Moldova Restaurant

Absolutely loved my experience at Moldova Restaurant! The Moldovan dishes were bursting with flavor - especially enjoyed the sarmale and mititei. Friendly staff and great service too. If you're up for trying something new, this place is a winner!

Food was excellent! Highly recommended place for family dinner. Was impressed by the Wine flights. Definitely worth trying.

Consistently everything is on point! I've visited for appetizers and wine by the glass, and So many spots have a fairly pedestrian offering, but this place is a sommeliers dream - and they actually listen and recommendations truly in ppint.

I've now organized a number of business meetings here - from breakfast of coffee/baklava to the wine tastings/food pairings, and consistently remain impressed (as do my guests). Artur and the team continue to ensure no detail is left unnoticed and look forward to continuing to support one of the top restaurants in the Boston area.

Further, I'm looking forward to organizing future wine society events here for IW&FS and Chaîne. It's my reputation on the line but I have no doubts Artur and the Moldova team will continue to impress.

5*.

Moldova blew my socks off! My favorite dish of the night was their sour cherry crepe dessert, which was heavenly - chunks of tart cherries wrapped in cream and crepes. For four people, I recommend getting two portions. I could have gladly eaten my own.

Other favorites:
- The potato and cheese dumplings. It comes with a little dab of caramelized onions and a cup of sour cream, make sure to get a bit of everything in one bite. These reminded me of mashed potatoes in dumpling form. Cannot go wrong. The potato/cheese were better than the pork dumplings.
- The roasted chicken, which came in tender chunks that were easy to eat (beats sawing away at my bird with knife and fork). The pickled veggies on the side also provided some great flavor and textural contrast.

My husband was raving about the braised lamb, though it didn't come with a baked potato or polenta like the other entrees do. Adding some sort of carb would have really nicely soaked up all that sauce.

Our waitress was very nice and the food came out quickly, even though they were packed on a Sunday night. They had live music playing in the other room, with most of the dinner guests seating in the cafe part of the restaurant, which was a lot quieter. I'll have to come back to try the Moldovan baked pies.

This was my first time trying Eastern European food, and as a vegetarian, I was not impressed at all. The restaurant is small but cozy. The service was ok. The server was courteous but not super friendly.

The restaurant is not very veggie friendly. It had a few dishes we could order, but nothing in the entree section. Also, they were out of many things today, which seemed weird for a Sunday lunch. For example, they were out of the hummus, one of the few vegetarian options. Really?

We ordered the following:
- Potato Dumplings - this was so bland, that I couldn't eat more than two.
- Noodles - no flavor, very bland, and had no taste.
- Eggplant dip - this was ok. We had to eat it with bread.
- Baked Potato - this is filled with sour cream. Wasn't a fan.

My husband got sausage and thought it was just ok.

Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place as a vegetarian. I definitely left hungry from the restaurant.

I would describe this restaurant as very good home cooked comfort Moldovan food! I had a delicious Borsche soup, eggplant dip, lamb kebabs, and sampled the braised beef! I would certainly eat here again to try other things on the menu, because everything was fresh, portioned very well, and they also had a good selection of Moldovan wine...it was so good we brought one home. If you are not familiar with Eastern European food, you will not be disappointed by this restaurant. Also, they have live music here, so check the calendars.

We went last night for the 1st time, b/c we wanted to listen to the band, Lynn Jolicoeur & the Pulse (they were excellent, 5 stars!)
The area isn't large, our table for 9 was quite crowded, but the show was sold out so that's understandable; the food menu is limited but I loved my burger; prices are a bit high, but everyone seemed to enjoy their food. Big wine list & I loved the Feteasca Neagra red wine! Service was very good, everyone worked very hard, bartender was particularly nice & fast. The only problem came at the end. At the start of ordering, we asked for separate checks, 4 couples & 1 single person, & we were told yes. At the end of the night we got a bill for the whole table. When I asked them about it, she said she couldn't do it. But then she did so obviously it was possible. Made for a messy end to a nice evening out with friends. When dining with a large crowd, separate checks are so helpful. There can be a large disparity in what people order. Please work on making this a smoother process in the future. thank you.

Very unique flavors!

We have dined here a few times now and have really enjoyed every meal we have had here. The restaurant is spacious with plenty of seating for large groups and the decor is very nice.

I enjoy their wine selection because they offer so many Maldovian wines and the service is great!

This time I ordered their braised lamb which came with yummy sauteed vegetables and a baked potato on the side. We dined with a big group so we ordered some appetizers and the hit of the night was the eggplant sauce which was super delicious, especially dipped in bread.

The food came out nice and hot and super flavorful. My lamb was tender and juicy and I really enjoyed the tangy sauce that it was served with. The veggies were cooked perfectly and I enjoyed the crispy onion bits. I quickly devoured my entire food and I was very satisfied as always at the end.

They was a group setting up to play live music but we had dined in too early that by the time we finished they were just getting started. Oh well maybe we will catch the live music next time!

Food was excellent and most of it could be made gluten free, which was great (I am severely intolerant). I had the roasted chicken with polenta and pickled vegetables on the side and my boyfriend and I shared the roasted potato appetizer. Everything was perfectly cooked and super flavorful! Definitely go and check it out.

Great service, and delicious food! Can't wait to come back and try more of their dishes.
