Fox & the Knife is a vibrant Enoteca & Restaurant by Chef Karen Akunowicz in the heart of Boston. Nominated for the James Beard Award for Best New Restaurant in 2020 and awarded a Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2025, Fox & the Knife embraces the concept and spirit of aperitivo - a communal gathering place where guests come together to celebrate the everyday joys of good company and great food. It is a casual, contemporary homage to the food, wine, culture, and spirit of Modena, presented in a warm, welcoming, high-energy atmosphere. The menu highlights Akunowicz’s flair for soul-satisfying Italian food, perfected during her years in Italy as a chef and pasta maker. In her hands, the bold flavors of exceptional ingredients shine through both traditional and modern techniques, introducing fresh expressions of beloved classics.
