Davio’s Northern Italian Steakhouse

Davio’s Northern Italian Steakhouse in the Seaport is an upscale restaurant built on regional Northern Italian cooking with a focus on the grill. Signature prime aged steaks share the menu with handmade pastas, fresh seafood and seasonal cocktails, served in a spacious, white-tablecloth dining room. A lively open kitchen adds theater to the meal, and views of Boston Harbor form the backdrop, with the restaurant summing up its approach as all about the guest.

Chef and owner Steve DiFillippo bought the original Davio’s on Newbury Street in 1985, at age 24, and turned a local family restaurant into a destination by retooling the menu, space and wine list. The Seaport location opened in November 2019 with a party for about 700 guests, joining other Davio’s restaurants in Foxborough, Lynnfield, Logan Airport and beyond. Former Yankees manager Joe Torre has said Davio’s was his favorite place to go after games at Fenway.
