We’re willing to bet you’ve never had authentic Moldovan cuisine. Or heck, any type of Moldovan cuisine. This little restaurant in Newton is one of the only places in the state where you can check out the vastly under-appreciated food of Moldova.
A visit to Moldova Restaurant will take you halfway around the world without ever leaving your seat. If you've never tried Moldovan food, you need to.
Just in case you need a refresher, Moldova is a landlocked country in Eastern Europe with a tumultuous political history and hearty, totally indulgent cuisine.
Moldovan food is all about the meat, potatoes, and cabbage. You’ll also encounter lots of pickled treats, soft cheeses, dumplings, stuffed grape leaves, and herbs.
For starters, try the fasolita, which is a rich bean paste with caramelized onions, or indulge in the hand-crafted coltunasi dumplings with potatoes or cheese.
Other incredible eats include traditional pan-fried pie with cow cheese and herbs; roasted chicken stewed in broth with onions, garlic, and pickled vegetables; and grilled chicken sausage with fresh cabbage salad, sour cream, and homemade hot sauce.
For dessert, don’t miss the sour cherry crepes, sour cherry dumplings, or traditional apple pie. If you have room, that is. It can be pretty hard not to feast on all the savory offerings here.
You won’t regret a visit to this colorful restaurant that celebrates Moldovan culture and food in the most delicious way possible. Stop by soon and culture your tastebuds.
