MIDA
About
MIDA is an Italian neighborhood restaurant in Newton led by chef and owner Douglass Williams. The kitchen focuses on handmade pasta and other inspired Italian dishes, served alongside wine and cocktails. The restaurant’s name means “he gives me,” and the idea behind it is that every meal should feel like a gift, prepared with generosity and thoughtfulness for a meal shared among friends.
Williams brings fifteen years of cooking experience gathered in Paris, Thailand, New York and Boston, and the restaurant says that global experience informs every meal. Its own description calls him not shy and promises hugs and handshakes for guests who come by to say hello. Engagement with the surrounding community is part of how MIDA describes its mission, alongside thoughtful cooking.
