Welcome to Alice
"One of the best in Boston"
Ready why TimeOut Boston chose Alice as one of the best restaurants in Boston right now: “Upstairs, the kitchen leans heavily into comforting Italian-Mediterranean flavors with a stellar lineup of house-made pastas and blistered, wood-fired pizzas. We rave about the Creste di Gallo, a standout curved pasta dish tossed with vodka sauce and hearty sausage. For those looking to share small plates, the menu features classic starters like crispy arancini and a refreshing Watermelon & Sweet Corn Salad topped with ricotta salata. If pizza is on your mind, opt for a traditional Margherita or go unique with the Fungi, layered with a smoky truffle ricotta and local Rhode iIsland Mushrooms. Once you enter the sexy downstairs speakeasy, all bets are off with a dessert menu that will knock your socks off and cocktails that aren’t far behind.”

WHAT IS ALICE? a new kind of restaurant
Alice is a place you find not by map, but by mood. Somewhere between the promise of a good night and the curiosity that nudges you through one more door. If you’ve made it this far, you’re already in on the secret. The room wasn’t hiding; you just had to be curious enough to step inside. Here, time loosens its collar and settles in, letting the light settle down a little more than it should, and conversations wander off wherever they please.
You might swear this place has been waiting for you. Familiar in a way you can’t quite place, surprising in all the ways you hoped it would be. Stories stretch, glasses clink, and the night forgets to check the clock. Some say it’s luck; some say it’s timing. We say it’s just the way life ought to be. Wherever you came from, wherever you’re going, you’ve arrived exactly where you need to be — and if it feels like you’ve been here before…maybe you have.
