South Shore Plaza Davio's Gets Opening Date

BRAINTREE, MA — One of the area's best-known chefs from the North Shore is opening up a restaurant on the South Shore.

The Steve DiFillippo-owned Davio's announced Thursday that a new location at the South Shore Plaza in Braintree is scheduled to open Oct. 10. The new restaurant is the first Davio's on the South Shore and will be located in the former Joe's American Bar and Grill near the main entrance by Miltons.

“Being a North Shore guy I've always wanted to open a restaurant on the South Shore...it's always been a dream of mine to have a Davio's there. I just can't believe the time has finally arrived to open and what could possibly be better than being in Braintree. It's very exciting and we can't wait for our guests who have enjoyed Davio's in our other Massachusetts locations for years now to experience our newest location on the South Shore," Steve DiFillippo, Chef/Owner of Davio's Northern Italian Steakhouse, said in a release.

The restaurant is promising a lunch and dinner menu with elegant Northern Italian fare and over 200 wines from California, Italy and France.

When they open, David's will serve lunch Monday-Saturday from 11:30 a.m.-3 p.m., dinner Sunday-Thursday from 5-10 p.m. and Friday-Saturday from 5-11 p.m. Brunch will be served Sundays from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. The bar lounge area will be open Sunday-Thursday until 11 p.m. and Friday and Saturday until midnight.

Currently, Davio's has locations in Boston, Foxborough, Chestnut Hill, Lynnfield, New York City, Philadelphia, Atlanta, and King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, and Irvine, California.
