Resy’s Guide to Restaurants Selling Groceries in Boston

By

Yes, you can now order takeout or delivery from many of Boston’s best restaurants, but some have taken the extra step of selling readymade foods and other pantry essentials. Whether that means scratch-made pastas and sauces, DIY pizza kits, or even Angostura bitters for your next old fashioned, here’s a rundown of venues to help restock. Don’t forget: Now is the time to support the restaurants you love. (If you’re specifically looking to get wine to go, we have a guide for that, too.) 

 

 

ALCOVE
Food-wise, Alcove is selling fresh rigatoni by the pound, plus pasta salad, bread and butter, spicy marinara, and nut-free pesto by the pint. It is also hooking up home bartenders with cocktail supplies including Angostura bitters, simple syrup, blue cheese-stuffed olives, bags of ice, and mixes for making everything from bloody marys to margaritas. Order online for pick-up or get delivery

BUTTERCUP
Natick’s farm-to-table favorite is baking fresh sourdough loaves on the daily, in addition to making homemade pasta including pappardelle and campanile, sauces like marinara and pesto, and heartier fare such as meatballs and bacon quiches. Order online for takeout, curbside pick-up, and delivery.

FOX & THE KNIFE
The buzzy enoteca from current “Top Chef” contender Karen Akunowicz is selling fresh pasta and sauces as well as pantry items including olive oil, baguettes, and all-purpose flour via takeout from 12 to 4 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday.

Order online for takeout or delivery. 

TAVOLO RISTORANTE
