A beautiful space, the Dining Room at Molti On Moody in the Greater Boston area combines style and sophistication with world-class cuisine to create an unforgettable dining experience. Food and cooking are extremely important to us here at Molti On Moody, starting with our first-class charcuterie, which is produced locally in Waltham by our sister company New England Charcuterie. Everything, from our pastas to our pickled vegetables, is made entirely in-house, from start to finish. A peek into our kitchen reveals our wood-fired oven, which is used to prepare a large portion of our menu, which includes our incredible flatbreads, rotisserie chicken, and world-famous Moody's Meatballs, among other dishes. We have two main dining spaces, the Full Dining Room (which is a private space) and the Half Dining Room (which is a semi-private space), as well as the option to purchase the entire restaurant. Our events range in size and style from intimate evenings for two celebrating an anniversary and after-work cocktail parties to corporate luncheons and large engagement celebrations. Interested? Rebecca Symonds, our Catering & Events Manager, would be delighted to give you a tour of our facility and to collaborate with you to create a one-of-a-kind event experience.
