pastas like spaghetti al limone with Jonah crab or squid ink casarecce with lobster and chili are full meals that will leave barely any room for a particularly stunning veal saltimbocca. Dessert is a must, and the tiramisu with amaro-soaked ladyfingers packs all the crunch you didn’t know you needed." - The MICHELIN Guide
