MIDA East Boston

About

MIDA East Boston brings chef Douglass Williams’ Italian neighborhood restaurant concept to East Boston. The menu is inspired by the simplicity of classic Italian cooking, drawing on the food and culture of many regions and relying on fresh seasonal ingredients. Handmade pasta anchors the kitchen, and dinner comes with wine and cocktails. The name MIDA means “he gives me,” reflecting the restaurant’s aim of making every meal feel like a gift.

MIDA East Boston welcomes events and special occasions: it can set aside a section of the restaurant for a private party, and it also provides food for in-home gatherings and corporate events. Williams has cooked for fifteen years in places including Paris, Thailand, New York and Boston, and that global experience informs the menu. The restaurant describes its approach as generous and thoughtful, toward both its food and its community.
